Chapter 5
★★BELLA★★"Take this thing out..." He said as he fell on the floor, groaning in pain, I couldn't see his face clearly, I wanted to see the person, I would report them to the police tomorrow.
"Bullets?!" I yelled in surprise. At first, I was afraid, thinking he wanted to do something else to me. I blushed at the feeling of embarrassment.
He turned to me "I am hurt right now, doesn't mean I can't kill you." he said, pointing his gun to my head.
Oh my gosh...Mother where are you? I prayed for my mother's soul to protect me.
"Pick the scissors and the alcohol." His deep voice, I picked them up with my shaky hands, trying not to drop them as I am the most clumsiest person ever.
"How's she gonna help me dig through my flesh with those shaky hands?" He asked, sighing as he did. Before I started, he gives me a few warnings. "Listen, lady, if you don't do it well, I'll blow you up, and if you try to run, that would be worst as I would go after your family."Family? Pish... I wish Lisa dies sooner, he would be helping me so much.
He switched on the flashlight of his phone and handed it to me, "start."I used the scissors to tear his shirt open, I don't know how to do this. Seeing an open wound, I got up and ran to the other side of the bush to throw up. My whole body is shaking at the sight of the gore. After the harsh memories of my mother's death, I never saw anything like this.
Once I was done throwing up, I gathered up courage and went back to him, I noticed he was staring at me, "Never seen an open wound before?" He sneered.
I took the cotton wool, soaking it in the alcohol, and cleaned the surface, he only flinched a little, I wonder if my movement was too hard, he cursed under his breath when the scissor touched the wrong place, "Sorry, sorry..." I bit my lips lightly, he was in pain and my mental health was getting destroyed, I had doubts that I would sleep soundly tonight.
"What... What should I do next?"
"Slowly take the scissors in and collect the bullet, careful not to tear me further," he whispered,
I gulped down a load of spit "OK... Bella, you can do this, you can do this, you can do this..." I'm on the verge of crying. I can't imagine me digging a scissor in anyone like they were beef, sure I hate Kelly, but I could have never thought of this, even for my enemies,"Hey, are you going to take it out, or should I just kill you, as I feel it's useless asking for your assistance." He was threatening me while I thought of a way to help him out.
"I'm trying, I'm trying..." I replied. Sweat formed on my head, rolling down my chin till it dropped on his body, I gathered all the courage in me, slowly put the sterilized scissors in his flesh. The bullet was deep inside.
"Shit... I'm gonna die!" He yelled. He used one of his hands to grab mine. "Take it out! I could die from your torture!"More tears drop from my eyes as I managed to take out the bullet. "Mother!!" He yelled.
It wasn't too big. After removing it, I wanted to run away to throw up for the second time, he turned and hugged me tightly. He was panting hard, "Let go...!" I yelled. He still hugged me tightly in his arm. His heart was beating violently.After a while, he let go and fall back to the sheets, I think I just swallowed my vomit.I wiped all the blood from his shoulder and bandaged his wounds. He was stiff. He had a tattoo on his back 'Ĵαʏ∂ɛи' this should be his name.
I used my fingers to trace the letters softly, spelling each word out, "J, A, Y, D...""What are you doing?" The nagging man's voice.
"Uh-hmm... Nothing, nothing..." I said quickly. I got up to leave and realized our hands were cuffed together. When did that happen? That was fast.
"Why did you cuff both our hands?" I asked, with all nervousness,"I want to sleep, what if you did a bad job and I died In my sleep? You should pay for your sins. watch around while I rest, when I get better, I'll let you go." He said.
"See Mr, you're been ungrateful, I helped you and now you don't want to let me go, not to forget all the bed sheets you ruined with blood, Remove the cuff, don't you have a house?" I can only hear him snore, he was gone. I checked his pocket for the keys, it wasn't there.
He was snoring really loud. My aunt is going to kill me, his blood was all over the sheet.
I tapped his chest lightly and lowered my voice, he shouldn't think I Am rude and pick an offense in that. "Pls let me go, my family must be looking for me" he was quiet. I tried to remove his scarf from his face, his large palm grabbed my wrist, twisting it, "What are you trying to do?!"
"Let me go or I'll use the scissors on you" I threatened. I heard his crackled laugh, he was made of mockery, "_You think you can kill me?"
He brought out the keys from under the sheet then unlocked the cuff. "I'll see you some other time." Then he let me go.I ran home as fast as I could, so he won't get to me. kelly was outside. "Bella, where are you coming from? My mom is looking for you." Kelly's question."Nothing, let's go in," I said to her. I Hope Lisa doesn't ask about the sheets? She would kill me if she thought I am lying.
