I stand in the shower, letting the water drip down from my hair all the way down to my feet.
I sob quietly, not wanting to wake Ramon. This is all too unbearable but I hope, slightly hope, that maybe this water can wash away my tears and drown my sorrows.
My once upon a time best friend is dead. My once upon a time boyfriend is dead. The kid they were both expecting is also gone. I know what they did to me was wrong and I still hate them for it but I didn't want them to vanish from the face of the earth. To die in a fire? What an excruciating way to die. I wouldn't wish that on even my worst enemy.
And now the police are looking for me for something I didn't do in the first place. Oh my God! Riana and Karla must be thinking I did it. I'm sure that the whole of Kingswood is buzzing about the story now and they think am the criminal because I ran away.
How!
<I spent the whole of last night in a fucking cell.I wasn't able to sleep the entire night. Not with the sadness, loneliness and cold of this empty room. All I did was cry and ask myself questions.Why am I going through all this? Why is it happening to me? What did I ever do to deserve this? Why is the universe punishing me so harshly?I must have spent the better part of the night crying my heart out because it's now dawn. Another day to go through nothing but hell...But in some part of me, I feel that it will all be okay.Ramon's mom said "It may not look like it right now but everything will get better. It always gets better."And that's what is keeping me going... Hoping that things will get better..."I have Ramon.He said he'll be with me and will take ca
The second day in this hell hole and still Ramon has not come to see me.I am starting to get a little worried. This is so unlike him. I know wherever he is... He's not doing this intentionally... Or, is he?Or is it because he fucked me? Is he tired of me already? Was sex all he wanted? Will he leave me?"Someone's here!"I'm tired of putting my hopes up that it's Ramon.It's Riana.Ugh! I really wished it was Ramon in some part of me..."Hey!"I hope she's not angry at me like Karla was yesterday.Riana smiles sweetly, sitting directly opposite."Hey there."She looks as if she's going to burst into tears any minute from now."Stop looking at me like that..."She sniffs. "Like what?"
Midnight.Ramon is pacing around the corridors of the hospitals, restless and sad.I wish there was something I could do to calm him down. To make him feel alright. He's been there for me so many times and I can't even be there for him just this once.Her mom tightens her grip on my hand, chanting a prayer.There is a lot of tension right now.I keep my fingers crossed, praying that the little bundle of joy will be okay.Ramon and I drove out of Kingswood as soon as we could.Unfortunately, Marisa's chemotherapy can't go on since the bone marrow donor backed out last minute. And now the doctors are trying to figure out how they'll go about the transplant. It's really depressing. This is an innocent kid's life in danger for God's sake.The doctor finally approaches us."Unfortun
I sit on my swivel chair.I had missed work. I had missed my office. The past couple of days have been a Rollercoaster. So being back at my office kind of feels great.I call my secretary."Ms. Crawford?""Yes ma'am.""I need you to set an appointment with Shawn's manager in the afternoon."She goes silent."Ms. Crawford?""I'm afraid that won't be possible.""Why?""Ms. Banks canceled the deal when you were not in.""What!" I bark."I'm sorry madam. I -""Call her in my office! Now!"÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷Ms. Banks struts inside my
It's a busy day at work.I'm trying to catch up since I haven't been at work for like a whole week. I just had a meeting at the conference room now and the whole time, I wanted to rush the clock and make it end. I tried my best not to yawn but I did it anyways. I yawned like two times and I earned some absurd glances from the staff but, who cares?Back at my office, the secretary walks in and hands me a gift box. When she leaves my office, I quickly open the gift box.Inside are a pack of oreos, a box of chocolates and a card,Thinking about you, Queen.I immediately call Ramon."Queen?"I smile like a stupid teenager. "I got the oreos and chocolates... I pity other girls you know...""Why?""Because they'll never have you. They'll never have what I have and feel what I feel. Y
Ramon is not in bed when I wake up.He doesn't usually go without waking me up. Where the hell could he be?I quickly sit up ready to hop off the bed when he enters holding a tray of breakfast: toasted bread, boiled eggs, hot black coffee and a green apple.Breakfast in Bed!This man should stop spoiling me already. I'll start getting used to this."Morning queen," he kisses my forehead.I sip my coffee and bite into the bread, he strips off his pajamas and slides into the shower. The minute he gets in the bathroom, his phone starts to ring on the side table.Marisa...I quickly pick up delightfully."Bestie!""Bestie!" she shrieks. "I miss youuuuuu!""Miss you too love
"Mrs. Clara Clarkson, I hereby find you guilty for the murder of Mr. Clarkson, Ms. Hannah and Mr. Jace and also for the attempted abduction of your daughter, Ms. Camilla Clarkson. You're hereby sentenced to a hundred and twenty years in prison!"My mom glares at Andrew who just testified against her. She has wounds and bruises all over her face and her shackled hands. Life has sure taken a toll on her since I found out she's dad's murderer. And I still kinda feel sympathy for her...Despite all this, she's still my mom, you know...But then I swiftly brush away that slight feeling of sympathy when I remember she tried to abduct me in my house during Ramon's birthday party. If it wasn't for Ramon and my uncle dragging me away from her, I would probably be dead by now.I knew mom was a money lover but I didn't know it was to this extend. She would even kill me? Her own d
Beep!Beep!Beep!I groan as I stretch my hand to turn off the damn alarm.Time to go to work.I turn to the opposite side of the bed and it breaks my heart that it's the first night in tenths of nights not waking up to Ramon by my side since we entered a relationship.Well, except the two nights I spent in jail.If he was here, I would have woken up to scrumptious breakfast in bed or some sizzling morning glory.I had gotten used to this... To him...And now this is my punishment.I drag myself out of bed and shamble to the shower. And as the water streams down my skin, I reminisce on our steamy sex in the shower. His touch. His body.Ugh!I miss that jerk already.
