Apocalypse

chapter 5

Martin and I haven't talked from the time he broke my heart over a month ago. Dean his twin brother and I had grown close. He was trying to help me get over Martin but I couldn't. Seeing him at lunch wasn't any better. He sat across from us with his b*tch of a girlfriend. He randomly started at me trying to catch glimpse of what I was doing. Dean had noticed practically everyone noticed expect his dumb girl.

Dean was the total opposite of Martin he, he liked showing off his wealth, changed girls like crazy but he was a nice guy he had the same blue dreamy eyes like Martin,body size and a similar smile to him. Dean whispered something in my ear and I stood up from my seat and went to seat on his lap he started making silly jokes and we all laughed forgetting slightly about the pain I felt. I caught a glimpse of Martin who I swear was fuming with anger. I really didn't care he had caused me much pain. I owed it to myself to smile even though I wanted to run were he was and slap him back to his senses

It was Physical Education time and I had no interest in seeing or begin next to Martin so I decided to go to swim. Before I entered the girls locker room I saw Zoe pull Martin aside for I don't know what.

Zoey's point of view.

I was about enter the girls locker room when I saw Martin. I couldn't resist the edge to pull him aside and talk to him.

"Martin wait?"

He stood when he saw me.

"what's up?"

"what the hell Martin. How could you even think of hurting Annabella like that I thought you liked her for real."

"I do Zoey. You wouldn't understand."He spoke softly in a low tune

By the tone of his voice I knee he was hurting as much as Annabella and didn't like what was happening.

"Then talk to me, make me understand. I know you are hurting,so why?"

"Swear to me you won't tell anyone."

I nodded my head.

He took a deep breath before finally opening up.

"Some few days ago I received a text telling me to stay away from Annabella or she will die. I thought the person was bluffing till he or she sent a picture of him in Annabella's room holding a knife to her throat. I couldn't take it I had to protect her. I know I was a coward and not telling her but I couldn't risk her safety."

"So you decide to end things."

"Yes...seems she has forgotten what we had already. She has moved on with Dean."

"The are just friends. She is hurting badly she saw you and Amber making out and she had a break down. Amber and her puppets didn't make it easy for her she was about to snap."

"She must really hurt me. Please don't tell her."

"I won't. But she has seen us talk what will I tell her?"

"You were asking about our birthday If we would have a big party and everything."

Annabella's point of view

I had sported Zoey and Martin talking for a while. I had drifted my attention away from them and dived in the pool, I went under water for more than 10 minutes and some people thought I might drowning. Next thing I saw Martin diving in the pool to save me, he managed to 'save me' he was holding my waist and well I played dyed, he put me on the edge of pool and he started to give me CPR. I had almost forgot how his lips felt like. I wanted to deepen the kiss or well in my case the mouth to mouth. He was getting worried.

"Damn it Annabella wake up."

I started to show signs of life, just like that he left. Zoey was standing next to me. She gave me a hug when my eyes opened.

"Don't you ever scare us again or sorry I meant me again."

"What happened?" I asked playing dumb.

"You were in the pool for more than 10 minutes and someone dived in to save you.",

Everyone had cleared up and gave me and Zoey room to speak. We headed for the girls locker room.

"You know i wasn't drowning. I can breathe underwater."

"What the f**k Anna. You were pretending all along."

"For Christ sake lower your voice. I wasn't I had no idea you humans could not stay underwater for long. Or I saw you Martin talking. Do you mind sharing?"

"We were talking about his upcoming birthday bash. The always throw some hug party till midnight."

Before I could respond a worried Dean come and throw his arms around me.

"Annabella Cassandra Dark you had me worried sick about you. What happened." He asked as he checked for injuries on my body.

"Dean am fine. I don't know. All i know is one minute I was diving in the pool and the next some one was diving to pull me out."

I lied.

Martin's point of view

I was talking to Zoey as I had noticed that Anna had been in the water for more than 10 minutes. I was worried. I excused myself and dove in the pool to rescue her. If anything happened to her I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I managed to get a hold of her and swam up to the surface I laid her down and gave her mouth to mouth. I missed her soft tender lips. I was trying to fight the edge to deepen the kiss more. When she started showing signs of life i left. I had to I didn't want to risk her safety even though every part of me wanted to stay.

After school I drove directly to Dean's penthouse, I knew he would be their probably with some hoe. I didn't even bother to knock as I also had a key. I started breaking staff while yelling for him to get his ass out and fight me. He finally come out shirtless in grey sweatpants.

"What the hell man."

"I have no problem in you screwing with any other girl but not Annabella she is mine." I punched him in the face.I was like a mad man.

"I'm not screwing with her i***t. I'm trying to help her be happy. I see how she looks at you I know you love her and I respect that but she deserves better."

I knew exactly what he was talking about.

"It's not that easy bro. I love her and if anything happens to her I'll die."

I explained briefly what happened and why I had to call it off. I was about to leave.

"Martin.You owe me money, for what you broke."

I threw a lot of money about half a million dollars and left his house.
