She walked quickly in fear but people weren't there as no one uses that alley at night.
Peter….Elle, its me.
She stopped on hearing a familiar voice and turned only to see Peter.
Elle….Peter? Gosh, you scared me, why would you sneak up on me like that?
Peter….You said you were friends with that guy, do friends kiss nowadays?
Elle….What? You followed me?
Peter….I did and am not happy, you didnt even invite me to your birthday party, that pissed me off too.
Elle….Whats done is done, why are you even here?
Peter….Like you said, i followed you.
Elle….You know what? You starting to scare me, go your way and i will go mine.
Peter….I dont like that dude, he made you cry so i have to rescue you from this pain.
Elle….Shut the hell up, you know nothing so mind your business you creepy lurker.
She started walking away from and her phone rung, it gave her a jumpscare but she answered it, it was Roman.
Roman….Elle, where are you? You left earlier but your not at home.
Elle….Am coming.
Roman….Is it because of the kiss? Anyways, tell me where you are, i will come pick you up so that we talk properly.
Elle felt Peter's foot steps getting closer, he was still following her, she hurried her pace but he did too, she got more scared.
Roman….Elle?
Elle….Roman, i meant what i said, i do like you and i dont give a fuck, okay? Thats my problem not yours.
Roman….Its my problem too Elle, am coming to pick you up cause we need a serious talk.
Elle panicked and knew that Peter was about to do something not good to her so she said what she wanted to say to Roman.
Elle….Roman, its Peter, call the police….call the police Roman, am scared.
Roman….WHATTT??? Where are you exactly?
Elle….Am at this dark alley that heads to the bea….
Before she finished talking, Peter caught up to her and hit her with a dry wood on her head, she fainted right away with her head bleeding.
Roman….ELLE??? ARE YOU THERE????
Peter got a stone and broke Elle's phone and after carried her to his car and drove away.Roman knew the alley she was talking about so he drove heading there, on his way, he called the police.
When arrived, he called Elle while looking around with a flashlight on his phone, he saw Elle's broken phone and picked it up.Right then, the police arrived and he told him what elle told him on the phone, they searched the place but got only her phone and her one shoe.
Selli, Nara, Axel and Zara all rushed to the police station after getting Roman's call.Selli started crying, they police ran a background check on Peter and found out that he has a criminal record for sexual assault.
Selli….What??? This is my fault, I…i…paid him to teach my daughter without making research of who he is.Fuck me…officer, please bring my daughter back alive, I dont….dont…know what am gonna do if…something bad…
Axel….Mum, nothing bad is gonna happen to her so please calm down.
Selli….I cant….I wanna see her now.
Nara….She's gonna be found Selli, but its dark now.
Officer….Its fine, we are gonna search the area until we find her so rest assured.
Axel….Am coming too.
Zara….Axel!
Selli….Your staying here with me, what if his targeting all of us? I need you insight, your going now where.
Roman….She's right, i will go with the search team.
Nara….Are you a policeman now? No one is going anywhere, we stay here until Elle is found.
Roman….Am going mum.
Nara….Come back here Roman! That stubborn boy, ugh.
Roman insisted on going with the police to look for Elle.Peter took Elle in the woods and tied her on a chair.When she gained consciousness, Peter was standing in the doorway.
Elle….Where…am I?
Peter….At home where you belong.
Elle….HELP MEEE….HELPPPPP….
Peter….Dont bother, we are in the middle of the woods so no one is gonna come to rescue you, not even that annoying guy.
Elle….Why are…you doing this?
Peter….The obvious, I love you Elle.I couldn't let you ruin your beauty with that asshole who doesnt deserve you.
Elle….I shouldve known earlier that your a psycho.
Peter….Well, I know.
Elle….I promise…if you let me go, I will say no word about this, you will walk free.
Peter….Is that a threat? Are you now a detective? Cute, I like it anyways.
No matter how much she screamed, it was pointless until Peter put a cloth in her mouth to stop her from screaming.In the morning, she was hungry and thirsty, he took out the cloth from her mouth.
Elle….Please….I need water….am thirsty…
Peter….I cant feed you anything yet, what if your planning to escape.
Elle….I cant…you tied me up….please….
Peter….Not now, let me think about it.
He put back the cloth in her mouth.It was already two days and her body was white and pale, she lost some weight too.The police searched but failed to trace Peter.
Roman….Am now scared that she might….
Officer….Dont say that.We are only left with the woods to search, but if shes not there, then it will only mean that he feld the country.
Roman….Fuck! Her mum will lose her mind over this, so will I.
They started searching the woods and it took them two more days since the forest was huge, but at last they saw the house where Peter locked Elle who had passed out from hunger.Peter was out to bring food.The police searched the place until theu found Elle unconscious in the basement.
Roman untied her and carried outside, only to see Peter coming back.When he saw them, he ran and they chased him until Roman caught him, he started punching him and broke his nose, the cops stopped him and cuffed Peter.
Elle was rushed to the hospital but she was skinny, they put her on oxygen but Selli and Axel couldn't stop crying.They waited for days for her to open her eyes but she didnt.Nadia also came to visit.
Nadia….Am sorry guys, I was out of town and am I feel bad for Elle that she faced that trauma.
Selli….Am sure she will be happy if she wakes up and sees you.
Zara….Am starving Axel.
