My Second Chance

Chapter 28: #28 Invisible Person

Sapphire's P.O.V

"Who's there?" I called out, in a defensive stance. Nobody answered and the kitchen remained empty and quiet. Must be my imagination, I shrugged. No, I'm hell sure someone was behind us, Drew growled. I felt it too, Gwen frowned. Nah, people don't disappear into thin air, it's just our imagination, I convinced them. Yeah, this must be it, Gwen said sighing in relieve. Guys, we caught another scent, and we both know that it doesn't belong to a werewolf, Drew argued. Enough, it was nothing. There should be a scientific explanation for it if it's real, I argued back. I felt a nagging feeling and knew that I was just trying to turn from the truth. I was sure there was someone. There isn't any for werewolves or demons, Drew snorted. But- That's when I felt my words clog in my throat.

If I don't want to keep torturing myself, I would find some release. If I use drinking and drugs as a release, I'll get in trouble with the law. If I get trouble with the law, I would give up on life. If I give up on life, I would do something stupid like jumping down from a building.

eyes at me and a low low growl escaped his throat. I widened my eyes. "No no. It came out wrong. It's just... its just something I can deal alone." I explained hastily. "Stop lying Sapph. A blind man could see that something is bugging you. And by the way, sharing is caring." Clover tsked, walking into the kitchen. "Not this situation.
