"Funny I bump into you here." She chuckled as I let go of her, "thanks for saving me." She said and put her hair up in a rough ponytail. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here for an interview, what are you doing here?" I raised an eyebrow, certain she wasn't into construction."You are? My brother owns the firm," she shrugged, "I'm not a full time therapist anyway so I come here most of the time and just hang out until I'm called upon again." Jamie informed me."Oh wow, that's interesting." I nodded."What job are you here for anyway? I could put in a few words for you, a thank you for saving my life." She winked at me, "I didn't get your name yet.""Frank. And that would be really appreciated." He wanted more construction wirkers and was going to pay eight thousand a month, that was four thousand biweekly and I could really use that. Bee would move back in and Jane wouldn't feel so bad about what had happened with Neil."AlrightJane and I jerked away from each other as though whoever was knocking had managed to come in. Jane jumped down from the counter while I picked my pants off the floor, "did you order something?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow because I wasn't expecting anyone."No." She shook her head, casually returning to her cooking while I went to answer the door for whoever it was."Who is it?" I wondered."Jamie." She called back. Jane and I exchanged confused looks but I proceeded to open the door."I didn't know we had a therapy session today." Jane came forward, "you said to call you if I needed you." She said."Yeah that was supposed to be the case but we had news that one of our clients did something to harm herself especially after assuring her therapist multiple times that she was doing fine so we were all given orders to check up on the patients, so here I am." Jamie explained herself putting her bag on the couch."Oh, well you r
Jane didn't even waste time thinking about it, she just turned on her heels and was ready to leave. I pushed Jamie, not caring that she fell and hit her head. I went after Jane who was leaving the house. I held her wrist, yanking her back and holding her shoulders tight, "Jane no." I shook my head fast, "you know I wouldn't.""That's the thing, I don't know, I don't know you that well Frank, fuck, why would I let this happen to me?" She looked away fron my eyes and my heart sunk when I saw that her eyes were filled with tears she was trying so hard to hold back.She brushed herself away from my grip and left the room.I wanted to go after her but then I saw Jamie trying to get up after somehow managing to recover herself. With clenched fists, I went to her side, knowing it would be hard to control myself from hurting this homewrecker.Why would you fucking kiss me? What was that supposed to be about? This would rid you of your license when I repo
JaneI blinked, trying to process his words but I couldn't make sense of it. My heartbeat escalated, "I don't understand." This was his chance to laugh and play it off and say it was nothing but a joke but he wore that smile again, the one where you coild tell that there was definitely something wrong."I have some stupid stuff called emphysma, don't worry I'm not dying anytime soon." He chuckled, "we will grow old and gray together." He held my hands to assure me, "i just want someone who will be a grandmother to Bianca's children for me. Come on, don't look so worried, you might have gotten bored of me before we are that old." I knew he was trying to make me feel better but it wasn't doing anything to make me feel better."What's that mean?" I referred to the condition he had said."It's a lung disease that doesn't go away." He shrugged."And what are you doing to treat it?""Health care isn't free in America, babe.""
"What's wrong?" Frank seemed to motice the look on my face."I don't know, I got an alert from my bank that I have twenty thousand dollars amd the description says For Dan but I don't...oh." I stopped in realisation."What?!" Frank shook his head, "What's it?" He was clearly not a fan of the suspense. "When Dan and I were together, he used to have this savings account but then he had an issue with it and so we were supposed to temporarily avert the money to my account but I'm guessing he must have forgotten to change it back and now that he has reached his saving goal, they've deposited the money to my account." I shook my head, "do you think I should call him and let him know?""The fuck?" Frank pulled me back so I could lay beside him, "and what nonsense are you talking about my dear?" He asked me with a chuckle, "come on now, would he even pick your phone calls? Take it as your gain from everything that bastard did to you." I couldn'
I could feel the air slowly escaping as my brain tried to place whose face the hand belonged to. I was certain I was going to pass out as the voices around me seemed to be blending into echoes and my vision was blurring away."You stole my fucking money." The voice clicked to me. It belonged to Dan, "thank God you kept your fucking location on, I don't know how I would have found you." If he thought killing me was a way to get his money back, he was fucking wrong and would likely end up in jail for the actions he was currently taking."Let her go!" I heard a voice bark before the oxygen was all of a sudden restored to me. I took loud gasps for air, coughing and feeling a burn in my throat."Are you okay?" Frank asked me, holding me to support my balance and keep me from falling off my feet.A tran of security men had swarmed up nesude us by now and they were holding Dan, taking him put of the mall without listening to what he had to say.
If Ed had not come in at that moment, I just knew I would have been dead meat. His entrance was a distraction to Dan and before Dan could pay attention to me, I was out of there and hiding behind Ed."What's going on?" He widened his eyes, looking at all the trash that the house had been converted to.Not too long after, there were police sirens around us. The police officer that showed up had gotten my phone calls and they had come to the aid.I explained myself to the first officer and they took Dan in after taking pictures of everything that had unraveled."How the fuck did he get in? That was so dangerous, he could have killed you." Ed said, looking around and shaking his head. "I don't know, i thought maybe you opened the door and let him in and then maybe he had turned everywhere upside down afterwards, this just fucking sucks." I ran my fingers through my hair, still unable to believe how much of a psychopath Dan had turned out to
"Wait, what?" I blinked in confusion."I'm just as confused as you are." He said with a shrug."Are you sure it's not a scam?" I wondered, peeking into his phone when he showed me the screen to read the content for myself and the email really was from a verified brand."This is insane!" I put my hands over my mouth, "I won't lie to you, I've never heard about this Marcello, but it sounds like it's really a big thing to happen to you!" I pulled him into a hug, forgetting all about the fact that he was still sweaty."I don't know how to feel." He ran his fingers through his hair. "Do you want to call your parents to ask them what this is about?" I said in a low voice, suddenly realising this might not be as good of a news as I thought. It would mean he had been lied to his entire life."They're gone." He sighed, "Celine is the only one I can talk to and honestly I doubt if she knows anything." He chuckled, "must explain why Celine and I loo
"What?" I repeated, waiting for the female voice on the other end to say it was a joke but she didn't. She was crying into the phone with so much pain. "What happened?!" I hopped to my feet, not sure exactly what it was I was looking for but I kept searching for flip flops, something to wear, just anything to get out of here fully dressed while Frank actively followed behind me to try to depict what had gone wrong just from the way I was behaving. "He called me that he needed a place to stay tonight that it was really urgent, he was driving all the way over and then I got a call that my son was involved in a fatal accident, I don't know if he had been over speeding or had been driving absent minded, but my son is gone." She informed me. I don't know what happened next because everything around me suddenly went pitch black.By the time I reopened my eyes, I was surrounded by Frank and Bianca and they had clearly been trying to revive me the entire time because ther
