Elizabeth could feel her heart squeeze with guilt as she ran outside the hospital building.In her head she questioned herself why did that happen; would Coco be ok? She had only been away a few minutes, a few minutes… Lizzy wondered what would have happened if she has decided to stay back with her baby sister. Why did her phone even ring, if only she had taken it down with her. The picture of Coco lying lifeless on the ground flashed through her thoughts, she could still hear the thud and the horrid ringing of her mobile.“Coc...." the word were caught off by the endless emotions that overwhelmed her.Elizabeth ran into the cold night, hot tears streaming down her cheeks, eyes on the floor, a grave blur. She hated that she was in that situation, she hated Maria more, she had to moved them to the polished mansion, much like a hotel without caution signs. She felt the ground was all thin ice, wondering ‘would anything get easier?’ they were barely 2 months there and someone was alre
“Up” Jace commanded as he came to his feet, hands stretched to take her hand, she looked to him weakly before pulling up. Jace lifted his brows staring at his hand which had been ignored, with a smile, he led the way out the lounge.Soon they got into the vehicle and he drove her over to the hospital, the car took a stop and he turned to Elizabeth who stared wide eyed at the glowing white interior, she was uncertain if she could bring herself to face her mother again and what worse finding out some other bad news about Coco.Maria persistence with it been her fault made her feel even worse.“Elizabeth…” Jace noticed her reluctance to leave before she could catch the obvious stalling. She quickly took her gaze to him; she couldn’t voice out the words in her head. “hmm” she made the distracted sound, Jace looked away from her and over to the beckoning doors.“Let’s go” he spo
The morning at the ICU was a lot quiet with Coco fast asleep, Maria had stayed overnight with the little girl, She had however headed back home that morning to freshen up and get change of clothes for Elizabeth, Louis had also taken the time to be with his daughter the previous night although he had a strategic meeting the following day, Maria had urged him to get some rest so he had left that night with Shakar.Elizabeth laid her head at the corner of the bed, she had drawn a single chair over to Coco, a little blanket rested on her leg, and she took some hair away from Coco’s face, taking her hand to feel the bandage that would be getting a new dressing in a few hours by the nurse.The little girl had lost a lot of blood and was gradually increasing her count that would guarantee a discharge, although Coco didn’t voice out her discomfort, Elizabeth could tell that she didn’t exactly like being strapped to wires in a room that smelled like citrus scented cleaning solution, bleach and
Elizabeth struggled to pry herself away from Shakar’s grip but he tightened his pressure on her. She didn’t have the strength for his nuisance, she already heard a little of his brainless argument with Jace, he was here again dragging baseless argument at her feet, He was a spoilt brat to Elizabeth; It wasn’t as though any of them wished for their current situation but it seemed she would never meet eye to eye with him on anything even if they were both profiting.“Let me go Shakar” she gritted her teeth in anger but he only fastened his grip on her arm.“You whore; I know you attempt once again to take Coco out of the way. So, what are you up to now? What’s your plan you beggar!”Elizabeth tried to control her movement; she tried to remain calm so as not to disturb Coco who was currently under the influence of pain relievers.“Stop fooling around and let go of me” Elizabeth meant that more as a plea although she wouldn’t show her panic before her headache of a step brother, he was gi
Elizabeth couldn’t believe what had just taken place the previous night, Shankar was always an asshole to her but yesterday was different. “Elizabeth, your phone is ringing” Coco voiced bringing Lizzy from her thoughts, although it was the weekend her friends kept calling as they heard about Coco. “Hey Lizzy, guess where we are?” Caro sounded excited on the phone. “At home?” “No dummy, we are outside the hospital” Caro informed. “What? Didn’t I tell you guys not to bother” Lizzy voiced “Bitch would you come get us already or do you want me to burst through the door and give you a good beating? – It’s hot out here” Kyle’s voice could be heard in the background, his words caused Lizzy to laugh. “Coco I’ll be back. I need to get my friends” she spoke before walking out of the room, she made her way towards the entrance, she could see them standing. Caro had a bouquet of flower along with a get-well fruit basket and Kyle had a
Elizabeth was battling with her mind but her body was betraying her making her wonder why? This wasn’t Jace but Shankar, the same person who was trying to make her life a living nightmare but here she was tongue tied together with him. Shankar’s hands started progressing down her face into her cleavage, somehow his fingers found their way into her shirt, and they brushed over her nipples.Elizabeth was shocked as she moaned, a smirk formed on Shankar’s lip as the kiss continued.Lizzy could feel herself wanting more of him, she pressed her body against his, they were both breathless but no one agreed to disconnect from the kiss, Lizzy wrapped her arms around him closing whatever space was left between them both. Shankar took the opportunity to start unbuttoning her shirt, leaving her bra and breast on display; Lizzy loved the feeling this was giving her but before anything else could register into her head Shankar pulled away from her causing her to whine missing the contract.He took
After Shankar walked out, Lizzy couldn’t find the strength to pick herself up from the ground where she had collapsed on, her tears ran nonstop, this was nobody’s but Maria’s fault; she wished she was old enough to pick who she could stay with. Lizzy was starting to miss her father, she needed him in her life at this point. Lizzy was suffering due to her mom’s selfishness, maybe It was better if only she wasn’t born, her mind voiced questions that she wished she could answer. She was too busy with her problems that she didn’t realize that a couple of girls were about to enter the restroom.Her thoughts were brought back to the room due to the sound of the door opening up, Lizzy stood to her feet almost immediately trying to hide in one of the stalls but it was already too late as the group of girls bust into the restroom giggling.The giggling stopped when they laid their eyes on her, Lizzy covered herself tightly wishing the ground could open up and just eat her up. “Look who we have
