My eyes fluttered open and a dull ache ran through my head. I sucked in a sharp breath. I could see pale blue around me and it was for some reason sickening.I tried to speak but my lips weren't moving. My body felt like there were a thousand bricks on it and forming a complete thought at that moment felt like too much to ask.I blinked. The blue that was swallowing me up gradually became less sickening and it took me a few seconds to realize that it was the lights in the room, My breath hitched and my eyes looked around, the sound of beeping filled my ears and I became painfully aware of the mask on my face.Realization hit me at once. I was in a hospital. Intensive care specifically. The blue lights were a huge giveaway. I knew something happened to me but I never thought it was so bad that I had to be admitted into the intensive care unit.I wanted to ponder on that for a while longer but there were more pressing matters on hand, for example, why could I not move my lips? Why did
The next time I woke up, my eyes were open. The dull ache in my head was considerably reduced and I could feel my legs a bit, but couldn't move them. It took my eyes a few seconds to adjust to the familiar blue lights and also for me to realize that I wasn't alone."Danielle." The voice was sweet and it felt so good to be familiar. "Charlotte." I surprised myself as I heard my voice. I soon realized though, that she would hear me because the oxygen mask was unfortunately still glued to my face."Take it off..." I breathed. I felt my chest rise and fall. Then it warmed up when Charlotte's face came into sight. "Charlotte..." "Danielle, my love.." She cried and I assume she grabbed my hand because of the sudden pressure and warmth on it. Charlotte squeezed it. I would have given anything to be able to squeeze it back and reassure her, but I couldn't and it hurt so bad.I gradually took in her facial features, it was quite difficult because she was wearing a mask and also sporting a ho
"You gave us quite the scare" This voice was vaguely familiar and I casually opened my eyes. The first thing I noticed was that the dreaded mask was no longer on my face, The second thing I noticed was that the dull ache and uncomfortable sensation in my head ad lungs seemed to be gone.I let out a sigh of relief as I felt my legs, I tried to sit up but the voice cut through my attempt "Don't, the doctor said you need as much rest as you can get, you are still recuperating." A small smile tugged at my lips when my eyes locked with pale blue orbs."Mr-Mr Disney." I croaked out. My voice came out a bit lower than I would have liked, but it was less painful than it was before."You need to stop straining yourself, Miss Hasty," Tyler commented. His naturally styled hair was a mess and I could sense his giddiness from my place on the bed, His eyes were soaked in worry and I could have sworn they glistened a bit."You honestly don't have to be here," I commented. My voice was clearer even t
"Are you sure about what you are saying? That is a serious accusation, Danielle." Tyler said in a serious tone."Yes I am, I have evidence..." His eyes widened at that, "I mean, I had evidence," I whispered and sighed. "It's in the flash drive that I lost, everything is in there Tyler and that flash drive is currently with Rye and soon Alice will get her hands on it and probably destroy it," I rushed out."What's on the flash drive?" He asked in a curious tone."The only shred of evidence that can prove that Alice murdered my father, She's manipulated Rye into believing who knows what. That woman has no limits, she is incapable of love and I am sure the only reason is here is so she can get rid of me." I let out a wince and tears rolled down my cheeks"Danielle..." He whispered."No, you don't understand. That woman is a monster, she is a horrible person, she has no limits and all she knows how to do is exploit and humiliate people, she is skilled at continuously playing with people's
I couldn't walk.It was honestly one of the most heart-wrenching news I had ever received in my life. I completely zoned out after the doctor said that, My entire world paused and I became painfully aware of the fact that I could neither feel nor move my legs, It felt like they were bricks themselves and I felt a rush of warmth bubble inside me irritatingly.I recalled how I had gagged and let out the food I had forced down my throat a few hours earlier. To be honest, I had expected to cry or scream, but nothing left my lips, no reaction was enough to express the amount of pain and anger I felt at the moment. I wasn't sure who I was angry at. But at that moment, I needed something or someone to be angry at anything. Fortunately, I found myself.My face contorted and I felt the muscles ache at the pressure. The last thing I needed was this, the last thing I deserved was this. I knew I didn't have amazing and cool plans like many people out there, I knew I h
"Cheer up! It's a bright day!" Tyler cheered as he opened the curtains in my room. I rolled my eyes at his enthusiasm. "This isn't a Tuesday," I deadpanned when I saw the daisies in his hand, a smile broke out on his plump lips and his dimples became visible."And I thought you loved my daisies," He commented playfully and sat on the floor in front of my wheelchair, a habit I found quite annoying."I simply tolerate how obnoxious you can be with your flowers" at this rate I sounded like one of those sad people who were tired of life and being in a wheelchair, It was funny how I fit right into that category except for the second line. I paused at my thoughts.With everything that was going on, since when did I stop being tired of life? "A penny for your thoughts?" Tyler's voice brought me back to reality. He was sporting a blue sweatshirt and some sweat pants, his hair seemed to be lazily groomed yet his face had more color than I r
"R-Rye?" I croaked out and my heart ached. My forehead creased, My hands slacked by my sides and my heart rate was abnormally dormant, for the first time in the past few days, tears stung my eyes and burned my cheeks."That— that's impossible." I blurted out as I gripped the wheelchair. "Th—this has to be a mistake, Rye — Rye can't do this!" I yelled frantically."Danielle, please—" "Don't tell me to calm down!" I snapped and a tear rolled down my right cheek "can't you see?!" I cried. "They are trying to frame her or- or - or something but this can't be! It just can't!" I vocalized. "There's a written confession Ma'am" something about this man's calm voice wanted me to explode."I don't care!" I yelled "I don't care if you have a written confession or any evidence!" more tears fell down my eyes, I was just so upset. I sucked in a deep breath and tried to control my breathing. The last thing I needed was to sound like a crazy person"Look..." I said as
“W-what?” I croaked out and it felt like the world had stopped in that split moment, nothing else mattered but the determined look in his steel blue eyes that were burning into mine.“I love you.” He repeated effortlessly. A tear rolled down my cheeks and my eyes widened. “I love you so, so much Danielle.” He continued and I took in a sharp breath. “I don’t know when it happened or how or...” He trailed off and stood up from where he had knelt in front of me. “I don’t know...” He took a few paces from me before he turned and continued. “I don’t know when and how this happened. But I know it did, And maybe I do know but—”“How?” the word rolled out of my mouth. Tyler froze in his step. He looked like he was about to say something but I beat him to it and rolled my wheel towards him. “How can you love someone like me? Are you insane?” I questioned with tear-filled eyes.“Have you ever seen my track record? Everyone I’ve loved or who has loved me either ends up leaving me or dying.” I i
