DYLAN’S HOME***
BEDROOM**
“Lesley?” Dylan called and she turned over.
“Is Ari asleep?”
“Yeah” She replied.
“So,,, you wanna tell me now? You wanna tell me what is happening and why you’re doing this? Why are you trying to ki|| Scarlett?” She asked.
“I’m gonna explain very soon once everything settles down” Dylan said.
“You keep saying that. I’m helping you, ki|| that girl slowly without knowing why”
“You’ll know why soon”
“I just hope so…” Lesley said.
“Ah,,, by the way,,, I gave her the drugs again”
“The ones I gave you, and asked you to give her when she comes?”
“Yes” Lesley nodded.
“The last one finished so she came for another and I gave it to her”
Dylan smiled.
“You’re the best, ever”
She smiled back.
Dylan hugged her, and cuddled her in his arms.
She giggled and also held him close.
“I don’t wanna know you and Ari” He said.
“Me too” She replied.
Dylan looked at her face and kissed her lip, nibbling on it gently.
He took his lips away and Lesley slowly opened her eyes. She smiled at him and he cuddled her more.
Ari who was there, with them, slowly opened her eyes. written by sommy pearl f.

“Mum!!” Scarlett shouted and went in.
“Baby lett?” Marie whispered, and switched off the cooker.
She was in the kitchen, preparing dinner.
“Don’t baby me!” Scarlett shouted, seeing her mother walk into the sitting room.
“What…What’s wrong?” Marie asked.
“What are you hiding from me!” Scarlett’s voice trembled and tears ran down her eyes.
“I…don’t understand” Marie shook her head.
“What really happened years back?!”
“What are you talking about?”
“Your eyes!!! What happened to your eyes, really?! How did you suddenly get blind and don’t you feed me with those lies that, your eyes had problems and defects which led it”
“Scarlett, calm down,,, huh? Why are you bringing that up, now and out of the blue?”
“I can’t even trust you either? None of you? Talk about it now!!” Scarlett shook her head.
“If only you never bullied him!!!” Marie shouted, sitting down.
“Wait. Don’t tell me it’s true. You gave him your eyes. The rapist? The Mr Feel?” She asked.
There was deep silence.
“And what if I did. He never deserved it. All of what you did to him” Marie finally broke it.
“Don’t tell me that! He deserves all of it! He’s a f_cking rapist. He R@P£D Samantha, your daughter! My sister!!”
“He never R@P£D anyone! Nicey never R@P£D anyone”
“Gosh,,, who should I believe now? Whom should I give my trust to, now, huh!! By the way, Who’s Nicey? That word sounds familiar” She said.
“I call him Nicey. If you can remember, I once told you about him…”
“Hold on, I kinda remember” Scarlett muttered and memory came back.
MILD FLASHBACK**
BACKWARD TO CHAPTER 7&8**
“I’m off” Scarlett said.
“Hold on!” Marie gushed and ran to her.
“You are looking quite feisty today” Marie said, as she stood opposite Scarlett, dressing her buttons properly and her neck tie.
Scarlett chuckled lightly.
“Be a good girl okay? No bullying. Be good just like Nicey” Marie said.
“Nicey? Who’s Nicey?” Scarlett asked.
“Oh,,, He’s a new friend of mine. I met him at the stall that saturday and he helped a little girl. He’s really kind, good and nice. Since i didn’t get his name, I called him Nicey”
“Oh,,, I see” Scarlett whispered.
“Well, yeah. Have fun in school” She waved.
Scarlett only nodded and ran off.
“She looks quite not herself either. What’s she up to?” Marie thought, suspiciously.
END OF FLASHBACK**
I… don’t understand. Who’s this nicey and what does he have to do with all this??” Scarlett asked.
Marie inhaled deeply.
“Now just listen to my own part. I guess its time for the cat to be out of the bag. Its been years already” Marie said, softly.
Scarlett wiped her tears and sat close to her.
Marie turned her blind eyes to her and opened her mouth. She began to talk as the flashback came flooding back, like it happened just yesterday.
FLAHBACK, THAT SATURDAY**
Marie had gone to the stall that saturday. She happily smiled at the couple who just patronized her corn dog.
“Come next time” She waved at them, and they smiled before leaving.
“Ehhhhhhhh!! Ehhh!!” It was a crying sound, and it was quite loud.
“What’s that?” Marie muttered and walked out of the stall.
She saw a little girl, crying there. About 11 years old.
“Hey, girl. You alright? What’s wrong?” Marie asked, concerned, bending down. written by sommy pearl f.
“Leave me alone” The girl only cried the more.
Marie sighed.
“Talk to me, okay? I won’t hurt you. What’s your name? And why are you here alone, crying? What happened?”
“Leave me alone, ahjumma!!” She shouted, which made Marie shivered.
“Gosh. That was mean” Marie sighed and stood up.
She went back into her stall and heard a cool voice ask;
“Hey, little one? Why are you crying?”
“Another concerned fellow” Marie whispered, with a scoff.
She shook her head out to see a tall guy who happens to be a young adult.
He looks handsome and really young. He seems to be a high schooler, in his final year.
“He’s just wasting his time. He had better leave” Marie muttered, watching them.
