I was still weeping badly into my pillow when the nice doctor walked in.
"Hey" he greeted but I was in no mood for a greeting so I just ignored him and continued to weep silently.
"Are you seriously going to ignore me and continue crying?" He asked but I still did not respond. He couldn't understand nor know how I was feeling right now for he was not in my shoes. He wasn't abandoned by his whole family, he wasn't betrayed by someone he thought was a friend.
"Seriously?" he asked again and I decided to reply by turning to him in complete fury.
"If you know you are going to keep pestering me, please leave me alone and make use of the door," I said before turning back to continue soaking my already wet pillow in tears.
"Wow!"He exclaimed, disbelief obvious in his tone.
"You kind of feisty," He commented but I ignored him. I had better things to worry about than a sarcastic compliment.
' How was I going to survive? I had no idea' I thought bitterly.
"I understand you are going through a lot right now but crying or should I say soaking that pillow in tears isn't going to solve anything," He said but I still ignored him.
"Are you seriously going to continue to willow yourself in self-pity?" He asked raising his voice a little and that pissed me off.
"Excuse me but how is that any of your business?" I asked raging.
"You have no idea of what I have been through, I am being abandoned by everyone I know at the age of 18 and yet you said I should not wallow in self-pity" I yelled thinking he would be mad at my outburst but he only just smirked and then said.
"I do admit I know nothing about what is going but from my point of view, it looks like some sort of a family Crisis and if you are going to allow such a little thing to break you, then I guess I can say I am disappointed that you aren't the feisty lady I thought you were" He added making me wonder if this doctor is crazy.
I mean how can he tell me he is disappointed, did I ask him not to be and how can all that have happened not break me? I was set up by my blood sister, raped by her boyfriend who I thought was my hero in this evil world, and tossed aside and disowned by my parents.
I mean this doctor here completely has no idea of what I was going through and yet he has the guts to try and guilt trip me.
'He must be insane' I thought in disbelief.
"You have no idea or knowledge about what I am going through right now," I said as I moved to sit up and lay my head against the wall.
"So you can't come here and tell me you are disappointed in me for not being strong, I have been strong enough through high school and some years in college when I was being bullied 24/7" I added.
" Why?" He asked with a grimace.
"Why?"I repeated.
"Because I was a nerd and a very ugly one at that, just so I could get the world to accept me, I decided to sacrifice my dreams of being a historian and a writer to become a Nun. Just so at least to get my parent's approval." I explained.
"And I did, it was fun while it lasted but of course every princess must have an evil Antagonist and I did" I chuckled sadly.
"But mine was my sister, my Elder sister who was supposed to pamper me and treat me like a jewel," I added, with heavy tears at the brim of my eyes.
I felt intense pain as I was narrating my ordeal to the nice doctor. I felt my heart sneezing in badly at the thought of my family being the cause of my present situation.
"So you see," I said as I finished narrating all my ordeal to him.
"You don't know what I going through or passing through at this moment so I kindly like you to please be less judgemental," I told him as I moved my hands to clear away my tears which were already rolling down my cheeks but that wasn't enough because they kept falling.
" Here," said the nice doctor as he handed me a handkerchief to wipe my tears away. I was shocked but accepted it anyway to wipe my face.
"Thanks" I muttered as I wiped my entire face with the kerchief. Looks like the doctor isn't so bad. I gave him a great name "the nice doctor" I thought and giggled.
I decided to fully scan him and realized he was a man in his late forties or fifties. He has a white short bread, Hazel eyes with a fully, relaxed and caring face.
I suddenly felt better after confiding in him.
"Mind sharing what's funny?," he asked with a straight face but I just nodded my head sideways meaning No.
"You really shouldn't waste your beautiful tears on them," He said. "They don't deserve it" He added.
"Well, they are my parents, and am not a cold person or a sadist to not cry when I was abandoned by them," I told him feeling teary once again. I tried my best to blink away my tears.
"You know" He began.
"I think that is the more reason why you should not cry. Avoid them and pretend that they do not exist" He added making me frown.
. "But that's not possible," I said.
"It is," He said with a shrug.
"It's not" I argued.
"Well, it is. He said. "I know a lot of people who do that, it's technically simple"He added.
"Well, it's not for me" I argued raising my voice a little at him.
"Am sorry" I apologized when I raised how harsh I was sounding.
"It's okay", he said smiling at me making me feel guilty.
"It's just that I don't understand how you expect me to pretend the people I have known my entire life, my family don't exist"I added.
"That's where you are getting it wrong again Acapella," he said calling my name without the use of any formality and that surprised me.
"After all these people did to you, they don't deserve to be in your life not to talk of being called your family"He added.
"But they are the only ones I have, I have no one apart from them, "I said innocently.
"Don't you get it?" he yelled angry now.
"They aren't in your life anymore, they have left," He said. "You have no one now" He added pricking my heart with his words.
"Well then I will go home and beg them, I am sure they would have cooled off by then so they would be able to listen to my explanation" I argued stupidly refusing to believe his words.
" Are you dumb?"He asked looking at me in total disbelief.
