Getting Through

Lisa stirred awake. Her head ached badly and her body felt numb. She groaned faintly and opened her eyes slowly.

Her eyes fluttered as she took in the seemingly familiar settings.

"This isn't my hotel room? Where the hell am I?" She thought and sprang up from her sleep.

She hugged herself as the feeling of deja vu took over her. "Oh no! This isn't happening! Not again!" She fidgeted and threw the covers open to check herself.

She heaved a sigh of relief and rushed off the bed. That was when she scanned the room. She squinted as realization dawned on her. Pieces of the day's events flashed through her head hazily and she groaned.

"My bedroom? No way!" Lisa yelled in horror. "I can't face Alex now... I haven't caught the culprit... I have to get out of here," she whimpered and dived for the door.

The door swung open just as she placed her hand on the lock. She pulled back and Alex emerged. He was holding a cup of freshly prepared oat.

"It's my recipe for a hangover," he said casually.

It was the back view of a man. "Who are you!? What do you want from me?!" Benny put up a bold front."I put up with you because you seemed to be a good man, but you crossed the line when you threatened me." Cole responded."Mr Clinton Cole?" Benny asked in astonishment. Cole turned around slowly and Benny shook slightly."You caused this?" Benny asked and touched the bandage wound around his head."It was an accident," Cole said and looked away.Benny heaved a sigh. He realized he just got entangled with a dangerous man. He needed to get out of this mess.

Jane yelled and knelt impulsively on her bed."What the heck!" She muttered and rubbed her palms against each other as she took a look.Her temples burrowed as realization dawned on her. She leapt off the bed carelessly but staggered backwards and fell back on the bed.She lifted up her head in dismay as familiar footsteps approached her room. "Father!" She groaned and fell on her knees."Who is responsible for your pregnancy!?" Cole yelled coldly. Jane refused to respond rather she continued to groan."Unveil him!"

He made his way into the sitting room and stood tall before Patrick."Why did you arrive together with Jane? Did you invite her down?" Cole asked Patrick."Yes and no. You wanted her home and she wanted to come see me as well," Patrick responded."Do you mean we should let Jane know about Jeff? I think it's not necessary.
