TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS Chapter 11
John’s POVDinner night had arrived and my mood was terrible. My parents, Cassie's parents, and the two of us were seated at an abundant table, and the atmosphere was filled with the most explicit sucking and kissing. This kind of situation was commonplace, but that night it was out of bounds. The subject of "engagement" had been brought up countless times, and now my mother and my girlfriend's mother were excitedly showing a wedding dress magazine to Cassie, who looked as uncomfortable as I was. "Okay, that's enough. You're going to scare her," I forced a smile and pulled her close to me, who almost celebrated with relief."Imagine that, son. We were just looking. I have to say, Cassie, you would look magnificent in a Mauro Adami, dear," my mother said, smiling vainly. "That would be in great taste, we should certainly arrange that when the time comes," my girlfriend's father complemented. I took my champagne in one gulp, receiving a scolding look from my father and even Cassie.

John’s POV At the end of dinner, we said goodbye to Cassie and her family. My father made mention of speaking to me, however, and I raised my hand in mute request that he not proceed."I don't want to hear any more. I did the shit you guys wanted, so just for today, I ask.... Don't.talk.to.me." he said slowly, turning away with the intention of walking out of there."Is that manners, John?" my father scolded me. I turned and faced them, impatience expressed on my face."I just wanted to know something.... "I spun on my heel, facing them again. "How old do you think I am? You want to decide when I'm going to get married, what it's going to be like, what I'm going to do... That's it!" I exclaimed. I felt another twinge of pain in my head. "Mom, what was that ridiculous scene with Helena? You have exceeded all limits of common sense! I haven't left here yet because of YOU, because when Dad travels, I'm afraid to leave you alone because of your fainting spells. My apartment is there, loc

"Have a nice afternoon, Ms. Harnett." I said goodbye to my last internship patient in college and sighed tiredly, throwing my arms on the table in front of me and resting my head on them. I really loved my chosen profession, I couldn't wait to receive my diploma and do all the things necessary to finally perform my role as a professional, but the tiredness of graduating joined with the tiredness of exams, papers, TCC project, internship appointments, work at the Carter's house, and my part-time job on Saturdays, resulting in a cumulative exhaustion.I grabbed my things and hurriedly left the room, as I still had to meet Sophie at the library to finish a paper. When I arrived at the ressinto I saw her sitting at a table reading something on her cell phone, concentrating. I approached her and sat down next to her, startling her."Do you want to kill me from the heart? I didn't even see you arrive!" she said with her hand under her chest from the recent fright. I laughed and denied it.

I shook my head to push those memories away and laughed humorlessly as I remembered how stupid I was. At first, being with Bryan did not involve anything outside of attraction, however, our involvement began to evolve. From kissing, to making out. From kissing, to cuddling, to sex. From sex, to affectionate moments of hugging and sleeping together. As time went by, I acquired feelings for him, and was even able to forget the uncertainty I had about John. I didn't notice that I was made a fool of, I didn't notice that he always had an excuse not to go out with me in public, I didn't notice that he never introduced me to his friends because he was ashamed of me. Ashamed to admit that I was dating the daughter of the maid of one of his friends. I got off the bus and entered the condominium, greeting the doorman and heading towards the mansion. I noticed unfamiliar cars in the garage and frowned, trying to remember if there were any events at the Carter residence. I left my books o

"Doctor Carter, I know what I'm talking about, so I urge you to be careful." I frowned as I listened to him. "most of the people who attended the event are corrupt. All this time I kept close just to protect myself, after all, the saying "keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer" is totally true. "I nodded slowly. The strange phone calls I had been receiving hit me hard, and I began to connect the dots. I needed to fix this before it got any worse. "Don't worry, Mr. Feldman. I will be cautious. I want you to focus on the day of the party and write down everything you can remember, every detail of every individual. What they did, what they said, everything. I'll be back in two weeks to collect the receipts and your notes, okay?""Okay. Thank you very much." we get up and shake hands."Let's go get whoever did this," I said firmly. "See you later, Mr. Feldman.""See you. " he replied and I gave a brief nod, passing the guards and walking out the door of the house. I ran

I got out of the car and decided not to go into the house. I went straight to the garden, the only place I could calm myself down. I grabbed a pack of cigarettes, took one out of it and lit it. I took a long drag as I walked among the plants, and the scene I saw when I reached my destination was almost like a rush, if it wasn't for the presence of my dog. Just as a few days ago, Helena was sitting on the bench. This time, she was hugging her legs that were curled up close to her body and her head rested on her knees. She didn't look well. I approached, drawing the attention of Benedict, who raised his head to look at me. The girl followed the gaze of the dog beside her and stopped at me, her vacant expression staring at me for a few seconds as I approached, then quickly looked forward again. Bento got down from the bench and lay there on the floor, leaving the place next to Helena empty. I sat there and she didn't even move.Silence.I took another drag on my cigarette, releasing

Friday, what a wonderful day. Even more wonderful was the fact that I would not have to go to work tomorrow, as it would be my day off since Mr. Jordan, the owner of the store, would be testing the new assistant he had hired to help me with my chores. I was more sleep-dead than usual and I knew exactly why: I had stayed up late talking to John the night before. Talking to him as if we were good friends surprised me, I never would have imagined that conversation would flow so naturally when talking to someone, especially when that someone is always so closed off. During the whole day I felt idiotically happy and I abhorred myself for it, I abhorred these feelings that never completely go away.As soon as I entered the house, I saw that my mother was folding some clothes and putting them into a small suitcase."Mom, what's all this for?" I asked, seeing some blouses on top of the couch."I'm going on a trip with Miss Kyara, daughter. We'll be leaving soon," she answered, placing the la

"First, check for me if he is warm" I did as I was asked and gently placed my free hand on his forehead."No, Doctor. He's breaking out in a cold sweat, only.""Okay. Now, close the curtain. Keep it dark, all right?" I hurried around the room, closing the curtain that covered the huge window in John's room. I looked at him, who still had his hands on his head and his eyes closed.He grunted again, turning over in his bed, and I felt my heart squeeze."There. Now what?" I questioned, sitting up in the vacant space on the bed, not taking my eyes off the man in front of me. "Take a bag of water or a cloth and soak it in the cold water. Once that's done, put it on his forehead. I'm on my way.""Okay. Thank you, Doctor" I spoke, already walking down the stairs, almost tripping over my own feet.I ended the call and, without the patience to look for the water bag, grabbed a clean cloth from a drawer and soaked it in the cold water. I returned to the room like a hurricane, sat down next to