"You want to go and apologize for something you didn't do?" He yelled, his eyes widening in shock.
I am so excited to meet you all my readers, and can't wait to hear your thoughts about my book and on each Chapters. Love you all.
" Are you dumb?"He asked looking at me in total disbelief. "You want to go and apologize for something you didn't do? he yelled. "Well yes. If an apology is all it takes for me to get accepted back into my family, then yes. I will go and apologize. Life hasn't been fair to me anyway" I replied while looking down at the white bedspread over me. "It isn't life which hasn't been fair to me, it's your stupidity and nativity that brought you to this situation you are" he explained making me turn to arch an eyebrow at him. "How can you be so dumb and stupid to think they would accept you back after brutally abandoning you and leaving you to your fate here?" he asked with his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. "They are my family, they didn't mean what they said here. I am very sure of that" I argued. "How many times will I tell you this person isn't your family anymore?" he asked. "Families don't abandon one another, they support no matter the situation you ar
I reared back in shock at the look on her face and whispered trembling." Mum!" I called out." Don't you dare?" She yelled. " How could you hurt your elder sister? She has done nothing towards you" She said and I gasped." No mum, I di......" I tried explaining but she shut me up. " Will you just shut up?" She asked not willing to listen to my explanation. I turned to look at Cruella who was still on the floor pretending to wince in pain while lying on the floor. threw me a smirk when our eyes met which I returned with a glare." You still have the guts to glare at her in my presence," My mum said with a gasp." I raised you badly, didn't I?" She asked rhetorically. " Mum" I called sadly but she ignored me tending to Cruella instead. " Mummy, please do not be harsh on her. She does not know what she is doing and I am sure she did not mean to" Cruella explained pretending to try and protect me but pushing me deeper into trouble instead.As I expected, Mum frowne
I stood there dazed, my clothes pooled at my feet. I gave a sad little smile as I let it sink into me what type of people I had as a family and how right the nice doctor was the day before.' I guess I should have listened to him and not come' I thought sadly. I stood there for several hours until it started drizzling and not because I was expecting or wishing for the door to open and my mum to welcome me into her open arms or maybe deep down, I do wish that but the reality was, I wanted this betrayal and abandoning to sink in. ' It was time I moved on and forgot them like they have now' I thought and somehow wished the door would fly open and Mum or Cruella would at least tell me to get in since it was beginning to rain but who was I kidding?They did not care. I made my way out of the estate in the rain while also trying not to break down into tears again. I was starting to annoy myself. ' Why do I cry at every little thing?' I wondered. " I guess that is wh
ACAPELLA'S POV. " What is going on?" I wondered in absolute shock. This was not the Doctor Robert I know. This man looks older and his face has wrinkles and he has half bald hair with the sides covered in grey hairs. ' Maybe the nurse made a mistake and went to get you another Doctor Robert?' My subconscious suggested and I nodded agreeing to her words. ' Maybe!' " Excuse me young lady" The old man called and I raised my head to look at him. " Yes?" I answered. " Is everything alright?" He asked and I nodded. " Of course, why do you ask?" I threw back a question at him. " Well, I read your file before coming here since I am actually in charge of you but I had an accident. A minor one actually and another doctor was assigned to you" He began explaining and I started to feel somehow confused like something was not right. " He was originally the doctor in charge of me?" I wondered. " Then who was the doctor taking care of me before his arrival?" I wondered. " Oh, D
ACAPELLA'S POV. I hastily took the white envelope which surprisingly felt heavy and bulky making me wonder what was in it.' Could a letter be as heavy as this?' I wondered. I turned it around to find out who it was addressed to and found my name. " To Dear Acapella" was written on it. I was amused for I had no friends who might want to write to me. ' Just haters' I thought and shivered as goosebumps covered my entire body. " Could they perhaps be the one?" I muttered in fear as I turned the letter around again to find out whether the name of the address was on it.' Could this probably be a letter of curse?' I wondered." Tch" My subconscious scoffed. " How can your haters address you as Dear Acapella?" She asked and I felt she was right.' They could not be the one' I thought and started wondering who could have been the sender for it had no name of the person. ' Should I perhaps ask one of the nurses who might have delivered this?' I wondered." I doubt you should"
ACAPELLA'S POV. I slowly opened the seal on the envelope and poured the contents onto my lap curiously. I wanted to see what on earth was making the envelope so bulky. What I saw next made me gasp in astonishment. Apart from the letter which spilled onto my lap, bundles of money also followed. I quickly placed my right palm over my mouth to prevent me from screaming. I then slowly picked up the bundles of money lying on my lap one by one with trembling hands completely ignoring the letter or should I say forgetting about it. ' Who is kind enough to send me such a huge amount of money?' I wondered in amusement for I had no friends nor families. Just haters. " Why don't you go through the letter" My subconscious suggested. " Perhaps you might find some clues" She encouraged and I nodded. I slowly took the letter from my lap and opened it. I took a deep breath before I started reading the contents aloud. " Hey Acapella" The writer greeted. " I know despite trying to co
OMINISCIENT'S POV. In a dimly lit underground basement, Three guys can be seen under the light lamp playing games of snooker with each of them having a lit cigarette in their mouth. " Fuck you Romano" The huge guy amongst them cursed. " I was supposed to have that," He said with a twisted expression of envy as he watched Romano, the youngest of them pack up all the bundles of money laid on the table with a happy grin on his face. " Do not be greedy Casio" The thin tall guy amongst them warned." You have been stacking us and winning for days now" He reminded him and Casio turned to glare at him with fury. " Seems like today is his day and luck has hit him, let him enjoy it," Jack, the talk, thin one who was the only American amongst them said. " Piss off white" Casio cursed in Italian hitching for a fight but Jack being the gentle, calm one who despises trouble just shrugged ignoring Casio's insulting words. " Easy there you two," Romano said trying to calm Casio down.
