《Once Again ✔️》Chapter 20
Advertisement
It's been a week since it happened. Everything has been calm and no unknown gifts or maybe even threats coming to our house.
I just wish he stop all of this. I didn't want to make my parents worry and my sweet-over protective- sister, she would panic and maybe even lock me down the basement to make sure I'm safe and still alive.
It did occur for me to tell, my boyfriend, Sebastian about him.
There would be pain along with betrayal and broken trust but I don't want it to lengthen more. I don't want to feel scared everytime I sleep. I want to wake up with no worries and thoughts that linger through my head and especially, I don't want to remember.
my sister held me in the arm as she makes her way upstairs to her room. I have no idea what she's doing. I've been reading and letting myself calm for the most part and here she goes breaking that calm stillness that I've been making for the past days.
pulling my hand successfully fro her as I cross my hands in front of my chest.
She just smirks at me evily. Everytime she did that, I got chills and everything goes downhill bad. So now, I don't think I want to hear it anymore.
I was supposed to get back but she held my hand and force me to sit on her bed.
Oh boy!
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
My sister was cheering me up I know, but this! Partying and getting drunk was never one of my least concerns. It was her way of coping up stress I think, but maybe she just want me to forget everything and live my life.
At least my sister cares, right?
My sister dress me in a white off shoulder chiffon blouse with ruffles on the chest part and a black skirt on me. It was cold at night mostly and I'm glad my sister didn't give me a lot of skin showing dresses. Although the skirt is too short, I do have a spare jacket on me and can cover it up with it.

My sister joined me and I was dumbstruck at her look. She was definitely glowing and her look was feisty and you could see her walk in confidence unlike mine.
She knows how to talk to people and have fun in her life. She is an outgoing woman and she's proud of it.
She, unfortunately had a talk with my parents before going out and she complained to me about all her sufferings in terms to our parents and of course my boyfriend.
Yeah... More like problems and headaches. I appreciate my sister's effort to let me live a little and it warms my heart that she would do everything to make me safe.
We already said our goodbyes to our parents and can't help but to laugh and feel warm at the though of Sebastian.
"Lorena asked you and you approve of it?" I couldn't help but be a little bit suspicious about it.
"Yeah, and she already gave me info about the bar, the location, the owner and if the place have a cctv" chuckling a bit.
He seems like a detective, we'll a hot one too.
" Are you serious? Hahahaha... Don't worry, it's not like I'm going to be kidnapped or selled into a human trafficking, well I could be but my sister's here and we'll, yeah"
"Don't take drinks from other person, no touching,no looking. Not. Even. A. Glance"
If I wasn't talking to him in the phone, he must look like a father teaching his kids how to cross the street.
Father.
He will be a good father, if he even wanted too.
Blushing at that thought, I stop my mind from wandering too much.
"Lara? You still there?"
"Oh! Uh- yeah, uh- can you repeat?"
He just laughs and I swear it's the most beautiful sound I could ever hear. His low baritone voice, with the combination of sweet and dark sound. If he ever decided to become a radio dj, he will be a successful one at that.

"Just.... Be safe okay? Be sure to remember the things I told you"
"Yeah"
"I love you"
A smile makes way immediately to my face as i held the phone tightly I'm afraid it will break.
Heart beating so fast like a I've run to a marathon I open my mouth and say.
"I love you to the moon and back"
I was still on my la-la land with Sebastian when the car pulled up and the loud blaring songs was enough to wake me up on my la-la land.
She almost run towards the door if I haven't got a hold on her.
It was loud, like really really loud along with the chattering and screaming of the people here in the bar its enough to make my ears bleed.
Colored lights dancing along to the rhythm of the music. People with their most sexiest clothes grinding and dancing along the club. Men with their scrutinizing eyes as they raked every corners of a woman's body.
Men and women who were barely old enough to go the bar we're sending flirty glances towards each other. Couples already sucking each other's faces and some leaving and going out to do something along with their partners.
And here I am, dancing and throwing my head and arms as I try to match the beat of the music. "Cool for the summer" by Demi Lovato was being played in the club.
It's making me feel wild and free, not that I'm not, but I feel a little liberated this time. I also drink about 5 glasses of vodka and I'm feeling hot and sweaty right now, coupled with my dizzy head, I was sure to get a painful hangover tomorrow.
My bladder was full and I really wanted to get to the restroom this fast.
Staggering steps were made as soon as I go to the restroom. Flushing it, I take a look into the mirror.
Splash, splash.
The only sound that I can hear was the splash sound of the water on the faucet as I wash my hands on it. The lights were a bit dimmed and it was eerie.
No one was here and suddenly I felt a chill on my back. Looking at the mirror, the last thing I see was a pair of blue eyes filled with an evil glint and hostility towards me, after that darkness took over me as I felt a cooth on my nose.
I hope they find me.
