2021-03-16 17:43:35Phoebe’s POV
“Your times up, sweetie”
I break out of my daze and turn behind to see a middle-aged nurse hovering behind me, holding a metal tray containing various injections. I cringe at the sight of the numerous syringes and nod my head before glancing at my unconscious best friend for the last time.
I exit the glass space and just like every time, I pause in front of the reception desk maintaining the ICU unit and ask one of the duty doctors, “Is her vitals ok?”
The now-familiar doctor looks at me with the same pitying eyes and assures me that she’s recovering. But for some inexplicable reason, I find his words hard to believe.
If she was indeed doing ok, then why isn’t she conscious yet?
Just like always, I nod my head and exit the dark bleak interiors of the ICU room. My hands push past the polished wooden double doors as I walk out.
As soon as I’m out, I e

Fatal Infatuation 15 | Agitation
Phoebe’s POV I stare at the TV listlessly just to feel the silent void that keeps on nagging me about all the things that have been going on. Honestly, with the way things escalated over the last three days, I don’t think I’ve ever had the time to just sit down and think about it all thoroughly, and not that I’m doing it, I feel like bawling my eyes out. For fuck’s sake, I almost lost my best friend! The mere thought of it brings fresh tears to my eyes. As much as I want to steer that image out of my head, I can’t. It’s like someone hard-wired it inside my brain. The vision of her inside her house, lying like a carcass with blood surrounding her… I shake my head to get rid of all those painful thoughts. Ava was hurting. She was hurting so much. My mind drifts back to all those times when she would cut herself because it felt euphoric to her and unfortunately, I can relate to that feeling. Both of us were self-destruct

Phoebe’s POVHe’s right. I feel guilty because I wasn’t a good friend. I shouldn’t be a good friend to Ava because I’m guilty. I shouldn’t feel obligated to help her because I feel guilt. I should be there for her because she’s my bloody best friend and I fucking love her.And suddenly it dawns on me;Blazeis the one who gave methispiece ofadvice. I don’t know what the fuck happened with Andres and honestly, I don’t even care. All I know is that, despite my doubts and confusion about Blaze, he has always been there by my side, often defending me when needed. This increases my respect towards him tenfold as I look at him with gratitude.“Thank you, Blaze. You’re right. It’s just that I feel so fucked and helpless. All my life, it’s been Ava, holding on to me in my worst days. It has always been her who has helped m

Phoebe’s POV“Are you out of your mind?” He menacingly whispers through his gritted teeth and goosebumps cover my skin when I see his pupils dilate with anger.Fuck you and your stupid loud mouth Phoebe!“I, uh-h, Blaze-e please, you’re scaring-g me” I stutter with fear and watch his blue eyes soften when he realizes his behavior.“What on fucking earth compelled you to say something as stupid asthat?” He says with a groan and rubs the sleep off his eyes.“I-uh, I met a guy in the hallway of Ava’s condominium yesterday. I swear, he reminded me of you so much. Both of you look a lot alike, even your eyes! You both have the same shade of Egyptian blue eyes and facial features except he has blond-brown type hair or something in between. I’m not so sure…”You lying bitch! You literally ate that man with your eyes a

Phoebe’s POV“I swear nothing beatsGordito’sburritos” Ava moans with delight and takes a cute little bite from her extra-large burrito with the mayo running down from her brown glossed lips.I could feel the couple beside us gazing at her with what seemed like lust and I resist the urge to throw my head back laughing.I mean, both the girl AND the boy were gaping at her!Ava really did look like a complete vision. With her now-wavy hair let loose, falling over her pale olive-skinned shoulders which glowed underneath the dimmed orange lights. She was sporting a baby blue halter-neck sleeveless top tucked inside a black pencil skirt with a slit on the side. Her full lips were glossed with brown lip-gloss and brown eyes were ringed with black wingtips. In conclusion, she looked absolutely gorgeous.Like 90s beauty reborn…Her fashion sense and the way she hel

