THE NIGHTMARE" I thought you were sleeping," Markus suddenly asked me, I had not noticed that he had come out of the bathroom and without thinking I hid my phone behind me, there was nothing to hide, he had already seen me." What are you hiding?" He asked as he made his way to me." Nothing," I said but it didn't sound convincing even to me." You're hiding something, show me," Markus was now standing in front of me with his hands stretched as he demanded for what I was hiding but I refused to show him, I didn't know who this message was from but one thing I knew was that if Markus saw this message hell would break loose for whoever wished evil upon his child." Jane, hand it over," I handed my phone to Markus with the message on display and I quietly watched with my breath held as his eyes went down to my phone and everything suddenly became slow motion.There would be trouble, Markus had his jaw clenched as he read the message, his eyes were showing so much anger I felt like this r
THE MEMORIES HE HAD" Is that Fiona?" I was suddenly brought out of my thoughts by Jane's voice. Shit! She was going to start thinking things." I'm, it's…" I couldn't even form words to say to her, what do I say to a woman whom I'd been trying to mend things with when she caught me staring at the picture of another woman?" Do you still miss her?" She asked and just by the way she sounded I knew that I had just fucked things up." Look Jane it's not what you think," how did that even sound to my own ears?" You don't have to explain things to me," she said with a shrug and I didn't like that one bit." You're making conclusions that aren't true," I tried to explain," I just said you don't have to explain anything to me, Markus, it's your life, you don't have to answer to me, pictures are a way to connect to people we miss, they're memories, we wish they were here even if they hurt us, so it's okay," No it was not, she wasn't even looking at me, how could it be okay." I'm hungry, I
THE INTERROGATION " I said what I said, what are you going to do about it?" I didn't give her the chance to keep talking as I held her by her arm, she tried to pull away but my grip was tight.I pulled my phone from my pocket and called the detective." Come to my house immediately, I think we have a suspect," I said as I ended the call and dragged her into the sitting room." What do you mean suspect? What are you talking about?" She asked still struggling to free her hand but l wasn't having it." If you fucking move again, you wouldn't have the fucking chance to be proved right or wrong, I'll just set you on fire, don't try me," She knew what was better for her because she stopped struggling.I pushed her to sit on the couch, while she just watched me with her hands rubbing where I held like she was bleeding, she should just pray the interrogation proves her innocent, or else she would have blood flowing down that skin for real." What is wrong with you and your sick ass crazy bit
WHO COULD IT BE?" Are you being serious right now?" You want to blame me, why would I want to kill Preggy?" She asked fuming in anger." You just said you wished she was dead," I reminded her." That was because I was angry you fucker!!" She yelled." And your anger at me breaking up with you could have made you want to kill Jane." " I thought you were smart but you sound so dumb,"" Watch it, woman,"" Can you both just calm down," the inspector said, looking between Sofia and me." What is your name?" The inspector says as he turns to the maid who is cowering at the corner." Grace," She stuttered trying her best to hide her fear but nothing was working, she was already on the spot." Where were you at the time of the fire?" He repeated the question he had asked several times." I was in the laundry room, I mean the kitchen,..." She said as she twisted her fingers so no one could tell she was nervous. " The laundry room or the kitchen?" The detective asked." The laundry room,""
THE DEAD RETURNED I got dressed in big sweatpants and a hoodie and then I took my purse and went out of the room. I didn't care how I looked, all I wanted was to be where I could get answers. I got into the car and drove off heading to the location I had picked. I just hoped I wasn't wasting my time.When I got to the bridge where we had agreed to meet, I parked my car and stepped out. I could already see him waiting for me. He had his back to me, so I walked to him.He must have noticed me coming behind him because he turned." Hi," " I didn't come here to exchange pleasantries with you, so I'm just going to go straight to the point, tell your wife that whatever she's doing she has to stop," " What are you talking about?" He asked with confusion written on his face, did he expect me to believe he didn't know what his wife was up to? Had she just been using him like her obedient puppy?" Tell your wife to stay clear of me and my child, I don't know what games she's playing, but u
CHOOSING HERI looked between Markus and the woman who had at one time been his everything, it was as if seeing her was all a dream. I couldn't believe that she was in front of me. Just some days ago Markus was telling me of how he was over her. Could he keep to those words now that she had somehow found her way into his life?He looked as surprised as I was, he hadn't moved or said anything and none of them had noticed my presence.Should I make myself known or should I just go?" Markus," I called but he didn't respond.Fiona turned to me with a sharp look in her eyes. I was familiar with this type of look, but I wasn't going to let her intimidate me. She didn't have the right to be here." Markus, are you okay?" I asked and to my utmost surprise when Markus spoke I didn't recognize his voice nor did I believe the words he just said to me. " Jane, wait outside, " What did he need to speak to her about? She caused him pain and now she was standing right in front of him, what more di
THE HOCKEY GAME I was awoken by the ringing of my phone, I didn't know why but my whole body ached. It must be the stress of seeing Markus's first love again, the fear that filled my body knowing that I could lose him and even myself.The phone kept ringing and I grudgingly stretched my hand to get it. The screen displayed Hardin. I've been a really bad friend, I've not spoken to him for quite a long time and still, he cared to check up on me." Hey Hardin," I said but immediately cleared my throat when I realized my voice was rough." Were you sleeping?" He asked and when I turned to the clock I saw that it was almost afternoon. Why did I sleep for so long? Why didn't anybody wake me up?I rose from the bed with my phone to my ear as I walked towards the bathroom." I'm so sorry Hardin, there has been a lot going on in my life and it's all weighing on me," I said to him with a sigh as I opened the bathroom door and got in, as I passed the mirror on the wall I couldn't help but look
BACK TO HIS EX LOVER I just couldn't focus after Markus left, my mind kept wondering what must have gone wrong. I wanted to call him but I stopped myself, whatever had made him run off like that must be serious and I wouldn't want to bother him.I willed myself to focus back on the game and keep on cheering for Hardin.The game ended with a 6-4 The Black Eagles won and I shouted at the top of my lungs glad that my friend won.Fans were cheering and running over to the players while both teams still congratulated each other, it was good to watch.I was surprised when Hardin left all his fans and made his way to me." I'm glad we won, you know I was worried we wouldn't win this first time you came to watch me, but I guess you're my good lucky charm," He said as he bumped his fist with mine. He looked around as if he was looking for something and I was confused not until he spoke." Where is your Mr possessive?" He asked, referring to Markus and I couldn't help but laugh, was that what
