p; Be yourself. Love yourself.

There were thousands of bracelets like that.

It could be his.

I turned to look the back of the bracelet…

Angel. Dawn. Forever.

I grabbed the countertop to lean into it for balance.

My head was spinning.

The ground was spinning.

I needed answers, but I didn’t know what to ask.

Angel’s bracelet was in Alex’s bathroom cabinet…

And I didn’t have any way of explaining it.

“Violet, did you find what you were looking for?” Alex yelled from his bedroom while I took deep breaths to calm my nerves.

“Violet?” Alex called again.

“Yeah, yeah…I’ll be out in a few minutes,” I shouted at a high pitch.

“Take your time, babe.” Alex chuckled on the other side of the door.

I sank to the ground and leaned against the bathroom cabinet. There were too many thoughts spinning in my mind, completely unfiltered chaos and nothing made sense, yet I fought to put everything in order to understand.

Angel used to work in the club as a pole dancer.

She must have known the Vincent brothers.

Angel’s bracelet is in the Alex’s bathroom.

She was in this house…in this bathroom…

I was trying to make a connection between all these facts but I couldn’t.

My heart was beating fast.

I was afraid of Alex and Xander had something to do with Angel’s absence or if they knew something, but mostly, I wondered if they were the reason why Angel had disappear

I needed answers and felt like I was going crazy with all the scenarios playing in my mind. When I opened the bathroom door, Alex lifted his head with a usual smile but the moment he saw my face his smile froze.

“What? What happened?” He immediately started to walk toward me. I lifted my hand to stop him. His frown deepened but he jerked to a stop in front of me.

“Violet? What’s wrong?”

I showed him the bracelet in the palm of my hand.

“What is this Alex?” I asked with a quivering voice. For two years, I imagined Angel wearing that bracelet, our matching bracelets.

“It seems like a bracelet. What’s wrong with it?” Alex frowned. He was confused and it made me question myself.

I turned to look the back of the bracelet again. To remind myself why I was shattered in pieces.
