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

"He's gonna be okay." Evan whispers to me. 


Shortly after the gunshot, Evan and his men found us and we drove him to the nearby hospital. It's been a few hours since we've we admitted him and we've gotten no news from the doctors as of yet. 


"Don't lie to her." Jordan says quietly, but I heard it. 


"It's okay. I'm okay." I say, wiping my tear stained cheeks. 


"He loves you. He's not gonna leave you just yet." Avery says, taking a seat beside me and giving me a side hug. I lean onto her shoulder as I cry silently. She got here very quickly, after Evan called her up to stick around with me. I'm happy he did, he's progressing as an older brother. 


"Do you wanna go wash up?" She asks softly, referring to my hands. 


They still have his blood on them, as do his clothes that I'm still wearing. 


"Come on." She says and tugs me towards the bathroom. 


After washing up, I come back and sit back down in the same seat as before.
