Chapter 35: Chapter 35
Sheila's POV:
"Quinn! How is he? I haven't heard anything about him since the day of the accident and it's bothering me to hell. Please tell me the truth. Is he okay?" I asked, my eyes moisturized a bit and I wiped it away but hissed in pain.
"Sheila! He is fine but the thing... the thing is... it's..." She fidgeted her fingers nervously.
"Just tell me the truth, Quinn!" I pleaded with my hooded eyes.
She inhaled deeply and thought for a moment before she spoke. "Sheila! He regained his memory and.. and he didn't remember you."
When the words slipped out of her mouth that he is not remembering me, I clutched my heart where I felt a piercing pain and fell on the floor losing my consciousness.
When I woke up I saw my parents were sitting beside me on the chair that made me furrow my brows together.
Why are they still here?
"Mom! Dad! Haven’t I told you to go home? He was alone there and he needs your support more than I do. So please do what I said." I said as I'm not the one who admitted to the hospital, almost saved from death.
They both looked at me like I have grown with a unicorn. "Are you in your right mind, Sheila? How could we go home knowing you are suffering here all alone?" my mom whispered controlling her tears. She is on the verge to cry and I want to comfort her.
"Dad! Please tell her not to cry. I'm fine." I said but broke down into tears. Am I really fine? Hell no.
"Shh! it's okay, baby! I won't cry anymore. Please!! Don’t cry, my baby girl." My mom cooed and gave me a side hug.
After giving them several speeches about Karem's situation and his nearby exams, they agreed to go back home but left me under Quinn's care who accepted wholeheartedly as it's one of her mission to complete.
---
It's been three days Since Quinn told me about the incident. These three days felt like a million years, it adds more pain to my already broken heart, not seeing each other kill my nerve every day.
Whether he remembers me or not, that's not a matter to me. I just wanted to see him, to confirm he is doing good.
And my sake, the nurse allowed me to walk a bit by myself and I used this cue to walk towards his room.
My heartbeat increased rapidly when I turned the doorknob. Whether he remembers me or not, whether he hates me or not, I wanted to see him so badly. At least I want to know, how he is doing. Hesitantly, I entered his room and shut the door behind.
"I told you that I don't want to see..." He started to yell but froze on his spot once our eyes met.
"Harry... I..." before I could make an excuse, he ran towards me that made me shut my eyes tightly. For a second I thought he is going to hit me until his hand encircling my small frame and taking me in a tight bone-crushing hug.
"Oh God, Sheila? Where you have been?" He whispered, his brown eyes boring into mine.
Before realizing what had happened, he crashed his lips onto mine and led the kiss vigorously. So he remembers me, isn't he?
He had a strong grip on my face and steadied myself on the spot preventing me from falling and continued the kiss further. I started to respond to the kiss and felt him smiling between the kiss.
Oh, God! How badly I missed his warm embrace.
Harry's POV:
She proved herself as a gold digger, I felt betrayed and cheated. She played a great role but she doesn't know whom she has messed with.
She thinks of her as a smart ass but failed already. When I told her I am not coming to the bar, she asked my enemy Jace Craven to go with her.
She is very much aware of the fact that we hate each other from head to toes but she dared to go with him. The nerve of her.
I felt guilty for not going with her when she asked me politely to go, so I decided to surprise her but when I reached the bar, I was the one who got the surprise of seeing them together on each other hand.
Her hands wrapped around his neck whereas his was grabbing her back and they both were grinding each other, their intimacy send a gagging feel to my already burning stomach.
I grabbed his shirt and punched him on his pretty face. He fell on the floor with his back off. I climbed on top of him and started to throw a punch on his face, stomach and everywhere I could manage to punch.
At that time if someone hadn’t pulled me away from him he would be dead now.
My knuckle was covered by his blood; I grabbed a water bottle from the nearby table and poured water onto them to get rid of his dirty blood from my body.
"Harry!" Alyssa Rose, my so-called girlfriend called my name and tried to grab my arm but I shoved my hands away.
"Don't touch me, you bitch!!!" I spat.
"It's not what you see! He forced me to dance with him, I have no option that's why I ---"
"Shut up!" I raised my hands at her not wanting to hear her bullshit.
"Please listen, baby!" She faked a cry.
"Shut up! I said shut up!" I raised my voice again and she sobbed like she was in pain. If anyone had been in my shoes, they would have fallen for her trap. But who she is kidding? I'm Harry, the legend of every girl's dream boy who never falls for another trap.
"Listen, bitch!! If I ever see you cross my life, just consider you would lose everything. I mean it, So don't play with me ever." I warned and stormed out of the bar.
All girls are the same, they are behind us because of the money. Once they feel there is no use for them, they will change them like a dress. I can't believe this!!. How could someone behave likes this cheapy pointless ass?
I thought I was deeply in love with her, but I didn't feel the pain when I broke up with her. Somehow I feel relaxed.
