26th of April

Eggust's POV My mom woke up this morning and as usual I was expecting her to go back to sleep but she didn’t, even after one hour, meaning she was fully awake. And this was the final proof that the surgery was successful. I was worried about her not being fully awake for the past two days but the doctor assured me that it wasn’t abnormal for patients her age after a surgery. "Hello mum." She smiled back and caressed my cheek. Her eyes regained their focus and I noticed a look of surprise on her face as she recognized me. She struggled to sit up. "No mum. You can't sit up yet." I tried to push her back down but she struggled so I let her sit up. After taking a few moments to recover, she turned and stared at me with a frown and my heart dropped. Oh fuck! We weren’t on good terms before the accident and since she hadn’t been awake for more than a few minutes for the last two days I had not had to worry about our discord before now. Did she remember that now that sh

Her diagnosis

Eggust's POV Alarm bells went off in my head. The 26th of April!!! The 26th of freaking April! How the hell did that happen? "Mom..." I started but the doctor quickly jumped in. Apparently he had noticed that something was wrong. "Please excuse us for a minute." he said to us and we stepped out. He spoke to her for a while and then wheeled her out for checkups. After about an hour of tests and consultations, he invited me to his office. I stood up from the waiting area to go in with Ezekiel but he refused to let him come in. "Family members only." he told us. I turned to look at him then at Ezekiel, and replied, "Well if Ezekiel isn't family then I don't know who is." After asking me a few questions about what had happened between my mum and Juss in the last few months, he gave his diagnosis. "She had Localized amnesia." Ezekiel frowned. "I thought she had dissociative amnesia." I turned to look at him, then back at the doctor. "What does that mean?"

The arms of dispair

Hera's POV It was an awfully long journey. What made it even more awful was the fact that I was stressed out, hyperactive and I had no idea where I was going. Well, I did in a way but it was merely from descriptions. I first heard about the safe house from Isla. I had no idea how she'd heard about it or become a member there but she had mentioned it on one of those nights when depression came like a summer's rain. "If I ever needed to disappear for a while, go off the grid, somewhere even the cops wouldn't be able to find me, I'd go to The Safe house." I was more than a little drunk but not so much that I couldn't understand what she was saying and carry on the conversation. "What's The Safe house? Does such a place really exist?" I asked her, dreamily. "Yes it does. If I ever get a big break and land myself some millions or even thousands of pounds, something enough to settle me and keep me out of this business, it would be nice. And I don't care how I get the money. I

Mistakes and regrets

Juss. Finding Marlani in the state that she was that day, enveloped me with an overwhelming guilt, knowing that my best friend could have died, while I was the most hated person on her list, was something I could not get over. She looked so frail, so delicate, like she was going to break at any moment, and it would only take the slightest push. It was all my doing. She trusted me and I betrayed her, I broke her, I broke my best friend, and it was too late to make her whole again, not that I would be able to even if I tried. I ruin things rather than fix them. I wanted to go back to the hospital to see how she was doing, but I was a coward. I was even tempted to call Eggust at some point, but I didn’t want to ignite a fire I couldn't put out. Today was the first day I left my hotel room in days. I ordered literally everything and never left the door of my room. Luckily for me, the hotel had no issues with external services. Standing at the parking lot of the hotel, waiti

Happy and worried

Juss's POV After sixteen missed calls from Eggust and Ezekiel combined, I decided to switch off my phone and rest for the entire day but I didn't go through with it. They both used their real numbers. A smile crept onto my face as I remembered when I thought Eggust would use an unknown number just to talk to me. But he was too proud to do that. But why would they call me sixteen times? Sixteen! I knew Ezekiel was calling as well because Eggust was trying to talk to me but since I wasn't giving him the time of the day, he wanted me to think there was an emergency and come running. Nope! Wouldn't work on me. I refused to fall for such a cheap trick. When I heard the chime signaling a new text message, I looked at the chair in the corner where I’d thrown my phone for fear of giving in to the temptation to pick up the phone and just listen to Eggust say; 'hello'. Sighing, I stood up and went there, paused for a while to brace myself before bending to pick up the pho