Nadia….Since I just arrived, how about you guys go eat something as I look after Elle, I missed, you know.
Selli….Always a sweetheart, thanks Nadia.We will bring some food for you too, what would you like to eat?
Nadia….No, am good but thanks.
They all left to a near by restaurant to eat something.Nadia went inside tried switching off the oxygen machine, but she heard footsteps coming and stopped, it was Roman.
Roman….Nadia? Where have you been this whole time?
Nadia….Hi Roman, i was out of town but am back.
Roman….Okay…okay, thats God, I guess.
Nadia….The others went to eat lunch so I stayed.
Elle….Nah…nadia…..
Elle opened her eyes and saw them but she was weak, they all rushed to her.
Roman….Elle, your awake, this is good news.
Nadia….Finally! You mad us all worry.
Elle….Where is my…mum and…axel?
Nadia….Let go and call them, be right back.
Nadia went outside the hospital with rage in her eyes.
Nadia….(Argh! I wanted her to die, now shes back after all this, everyone is gonna love her more, theyre gonna throw her a party at campus too.You shouldve died Elle, i hate being under you like a fucking dog, but it wont be sunshine all the time, I promise you that).
Nadia lied about being out of town, she was around the whole time and didnt care what happened to Elle at all, she was still jealous of her and hated it that she was receiving much love from everyone.
Roman sat on the bed and held Elle's hand, he started crying.
Elle….Hey, look, am fine, okay?
Roman….This is embarrassing, am sorry.I never shouldve let you walk home alone, all this is partly my fault.
Elle….Dont sya that…please….
Selli….Elle my baby!
They all came back and cried seeing her back to life, she cried too.Selli cooked for her all her favourite food to eat since she was now slimmer.Students from her universals came to see her, Nadia was around but she was burning inside of jealous.
She spent a week in the hospital and learnt to walk again since her legs were paralysed.After, she was discharged as went back home but she didnt want anything to do with fashion anymore, Peter killed her spirit yet she looked up to him as a mentor.
She decided to even change her course to law.Her first day at campus after the incident, she was welcomed and they threw for her a party later that night, everyone was there having good.Axel was with Zara not letting eachother go.
As for Elle, she was sitting outside alone at the poolside, Roman saw her and went and joined her.
Roman….Hi there! Your now a celebrity, huh? Can I get your autograph?
Elle….Hahaha, cut it out Roman.
Roman….But honestly, am glad to see you receiving this love from everyone, you deserve it cause your not only pretty, but also kind and sweet.
Elle….Um..than…thanks.
Roman….Do you ever wonder what I wanted to tell you that day?
Elle….I know already, but its all good, we still friends, right?
Roman….No, i dont think so, your confession everything between us, Elle.
Elle….Am…am sorry….I didnt mean it that way….fuck!
She wanted to cry but stopped herself, she grabbed her drink and stood up.
Elle….How about this, we introduce ourselves again and start afresh, what do you say?
Roman….Hahahaha, your cute Elle, like really cute.
He stood up too, without allowing her to utter any word, he kissed her lips softly, her eyes widen as she didnt expect the kiss, he stopped and looked in her eyes as she looked down and touched her lips.
Elle….So..why…what…I mean…how…
Roman….I like you too, Elle.Thats my answer, sorry I hesitated to say it that night.
Elle….You…like me too? Is this…for real?
Roman….Am serious Elle, lets get to know eachother better.
With all this happening, Nadia was watching with her knuckles folded in anger.She left the party earlier and went home.
Nadia….She has everyone's attention and on top of that, she got Roman too? Why is it always her and not me? She's sucking all my luck away and I can't sit back like a loser, I must do something.
She got her phone and went on Instagram, she looked into Roman's posts and the old ones, until she saw photos of a Russian girl who is Roman's ex and he tagged her in every post he posted her.Nadia rushed to her account.
Nadia….This is interesting, Roman sure does have a type.Her name is Pricka? Sounds like someone who doesn't play and she's prettier than Elle, now lets make this new relationship a bit fun.
She sent Pricka dm's but never got a reply.As for Elle, she was over the moon that she finally got to date Roman, the guy shes been crushing over for months now.She called Nadia and told her everything and she pretended to be happy for her and even went to her house to see her.
They dated for a week and then told their families about their relationship, they were happy for them.
Zara….Never been happier, how about we go on a double date someday?
Axel….I'd love that, what do you say guys?
Elle….Hell ya.
Roman….If you say so, lets do it on the weekend.
Zara….Its a done deal then.
At campus, they were together most of the time and she spent little time with Nadia but made sure to talk to her everyday.
Nadia….Happiness looks good on you.
Elle….Thanks love, I wish you also get a hot guy like Roman.
Nadia….I will someday.But, do you trust him?
Elle….I do, why?
Nadia….I mean, his rich and sexy, such guys t3nd to be players.
Elle….I dont think so, its already two months now, if it were the case then I would've caught him already but his faithful.
Nadia….If you say so.
Elle….Thanks bestie for looking out for me.
Nadia….Anytime boo.
As they were still talking, Nadia got a text and opened her phone to check, it was Pricka, she smiled.
Elle….Is that a guy?
Nadia….No, its a friend.
Elle….Oh?
Nadia….Anyways I gotta run, later boo.
Elle….Okay, i will text you later.
Nadia….Sure.
