Bloody Secrets - 5 What if?

ACE KIEN FIERA

Thinking of the possibilities that could happen if I am with her. She is known to be dangerous and no one who is in the right mind would want to stay by her side. Just by looking at her, how lonely is she? Is she even okay with the way that she is being treated?

I want to be with her even though it seems impossible.

“For real, dude?” He asked in disbelief as he strongly smacked my head. I just glared at him and continued to drink my Yakult which he bought by the way.

We are here at the rooftop of the Business and Management Building because the girls from the Entertainment Building in this Academy keeps on bothering me and Sean. Well, Sean is a model and a singer so everyone knows and adores him. But the truth is, he is a casanova and does not want to be in a serious relationship. He doesn’t want any commitment.

“Are you sure with that damn decision of yours?” He asked with a serious tone in his voice. I just nodded as an answer. I won’t avoid her. I know that I’m making the right decision and I hope until the end I won’t regret this.

“You know if you continue to do this, your family will go nuts. They will investigate about that girl and when they found out that she is like that they will really. I mean let her pay for seducing you.” He explained and now sat down beside me.

“Well, she didn’t seduce me. I’m attracted to her from the beginning.” I stated but he does have a point. If my family finds out that I’m interested in this kind of girl, they will find a way for me not to be with her. How uncool right? Its as if I’m the lady but its true. This is my world and I know my parents will surely not approve, even Ava doesn’t like her.

“Whatever. So, what is your plan?” He then asked.

“I don’t know,” I replied and finally stood up. As of now, I can’t think of any. I just want to enjoy the moment that I’m always with her because I don’t know what might happen in the future.

“Come on. It’s the next subject.” I stated. We went towards our classroom fast.

Once we got there, I saw her staring at the window. Is she spacing out? But even though she’s spacing out I find her interesting. I mean, I don’t know anything about her except about the thing that she is known as the most dangerous girl in this town. I don’t know why she is called by that. Has she done something wrong? Or better yet, did she hurt someone or worse kill? I want to know more about her. I want to know who her family is. What do they do? How did she become like this? Why is she beautiful? And why did I fell for her? So many questions that I can’t answer on my own.

“What are you looking at?” I heard Sean asked that made me came back to reality. I looked stupid staring at her, now everyone is looking at me.

“Nothing.” I simply answered and proceed towards my seat. When I finally sat down, I realized that she’s already looking at me. She is staring and she’s still not averting her eyes. It’s kind of giving me the creeps though.

“Let’s go home together.” She said UNEXPECTEDLY. What? Did I hear her right? Then she continued to look at the window. Never mind, she’s not serious about that. Isn’t she?

Hours had finally passed and it’s about time to go home but she’s still sleeping. I waited for a minute until our classmates finally left the room including Sean. Since that he still wants to go to the club where his girlfriend is, his 49th girlfriend for now. The hell how does he easily get bored? I don’t even have any girlfriend and he already got 49! Well, I’m already engaged. That’s worse than his.

Wait…

Her eyelashes are long. Her lips are so red… And she suddenly yawns in front of me then murmurs something.

“What?” I asked and came closer.

“Ready to go home?” She asked without opening her eyes.

“Yeah. Let’s go?” I answered, she finally stood up and gets her bag. We head on towards my car at the parking lot and when I faced her, she’s yawning again. Is she still tired? What is she even doing every night? She’s always asleep during daylight. I always notice that though. It’s already a month since I’m sticking onto her but our relationship doesn’t have any label yet. The reason is, well I don’t want to ask.

“Where will I take you?” I asked but she didn’t answer and got in the car. When I stepped inside the car she’s already sleeping, AGAIN. I carefully closed the door and looked at her. She is sleeping.

“Hey,” I called, she suddenly pushed me. What then?

“H-hey!” I said but she just smirked at me.

“Close your eyes and don’t get out of here no matter what.” She whispered into my ears. What does she mean by that? I don’t know but I just closed my eyes and waited for something?

Until I heard…

*Crash* *Crash*

What the hell was that? Although she told me not to go out of the car, I hurriedly went out and ran towards the people making those noises. Even though I still not know whether she is there, I managed to come near them. When I finally got there, I was surprised when seeing her fight those men again. However now, their numbers have increased and SHIT!

“Aviana-” I was about to run towards her because she was about to be stabbed but why do I feel like I’m the one who is stabbed?