I gulped down my whole drinks in one shot and laid down on my bed thinking all her bullshit and betrayal before drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
It's been a week since our break up and I don't have any of her thought sticking inside my mind as I thought it would hunt me down in my dream.
She tried her best to get me back but failed and not to my surprise, she is currently dating Lauren Cooper, a well-known businessman whose age is twice as mine. I used to call him Uncle, he is my dad's business partner.
When my dad came to know about my breakup, he warned Lauren to stay away from her because they are good friends and he cared for him. Lauren doesn't know anything about this bitch and he got angry when he knew the truth.
And now fate has decided what to do with her, cause she is begging me to take her back. Haven't I cleared myself that day when I broke up with her that don't cross my life? Then why couldn't she understand that I don't need her in my life anymore?
Shaking my head to get rid of her filthy thought, my focus remained on my navy blue Jaquar. When I suspect something was fizzy, I sped up my car and took a deep "U" turn and for my assumptions, the car is following me.
I tried my best not to freak out when the signal turned red and the pregnant lady crossed the road, unaware of my car coming towards her.
I gradually took a deep turn on my left but it is too late, I lost control of the car and I am on my way towards the lake.
When I thought I get the control back, something hit my car from behind and the car arose from the road and crashed into the rocks, I hit my head in the window frame which was already shattered into pieces.
I almost tried my best to open my eyes but I felt all my energies were draining out of my whole system and I see black dots everywhere.
*
I jerked and opened my eyes. What a terrible accident!! I can't believe this, I'm still alive. "Oh, God! My head is still hurting." I groaned in pain rubbing my forehead then saw the doctor is coming towards my direction through my blurred vision.
"Mr. Brooks! Are you okay? How are you feeling now?" He asked.
"Can't you see?" I spat at him. He is a doctor, he has to know how I am feeling right now, instead, he is asking some kind of silly question to take my nerve.
He inspected something in my wounded head and he better not touch the throbbing part but he did and I screamed out of my lungs when I felt a sharp pain in my head, it likes someone is stabbing me in my brain. The nurse injected me and I drifted into the darkness again.
When I get my consciousness back, the pain was bearable. My parents visited me but I don't want to see anyone. I need some peace.
I recalled the incident again and again. I was in my car alone but again I have a feeling that someone was with me who is very close to my heart, precious to my life.
But who?
I was told that I gained my memory back but first of all, when did I lose my memory?
Quinn and Kevin entered my room and tried to make a conversation. Oh, God! They were treating me like a child.
"Harry? Do you expect anyone... Anyone here?" she came with a silly question.
"Quinn! Please leave me. I need some space." I pleaded with them. They both went outside but my eyes still wandering around the doorknob, it is like my heart is expecting someone there.
'The bitch is going to pay for what she did.' I fisted my hand but again why I'm feeling like someone is with me when I got the accidents?
My mind is still looking around the incidents, it was fresh like it's just happened yesterday. The pain is still there but I couldn't feel anymore. I felt my inside was empty, it's like someone took my heart away.
It's been three days since I gained my memory but I do not remember what had happened before.
My mind is playing trick as once a time the car collides into a tree and next, it was crashed into the rock.
Is it my hallucinations? Or have I met an accident twice?
I again recalled the incidents and heard the familiar voice in my head. "Where are we going?" The voice seemed to panic.
I was in the urge to protect her, my girl. I hovered over her when the car came to contact with the tree.
Sheila?
Oh, God! What happened to her? Where is she now? Why didn't she come to visit me? What would happen to her?
I recalled the past and I remember everything, I mean everything as to how I accidentally hit her when she was tried to cross the road on my first day of college, as to how the devil Karl bullied her, as to how I have started to develop a feeling for her and how I proposed her before revealing my true identity. And how She had reacted while the truck was coming towards the direction of where I'm and how she hugged me like there was no tomorrow and accepted my proposal.
We were happy then. And again we were in the car and I noticed the strange car was following us. I felt the history was repeating and shut my eyes tightly.
Noo.....
I failed to protect her. Tears are pooled down through my cheeks, she made me alive and now she has gone.
If she was alive, she would be with me but there is no sign of her and they didn't mention anything about her. I failed to save her life. She was dead.
It's been two days but I didn't dare to ask about her to anyone, afraid of hearing dead news of her. I was pretending like I didn't remember any incident but my heart is aching by the thinking of I have lost my loving one.
I can't accept the fact that she was no longer in my life. She has gone.
As I was in my deep shit, I felt someone is twisting the doorknob and I found anger built in my body. I yelled at who was standing on the other side but froze when I saw her.
There standing is my girl. I can't believe my own eyes! She is alive!!! She is there for me!! She mumbled something but I didn't hear exactly what she said.
I ran towards her and embraced her in my arm, afraid of what if she disappears. "Oh, God! Sheila. Where have you been?" I looked at her hazel eyes which were directly looking into mine. Without wasting another second I crashed my lips onto her, enjoying her warm lips against mine which is smoothening my whole throbbing system.
Thank God!! She is alive.
