Chapter 146
Oh, why didn't I think of that in the first place? But I'm glad it stopped. I don't think I'll ever want to hear a clock tick again in my entire life, because it'll only remind me of that bastard pushing in and pulling out of me.
"What happened?" Scott asks just as Roxy runs into the living room.
"I heard something break, what happened?" she asks and I drop myself into Scott's arms and sob bitterly.
How am I supposed to heal when that asshole keeps haunting me, it's only the first day for crying out loud! I know letting go will be the hardest thing to do and at this point and I'm glad my parents aren't around, I'd definitely be avoiding them if they had been around and mom would have noticed.
Scott holds me tight in his arms and rubs my back gently as I cry like a child. How could someone I thought I loved turn into no one? A stranger. It's like I didn't even know him at all! He has always been two-faced all this time. Two-timing me with Sabrina, damn it! I know I can try to forget all about him but, there is no way that I can erase everything we did together and the thought of that breaks me and the pain in my chest tightens and I lose it. I burst out in tears as a feeling of emptiness takes over me.
"I can't take this anymore. I just..." I sniffle, "I can't. It hurts so much. I hate him, so much, I wish he could die!" I yell as I continue crying.
"Hush!" Scott says and helps me sit on the couch.

Roxy's POV
Kyrah and I have been friends for years and one thing I came to learn from her is that any time she was sad, she always wanted to be alone and I always knew that if I left her alone, she'd try and do something bad to take away the sadness. She broke plates the last time she broke up with her first boyfriend and God knows what she could have done if I wasn't around. The kitchen floor was full of shards of plates that day.
I'm still not surprised that she broke that wall clock.
"I'm not going anywhere then," I tell her.
She lifts her head and sniffles.
"Just go see your dad," she whispers while holding on to Scott.
"But–"
"Go, I'll keep an eye on her. Trust me, Roxy," Scott says and I purse my lips. I know she's in good hands, literally.
"Okay, but if you need anything, and I mean anything at all, don't hesitate to call me, okay?" I tell him.
"Alright," he says and I pull Kyrah into a hug.
"That wanker will pay for what he did to you, I swear it on my mom's grave. He will pay!" I tell her and she tightens her hug. "Scott, can I... have a word with you, in the kitchen?" I walk to the kitchen and he follows me.
"Promise me you'll keep her busy, it'll help keep her distracted from thinking about that shitface." I sigh.
"Promise. I won't leave her side," he assures me and I nod and head back to the living room. As if on cue, Kyrah's phone, which is on the coffee table, buzzes and I spot her jumping from the couch and reaching out to get it, but I grab it before she does.
"Oh no you don't. Let me see who it is first." I check the notification, and it's a voice message from that piece of shit. "It's from him," I tell her, Scott grits his teeth and shakes his head.
"Delete it," she says, her voice full of anger. I hesitate for a second and Scott snatches the phone from me and deletes the voice message and hands Kyrah her phone.
"I don't want it. You can go with it, if my parents call, you'll know what to say to them. Tell them everything is fine. I need to stay away from that phone or else I'll end up talking to him," she says bitterly.
Vic walks into the house and he frowns when he notices Kyrah's wet face.
"Let's go, Vic. Scott has everything under control," I say and I lock the door behind me. As we get into my car, an idea pops up in my mind and I smirk.
"We just have to make a few pit stops on our way to Wolf Street," I tell Vic and he shrugs as he puts his seatbelt on and I step on the gas.
"Remember when we once got arrested for stealing stuff at Mrs. McElroy's supermarket?" I chuckle as I stare at the road ahead.
"Yeah. We swore to never tell anyone," Vic reminds me and for sure, not even Kyrah knows we've ever been arrested. "What's on your mind, sis?"
"Nothing that serious. I think we should pass by her supermarket, I need to get something." I smile.
"I know that smile and whatever it is, I'm in!" Vic grins.
People always say that trouble follows them, when for my brother and I, we chase trouble instead. We always want trouble so right now, we're hunting for some trouble and I can already feel the adrenaline rush through my veins.
"Trouble, trouble, here we come!" I chuckle.
