A Girl’s Diary

Chapter 39 - The Second Big Bang

One fact everyone should know.

The most dangerous formula in the universe.

Aurora + emergency + come fast = big crisis

Nothing to joke about here. I nearly went out of the house in a towel forgetting about everything to get

to Aurora. Thank God Tommy was there to prevent this!

It was as if the third world war was about to erupt!

While I was putting on decent clothes, Tommy ordered an uber for us.

He decided to ditch school to come with me. For some mysterious reason, Tommy's car tires were all

flat. It was as if the whole planet was going into panic mode.

When we reached the company, I headed straight to Aurora's office. Knocking was never one of the

things I did and I wasn't about to start now. So, I crached into her office swinging the door wide open

and rushing inside.

"I'm here! What's happening?" I said breathing hard. Dammit! I should have taken the elevator instead

of running the whole 16 floors on the stairs. "Did somebody die?" I asked. This was the worst case

scenario I could come up with for an emergency!

"No, no one died." She said slowly getting out of her chair and closing the door behind Tommy. "Look at

this," she handed me a piece of paper.

I unfolded it slowly. It was a note written in the same style of the ones I found before.

The letters got blurry. "Where did you find this?" I asked lowly. Barely able to control my tears of panic.

Touch what's mine and face the consequences

You're doomed so don't make it worse

I could only think of that accident! Who else would write this?

"It was in your studio," She said cutting me out of the horrible thoughts. "Maybe we should increase

security around you."

"This would just reveal her." Tommy stated. "She's still Cinnamon!"

"It doesn't matter, Tommy." I said dryly. "Who would believe that Cinnamon is me?" I laughed with no

humour.

"Well, Ron thought you were better." Aurora said.

I laughed even harder. "He was using me." I sat down. "To get his fiance jealous or whatever." I

shrugged.

I was feeling my walls rebuilding. Making me even more empty from the inside. Like a beautiful empty

jewellery box!

A memory played in my head taking me back...

The smoke from his cigarette was making my lungs burn. It was the only thing I smelled for days. I took

the opportunity of him not focusing on us ignoring the pain in my leg.

Tommy and I were both tied to chairs. Our backs against each other. I had to get us out of here. And I

knew Tommy was too weak to help. He was always drugged meaning always unconscious.

I kept pulling my hands apart. Even though I could feel blood trickling down my hands, I pulled even

harder. I had to get us out.

I was almost free but then he saw me...

He stalked around me like a lion to his prey. When he saw the horror he was looking for, he pulled my

chin, sending panic through my body. I was holding my tears back.

"Stupid bitch," he laughed darkly discarding his knife on the ground and shifting his hand into fist. I

reacted fast kicking him in the balls... hard!

Making my chair flip at the force, I rolled over. Like a boss! And started searching for a door. I ran over

to it when I saw it, trying to open it but to no avail. The man was just behind me, I could feel it.

C'mon c'mon c'mon!

Why wasn't it opening? He pulled at my hair, making me scream in pain. But then he suddenly released

and fell to the ground with a loud thump! Huh?

"You weren't about to leave me behind, were you?" Tom said weakly. I would never! I hugged him

tightly. He was okay! I let my tears fall.

I looked at the man, Tommy hit him on the back of his head with an iron rod. I almost smiled but then

winced in pain with all the cuts on my face.

We searched the man for his keys and got out of there. There were a couple of people guarding but we

dodged every single one. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Finally free.

We ran and ran despite the our state. Until finally we saw a car. A police patrol car.

I sucked in a deep breath returning to reality.

"Elena," Tommy said softly touching my shoulder. I gave him a convincing smile.

"I'm fine."

He sighed. "Maybe you should take a break."

"I said I'm fine." I rolled my eyes.

"No, you're not." Aurora said strongly. "We don't know what this is about and to add to it, you're hurt."

She said in a softer voice. No, don't you dare pity me! "Just take the time to yourself."

"Okay!" I smiled though I felt like hiding in a shell.

I was about to get up and leave when August came in rushing.

"Paparazzi are surrounding the building!" He said.

"But why?" Tommy asked.

"They know Cinnamon is here the real girl I mean," he tried to explain. "In other words, Elena. But they

dont know it's Elena."

"Again, it doesn't matter. No one would imagine that a loser like me is Cinnamon." I shrugged.

"Problem solved."

"Stop that," Aurora said. Her voice getting irritated.

"We can tell them that we're actually here for me," Tommy suggested.

"Go on," Ollie replied.

"I mean I'm Cody Baker's son. We can use that," He elaborated. "Tell the Paparazzi your agency was

interested in me."

"Good idea but they're looking for a girl not you, so how will you explain it for Elena," Aurora asked.

He smirked. "She's my girlfriend."

"That's actually smart," Ollie said. "And convincing!"

We went with that. The Paparazzi kept asking for more details but we just got out. They didn't try to

follow us since they were waiting for Cinnamon!

"Are you really okay?" Tommy asked.

"No," I replied.

"We'll get over this. Together. Just like how we did it before." He smiled warmly.

I sighed. I could do this!

Everything after was fast forwarded. Us craching into a black van. Being pulled into another one. I was

barely conscious...

I felt the pain but I couldn't see the source. What was happening? My mind was going numb until

everything just went black...
