Louisa POV :
'Meet me at the old building on the back'
My heartbeat paced fast when I read the text from Titus.
Oh, God helps me...
I squeal in happiness before jumping off of my bed to find something from my wardrobe. I have to look amazing, this is Titus we're talking about, the most popular and gorgeous man in school, I can't let him down.
The first time I try to text him, it takes 3 days for me to brace my confidence to send it to him.
That's why I am surprised when I received the reply.
I know he's shy, like what he told me in the next text, on our first encounter since his friends were there because of the no girlfriend's rules from them and I understand why he didn't come to meet me there.
But he keeps texting me and our relationship getting closer since then.
I never thought meeting him in the old building is strange because I guess he doesn't want anyone to know about us, yet.
'This relationship is between us, don't let people or anyone in, okay?'
That's what he says and I agree with anything he wants as long he returns my feeling.
Oh God, I have had a crush on him since 7th grade and can't imagine tomorrow I'm going to meet him or even have a relationship with him.
Finally, I found the perfect clothes...
Short jeans skirt with a pink shirt, yes!!
I can't wait!!!
'See you there, Titus!' I reply before sighing loudly and dropping my body on my bed.
When the morning comes, my mother keeps asking why I am so happy today.
I just shrug my shoulder since I can't tell her yet.
So she keep smiling when she put the pancake on my plate.
The class running so slow, I never have hated to come to the class my whole life, but today is different since I'm going to meet Titus during my break time, that's why I feel today is so long that I keep bouncing my feet while counting the time.
RIIIIIINNNGGGGG....!!!!!!
Finally!!!!
I quickly jump on my feet with my backpack to go out of the class.
Quickly I run to the old building.
I know no one ever comes to the place since it turn into an old shed.
My smile gets bigger when I watch it closer.
"Titus!!" I shout-whisper and look around to find him nowhere.
I keep walking and push the door of the old warehouse open.
"Titus? Are you here?"
1 step.... 2 steps... 3 steps...
I know I should feel something isn't right but...
BAM!!!
Gasped, I jump when the door shut closed and leave no lights.
"TITUS!!!" I start screaming and scared.
Oh God, what is happening?!
Click...
Someone turned on the lights and my eyes widened in shock when I see no Titus but three boys standing in front of the door, smiling at me.
"Hello, Rachel" One of them speaks and I know them...
They're Titus friends...
Why are they here?
Hahahahaha...
"What... Where's Titus!" I demand an answer while they keep laughing.
This isn't how it is supposed to be.
I was supposed to meet Titus and have a good time with him.
Not... Not this...
"WHERE TITUS!!" I repeat.
"Oh, Rachel... Rachel... Rachel..." He sighs and shakes his head "Why do you think it's Titus who wrote those texts to you?"
What?!
My eyes bulge in shock from the news I hear.
"He never notices you, well... He never notices any girl actually" He chuckle and take one step closer "Not once did he notice every text so I set it all sent to my number instead of him"
What?
So, that's mean...
"Yes" He nods his head with a big grin like he knows what I am thinking right now "You're talking with me, baby"
I thought this is going to be the best day of my life, turn out it's my nightmare.
I try to scream and trying to find help but it failed.
That's why they choose this place because no one ever come.
No one will come to save me.
No Titus here to meet me...
****
Gasped....
I open my eyes only to get shocked when I meet a pair of eyes staring back at me from above.
I can't move my body...
It's Rachel...
She flew and just stared at me before she finally vanish and I can release a hard breath.
Quickly I get up from my bed before running to the bathroom to throw anything from my stomach.
I vomit until my head spinning in hurt.
"You okay, Lu?" My father speaks and touches my back before he helps me stand up to go back to my bedroom.
Too tired and weak to speak, I just nod my head.
I know now...
That's why Rachel thinks Titus is in love with her...
Oh, God...
They r***d her...
That's why she killed herself after that because she was embarrassed.
She's been humiliating.
-----------------------------------------
"Okay, what's going on, Louisa?!" I look up only to get shocked when I see Titus standing with crossed arms.
It's been five days since the dream and I keep my eyes on the boys, trying to find something.
I follow them like a hawk, pretend to do something to be whenever they are.
I thought no one knows my weirdness, but I guess Titus notice.
"What do you mean?" I try to start reading the book on the table and look away.
I hear him sigh before taking a seat in front of me.
"Lu.." He starts and I know I can't hide it from him anymore.
He must know, but how can I tell him without he's mad?!
I guess I can't hide it from him anymore...
"You promise you won't be mad?" I try to make him make a promise so he won't do anything stupid when he finds out.
He rolled his eyes "Yeah" He said lazily.
"Titus, please" I demand and he meets my gaze before he nods firmly because he realizes that I am serious.
"You scared me, Lu" He murmured with a different tone "Okay, I promise," He said while raising his right hand.
I sighed before the turn to my side to see Rachel sitting there watching him.
She turns her gaze to me and nods.
"A week ago a had an accident, remember when I'm going to the Burger and Grill?" I start and watch him nod.
"I told you that you supposedly call me" He complain and I give him a small smile in gratitude.
"The truth is I.." I paused because I know this is going to be bad, I don't know how he will react "Rachel is on the road, stopping me" I stop and let him absorb it.
......
"Rachel?" He finally asked and I nod.
"Titus, I know why Rachel thought you were in love with her," I told everything about the dream, no, it is memories from Rachel coming in my dream to him who widened his eyes while keeping silent.
I watch how he looks mad after he finds out the truth about it.
About his former friends who betray him in the worst way.
Yes, the three boys are Paul, Darren, and Eric.
