“C’mon, put her in the car,” I instructed one of the men who worked at her home. I watched as Charlotte followed the men carrying Leon out of the house, I trailed after them casually and I struggled to come up with valid reasons to ask for help,It had been years since I had seen him. And there was no form of assurance that he would even be available for this yet here was running over to his house like we had been best friends. As much as we had our differences and Disagreements, Alexander was the only person who could save Leon now.I met him in my third year at college. He was studying to become a scientist and I as well as quite induced in becoming a Family doctor. I had never really been clear in any of my specifications because I never wanted to study Medicine in the first place. Things changed after that third year though, When I met Alexander. He was popular, but not a playboy or obnoxious or anything you would find in those cliche movies or books. Alex was a down-to-earth and

“She’s stable now.” Alexander informed us all as he walked into the room, I sighed in relief and plopped down on his blue sofa, these past four hours had been one of the hardest hurdles to face. From my peripheral vision, I could see Alexander staring at me fixedly. It was almost as if he desperately wanted to speak to me but I wasn’t interested in anyway, I already had so many things going on and as much as I was grateful, I also knew I was better off without the people in my past.“Thank you,” Charlotte whispered, I had not done this for her so I had no clue why she felt somewhat inclined to apologize or give me an explanation. Instead of gracing her with any response, I stood up and walked over to Alexander. At this rate, I had been willing to leave one issue and jump right into another.I licked my lips and endured his burning gaze into my skin while I reminded myself that once Leon was okay, we would get out of here and I would never see his face again, boy, was I dead wrong. “So
FIRE CRACKER What happened that night (157)
“What’s up with him?” I heard Alex speak after Daniel had stormed off, I was still staring in the direction he had left but I was conscious of the footsteps that got closer to me, I spun around before Alex could get close enough and made eye contact with him for a split moment.“Nothing, it’s none of your business.” I spat and took a few steps away from me but he pulled me back.“Why are you pushing me away Danielle? I thought we had sorted out our differences and—“ He raised my hand and showed me that my ring finger had no ring.“You are a free woman.” He explained. “What’s stopping us now?” He questioned and I could see the creases on his forehead. I swallowed and yanked my wrist from him. “Sure, there was a time I loved you.” I breathed and looked into his eyes. “but that was when I was Danielle, That impulsive, innocent teenager.” I explained, “I am no longer that girl, she died years ago and so did every emotional connection she had and I intend to keep it that way.” I informed

My insides clogged up. I could barely breathe or feel anything g as the paper slipped from my hands. I had expected something horrible, something devastating or some mastermind plan, but not this, nothing like this. Even a hot shower would not be able to quench the intense pain I was feeling. I felt so confused and plagued. I had so many intense emotions brewing up a storm inside of me and I was almost terrified concerning which was going to take the lead.I dropped down to my bed. My eyes stung with tears and my hands felt so they that I could not move them or try to wipe the tears away. Three years. Three long years and now this comes up. I know that I have said many times, that nothing could have prepared me for this or that. This time I meant it. Nothing, nothing felt more intrusive and painful as a thing.It almost felt as if I had been living myself but I had no clue what was going on. I laid back on my bed. A tear rolled down my face and my chest tightened. I felt goosebumps
FIRE CRACKER I can’t breathe (159)
As I gradually regained consciousness, I felt a dull ache at the back of my head and my wrist hurt. My eyelids felt too heavy to move and my chest felt constricted.I could hear worried murmurs in the background but I could not make out anything that was being said, I would have grumbled underneath my breath but my lips felt glued together before I could go straight into panic mode, I felt somewhere deepen.It took me a few seconds to register the fact that I was on a bed, A felt an emotion I could not identify hit me in waves and confusion saturated the atmosphere, the last thing I remembered was reading that letter and the door that slammed open, but the crazy headache in my head did not let me go any further.My eyes snapped open in one move. It seemed my curiosity and anxiety had gotten the best of me, but it was all for nothing because I locked eyes with Alexander.“What are you doing here—” I said as I tried to sit up, He was at my side in a moment.“You shouldn’t try to get up,
FIRE CRACKER Love is pain too (160)
My eyes fluttered open for the second time and this time I could breathe better, I had imagined that I would be on a bed but the surface I was laid on seemed hard. A groan left my mouth and someone gasped. "Danielle! You are awake! I was so terrified!" Emilia said and it took me a few seconds to register the fact that she had been holding my hands and trying to add pressure by rubbing them. I smiled weakly at her, now, she was someone I needed to see. "I thought you were going to die on us back there, what happened?" I heard Lee's voice, she soon came into my line of sight with a huge towel, it was then I registered that the three of us were alone in the room and I was on the floor, outside of my bathroom. "I think I blacked out. It's probably stress." I offered a lame explanation. Lee nodded in consideration. "You should get some rest then, we have a long day tomorrow, especially since—" "Save it lee, now is not the time —" Emilia began as I glanced between the two ladies. "Wha

“You should get some rest,” Emilia responded and tied her hair into a bun, I nodded and walked into my walk-in closet to grab a dress. I messily pulled a chocolate button-up dress over my head and walked over to her. “That was quick,” she commented. I nodded slightly.“So, are you going to tell me why you did it?” She asked and I raised an eyebrow. “Did what?” I responded sharply, I was sure my features were somewhat laced with confusion as I stared at her blue orbs.“You tried to kill yourself a few minutes ago.” She deadpanned.I glanced around the room and it was only at this point, I registered the fact that the glass shards were off the ground and the room was neatly arranged, a complete contrast to how I had left it a few hours ago.“I wasn’t trying to kill myself,” I corrected softly and took a few steps away from her. Emilia stood up, Her gaze traced my dress to my eyes, We locked eyes for a split moment before we broke eye contact. “I don’t know if I should trust you or no
FIRE CRACKER Stay out of my life (162)
“It’s missing!” I cried out as I glanced around my room frantically and tore the room apart.“I’m sure it’s somewhere around here,” Daniel tried to reassure me, but I was not having it. That letter did not have legs to just walk out of the room, there were only two people in the room with me, Alexander was in there but there was no reason for him to take the letter.I paused and ran my hands through my hands in frustration, I sucked in a deep and tapped my feet against the group furiously as I tried to think harder, the second person who had come in here was Hilda and she was the one who arranged the room.“Hilda!” I yelled in a high-pitched tone as I stroked out of my room on a mission, I could hear loud footsteps behind me and I was sure that Daniel and Emilia were following. “Danielle, I’m sure that you are mistaken, please try to calm down, you need to get some rest—“ She began.“Rest?” I shot at her and spun around. “You want me to get some rest?!” I said exasperatedly. “I’m han