Phoebe’s POVGreen Gallowsis a beautiful location to start with your white picket fence dream except there weren’t any picket fences, instead, tall copper metal gates dominate the outside lawn of the mansion, catching people’s eyes as they pass by.The place was indeed splendid which slightly brightened my damp spirits even though after a few months, Jane and Nate will probably start their ‘happy family’ crap.Huh! They might as well as fuck on the railings of the upper deck!As soon as the thought pops inside my head, I quickly dismiss it and move my hands away from the railing over which they were previously resting as I stare at the seaside.‘Oh c’mon Hun, not everyone’s as adventurous as Blaze’ my subconscious snorts at me and I immediately chortle at that thought.Out of nowhere, my mind zones off to the time when Blaze bent me over his room&r

Phoebe’s POV“Oh, shit” I whisper faintly when I detect the storm brewing inside Blaze’s Egyptian blue orbs.“Madam, I’m really sorry” I almost forget about the man who’s holding me upright and instantly move away from him and watch him wither away from me too when he notices Blaze’s death glare.Without another word, he runs off in the direction of the staff room like a damn mouse and for the first time, I notice that he’s holding a broom on the other hand.‘He must be the janitor’ I wonder to myself vaguely and after gathering a lot of courage, I turn to face Blaze and watch him move towards the revolving glass doors.Fuck!“Blaze, wait!” I call after him and move in his direction in such an inhuman speed that I can bet flash would be jealous of.By the time I’ve reached outside, it’s drizzling and Blaze is stand

Phoebe’s POVMy blood runs cold after reading the text and it feels like someone injected ice cold water inside my veins. Even after being wrapped inside the warmth of the thick comforter, my body shivers with fear.Oh my God, it can’t be!My mind goes into over-drive as it starts creating logical explanations for Blaze receiving such a morbid text. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like Blaze ordered some guy named ‘Scott’ to kill his irritating dog.For fuck’s sake, he doesn’t even have a dog! What the fuck are you thinking, Pheebs?I shake my head as ideas like Blaze being some underworld mob boss circles inside my head.That might explain why he’s so filthy rich!But honestly, the possibility of that seems highly unlikely. Then again, what the fuck do I know about this man? We’ve hardly known each other for five months for crying

My eyes flutter close to relish the feel of his lips on mine after what feels like an eternity even though it’s been only a few days. Ten years ago, if anyone told me that I’ll be marrying someone as magnificently amazing as Blaze Hunter. I would’ve probably laughed my ass off. My mind drifts back to the time when he first proposed to me. I think I went mute for over a minute before he started breaking into cold sweats. Later on, I said yes and until now, that’s the best decision I’ve ever made in my 26yrs of living on this planet Earth. Blaze taught me things that I never thought I’ll experience. Ov

Phoebe’s POV“Huh, I totally get what you were saying when you went to visit my parents.Christ, I’m literally one step away from hyperventilating” Blaze mutters with a grimace as he fixes the shirt collar of his midnight blue shirt in the mirror.I break in a fit of cackle behind him as he puts on his black blazer over his broad shoulders. My mouth waters as I stare at the mouth-watering specimen in front of me.He sends me a warning glare before saying, “Ciccino, don’t give me that look”I look at him innocently, something that Ava’s Persian white kitten does with her after breaking her dishes or pooping outside the litter box.“What look?” I blink my eyes in mock confusion and watch him narrow his eyes at me.He starts sauntering in my direction like a predator nearing his prey and raises my face by using two of his fingers underneath my ja

I thought that maybe if I left him, things will be better for him. I mean who wants to burden themselves with a mentally sick girlfriend in their lives?I thought that he’d jump right into the arms of another woman, but he didn’t. At least helookedlike he didn’t.Thank fuck for that!As much as I would love to sacrifice my love, I don’t think I’mthatselfless. I love Blaze and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to live without him.

