Erin Hawkwood is a junior in high school and the perfect child, even when her twin Evelyn, and older brother Evan seem otherwise. That's until she meets Elijah D'Cruz on accident, who shows her what she's been missing....


His eyes pool with tears and I can't stop my tears from streaming down my face. My hands are trembling with the gun in it and I don't even know if I'll be able to hold it up straight. Is this it? The end?

"I love you babygirl." He says, placing a kiss on my forehead, before turning the corner of his car and all I can hear are gun shots and wails and screams.

The Nose Piercing Boy

As I reach the driveway, sweat droplets appear on my skin. My face looks drenched and dull. 


I wipe off the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand and stalk towards the front door. 


I push open the door to find it completely quiet. Almost too quiet. 


"Evan? Avery?" I'm sure they were here just a few hours ago. 


I take a quick peek through the curtains and see there are cars parked on the driveway. Mine, Evan's and Avery's. 


I take quick cautious steps up the stairs, as I hear a small screech from upstairs. 


I feel a gush of wind. I notice the back door is slightly pulled open. 


I pull out my gun from the back of my shorts, as I walk up the stairs, making sure to not create any sounds. 


As I near the top of the staircase I hear a few muffled whimpers. Evan's door is slightly creaked open and beneath the door is a pool of red crimson. 


I rush towards the door and shove it open, holding up my gun to whoever is in there, but I feel a quick tug on my foot.
