Don't Mess With Her

-He's right-

Lili's POV

So, eventually I agreed to keep my word to the deal.

This is not gonna be easy.

He left a while after so Kyle doesn't get suspicious.

Gladly, I don't have to go to school tomorrow and the day after because I was told to rest at home.

It's now 11pm and I couldn't sleep.

I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling when my phone pinged.

I took my phone from the nightstand and raise an eyebrow when it was sent from an unknown number.

I opened up the chat and my heart stopped for a second when I read what was sent.

Unknown:

You think you'd escape that easily? I don't think so. You must still be sulking about your not-so-dead lover, aren't you? How pathetic.

And don't even think about going to the cops.

-Crushed S.

Then I got another message from the same number.

It was a picture of Caleb kissing some girl which was linked to a number.

I accidentally dropped the phone in shock but caught it before it fell.

My hands were shaking as I dialled the phone number.

It can't be.

He died. He was covered in his own blood. We buried him.

Soon, it was ringing for a few seconds before someone picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

After hearing the voice that I so badly wanted to hear for the past few months, I hung up and I started felt like I was suffocating so I decided to go for a walk at night, in a black hoodie and leggings.

I walked and walked until I found myself looking up to Ryder's house.

I've only ever been to his house one time, though.

I went to where I assumed was his room and thankfully, his lights were still on.

There was a tree next to his balcony so I decided to climb it and pray I don't fall on die.

I can do this.

Carefully, I climbed up the tree and before I knew it, I was on the top and all it took was one leap.

Gosh, how did he make it look so easy.

I took a deep breath and jumped from the tree branch to his balcony.

I stumbled a little before regaining my position.

Why am I here again?

What the hell am I thinking?!

Oh God, am I drunk? What am I doing here?!
