Ember sat outside on a bench. She took out her phone and she called Sophie's number. "Hello"Ember said."Hey Ember, how are you doing?" Sophie asked. The last time they spoke was when Ember went to meet with her, they hadn't yanked since then so Sophie did not know about what was happening now."I don't know, Sophie."She said."What do you mean?"She asked. She was starting to get worried now, maybe that's because she thought of the worst happening to her."Well, you see I had made my decision that I was leaving today but I couldn't. Axle broke the bank card that his mother gave me, because she was very happy that I had finally taken the decision to leave her son. He begged me to stay but he still did not give me a reason that I wanted to hear because he suddenly fell to the ground."She said."Alright first of all you are not good at explaining a certain situation, second, what the fuck do you mean, by him falling on the ground?"She asked. She was starting to panic now, she just hoped
It was noon the next day, Ember and Payton sat in the living room waiting for Dr Lee to arrive. Axel's father left early in the morning because he had something that needed his attention at his company, but he promised that he was going to be back a little earlier than usual.Ember was shaking in fear, the fear of knowing now that Dr Lee was the same doctor that tried to take advantage of her three years ago. This has been on her mind since the previous day. She only slept for two hours last night. She kept on thinking about everything, her heart was racing for almost the entire night. She was sweating, even though the air conditioner was on. She tried telling herself that it was a different Dr Lee but she was not going to know until she looked at him properly, but even if he was that Dr Lee, who was she going to tell? Because it's not like they were going to believe her without solid proof. The police did not believe her either, so nobody was going to believe her now.A few minutes
Ember woke up with her body feeling heavy. She had a killer headache too. She had been feeling like this ever since Dr Lee injected those herbs into her. She had told him that she was sick but he just said that it was nothing to worry about and that it would go away in no time, but it has already been three days now. He had given her some pills for the headache but they only worked for a day and then the next morning she would wake up with the headache and her body would be heavy and exhausted too.Ember looked at the right side of the bed and she noticed that Axle was still sleeping. Axle had to stay in bed until Dr Lee said so. Ember did not like it though, but she had no choice. Axle was unable to walk properly now so he had to use a wheelchair if he wanted to go somewhere, which was something that made Ember worry even more about him. It just made her question if Axle was going to be normal again after the treatment.He looked so peaceful when sleeping. His skin wasn't pale anymor
Ember walked into the room with a tray that has plates that were filled with of food in her hands. She put the tray on the small table in front of the couches. She then went into the bathroom, where she found Axle tying his robe while leaning on the kitchen sink. He looked like he was struggling but not much. "Do you need a hand?"Ember asked, walking closer to him."Well I could need help walking back into the room."Axle said, smiling weakly. Ember walked closer to him and she helped him to walk back into the room and she helped him to sit on the couch."I'll go and get your body lotion and your clothes."Ember said and she stood up from the couch. She made her way into the closet and she took a white t-shirt, grey shorts and the body lotion. She walked back into the room and she put the clothes on the bed. "You forgot my underwear again."He said."Sorry, I'll go and get it."She said and then she ran back into the closet, she opened the drawer where he kept his underwear and she took
THREE WEEKS LATER"OH look who's back."Payton said rolling her eyes as soon as she saw Ember entering the house. "Hood evening mother-in-law. It'ssuch a beautifulevening isn't it?"Ember said with a smile on her face, probably doing it to annoy Payton. Payton just shook her head."Of course you would say that."Payton said."And what is that supposed to mean?"She asked."You know I remember that you told me that I was a horrible mother a few weeks ago, but now I don't know who's horrible between the two of us."She said. Ember looked confused."I still don't understand what you are trying to say."Ember said."Today was the day that Dr Lee was supposed to start with the treatment but you decided to wake up in the morning and just go out with your friends. You are lucky that Dr Lee was able to keep Axle alive for the time that you were gone."Payton said. Ember had completely forgotten that it was the day. If she had remembered then she wouldn't have gone out with Sophie for the high schoo
Axle laid down on the bed panting while Ember rested her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat. She moved her finger around Axle's Sixpack. His body still felt cold but Ember tried as hard as she possibly could to ignore it. She just wanted to lay there and enjoy the moment. "How do you have so much energy even when you are not well?"Ember asked."I don't know… Ember can I ask you something?"Axle asked, moving his hand up and down her head slowly and smoothly."Yeah, go ahead."She said."Do you still love me?"He asked. Ember was a bit taken back, she was not expecting Axle to ask her that question. She sat up straight on the bed and she looked at him. He looked at her waiting for her to give him an answer, but she was not sure. She had never asked herself that question, so she didn't think about it. She didn't know if she loved him, if she genuinely loved him, she was not sure what it is that she felt for Axle now, whether it was love, hatred or something else."I…''She paused
Ember finished up showering and she walked out of the bathroom, with a towel wrapped around her body. She found Axle sitting on the bed and he seemed to be busy with something on his laptop because he looked serious and focused. Ember thought that he was not supposed to work until he had fully recovered but she knew that she could not stop him from doing his work so she did not even bother trying to. She closed the bathroom door. Axle lifted his head as soon as he heard her close the bathroom door. He smiled at her, he just could not imagine himself parting ways with her."Why are you looking at me like that?"She asked, smiling back at him."Nothing, I am just looking at the beautiful woman standing in front of me."He said. Ember shook her head, rolling her eyes at him."Thanks for the compliment, what are you doing?"She asked, pointing her finger in the direction of the laptop."Just doing some work, I want to finish to up before my recovery, so that I won't have a load of work after
Ember continued walking until.she was at least an hour away from the mansion. She checked the time on her phone and she saw that it was already 3am. She knew that she had to go back sooner, because it was already too late and she was shivering like crazy, but she believed that she still needed time.She continued walking for about a few minutes and then a car stopped right in front of her. She instantly recognized that car, it belonged to Dean. The last person she wanted to see right now or at any time. Dean got out of his car, he had a smile on his face. Ember wondered what he could be doing on the streets so late at night. He walked closer to her and he just hugged her. Ember quickly pushed him off. "What the hell are you doing?"Ember asked."I am just glad to see you, Ember. Do you know how much I've missed you? What are you doing out here at this hour? Did you finally realise that that fool Axle is not good enough for you and you decided to get back together with me?"He asked. Emb
