To say Milani was angry when this mysterious “friend” sent those pictures was an understatement. All she saw was red. Her whole room was trashed from her tantrum. “I have to get rid of Kalani and make Marcos mine again.” Milani thought to herself. Suddenly, there was a tap on her door. “Milani?” said Kalani. Milani rolled her eyes and stomped towards the door. “What do YOU want? Oh, wait do you want the knife out of my back you stabbed in there?” She almost screamed. “Are you high?” Kalani asked her little sister. “How was your kiss with Marcos does my lips taste good?” “Oh, are you upset Milani? Remember this feeling because Marcos was mine first and then you snaked in.” Kalani smirked. She was not trying to be evil, but she was happy Milani can now understand how much she hurt Kalani by being with Marcos. “I will get him back, you just wait. GODDDDD why can’t you just come up missing again? No one wants you look not even the kidnapper wanted you.” Milani screamed at her sister. Kalani gasped at that, and tears filled her eyes. “MILANI ANABELLA MARTINEZ. EXCUSE ME?” Screamed their mother. She was beyond livid; she did not raise her children to be like this with anyone but especially with each other. “I am sorry.” Milani mumbled with no sincerity in her voice. “No, you are grounded from your phone, tv everything just stay in your room. I can’t even LOOK at you missy.” Their mother said as she turned to Kalani. “Kalani are you okay mija?” Kalani just shook her head. “I’m going to bed.” She told her mother and went into her room. She started sobbing then she heard her phone ding. “No one loves you, and soon they won’t miss you when we come back for you.” An unknown number texted her. “Who is this?” “Soon you’ll pay for everything you did the lives you ruined.” “Who the f*** is this?!” She asked one more time. “We will meet again maybe you can be reunited with Sir or maybe I’ll keep you to myself this time.” “I’m calling the cops.” “They can’t even help you.” Kalani was terrified at the messages. She knew the person to call. She dialed his number. “Hello.” Said a husky voice. “I’m sorry to wake you Alex, it’s me Kalani. I’m getting scary messages; I need your help.” Alex sat up from his bed. “I’ll be there in 20 minutes.” “NO! It’s late can we go to your house I don’t want my parents to know.” “Okay I will pick you up then.” “Okay I will be outside.” “I don’t think that’s a good idea wait until I tell you I’m outside.” “Okay Alex.” She thought it was sweet how protective he was being of her. They talked on the phone until he was outside her house. She got into his car. “Thank you so much for coming. I’m sorry to drag you out of bed but I don’t trust anyone else.” Kalani said to Alex. “Of course, Kalani you can call me for ANYTHING.” He said. “Now do you want to grab pizza before we get to my house?” “Sure, that’s fine.” Kalani answered. They got to pizza and went to Alex’s house. Alex read through the messages. “Do you have any clue of who this could be?” He asked her. “No, none at all honestly. The fact he mentioned sir is what got me, he is in connection to who kidnapped me.” She said. “The said you will pay for the lives you ruined; what do they mean?” Alex asked. Kalani sighed and said, “I think I know. Earlier I was at my old school seeing about getting my ged or something and I noticed someone wrote on Ashleigh’s memorial: "Kalani is a murderer and deserves to die worse than Ashleigh." “I didn’t murder her but there was secrets only I knew that I’m not sure had a role in her death.” “What secrets?” Alex asked her. “I can’t tell you I would never break a promise to Ashleigh when she made me swear to tell no one, just know not everyone here is who they seem. Ashleigh was going to expose things and I think it caught her up in a dangerous game with a even more dangerous ending.” “You can trust me Kalani.” “Not enough for that; I don’t want to end up like Ashleigh.” They talked for a while more and then Alex took her home. As he pulled up and parked, he turned to her and said, “Call me for anything Kalani I mean anything. Come to the station tomorrow so we can find the sicko who took you.” “What if we can’t find him?” she looked down and asked. Alex grabbed her by her chin softly and made her look into his eyes. “I swear on my life I will find who did this to you and protect you.” They stared into each other’s eyes until they heard a hard pound on the window and seen an angry Marcos who looked like he was ready to murder Alex. Marcos threw open Kalani's door. "Get out of the car Kalani." he said through strained teeth. Kalani bite her lip and said, "I'll talk to you tomorrow Alex. Thanks for listening." Marcos grabbed her arm and led her not towards the door of her house but towards his bmw. "You're coming to my house." He was about to remind her who she belongs to and he has big plans to show that cop too.
