Chapter 2: The Loss

*

I took one last step up as I opened the enclosed room that was reserved for VIP guests only.

I opened the door and what I saw shook me to my bones. In a private room full of drinks and also women, sat my boyfriend with two of his friends and his personal guard.

My boyfriend sat in the middle of the long couch making out with a girl on his lap and one hand grouping the breast of another girl by his left and another girl feeling him and the girl on his lap up.

I could feel the bail on in my throat and the anger within me rise as I watched in horror... I kept telling me myself it wasn't true but they were right in front of me.

And when I had enough, I stormed in, threw the girl off his lap, dragged him up and gave him a good slap across his face.

Hugo looked at me in terror but not the fearful type, he drew me by my dress and lifted me off the ground.

"How dare you, you dare to interrupt me and then you slap me across the face, you've got some nerve bitch." Hugo spit the words in my face.

I struggled in his arm as I was above the ground trying to breath.

"Dude, she going to pass out, chill a bit." one of his friends said.

Hugo looked at me in pure disgust before he threw me to the ground. I gasped for breath as I coughed holding my neck.

Once I calmed down a bit I looked up and saw him sneering at me.

"You got lucky I didn't kill you bitch." Hugo said as he walked back to his friends.

"Hugo!!! What the hell is this, what did I ever do to you. I've always been a faithful and supportive girlfriend, why are you doing this to me and on our anniversary??" I cried out.

And the next thing that happened was so shocking to me that it felt like a bucket of ice water was being dumped on me. He laughed. Not just any kind of laugh but a menacing laugh, deep from his throat.

"What the hell are you talking about, there was nothing between us to begin with." Hugo said as he relaxed into the chair. I looked at him confused.

"What do you mean, we've been together since high school, you can't say that." I said trying to stand up straight.

"And why would I date a dumbass like you, I mean look how many years it took for you to realize that you're worthless to my life. I mean you have a fine ass and all but that's about it and I thought your good girl persona would rub off on me but it got boring really fast." He said looking bored as he took a sip from a glass one of the girls were holding.

"You can't be serious, y-you told me, you....that you loved me, that I was the only real and loyal person you knew." I said still trying to hold on to a thread of hope.

"Don't be stupid, all you were good for was a good fuck and I'd still do other girls before I'd come to you." Hugo said without even looking at me.

His words instantly broke my heart, I mean what made me think I had a chance with the richest guy in town, at the end it was my body he wanted and not me.

I can't believe he slept with countless girls when we were together, who knows what he has given me, at the thought I started itching like crazy trying to get all his dirt off me.

"Dude, I think she's lost it, you sure 'bout this one?" one of the guys in the room asked.

"I wouldn't bring her here if she wasn't good, I got very high standard man." Hugo said as it dawned on me that they were talking about me.

I lunched up as I grabbed Hugo by his hair screaming and hitting him with my free hand. I felt alot of hand tugging at me but only reacted when someone grabbed me by my hair and tossed me off Hugo after giving me a tight slap.

Everything went silent for about five seconds moving in slow motion, I could see Hugo being held back by his friends with a broken bottle in his hand, I looked away and saw l one of the girls screaming out the door.

Before I knew what was going on I was being lifted off the ground, I looked and saw Tony, I guess he was trying to say something but I couldn't hear anything. Before I knew it my vision became blurry and I'm sure I passed out.

I woke up in an unfamiliar room with my head throbbing in pain, I lifted up my hand to my head and noticed it was bandaged. I tried to understand what was going on while the door opened.

"Good, your are awake, take this," I didn't know who he was but he passed me what I think was an aspirin and a glass of water, without looking at his face I took the pill as I drowned the water after and felt a little better.

I looked around again at what looked like a small locker room, I could hear music from afar and wondered where I was.

"You are in the club staff room, Tony said to check on you so don't worry you're safe." The unknown man said.

"In the club..." I said quietly as I remembered everything that had just happened, I could feel the anger rise still in me as a tear escaped my eyes.

"How long have I been out?" I asked in a quiet voice.

"I think you should-" 

"How long have I been out?" I screamed cutting him off.

"30 minutes give or take." he answered.

I looked around, picked up my bag and shoes as I got up to leave but the man held me by my wrist.

"It's late, I don't think you should be going around by this time." I looked back at the unknown man and he looked young for a bouncer.

I dragged my hand away as in stomped out of the room and ran out of the club. I had no idea how long I ran but I guess it was a long while since I couldn't hear the music anymore and my feet began to hurt really bad since I ran without shoes on.

I stopped in my tracks as threw my head ba to the sky and a rain drop acted as a tear as it slid off my face and before I knew it began raining.

It didn't really bother me much so I just continued under the rain, besides I was tired, I had just gotten my heart ripped out of my chest, nothing else could possibly be worse than this.

At that moment I felt my phone vibrate in my purse, I got it out and checked the ID and saw it was from Mom, I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone so I just ignored it, besides I already know what she was going to ask and I really don't have the energy to talk right now.

But the calls because consistent and I decided to find shelter so I could take the call. I found shelter under the drab over a flower shop as I took the call.

"Hello, Am I speaking with Adira Alexander?" I didn't recognize the voice over the phone, this was definitely not my mom.

"Yes, I am Adira Alexander, could you please tell me why you're with my mom's phone." I asked the person.

"Please calm down, I am officer Donald, you see there was a clash between gangs at Area T and your family was just involved in a gasly accident claiming the lives of both your parents and leaving your brother with third degree burns and in a coma. I'm sorry miss." The officer said from the other side of the phone.

Just when I thought this night couldn't get any worse, I just got news that could end my life, I didn't want to believe the officer so I tried again.

"I'm sure you have the wrong number officer, my family went over to visit a relative of mine over at Area T, which is one of the safest areas around" I said shaking vigorously.

"I'm sorry ma'am, the bodies are at the general hospital in Area S. My condolences." And with that the line went dead.

I slumped on the floor in front of the shop and I let out a scream, this couldn't be happening to me, what ever did I do wrong, if I hadn't come for this worthless date tonight I would still have my family. 

I screamed blaming myself for everything, I lost my boyfriend because I was too good, in lost my family because didn't care enough, and now my brother is hanging thin thread to life.

At the thought of my brother, a dim light of hope lit in me, I wasn't completely alone, I'd do anything to keep him safe, even if I had to get my hands dirty.