ACAPELLA'S POV. ITALY.FEW MONTHS AFTER. "Acapella, Acapella". Evelyn Johnson, the manager of this cafe, A beautiful warm woman in her early forties called out to me." Yes, Mrs Johnson" I answered leaving what I was doing and rushing up to her to answer her calls." Please, can you take the orders from those two young men over there?" She pleaded, pointing with her fingers to two unfamiliar faces a few feet from us, sitting by the corner of the window and kinda hidden from clear sight. " Of course, Mrs Johnson" I answered flashing her a bright smile." Thank you so much" She appreciated. " You are such a darling" She added with a smile and I nodded before turning to leave when she suddenly held me by one of my arms. I turned to look at her in alarm." Is anything the problem?" I found myself asking." No dear" She replied. " I just want to ask you how many times I have told you to call me just Evelyn?" She commented and I gave a shy giggle." But you are way older than me" I
ACAPELLA'S POV."Austin, please don't" I pleaded as I struggled frantically against him. I was back in New York, in Austin's apartment, struggling against him. He refused to heed my pleas and kept on trying to undress me when I struggled to release one of my hands from his hold and punched him. " Fuck, This bitch has broken my nose" I heard a guy groan in pain and snapped my eyes open in shock.' This was not how Austin sounded' I thought and suddenly, flashbacks from a few hours ago hit me, and I realized, I was not in New York City nor Austin's mansion. I sighed in relief, before trying to scan my surroundings well. I realized, I was in a dark alley, right on the ground, and my top was torn by the side. I gasped realizing, I was not dreaming nor hallucinating about an intruder trying to pull my clothes off me. I looked to my front and saw two guys, which shockingly, I recognized to be the two guys from the cafe earlier.' You' I pointed out to the red-haired guy and h
ACAPELLA'S POV. I could hear screams as I and Isabella walk into the concert. I was surprised by the multitudes standing and wondered how we were ever going to see the singer if the crowds were so much, to the extent of blocking our views." What is the essence of coming, if we are not going to see the so-called singer?" I turned to ask Isabella, who was grinning happily. Excitement was boldly written on her expression." Oh!" She whined. " You should know me by now" She added and I threw her a confused look, wondering what she meant this time. But before I could ask, she dragged me by my arm, to the front, pushing away some ladies." What are you doing Isabella?" I gasped, shocked at my friend's crazy behavior. Some ladies tumbled on their heels, and almost fell flat to their faces due to how Isabella was pushing." Watch it bitch" Some of the ladies yelled, and I turned around slowly to see them, glaring at us with their eyes full of hatred. My crazy friend, on
OMNISCIENT'S POV. In an underground Club, music can be heard blaring from the speakers and dancers can be seen whinnying themselves on the pole giving the horny men in the club a show with their seductive dancing and explosive lingeries. Cigarette smoke can be sighted here and there. Some men by the corner can be seen sniffing a whitish substance from the paper passed to them. Moans can be heard from another corner as some men do pleasurable things to the waitresses going around and serving them drinks. Meanwhile, In a concealed office, behind a huge desk sat a masked guy. A different type of mask this time, but with the Skull diagram drawn on it. A lit cigarette was in his mouth and smoke can be seen coming out from his nostril and mouth. He was finally relaxed in his swivel chair facing the wall and backing his desk. He was fully dressed in his signature Color." Black". The door burst open and in came his second in command, A stoic and disciplined man in his
ACAPELLA'S POV. Everyone went back to what they were doing previously after the blonde-haired guy and his minion left. I and Isabella also thanked everyone for their help earlier." You two, be careful," Jack said addressing I and Isabella." Especially you" He added while pointing at me and I nodded." He seems intent on his threat, so you guys better watch your backs," Jack told us." Do not worry Jack" Isabella said. "As I told him earlier, he can't do shit" She assured." He is just rubbing off with the mouth" She added and I giggled." You cannot say so" Jack nudged her. " A man can do anything when he is railed" He reminded us." And with the way, I was looking at him earlier, the guy was beyond pissed" Jack added." You do not think he will carry out his threat, do you?" I asked Jack and he shrugged." I cannot say for sure" He answered me." I do not think he will, Cops are always patrolling 24 hours straight," Isabella said." Which is why I told her, I cannot say for
