"I dare you,"
He said to me with determination in his eyes.
"I dare you to try and make me believe those words that are coming out of your mouth. If you succeed then I'll change my ways."
"And what happens if I don't?"
He smirked at me, revealing h...

"Would you quit thinking of my best friend? It's getting weird." -Amir Ali, IASWAD.
CHAPTER TWENTY TWO: Seeing Veronica
Adam Mathews
"Zamzam..." I muttered her name under my breath. I don't know why but lately I've been thinking a lot of her. I'd catch myself smiling every time I thought of her and I'm freaking out because of it. I'm Adam Mathews! I don't fall for girls, they fall for me. But not this one... With her everything is different.
"Would you quit thinking of my best friend? It's getting weird." Amir commented with a disgusted look on his face. Right now we're at my house about to get into my father's study. "Do you like her or something?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow. Do I like her? I asked myself.
"Let's just go!" I pushed him into the study and went in after him. We made our way to his desk where I found the letters. I slowly opened the drawer the letters were in and noticed that they were gone. "Where did they go!?" I started to panic. "You said they were here right?" Amir began to panic as well. "Yes they were here! I showed you the photos!" I replied irritably.
Who could've taken them? I thought my dad was in Europe! Someone had to come in and take them for him. He must know that I'm on to him. I began to run my hand through my hair and started pacing back and forth. "Do you think he knows about everything we're up to?" Amir questioned with the same worried look I had on. At this moment I didn't know what to think about all of this.
Suddenly my phone buzzed indicating I got a text.
Unknown: Zamzam is in danger!
I stared at the text wide eyed, Zamzam is in danger. What do they mean she's in danger!? "Adam what's going on?" Amir grabbed my phone and read the text. "You call Isa and I'll go get Zamzam." I told him as I quickly grabbed my phone from him as I ran to my car and started the ignition. She's in danger and it's all my fault! I shouldn't have told her anything.
I hope she's alright...
Zamzam Amin
"You have to come with me please! Come on Liya!" I practically whined. Ever since what happened last time at Gram's store I had been more alert than ever. Scar-face and whoever else is working with him are constantly watching me and that scares me more than I know. You know what else I can't seem to wrap my mind around? Why were they watching me of all people? I mean I have nothing to do with Adam and his dad's business. But then again them watching me did help me figure out what was going on. For a second there Aliyah pretended to think as she placed a hand under her chin.
