10| hell

S E R I N E

"You? What are you doing here?"

"Well hello to you to,"

"So you saw it was me,"

"I mean you definitely look older now,"

"No I do not,"

"Yes,"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"No,"

"Yes"

"Are we seriously gonna do this?" I scoff. "How the hell are you even working for the FBI?" I add.

"First of all, we were already doing it," I roll my eyes.

Okay, smart ass.

"And second," the interesting part. "I worked very hard for my position-"

"Okay, okay, I get it. Almost everybody works hard to get where they want to be. Trust me, you don't have to give the whole speech."

"I wasn't going to give you the speech, you just cut me off,"

Fucking hell.

"Has anybody told you how annoying you are?"

"Nope," he shrugs and I squint my eyes at him. "You're the only one who gets easily irritated. So it's safe to say you're an easy target."

Everybody!

You have sort of met this person before.

><

My heart was bleeding.

I moved away, giving him space with her. I stood up slowly- feeling as if my world had crumbled apart. Trying to steady myself, I almost fall but arms catch me before I even collide with the floor. I find myself looking at a pair of unfamiliar orbs- my hand in a fist as his big hands wrap around my wrists. They then wrap me around their arms and before I knew it, I'm in a hug- tears covering my face.

"Why would you do this to me God?! Why!" I cry onto the strangers shoulder. "How could you take her away from me?" the last sentence comes out of my lips, barely above a whisper. A bundle of sobs escape me and there I sit- on the ground- my continuous tears.

><

He.

He was that stranger. That caught me when I almost fell.

Literally this time.

He was the one that held me tight when her death was still fresh. Ignoring his comment, I began walking away. The road pretty much empty but I was still cautious. I know it's a bit stupid to be think they'd be a car in the road almost at the edge of the cliff- but y'know.

I stare at the familiar scene before me. It wasn't my first time coming here.

It was peaceful, I liked hearing nothing. I liked the silence of it all. I sat down, my legs crossed as I blow out a breathe. I remember finding this spot after I had come from vacation, from an island.

I didn't why I knew he'd be behind me but I knew. And I didn't feel scared. I didn't feel like another person who worked for the law, wanted my statement, or wanted to arrest me based on lose information. "What happened back there?"

I shrug. "I never got your name," I stare lowly, ignoring the question. "Louis Enzo,"

"Do you say that like together, though?" I ask finally looking at him. Finally seeing him clearly for the first time. He had gorgeous black eyes, that could've easily been mistaken for brown from far away. His face was sculpted just the right way, his jaw that he moving was defined, his skin looking naturally tanned. His raven black hair that he seemed was growing- suited him. He played with the gigantic silver rings on his fingers.

"You can call me Enzo," he says. "Why Enzo?"

"Louis isn't me," I nod, understanding. "I figure you already know who I am?"

"Serine Williams,"

"You almost got it," he arches his brow. "Serine Santana... Williams,"

"But Serine suits me better," a smile appears on his face. "You're ignoring the question,"

"Wh- oh. You're not my therapist though,"

"You don't have to tell me. It's none of my business-"

"You pity me," I chuckle with 0 humour. "I'm not understanding," he shakes his head almost in an unnoticeable way and I roll my eyes. "Two years ago my best friend slipped away from my arms and everybody who I never thought would be there, was there. You're here, pitting me like the rest of them. You're most probably here because you think I'm some crazy person who wants to kill herself,"

"And to answered your question, Serine Santana Williams, happened there,"

"It's just who I am," I nonchalantly shrug and make my way towards my black car.

I swear I need a new one.

"Where were you?"

"Yeah, I was worried sick,"

"I just went out for a drive. I needed a bit of fresh air," I sigh, as I keep walking. So I had kind of bunked.

I missed part of lesson- my whole lesson, really but Levine had the work covered for me. "You ok?" Angelo asks once again, his hand on my waist as I walk closely beside him. "Better," I mutter and he plants a kiss on my forehead.

We were all on our way to the school hall- to have our stupid assembly that was delayed and only now beginning. "Sheesh, can you walk any slower, you little shit?"

A voice from behind me says. Before I could even react, I found my body traveling down the floor. Much effort and anger was put in that push. Me not expecting it just added to it.

Before my body makes contact with the floor, hands catch me.

I exhale.

I find my way back up with the help of Angelo and I hear someone turn their heel. "What the hell is your deal?"

Levine's voice.

Once I'm up, I dust myself off and turn around. Levine was sending burning glares to Amber and if looks could kill-

She wouldn't even be six feet under.

"If you mess with her, you mess with me. Lay another hand on either one-" Amber smirks, making her way towards David and before we even knew it- she was kissing him. David pushed her away on 0,1 seconds and it even took me time to process.

With her sinister look, Levine doesn't hesitate in throwing not slap- but a punch to her cheek. Everybody 'ooo's' at the sound. Including me.

"Fuck, I've always wanted to do that," She shakes her hands off in the air. "Listen up you little whore," she lifts her up by her clothing.

"If you ever, ever, fucking lay your hand on my man again, I will not hesitate to beat the plastic out of you,"

"No run your way out of here, before I wreck your face," she says once she released her grip.

Just a moment of victory is all we had.

I felt a hand yank my hair back and I almost let out a scream but I don't. I backhand the fucker before I could even spot them. It was Kelly.

Her blonde dye was coming out as I spotted her brown roots.

Anger consumes me.

I've had enough of this day.

I slam her against the locker like she did me when I was younger. She screams and before my hand can collide with her face, somebody yanks my arm off. I turn around with a punch- having enough and my fist collides with a hard face. With the figure staggering- someone else delivers their own punch to them.

Angelo.

A smirk covers my frustrated expression.

"Don't you ever fucking lay a finger on her," He mutters to Alex who was on the ground and he only chuckles. He gets up slowly. "Oh you fucking hit like a girl,"

"Then you sure as hell wouldn't mind me breaking your face," Levine steps forward. "Yeah fucking right,"

"Try me,"

"I don't try bitches," I squint my eyes at him.

Who was he?

"Don't you fucking dare," David shots him glare that could make any person shiver. "If you fucking wanna get through her," Darek comes along. "You're gonna have to get pass, us," Nina completes.

"Oh now this is just hilarious," Kelly comes in again. "Really Nina? You left us, for them?"

"Their better then your fake ass," Nina steps toward and Kelly glares at her. "You all just made one big mistake,"

"We're not gonna be at war with you guys, that is so high school," I shake my head. "I don't have time to do that with a bunch of kids."

"Who said anything about war?" Alexander tilts his head to the side. Our eyes locking, as I glare and he smirks. He steps closer and fight the urge to not step back.

"I am going to make your life, a living hell,"