Sylvester, grandfather and Juss

Marlani. The room was dark when I woke up, I stretched my hand to feel Juss’ body, but instead, it fell on the fabric of an empty bed. I reached out more, stirring my hand through the darkness. I squinted my eyes, in a bid to find Juss even in the darkness. But all I could see on the chair she once sat was nothing. She was here before I went to bed, how did she suddenly disappear. My heart suddenly felt attacked by a roar of panic. There’s been a lot of strange happenings lately, and for some reason, I happened to be at the center of it. "What is going on?" I asked within me. At that time, some light casted of by the rising sun was beginning to float in the room through the window. My eyes became, as it should, accustomed to the light, and I could then see; an empty room. There was still no sign of Juss or Eggust. He did say he was coming to see me, and if he couldn’t make it, he would have sent Ezekiel to me, he wouldn’t just keep me in the dark. “Or would he?” I

Emergency situation

Hera. “Good day, Sir, please do you have change to spare?” I asked a passerby in a quivering voice. The man ignored me without sparing a single glance. “Idiot!” I muttered under my breath. “Hello, ma’am, please can you spare me some change, I haven’t eaten anything in days,” I said to a woman who just came out of the restaurant I was standing in front of. Her eyes narrowed sharply at me in disapproval that I let out a gasp and clenched my fist. Ignoring me, she went straight to the security guard. “Excuse me, I thought this is a five star restaurant, why are homeless people disturbing your customers?” She continued rambling about how I had been harassing her and when she was done, she glared at me before leaving. I could tell from her countenance that she was disgusted by my presence. I thought she was a nice lady, but I thought wrong. Rich people are just the same everywhere. They make money from the poor and treat them like some plague that should be wiped awa

The devil

Eggust's POV The crazy bitch was harder to find a needle in a haystack. It was unbelievable. I had the best team looking for her, eyes and ears in every corner on every street in the whole damned country, so why couldn't I find her? It had to be one of two things; one, she already estimated what would happen and how everything would turn out and so had everything in place beforehand. Or two, she had someone helping her and that someone or people were people in high places. I had been looking for her for more than three weeks! Three whole fucking weeks! It was almost a month since the accident, my mom was getting discharged and I still haven't found her. The past three weeks have been fun in different ways. Somehow, I always looked forward to coming to the hospital to see Juss and my mom. And now she was getting discharged, I looked for a way to get Juss to stay. After her outburst the other day, I wanted to get mad at her, but couldn’t so I decided to give her the

Hera again

Marco. I had been parading the streets of Manchester for the past few days, like a homeless man. Although there were comfortable hotels I could afford, I chose to stay in the most measly motels. It was best to avoid the spotlight for a while. I even altered my dress sense, if you want to look homeless, you gotta play the part. I spent my days wandering around, so I could get some info that might help me escape, since it wasn’t safe to travel by air or even the railway. But the Flemmings made sure their operations were discreet, making my search for information always end in futility. My last meeting with Juss didn’t exactly yield anything, other than the glaring fact that she didn’t want to have anything to do with me anymore. Well, at least, she made that very clear. I couldn’t blame her though, I was an asshole to her. And I deserved a thousand rejections from her, but that wouldn’t be enough to stop me, Juss was mine, she was my prize. I just had to get out of t

Her darling friend

Sylvester’s POV I decided to have an alone day today. I didn’t want to fool around like an overgrown baby that I’d made myself in the eyes of my son and my wife. I told the security guards not to allow anyone in, no matter who they were. Fortunately Eggust won’t come looking for me again because the last time he came he left disappointed. I felt bad about that but there was nothing I could do. While I was still soaking my miserable self in the whiskey I was drinking like water, I heard footsteps approaching me. I opened my eyes to see dad walking towards me, his domineering presence filled the atmosphere. So much for an ‘alone day.’ The guards didn’t tell me he was coming, neither did they try to stop him, but it wasn’t their fault. Even I couldn’t stop Oscar Flemming. He was the only person I was afraid of, but there was no way on earth I’d let him know, as a matter of fact, I’d be a fool to let him know that. I know I’m a fool already. And a coward too. “What