Blaze’s POV“I’m so sorry but I can’t do this anymore, Blaze. I’m tired of you. I’m tired of constantly being left in the dark. I’m tired of your possessive nature. You always hurt me and I can’t keep ignoring the fact that you have tons of secrets that I have no clue on. I hope you move on with some new girl. It would make me happy. I always had commitment issues Blaze…which is why I can’t do this anymore. Please, don’t contact me from now on”Her written words keep circling inside my head like some endless loop that won’t just fuckingstop!I feel like killing myself for always being such an arse. I always feared for this day to come, the day when Phoebe will finally realize that she’s better off without me.I have this really strong feeling that Diana might be somehow involved in Phoebe’s sudden departure because the last t
Fatal Infatuation 35 | Aftermath
Phoebe’s POV“What mistake, Aves?” I inquire skeptically as I register her forlorn expression. It was like someone was tearing her heart out and honestly speaking, it was kind of sad to witness.She lets out a deep sigh and faces me with a determined look.“I guess it’s time I told you the truth. Remember the time when I told you that I was seeing someone…” She says and seeing my confused face, she clarifies further, “I mean the guy you never met. It was during my last year in college before my internship atVanity”That is when the fog inside my memory lifts.Of course, the mystery guy to whom Ava lost her virginity to and the one that none of our friends ever saw“Ah, you mean the one for whom you used to ditch us back in college?” I decide to tease her and just like I expected, her face reddens like a ripe tomato.“Oh sh
Fatal Infatuation 34 | Painful Decisions
Phoebe’s POVThe beeping sound of machines is the first sound I hear as I open my eyes only to be greeted with the cold sterile atmosphere of the hospital walls.Weirdly enough, my body doesn’t really hurt as I expected it to after the car crash. After blinking my eyes open, I make out the vague outline of a middle-aged nurse in blue scrubs, jotting down something on the clipboard.As if sensing my consciousness, she looks up with a wide smile and flashes me her pearly whites.“Ciao cara, come ti senti?” I frown in confusion at the language that she’s speaking and watch her smile falter upon seeing my confused state.She spews a few more words in a language that I presume is Italian and holds up three of her fingers frantically, waving them in front of my face.What the fuck…Did they admit me with lunatics or what? Where the fuck am I even?Shit, is
Fatal Infatuation 33 | The Crash
Phoebe's POVI look at her with my mouth gaped open in disbelief. My hands shake with fear as she saunters towards me like a predator circling its prey.“How on earth…?” I trail off in confusion.“How on earth I know that you’re a bloody killer?” She probes mockingly and I cringe at her word usage.A bloody killer, huh!As much as troublesome the word sounds, it’s truly fitting in my case. But what I’m trying to grasp is the fact of how she knowsthis. My parents completely made sure that this information stays away from the public eye then how the fuck does she know?The records were wiped clean to the point that even if Sherlock Holmes starts looking for this information; he will come bare-handed.I clench my hands into fists to stop them from shaking and keep my face impassive, something I’ve become a pro at over the years.“

Phoebe's POVI think all the air evaporates from my body as I whip my head to look in her direction again. Only this time, I scrutinize herproperlyfrom head to toe. I instantly cringe when I register her magnetic presence.She wasawfully gorgeousI feel my hands fist on their own accord when I see Blaze’s eyes still locked with her.Her beautiful symmetrical face was visible to me as she removed her silver mask. She was wearing a silver organza gown which accentuated her hourglass figure and unfortunately, she didn’t look like the slutty type of ex you read about in novels. She looked very well-groomed. Her wavy platinum blond hair was pulled into a loose chignon bun and her make-up was minimal like mine.However, my vision loses her when I feel Blaze literallydragme away from her like I’m some rag doll and she’s a bully who’s about to snatch awa
Fatal Infatuation 31 | Say Your Apologies
Phoebe’s POVGreat! Just what I need– Note the sarcasm“Noah” My voice is chilled like ice as I turn to face him. Even though` his half-masked face, I can see that he’s desperate. His normally vibrant brown eyes now look dull with no light in them. I wince when I see his lost expression and it was obvious that he’s been through a lot.Christ, was I THAT harsh to him?“Can we please talk, Phoebe?” He repeats his question and seeing him almost on the verge of tears, my anger thaws a little.I nod my head silently and look at the vast crowd that’s starting to gather underneath the huge made-up tent. I couldn’t see Blaze anywhere. I know that he would blow afucking gasketif he finds out that I’m talking with Noah, knowing how possessive he is but honestly, I don’t know what to do.
