AMY WALKER:
I was awakened up by the morning rays seeping through the glass window of my room falling directly over to my eyes making them burn.
I pulled myself up kicking the blanket over, got freshened up, did my morning buisness and changed into the dress I was going to wear today in college.
I looked beautiful as usual.
I climbed down the stairs and like every morning was welcomed by my father cooking in the kitchen for me.
I hate him so much.
You ask why?
Because I know what kind of a filthy man he is.
He has joined the mafia seven years ago which killed my mom.
Ever since my mom died he has been taking care of me in every way possible.
He would cook for me, do the dishes, clean the whole house.. I never helped him in any of these works, because I blame him for my mom's death.
If only he had not joined mafia back then, my mom would have been alive but he never complained.
"Come on Amy, your breakfast is ready, your favorite, scrambled eggs and toast. Eat them up before they get cold" He said and I walked over to the kitchen hearing him calling me for the breakfast.
I noticed nail scratch marks over his neck area and I knew what he did.
"I don't want to eat whatever you cook!" I said turning back to leave.
He walked upto me and held my hand from behind to stop me from leaving.
"Amy, what's wrong?" He asked.
I can't believe this man. Does he think I don't know anything.. Or he expect me to avoid every fcking details and pretend to be his happy daughter blessed with an ideal father?
"What's wrong you ask?" I stood and crossed my arms looking at him seriously now.
"Where were you last night?" I asked.
I know he had forced a woman once again or maybe killed a woman brutally..
Why does he do that?
Why is it so important for him to remain inside the mafia and commit these crimes?
Why can't he leave everything and think about me... His ONLY daughter??!
"I was at the bar!" He replied avoiding looking into my eyes.
"Doing what?" I demanded again.
"You don't need to know!" He said strictly glaring back into my eyes.
"Dad! I know what you must have done last night! You are my only family, and I am living under your parenting that is why I neither can report you nor can I leave you, but the days you are going to commit a crime.. I am not gonna look or talk to you, neither am I going to eat all the stupid stuff you cook for me!" I said and stormed off the door leaving him standing there.
I was fuming with rage.
Why does he not stop?!
I know since my mom died he had kept me safe and protected. He does all the housework so I don't have to work hard, he buys me everything I want without even making me to ask him to buy for me..
He is a good father..
But a good man?!
Isn't he supposed to be that too?

EDWARD JOHNSON:
Stella had told me that she would go to a friend's after bar for a sleep over party so, I wasn't really worried about her as I thought she was safe with her friend she is at.
She didn't call me because I cannot afford a personal phone for her too.
Today, I got up at dawn and headed for my first job in the day that is, 'newspaper vending'.
That also did go as my workout sessions.
After the vending I headed home, took a shower made myself some Cornflakes and milkshake, eating them I headed for my college after locking the door and hiding the keys in the bushes.
Soon I reached the college and at the gate I spotted her.
Amy Walker.
She is the most beautiful girl of our college.
I still remember the moment I bumped into her and the way she kindly gathered up my stuff for me from the ground and handed to me with her enchanting smile..
I was mesmerised with her from that very moment.
But Amy Walker is way out of my League.
She is beautiful and RICH.. whereas I, am just an orphan who has to go through multiple minor jobs to keep affording mine and Stella's tuition fee, house rent, electricity, water, food and other bills, a princess like Amy would not have even heard of.
Besides, she already has a boyfriend..
Chris Donaldo.
Amy was alone when I spotted her..
Sitting inside our open air cafeteria using her phone wearing a white dress...
She was beautiful.
To add upto it, Chris came in behind her and screamed in a loud voice suddenly bringing his face in the crook of her neck.
"Bhhoww!"
She acted scared and she looked around spotting Chris smirking at her on his little victory of being able to scare her suddenly.
She punched on his chest a few times playfully pouting at what he did suddenly scared her so much and he tilted her chin upwards to kiss her.
She didn't resist him and kissed him back wrapping her arms around his neck.
If only I could be the Chris of her life..
but I know, I am just dreaming.
A princess like Amy, would never fall in love with a peasant like me!
I took my eyes off them ignoring my feelings
I walked inside the classroom after checking my schedule for this semester, I had English First.
The room was filled when I came in and there was only one bench empty at the back.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw Amy walking inside the classroom after me approaching to the bench I was settled on.
Her eyes seemed weird as if she had cried a lot and her nose was pink too.
I knew she had been crying.. But why?
My heart ached watching her like that.
Amy is my princess, I don't like to watch her sad... Or crying.
She settled besides me taking out her phone she kept staring at it saying nothing. I desperately wanted to initiate a conversation with her but it was like my lips were glued preventing me from speaking
"Hy!" She said and snuffles as if she was controlling herself from breaking down in front of a stranger like me.
"Hy, Edward Johnson." I said and immediately and realised, my tone sounded desperate.
She didn't say anything, just smiled a little halfway. It seemed as if she was forcing herself to talk to me so that she could distract herself from something..
But what could it possibly be?
"If-If you don't mind.." She said and snuffled again, "Could you join me for a cup of coffee after class?" She asked.
I was shocked at her sudden offer like that...
Is she kidding me?
Or is she in love with me?
Or is it that her boyfriend dumped her so now she is Looking for a replacement?
I would happily replace Chris in her life if I have to.
"S-sure!" I said trying to control myself from giving her a weird expression.. I definitely did not want her to snap out..
Not when she herself offered to have a cup of coffee with me.
