ANN POV
I arrived at the church earlier in order not to miss Silver’s wedding. I felt jealous and happy for her when I saw Silver in her magnificent wedding dress, standing on the altar holding hands with Dante. Fresh tears streamed down from my eyes when I heard the priest say,”You may kiss your bride”. I watched as the two couples leaned in together for a deep kiss and immediately the whole crowd began slapping and screaming. Beautiful flowers were thrown in the air as Dante held Silver by hand and gently pulled her with him out of the church. I stood up and followed them from behind with everyone trailing behind me.
They smiled sweetly to the camera flashing from different directions. Silver dragged me to join them in a family picture before she threw the wedding flower. I didn’t bother to pick because I knew my whole life, I am going to become single.
Soon a black limousine appeared in front of them and the two couples waved their last goodbyes before they entered the car and zoomed off for their honeymoon. I cried watching my best friend leaving with her husband. Silver married her one night stand partner and me?. I left the church without bothering to stay back with the family to celebrate because I was feeling nauseous. Immediately the car stopped, I paid him off and alighted from the car before striding into my house.
“Welcome back to loneliness”. I sighed as I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom. I stayed there, under the shower for a long time trying to cool my head until I heard a knock on her door. I quickly wore a robe and tied it before stepping out of the bathroom. I walked to the door and opened it, but there was no one there. Just as I was about to go inside my room, a huge hand clamped my mouth and nose from behind. I felt so scared and screamed into the hand holding me then tried to run but my arms were pinned behind my back. I struggled, unable to breath while my screams came out as a muffle. The door was shut and I was gestured towards the bed.
“Shut up Ann, it’s me”. He then turned me around and pushed me down to the bed. “Lorenzo”. Lorenzo added and my eyes widened, what is he doing here?.
“What?, how did you find me?”. I asked, feeling my breath quickening its pace as I was so scared to see him alone with me.
“I followed you, from the church”. He responded. “I miss you so much Ann”. Lorenzo said and leaned his face down to kiss me but I slapped his face away and slid out from his trap on the bed.
I rearranged my robe to avoid it from dropping down from my chest. “What the fuck are you doing here?”. I asked, wondering how he had escaped from jail. “You are supposed to be in jail”, I yelled.
“Yes I know Ann”. He turned to look at me. “But I am here now”. Lorenzo stated obviously.
“How…how”. I stuttered before he snapped in.
“I want you back”, Lorenzo said and I took a step back away from him.
“You monster, get the fuck out of my house before i call the police!!!”
“Ann look i can explain”
“Explain what huh?”. I chuckled. “Go ahead and explain how you sold me while I call the police”. I said and walked to the vanity table to get my phone.
“They are in jail now, see”. Lorenzo said and showed me a pic of the two men that raped me in a jail uniform. “I had to set them up for the police to caught them. They are in jail now”
“It still doesn’t change anything”. I said, dialing the cops number on my phone but Lorenzo yanked the phone off my hand. “Give it back”. I tried to reach for my phone but he lifted his hand a little higher. I pushed him against his chest and raced to the door but he caught me by the arm then pulled me back.
“They threatened to kill me if I didn’t offer you to them that night and i had no choice”
“You always had no choice, let me go”. I demanded as I struggled to pull my arm out from his grip.
“I want you back Ann”
“Well I don’t”. I successfully jerked her arm away from his grip as he stayed silent. “I don’t care if my rapist is in jail but I don’t love you anymore and I will never forgive you for what you did to me”, I turned to the door but stopped when I felt a gun pointed at the back of my head.
“If i can’t have you, then no one else can ”. Lorenzo said.
Tears dropped down from my eyes. I see no point in living anyways, “Shoot me then”. I said and immediately, he pulled the trigger and I blacked out.
AUTHOR’S POV
Ann’s cold bloody body laid down on the floor, pooled on her own blood. He locked the house before he grabbed her legs and pulled her body to the bathroom then hid her in the bathtub. He came out of the bathroom and locked the door. He took out Ann’s phone and typed a message, “Sorry Silver but I will be gone for a while. Please don’t bother to call me as I will be so busy. I will call you whenever I’m back. Bye”. He sent the message then placed the gun by the side of his head and shot himself to death.
THE END…….