★★JAYDEN★★ I rested for a while in the bushes before pulling myself up to go back to my house, The whole room smelt of the old food. I switched on the light and staggered to my room, sitting while backing the mirror, I feel so lazy. I looked at the wound on my back, it's so painful, did she take out my flesh along with the bullet? After having a bath, I tried sleeping, but I had insomnia. I took some pills to help me rest, but it didn't have any effect on me, my damn eyes were still wide open, I walked around, till the time hit 2:00 in the morning and I went to look over the window, The girl who helped me was sitting outside, she was shivering, why would she sit outside at this time of the night, "Useless." I thought, but then again, she may be outside for losing the bedsheet with her, and staying out Till that time while helping me.I am not to pity anyone, I just feel bad for the fact that I forced her to help me and now,
★★BELLA★★ After helping 'Mr i don't know who,' Lisa pushed me out of the house the moment I followed Kelly, she said she asked Kelly to search for me just to get the sheets which they forgot to bring in while I was away. And since I didn't have it with me, there was no need going in, and plus I had to pay for loosing them as my story wasn't believable, they both think I'm a liar. When Kelly finally opened the door, I run in, as fast as I can. My whole body was shivering, I was wet from the dew. I still had to go to work even though I was shivering. I have been giving Lot of Excuses lately, I don't to worry madam Serena with my family problem. I did all my work. Went to the bathroom to have my bath and prepared for work. I turned to Kelly, She was talking to dad. Demanding money from him. I can't remember the last time i asked my father for anything and youhe gave me. I
★★BELLA★★I dropped my phone on the floor as the word echoes in my head. "Dad is dead, dad is dead..." Tears dropped from my eyes. My father did me and my mom wrong, still why should he die like this? Bruno rushed to me "Bella, what's it? What happened?"I wiped my tears and let out a fake smile "sorry, I'll have to leave, I have something urgent" I picked my things and rushed home. My world now feels unbalanced, I feel my head spinning over the news. I opened the entrance gate slowly... The place seems so quiet. "Kel...?" I called with my broken voice. "Kelly... Aunt Lisa?" My aunt was drawing smoke from the pipe, she looked so calm. She puffed it in the air... "My husband is dead... Are you happy now?" "H
★★BELLA★★ She helped me with my bag. "No dear, you can't sleep here. My heart is already raising. "You can come to my house Bella we're like family. Huh, her house?! I never thought of going there. "Yes Bella, come to live with us." He gave Me a.shiver with his words. He looks so happy that I want to live with them."OK madam. Till I get a place to stay, I'll be paying you little rent. It isn't good that I stay for free." I say. I dropped my stuffs by the corner of the room.Evening, Bruno drove the family home with his bus. I was given the room of Ariana and Lorenzo, they were going to sleep in Bruno's room. Ariana didn't want to leave and I promised to share the room with her. I unload
Chapter 10★★BELLA★★ He marched to his room. He looks scarier than Bruno, he's so huge, broad shoulder, Great arm, his abs I could see clearly from his shirt, he had long legs. I watched the window as the rain fell heavily, 'After the rain stops, where will I go?' These were my only thoughts... He came back with some blankets and a pair of clothes. "Hey, go have a bath then you can wear these." He said and dumped them on the chair. When I was ready, he led me to the bathroom. I took off my clothes and had a bath, even though it felt like someone was watching me the whole time. 'Calm Bella, it's just your stupid head trying to play a trick.' I consoled myself. The bathroom was better than the one I shared with Kelly, it gave me some sort of inner peace so I decided to stay for a little longer, letting the water calm my head down, my heart from racing. After bathing, I wore the shirt he gave me, I feel so cold even
★★BELLA★★ I looked at his wide shoulder, his ripped army colored sweater. Wait... Is that 'en' on his shoulder? Does he have a tattoo? 'Bella, you must be stupid, a lot of words end with 'en'.I turn to the bed and sleep. Morning time. I opened my eyes "ahh...! You startled me" I screamed. He squatted, staring at me. "Well, is this how long you sleep? You must be really lazy, I bet you're jobless" he said as he walked to the window. The day was so bright,the ray entered directly into my eyes. "Thank you for your hospitality, I'll be going now" I say. I got up, wrapped my hair into a bun. "You have to answer my questions. Number one, why were you on the streets last night?"&nb
★★BELLA★★ I can't speak, I did wrong, I disobeyed... But how can he aim so perfectly? "Why did you come in here?" He asked in a different tone. "I didn't mean to, I came to deliver you meal, I called you but you- you didn't answer..." He wiped his face and smiled like a psycho in his second personality "Oh..." He raised the gun up. "Don't be scared, this is fake. It's a toy".I don't buy that. Why would he be with a toy gun? He stretched his hand for the food. I gave It to him. As I walked out, I pulled the knife from the door and dropped it on the shelf. Slowly withdrew my hand to leave... "What is your name?" He asked calmly "Bella. My name is Bella." I feel like crying for no reason.
★★JAYDEN★★ I go through the transfer paper, Wayne will be so shocked. Tomorrow, I'll go to back, I have some works to attend to. I start to think of Bella, I feel pity for her, just like me, she's alone in this world, but unlike me, she is a simple and nice little sport. I let her stay here because of pity. Play the record of her family: "Dad, dad sign, stop dragging the pen with Mom!" This was her sister's voice. "No, no, Lisa, you have used me all these years, I won't sign my wealth to you, what about my... What about my other daughter...???" "Edward, we have to secure our childrens future first, sign..." "Sign This Eddy! Don't be stubborn" they were struggling, she hit his head with something. I don't know how he died but I heard his daughter screaming. This naïve girl never ask
