Hera’s pov
I continued to run after the car but it was driving too fast.
I stopped running to catch my breath – I was panting heavily.
I bent a little holding my knee with one hand and the with my other hand on my chest as I continued to breath tiredly.
G0sh!
I could swear that I saw Delaney.
She was the girl in the car.
Oh God! Why did I have to loose her?
I was so close to getting her.
Didn’t she see me or she pretended not to see me?
G0sh!
How do I get to see her again?
I really need to get that necklace from her.
Now, I was so close to getting her but I lost her.
D@mn it!

Delaney’s pov
I don’t know if I was just hallucinating that I heard someone call out to me.
And the girl Xavier had hit, I didn’t get to see her properly but she looked doubtfully familiar.
“Hey, are you okay?” Xavier turned to look at me briefly before focusing back on the road.
“Yeah. Why?” I replied and stared at him.
“You look lost. Before I had hit the girl, you were cheerful and you wouldn’t stop grinning but now, your face… You look dull and lost.”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I just thought maybe I heard someone call me, but it’s fine. Maybe I was hallucinating.” I shrugged and smiled.
“Okay. If you say so.” He smirked and took a quick glance at me.
I smiled broadly and stared as he focused on the road, “I say so.”

Xavier’s pov
Okay, I didn’t actually know how it happened. I didn’t even know what gave me the gut to ask Delaney to go out with me to the beach side.
I didn’t regret one bit with her at the beach. She was happy and really cheerful.
I don’t know why the sudden change I have towards her. I seriously don’t know where it’s coming from.
I smiled to myself as I watched her drift slowly into sleep.
I used one of my hands to place her head properly on the car head rest and she stirred lightly.
She smiled and it looks like her smile was contagious because I smiled too.

“How was the outing son!” Mom squealed enthusiastically as Delaney and I entered into the sitting room – where mom was already waiting eagerly for us.
“Argh! It was fine mom.” I breathed out and spread out my arms.
“Really? Delaney did you enjoy the view from the beach?” She asked sweetly.
“Yeah. It was fun.” Delaney smiled shyly and looked at me briefly before turning back to look at mom.
“I’m so proud of you son! You should take her out more often.” Mom giggled and kssed my cheeks.
“Yeah, sure. So, kind I go to my room now? I’m tired and dizzy already.” I gave her a tight lip smile.
“Sure, sure, son. You must be really exhausted. You should go to bed so you would wake up early for school tomorrow.” Mom giggled.
“Alright mom. Goodnight.” I kssed her cheeks and made for the stairs.
“Night son.” Her voice trailed after me.
“And goodnight Delaney.” I called out, smiling sheepishly to myself.
I heard a loud gasped and it seems to have come from mom.
G0sh! Mom can be so dramatic.
“Did you just say that Xavier?” Mom yelled. I shook my head and laughed loudly.
“Night too Xavier.” I heard Delaney’s voice.

I took my bath and wore my pyjamas.
I set my alarm and plonked hard my bed.
I was so tired that as soon as my back touched the bed, I yawned and fell asleep.

Chelsea’s pov
“Okay, look Delaney, this isn’t easy for me to do but I’ve got no choice than to do it.
I’m doing this because of Xavier and no one else.” I told Delaney as I eyed her disdainfully.
“I don’t understand what you are saying Chelsea.” She arched her brows.
“Okay, I’m saying sorry for what happened the previous day. I’m not accepting the fact that I tried to frame you, no, I would never do that.
I’m apologizing because Xavier told me to do so. And it would be best if you would tell him that I already apologized.” I rolled my eyes and hissed.
“Oh! You can keep your pathetic sorry to yourself, I don’t need it. You should swallow your pride before your pride swallows you.” She smirked.
What?
Did she just say that to me?
“Did you just open that mouth of yours to speak to me that way?” I seethed angrily.
“I don’t see anyone in front of me except you and that means, I just said those words to you.” She said, sounding so bold.
“Btch! You’re being btchy because you live with Xavier huh? It’s gonna be over very soon and you’d be back to the street where you belong.” I glared murderously at her.
“You should find something meaningful to do with your life instead of going about being proud and pompous.
You wouldn’t gain anything. Now, if you would excuse me I have better things to do than standing here and exchanging words with you.” She smirked triumphantly at me.
She made to leave but I yanked her hair hard.
She winced and removed my grip from her hair.
“You should know your limit you lowlife.” I seethed angrily, glaring hard at her.
“Really? You’re really so cheap.” She chuckled mockingly.
Okay, where the hell is she getting such guts from?
Is this Delaney or her doppelganger?
This can’t be that Delaney that looks like she don’t even know even the tiniest bit of insult.
I raised my hand to smack her hard on the face but someone caught my hand just in the mid air.
What the h.ell?
I gasped as I stared at the person that held my hand.
