"Pumpkin" her dad smiled hugging."You're back already" her mum said coming out from the kitchen."What's wrong? Why did you have to go him? Why weren't you picking my calls?" She asked."Woah easy" her dad laughed, "I was too occupied and my phone was on silent" he explained."We had to go out for something that's why I rushed over" her mum explained."You know you could have replied my text than keeping me worried" Cheryl pouted."I'm so sorry baby" her mum pouted too and they laughed."So you're dad got ice cream for movie night, he wasn't able to get the permit" Mrs Roberts explained and her husband nodded in affirmation."It's fine, I couldn't even eat at my dinner" Cheryl scoffed."I thought so too, so I made dinner" her mum said while her dad left for his room to return the documents he was working on."You're the best" she said and headed to the dinning."Won't you at least change" her mum laughed."I just might faint on the stairs" she whined.Kyle's POV::
I managed to get myself home somehow and I locked myself up in my room, why should this be happening to me, was I a sinner in my past life? Or a murderer? I kept asking myself. Family issues indeed! Was this why she didn't show up for a year? And she was so free around me, who wouldn't be scared of being friends with a cop? I kept trying so hard to take the image off my head. How could she be killing with so much ease? She looks gentle, no, she is gentle. What exactly is going on? I didn't even have the strength to cry no more, I just stared blankly at the darkness that engulfed my room."Kyle please open up, I know you don't wanna see me" Karina said softly from outside."Please just...." I cut her off as I drew her into a hug. I didn't even know when I walked to the door but at that moment I needed some comfort."Is gonna be fine" she muttered patting my back, "I don't know what's wrong but it's gonna be fine" she kept soothing with her words."Just sleep beside me" I said."Bunny" she blushed, "I will" she said.THE NEXT DAY...CHERYL'S POV
Movie night wasn't so bad and dad had left for work already, mom left to the boutique already, though she'd be back soon so I decided to step out for some air too, I had texted Kyle to apologise for last night but he wouldn't reply and I felt sad.I was taking a walk down the street when someone grabbed by neck nearly choking me to death, looking at her face it was the psycho."What the fuck" I gasped trying to release myself."You... How dare you" she glared daggers at me."Psycho.... Let... Me... Go" I gasped for air and her eyes widened as she let go off me staring at me for a while before rushing off.I choked for a while trying to catch my breathe, "what's wrong with this city" I scoffed and looked across the road to see Kyle walking out of a mall, I smiled wanting to cross over to him but a beautiful girl came out and pecked him as he smiled while they walked to a car and drove off. I could feel my heart shatter into a thousand pieces as I gathered myself and walked back home.I met mom in the kitchen and decided to join her to at least take my mind off what I saw."Hey Mom" I greeted."You're back" she said."Help me chop those" she instructed."Sure" I replied and picked up the knife to chop the onions, but couldn't help pouring my anger and frustrations on it."Cherish should have just stayed" I muttered while chopping."I wouldn't have bothered making friends, neither would I have ran into that psycho cause they'd be no need to step out, maybe I wouldn't like Kyle this much, I mean he's older, I dont expect him to like me back, he's a cop too, it's obvious he'd have a girlfriend, did they have to display it openly" I scoffed."CHERYL!!!" my mom yelled and cut my wrist in the process."Ouchhhh" I winced in pain.

JUDGE:: Based on considerations, I hereby sentence the defendant to ten years imprisonment. This sentence reflects the gravity of offense committed and harm caused to victims and their families. ***The court session was over and Sawyer was led out. The rest of her accomplices were caught and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment including Randy but Laurel was sentenced to life improvement without the possibility of parole.The reporters were scattered outside as they led Sawyer to the van in cuffs. A tear slipped from Karina's eye as she watched her mom being taken away on TV. She hadn't gone for the court session, she stayed at the hospital with her dad. Kyle didn't attend either, but Kylan did. Karina jerked when she heard struggles, she turned to her father to see him struggling for his life, she dashed out to get the doctor but it was late, the old man had given up the ghost after seeing his wife on TV.Her tears could fill an ocean if they let her, the