Jace didn’t say a word, he wrapped his arms around her, hugging her and making her feel safe, he wished he could take away her pain because he hated seeing her this way. After a few minutes of consolation, Lizzy broke the bond between them; She returned to her curled-up position.“Elizabeth” he called out, he wasn’t sure what he would say to make her feel better, “I know you don’t want to talk but I want to know what’s wrong?” he spoke softly trying not to be pushy but Lizzy just stared at the floor, at this point she really needed to talk to someone about Shankar but Jace wasn’t the right person. What exactly was she going to say to him, that she allowed her brother kiss her or that she enjoyed every bit of it and wanted more or she was disappointed that he decided to play with her?“Talk to me, I’m listening” he reassured her.Lizzy was aware that he wasn’t going to stop asking until she tells him something. “I fell while coming out of the bathroom and some seniors saw and made fun
The day ended, Elizabeth was back in her room, her back flat on the bed with her eyes staring at the ceiling trying to think only happy thoughts; she had a wonderful time with her friends but she was sacred to tell them about everything that was going on with her. She didn't want them to worry about her.She let out a sigh waiting for her dad to call back as he promised he would.Elizabeth tried not to think about what had happened in the past few days, this was just a distraction, a way for her to be happy, she pulled out her phone and began to go through the pictures they took. A smile appeared on her face.But what distracted her was different, there was a knock on her door causing Elizabeth to turn towards the door."Yes?""Hey Lizzy it's me, can I come in for a moment" Louis's voice could be heard."Yes come in, the door is opened" she replied quickly sitting up right.The door popped open r
The smile on Elizabeth’s face out weighed all the feeling of pain she felt, she had been out with both Caro and Kyle as usual. They made her forget her worries, they went to the amusement park.“Hell no, I would not be going on another rollercoaster with the both of you” Kyle voiced as he sat down to get over the nausea he was having, he could feel his head spin.“Oh come on, stop whining like a man-child we only rode one” Caro scoffed handing him a plastic bag to do his business in.“You know what, I’m starting to feel you have fun watching me suffer, don’t you think so Lizzie?” He spoke turning to Lizzy who was busy patting his back and holding back her laugher so she didn’t offend him.“I don’t think I need to get in between whatever this is” she chuckled.“Wow, great! Let’s all remember the day I was brutally stabbed in the back by two of the people I love so dearly” he spoke dramatically wiping his fake tears.“Oh please, if I would ever stab you it would never be at your back bu
The next morning Elizabeth made her way out of the house, it was the last place she wanted to be in. Luckily for her, Kyle and Caro had already prepared another beautiful hang out.Maria on the other hand was home with Coco as it was a Saturday, they both decided to arrange Coco’s room.Coco helped by picking out the clothes that were of no use to her, Maria organized the room.“Mommy?” Coco called out, Maria shifted her attention to her little girl.“Yes sweetie, what’s wrong?” She asked“Do you hate Lizzy?” She asked the question that had been bugging her since the previous night. Maria couldn’t believe her ears, she wondered why such question would be asked by Coco“No honey, I love her. What makes you think I hate her?” Maria asked.“Umm you always argue with her, you also yell at her, you make her cry.” She explained from her observation.“Sweetie come here” she called out, Coco stood to her feet making her way towards Maria who lifted her off the ground and placed her on the bed
Elizabeth stared at her self in the mirror all she could hear was the accusations from her very own mother, tears ran down her face but she quickly wiped them from her face. She proceeded to putting on her trousers before throwing a hoodie over her head, with a last stare at the mirror she was off.The entire house was silent, it was the big silence after the storm but at this point Lizzy didn’t care if anyone had seen her, she was ready to be a rebel.She successful got outside without anyone’s notice, hailing a taxi and she was on her way. Lizzy got to the address she was giving, without hesitation she made her way in, it was one of Jace’s family guesthouse, she informed the receptionist of her arrival and was directed to area where Jace was, he was sitting by the pool; the view was beautiful, the light underneath the pool gave it a glowing look.Lizzy took a sit beside him, she could clearly see he was confused as to why he was called over by her.“Are you okay?” he asked adjusting
Shankar walked into his room with a big smile on his face, he has scored another point and just a few more he was going to get them out of his life; he turned on the lights to his room. He sat on the bed with his eyes wandering to the picture sitting on his table beside his bed, it was a picture of his family. They all had a big smile in the picture which made him miss him mother even more.“Don’t worry Mom, just a little longer and they would leave. I would never allow anyone take your place here” he voiced.“I don’t think mom would be happy with what you’re doing” a calm voice spoke from the door; Shankar was engrossed in his thought that he did notice the angel standing in front of him. He lifted his head to see his baby sister.“Coco, what are you doing just standing there?” he asked extending his hand to her but she ignored him as she took a seat on his bed. He could notice the tears in her eyes.
Kyle got down from Caro’s car, his face immediately turned sour as he saw the blue Lamborghini parked in front of their home; “Are you okay?” Caro asked noticing his hesitation to go in. “Yeah I’m fine just going to miss you” he voiced with a beam, Caro nodded rolling up her window as she drove away. Kyle reluctantly walked into the house.“Kyle honey where have you been” his sister asked, Kyle took a pause turning to her, he was aware that she was going to feed him to the dogs if he walked out on her.“I was out with my friends” he replied. His eyes went towards the young man sitting beside his sister, Derrek.“But you promised to be home, Derrek’s family was coming over” she questioned, Derrek was his sister’s boyfriend, he hated him since the very first day he introduced him to the family.“Sorry, my friend was in a bad place and I needed to be there for her” he explained hoping this would get him off the hook.“Kate, you did teach him how to be thoughtful and care about his frien
