Too Bad
Lydia’s POV: “For real. Like don’t you get giddy when you see him?” Lorena asked and I pursed my lips. “Or don’t you just stare at him with admiration when he smiles, don’t you just want to melt?” Ari spoke, zoning out and leaning on her left hand. We just chuckled as she stared into space, probably thinking about Andrew. “I believe you just need to share with him your fears of even admitting you like him. You don’t want any sort of rejection nor abuse ever again, so just even admitting it and saying it outloud scares you.” Lorena pointed out and she knew me so well. Maybe I was scared, maybe I did truly have feelings for Nathaniel King…. As I said it in my head, realization dawned on me. Our phones began to ding and go off simultaneously, and we looked at each bringing out our phones. “Ouuuu…you two are in trouble. I’m not because my man knows my whereabouts.” Lorena spoke and Ari and I looked at each other. Andrew, Nathaniel, my father, Roseline were blowing up my phone seeing me bunch of messages and dozens of calls. The signal was horrible which is why we are just seeing everything. Lorena was right, we were in trouble…

JENNY’S POV: I sat at the back seat of a Jeep I had stolen from the man who took care of me these past few months. I really appreciated him but I had to do what I had to do. I wanted to make a huge entrance but turns out they already discovered I was still alive. So my appearance had to be more crazy. Wondering how I survived the incident with the police? Let me fill you in. Flashback to a month ago: I was badly injured and my side had been grazed by a bullet. I had torn my shirt and tied it around the wound while I sat at the shore. My whole body was wet and I was cold, I was certain they had been searching the whole day for me. I couldn’t even believe I swarmed and survived this. I felt huge fatigue and slumber coming over me, weak was an understatement on how I felt and blood gushed out by side. After everything I am just going to die like this? Like a common criminal? My mother wouldn’t be pleased in the slightest. I mean she wouldn’t even be pleased hearing that I put our family name on the line. Everyone would be so disappointed in me and I truly didn’t care. I was on the verge of dying and tears brimmed in my eye. So I would never get my revenge on Lydia? I would never get married to Nathaniel? Why.. As I cried, feeling pain all over my body, especially my wound, the only light I saw was the light from the moon. Everywhere was pitch black and the only sound coming from the crickets and the bark of a dog. Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching and some light. I couldn’t tell if it was light that I could see because death was approaching or from someone in the bush. I couldn’t care less whether I was still on earth or the afterlife, the pain was so unbearable. I began to shout, “Help! Someone please help!” I cried out in a loud voice, using my last energy to scream, I could feel blood and excruciating pain as I screamed. “Someone help.” I said in a faint tone and that I shut my eyes and my mouth. I vaguely heard a dog and footsteps approaching. “O My God.” Whoever it was said, and that’s all I could remember before passing out. ****** “Thank you doctor…” I heard as my eyes slowly fluttered open. The first thing I saw was a wooden roof and bright light from the sun. “Oh…would you look at that, she’s waking up.” My eyes reverted to them and I couldn’t fully open it, I saw two men standing there. One was dressed in a brown police uniform and he had on a cap as well while the other man was just in a simple corporate outfit, he seemed like the doctor. I tried to move but I winced in pain, and held my side. It was then I realized it was wrapped in a band aid. “Careful.” The policeman spoke with worry trying to help me up and the doctor helped me as well. “Who are you? What am I doing here?” I became alert, my memory was fuzzy and I didn’t know if I was in the afterlife though I expected it to be beautiful, or if the police had already arrested me. Best believe I was ready to run even with how weak and sore my whole body was. “I am Officer Ken, I saw you hurt and sore at the shore around the woods and brought you here. This is Doctor Ed, who helped in taking care of you.” He introduced me and my heart was filled with happiness that I was alive. “Yes, you were on the verge of death but with the little resources I have and were able to get from the hospital, we were able to revive you. How do you feel? Do you remember what happened to you?” Doctor Ed questioned and the two looked at me in anticipation and concern. They didn’t know who I was and rescued me? Wow , they are so jobless.. I just hope they weren’t expecting sex or a dime from me. But on another hand, rather than revealing my identity, I could do something even better and pave a way for myself. “I don’t remember anything.” I pretended, holding my head and my arms were just so sore, especially my shoulders. Was it due to the escape? They looked at each then back at me, “Do you at least remember your name or how you could probably have gotten here? A relative maybe?” The policeman asked. I thought deeply and though I remember it all, I shook my head “no” and I was at the brim of tears. “I don’t remember anything.” I answered and they sighed deeply. That was how the two men took care of me and catered for my every need. They would have even assumed we were friends especially after they gave me a name, Miriam. Too bad…. I was completely healed and I had goals to achieve. So long losers! Now, it was time to get my Nathaniel back and handle Lydia and probably take on the whole police force.