The police had surrounded their residence the following morning and Sawyer was ready. She felt bitter at how things had turned out but not regretful, if she was given a chance to go back in time, she would have done exactly the same thing.Kylan had left earlier for work, he knew he wouldn't be able to concentrate but he couldn't stay and watch his mom being carried away. Karina on the other hand wouldn't stop crying, she hated the woman in front of her right now, but she still remains her mom, and she loves her mom dearly. Kyle had turned laurel in earlier that morning, along with the documents his mom showed him. He remained at Spencer's house, he can't watch his own mom being cuffed and taken out, then there's Cheryl."I would just stay here till my end comes" he had said to Spencer the night before.Mr Newton couldn't understand a thing that was being said, he didn't even hear it, all his focus was on Sawyer who couldn't look him in the eye."Honey" he would mutter every three sec

"shit!!"..."Spencer?!!" Cheryl called "Spence!""Uhh, Cheryl, yeah, can I get back to you, I'll find him" Spencer chuckled"Where is he?!" She yelled and he swallowed nothing."Where are you?" She asked."Somewhere?" His throat went dry."Address?""The bar by the bridge?""You guys drinking?!" She yelled"Don't move I'm coming!!" She yelled and ended the call."I'm dead" he cussed as he held the steering wheel tightly.In a few minutes, she showed up.."Where's he?" She asked."Get in, I'd explain on the way" he said and she got in, in confusion though."Okay, so he called me to meet up and before I could get here, I met him with...you" he dropped the bomb but her brain couldn't seem to process what he just said."And I'm surprised you just called me that you're not with him when you just drove off with...""You left him with laurel!!!!" She suddenly grabbed his hair."Ahhhh!!! Cheryl!!" He cried and she released him"I'm driving and I'm sorry, I didn't look well, we'll find him" h

Cheryl knew better than to be out at night, as it stands, her face was known to all citizens of Los Angeles. Laurel needed to go, Cheryl needed her freedom."Riley?" Cheryl called"Hmm""Should I leave?" She asked"Sorry what?""Maybe I should leave and come back when all of this is over" Cheryl muttered and Riley stared t her. It wasn't a bad idea now she thinks of it. Cheryl needed that break, not just Cheryl, all of them. She had just lost her twin and has been to prison already for some psycho who has her face, she needed that break, the whole family did."Now I think of it, it's not so bad" Riley smiled.She hasn't left their house since Cheryl returned, they've practically turned sisters."Y'all should go" she said."We all?""Yeah.. y'all...you, mom, dad.. all of you" Riley shrugged"All this would be over, I trust Kyle""I don't think dad would want to leave" Cheryl muttered."Well tell him you want to, if he won't, you should leave either ways" Riley stated."We can talk to K

Two days later...."Are you nervous?" Karina asked squeezing her palm"Not really" Cheryl breathed"More like curious... To know what's on the inside" she smiled, "you have a beautiful home" she complimented"Liar" Karina muttered and they laughed before stepping in."Welcome ma'am" the maids kept greeting"As expected" Cheryl smiled taking the beauty in as she stared around"More like searching for my brother's room" Karina teased"Fuck you" Cheryl chuckled and they laughed."To my room then" Karina giggled as she dragged her upstairs."Wow" cheryl gasped as they stepped in. It's in all white and pretty twice her own bedroom."You like?""Love... It's beautiful" she said walking to her closet"Mind if I do?" She asked and Karina nodded before she tore the door open"I could literally live in your closet" she gasped as they entered."I see you love collecting bags" she said and Karina laughed"Not my fault" Karina smiled"It's really nice""I know" Karina rolled her eyes"Fool" Cheryl

"Randy" Riley smiled as he approached her with a smirk playing on his lips"Little Miss Runner" he teased and she smiled trying to hide her fear."What brings you here?" She asked"Followed you" he shrugged"Followed me?""Yeah""How exactly do you know I'm here?""That's my problem, not yours" he smiled and took a step closer."Is something wrong?" She chuckled"You can sense it too?" He asked and she gulped trying to maintain her balance as her legs shook"I guess the full name's Riley" he smiled and that only worsened her situation"I see you did a background check" she smiled"You really don't have a family so that ain't completely background" he laughed and she felt the rage growing inside"You sure are interesting, I love your moves" he smiled still taking a step closer until their lips were inches away from each other and then God smiled at her as her phone rang.She blinked as he moved back abit and she picked her call"Just know you're buying me lunch" Kyle said and she smil