I looked around and a guy is grinning behind me. But I was surprised when a knife flew towards this guy’s head. I saw how his blood came out and dripped from his head. Hence, I noticed something sting and I touched where that part is and…

“B-blood?” I whispered. I looked at her and she quickly snatches the knife from the guy beside her. The next thing I know is that I’m on the ground and I’m looking at her while she kills those people one by one.

She’s killing them…

Don’t kill them Aviana. You’ll be imprisoned because of this.

“A-ace?” She called when all of them were finally lying at the ground, she put my head on her lap. I wanted to talk but no words are coming out from my mouth. I hopelessly closed my eyes for a sec then open it again. I looked at her and touched her face. I don’t know why I’m smiling now but a tear just escaped from the corners of her eyes.

“H-hey,” I called but she just burst into tears even more.

“H-how did you know my name?” I asked. I don’t know but she is the person that doesn’t care about someone. So how did she know my name? I also thought that I didn’t tell her and she is always asleep in class. So how?

“Sorry.” That’s the only thing I heard from her and my surroundings turned into darkness. I want to wake up beside you if that’s even possible.

I woke up at the hospital with my parents looking worried. I looked around but that just made me dizzy. My head hurts and where I was stabbed too. I looked around again and tried to find the person whom I wanted to see when I wake up but she’s not here. Hence, I suddenly felt my wound sting which made me closed my eyes. It still hurts.

“Mom?” I called, she immediately comes near me. She’s trembling when she held my hand, her hands were cold though. She looks worried and afraid.

“Thank God you’re awake. It’s been 3 days Ace.” She said and cried. I looked around for the third time, she is not here.

“The doctors said that you were stabbed. I’m so worried.” She said pressing my hands tightly.

“How did I get here?” I asked.

“A nurse saw you outside the hospital,” Dad said and put his phone in his pocket.

“Where is Aviana?” I asked worriedly.

“Aviana?” Someone said and shut the door.

“So, she is the reason why you were about to die. She is something huh?” She furiously asked.

“Who is that Ava?” Dad asked then she glared at me.

“She is a girl known for killing guys and such. She should not be near him. Look at his state! He was about to die because of her.” She protested.

“Is that true Ace?” Father asked.

“N-” but I was cut by Ava.

“Don’t you dare say she’s not.” She stated. I had no choice but to stay silent. I can’t deny it because it’s true. However, it’s not right for Ava to say those things about her.

“No,” I stated boldly.

“Oh really?” Ava sarcastically answered.

“You will not see that girl ever again!” Dad surprisingly shouted then came near me. I didn’t talk anymore and stayed shut. Damn it, Aviana! I knew that this day would come. I didn’t expect that I won’t say anything against what Ava is saying about you. I can’t believe myself but all you ever did was to protect me, that’s all.

“Once you get better. We will be flying next week to Europe.” I heard from Dad. I looked at him but he just stared at me coldly. I didn’t even notice that it’s already time for us to go to Europe. What about her? What’s going to happen to her?

After the talk and things, they got out of the room for me to take a rest. I breathed heavily as I remember what happened from that night. Did she kill them? I saw how she brutally stab each and one of those men. A minute later, I heard my phone rang. I reached for it and it’s an unrecognized number.

“Hello?” I asked.

“How are you?” A girl’s voice and it sounds like it just finished from crying.

“Aviana?” I asked.

“Yes.” She said. Just as I thought, it’s her.

“Where are you?” I asked worriedly. She just stopped from crying what if something happened to her?

“Outside” She simply replied and when I looked at the door there is a person’s shadow. I immediately remove the blanket from my body and was about to get out of the bed but…

“Don’t go outside. I can hear you moving.” She said on the other line.

“But…” I protested.

“If you do that, I’ll take you away from here.” She stated. It made me stop. I then recalled how she killed those men. She killed someone. But she did that because of me. I once again looked at the door. I want that Aviana. I want you to take me away. Aviana please let’s get away from this place. I proceed to get out of the hospital bed and went towards the door.

When I opened the door, I saw her again. Her arms were covered in bruises, her face is pale and her eyes were swollen maybe because of crying. What happened to her? I pulled her and hugged her tightly.

“I know that you will be in this state and if that happens, they’ll take you away.” She said as she escapes from my embrace then holds my face.

“I don’t want that.” She paused and kissed me.

“So, come with me.” She then whispered in my ears.
