Chapter 1

Amara's Point Of View,

"Hey, do you think that the moon is looking extra pretty today", I asked Sam as he kept looking into my eyes.

I snapped my fingers in front of his eyes as he blinked his eyes.

"I do not think that I have seen anything prettier than your eyes", Sam said and I felt my cheeks burn up as I was feeling so damn shy. He does not miss one single chance of flirting with me.

"Come on Sam, that was way cheesy". I teased him and he just held my hand and pulled me close.

"Amara, why do you always ignore my intentions? Why do you act like you know nothing about my feelings? Why the hell do you have to act dumb"? I got scared for a second by his actions.

I have known Sam since high school. He is a nice guy and very close to me. I also know that he likes me since high school and since last year he has been acting weird.

It is so hard to tell him that I am not the right girl for him. He is a very humble and kind-hearted guy and he deserves better than me.

I took a sip from the glass. The wine was great and it was even too good when we drank it under the shadow of the moon. I am scared at this moment that I am gonna hurt his feelings. But he is right. I can not pretend to be dumb anymore. I just have to face it now.

"Amm Sam, I think you are drunk and you should go home", I said. I thought we were cool. We are best friends for years and he will get over it. I thought he also do not want to ruin our friendship but I am so fckng wrong.

"Oh come on Amara, you still do not want to face it. You know so well that I am fckng in love with you but you just had to act dumb", he yelled at me and I just closed my eyes to calm myself.

I thought it was cool that two best friends could drink. I thought it was not a big deal that he was at my place but I am so fckng wrong again and again.

It is not like I do not like him. He is smart, handsome, tall, rich, cute, loyal, caring and everything a girl wishes for but I am not a clean person.

I have done some things which I regret and I will regret them till my last breath and that is why he can not be with me. He needs to get over me.

I know it is my mistake. Maybe I have given him some wrong hints. I should not have been with him all these years in the first place when I knew how he felt about me.

I acted like a selfish person. I needed a friend at that time and I just could not let him go. Gosh, just do not know what the hell I should do now.

"Sam, please. This is not the right time for this. You are drunk and you should go home", I started dragging him out. He lives not so far from here.

"I am not going anywhere". He pulled me close and cupped my face. I could literally see the pain in his eyes. I hate myself for being so selfish and hurting his feeling when he deserves the universe but I am scared that my past sins could be dangerous for him. So I just have to push him away.

"Sam, you are a wonderful person. And honestly I like you too but you have to understand that I can not be with you". I tried to push him away but he did not let me.

"I do not want to understand anything Amara. I fckng love you and I want you". He tried to kiss me. It was the very first time that I was scared of Sam. I thought he would never do anything to hurt me. I do not blame him either but it was something hard to tolerate.

Before I could take any action I heard a gunshot nearby. Sam and I, both were so shocked. Sam instantly held my hand and dragged me inside.

I was too shocked to react and so was Sam. We stayed silent for some time. I was angry with Sam for what he did just now. Everything was quiet again.

I peeped out from the window and luckily there was no one. "I think you should go home now", I said to him. He looked guilty but right now I do not want

to hear anything. He walked out of my house and I closed the door.

I felt like crying. Just could not understand what had gotten into him all of a sudden. He never acted like this before. Seems like it is hard for him to act like my friend anymore. I just took a deep breath and that is when I heard a knock on my door.

"God, what the hell he want now". I was now feeling annoyed by him because of what he did but when I opened the door, there was no one.

I was already scared by the gunshot and now I am feeling something is wrong. I looked here and there but there was no one. Just then I looked down and my eyes got wide to see a hard board. Something was written on it.

"Stay the fuck*ng away from him".
