Ember sat outside on a bench. She took out her phone and she called Sophie's number. "Hello"Ember said."Hey Ember, how are you doing?" Sophie asked. The last time they spoke was when Ember went to meet with her, they hadn't yanked since then so Sophie did not know about what was happening now."I don't know, Sophie."She said."What do you mean?"She asked. She was starting to get worried now, maybe that's because she thought of the worst happening to her."Well, you see I had made my decision that I was leaving today but I couldn't. Axle broke the bank card that his mother gave me, because she was very happy that I had finally taken the decision to leave her son. He begged me to stay but he still did not give me a reason that I wanted to hear because he suddenly fell to the ground."She said."Alright first of all you are not good at explaining a certain situation, second, what the fuck do you mean, by him falling on the ground?"She asked. She was starting to panic now, she just hoped

Ember woke up with her body feeling heavy. She had a killer headache too. She had been feeling like this ever since Dr Lee injected those herbs into her. She had told him that she was sick but he just said that it was nothing to worry about and that it would go away in no time, but it has already been three days now. He had given her some pills for the headache but they only worked for a day and then the next morning she would wake up with the headache and her body would be heavy and exhausted too.Ember looked at the right side of the bed and she noticed that Axle was still sleeping. Axle had to stay in bed until Dr Lee said so. Ember did not like it though, but she had no choice. Axle was unable to walk properly now so he had to use a wheelchair if he wanted to go somewhere, which was something that made Ember worry even more about him. It just made her question if Axle was going to be normal again after the treatment.He looked so peaceful when sleeping. His skin wasn't pale anymor

THREE WEEKS LATER"OH look who's back."Payton said rolling her eyes as soon as she saw Ember entering the house. "Hood evening mother-in-law. It'ssuch a beautifulevening isn't it?"Ember said with a smile on her face, probably doing it to annoy Payton. Payton just shook her head."Of course you would say that."Payton said."And what is that supposed to mean?"She asked."You know I remember that you told me that I was a horrible mother a few weeks ago, but now I don't know who's horrible between the two of us."She said. Ember looked confused."I still don't understand what you are trying to say."Ember said."Today was the day that Dr Lee was supposed to start with the treatment but you decided to wake up in the morning and just go out with your friends. You are lucky that Dr Lee was able to keep Axle alive for the time that you were gone."Payton said. Ember had completely forgotten that it was the day. If she had remembered then she wouldn't have gone out with Sophie for the high schoo

Ember finished up showering and she walked out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around her body. She found Axle sitting on the bed and he seemed to be busy with something on his laptop because he looked serious and focused. Ember thought that he was not supposed to work until he had fully recovered but she knew that she could not stop him from doing his work so she did not even bother trying to. She closed the bathroom door. Axle lifted his head as soon as he heard her close the bathroom door. He smiled at her, he just could not imagine himself parting ways with her."Why are you looking at me like that?"She asked, smiling back at him."Nothing, I am just looking at the beautiful woman standing in front of me."He said. Ember shook her head, rolling her eyes at him."Thanks for the compliment, what are you doing?"She asked, pointing her finger in the direction of the laptop."Just doing some work, I want to finish to up before my recovery, so that I won't have a load of work after

"Axle. You don't believe this do you?"She asked, but Axle did not answer. Just when she needed him the most he decided not to stand up for her. Maybe she was wrong about him changing and falling in love with her."What more do you want from my son Ember? We get it he hurt you, but did you have to go out there in the streets at 3am and make out with someone else? I should have known that there was something going on between you and that man."Payton said, crying. Anyone could tell that her tears were fake, she was very excited because she was finally going to get her to leave."This isn't true. I only went out for a walk and I just happened to bump into him, and none of this actually happened. This is all a lie."She said. She could feel tears streaming down her face. She regretted not realising it anytime soon that Dean was up to something, but she didn't understand how he knew where she was at that time. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe not."Save it. I always knew that you were a s
