All Alone
{Carlos’s Pov}
I didn’t know what came over me that I decided
to kiss Amy, but it felt as if I didn’t kiss her at that time I will lose my mind.
Amy saw me out, so we could talk. I gave her the drugs and explained how she is to take it and I also told her why she had to take it. But I didn’t tell her the whole truth. I didn’t tell her about Madison.
I feel guilty for hiding this truth from her so I decided to tell her the truth next time we meet.
After my discussion with Amy earlier, I was finding it hard to leave. I tried bringing up all sorts of things to keep the conversation going, so I can stay a little longer with her, but I noticed that she seemed tired.
I gave her one last hug before getting into the car. At least that way, I would have something to hold onto in the next few days before our next date.
My head was filled with thoughts of how to keep Amy by my side as advised by Dr. Smith. I went back to the hotel and quickly took a bath. I lay down on the bed and thought of Amy.
My whole life is starting to evolve around her. She is all I think about in the morning before going to work and in the evening before going to bed.
I wake up the next morning feeling this bad urge to listen to Amy’s voice. I am longing to hear her voice. My mind wants me to start my day with her beautiful, angelic voice.
I remember that I already have her number and think of calling her, but when l check the time, it was still very early.
I quickly took my bath and prepare for work. When I arrive to the office, I was about to call Amy, but my phone rang instead.
I answer the call and my sister’s voice came from the other side.
“Camilla? I call as soon as I answer the call.
“Carl, what is going on with you and Maddie? Camilla asks, skipping all pleasantries.
“What do you mean? l ask, and all he could say to me was to check the news.
I was about to ask her why I need to check the news when my phone suddenly beep.
“She hung up? I stared at the phone in surprise.
Camilla’s behavior was strange. First, my sister would never shout at me unless I have done something out of the line, which l’m sure l haven’t done.
I decide to obey Camilla and check the news and to my utmost surprise, the news was covered in stories about me and Madison. The amazing part is the news about suicide. I jumped up and phone fell.
“Madison tried to commit suicide? In my home?
Shit!
I rush out of the office straight to the hospital where Madison is. She is admitted in the same hospital where Amy’s brother is.
A nurse inform me that Madison was still in the operating room, so I went straight there. I find my Dad, Chloe, and Camila sitting there along with Madison’s parents and brother.
“Dad, what happened? I ask as soon as I arrive there.
My dad ignored me and I turn to Camilla, but she looked away too. Chloe is crying with her head on Camilla’s shoulder.
My family are mad at me?
Mrs. Ray stand up and approached me. “It is you! You did this to her!
“I what?” My surprise was boundless at the accusation.
“You know how much she loves you, yet, you ignore her always! You know you are all she wants, yet, all you do is push her away! Now, You have pushed her to commit suicide!
“Me?! I pushed her to commit suicide?
What the Fuck?!
How did l push her to commit suicide?
Robin (Maddie’s brother) got up and throw a punch at me but I dodge it in time and he hit the wall. His hand started bleeding from the impact and he groan in pain.
Our eyes met and he glared at me. I know that he wasn’t satisfied and was going to find a way to pick a fight with me later.
Mr. Ray stood up and screamed at me in anger. “You’ve got the nerve to ask that, Carl! He hissed. “The maids saw you two fighting yesterday. Madison begged you to stay with her, but you didn’t listen, you left and didn’t go home for two days. You left her alone there!”
I still do not understand this whole shit. If they are aware of the fact that l wasn’t in the house, how then did I push Madison to commit suicide?
“Why are you so cruel to my baby? Mrs. Ray cried loudly. “All she’s ever done was love you. Why do you have to make her feel like she isn’t wanted?”
Oh.. I think I understand now. All this happened because Madison realized that l don’t love her. She felt unwanted so she took an overdose of sleeping pills.
My home was snatched from me, yet, I couldn’t complain and now she tried to kill herself and I
get blamed for it.
How is that fair?
“How am I to blame for Madison’s condition? I retort in anger. “How is it my fault that she tried to kill herself? I never led her on from onset. I let her know that I never liked her. She was the one that kept coming after me. I couldn’t stay under the same roof as her so I left my home for her, What wrong did I do? I hissed with
frustration. “Her face disgusts me and I cannot spend a moment with her, but you all wat me to spend a lifetime with her!
I point at everyone sitting out there. “It’s your fault that she’s lying in there fighting for her life, not Mine!”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
With lightning speed, Dad stands and a slap
landed on my face. “Are you even human?” Dad looks at me with disbelief.
“Carl, Maddie is in there fighting for her life and this is all you have to say?!
Chloe look at me tearfully and I know tell that she feels my pain. Everyone else has this look on their face that makes me feel like I am the worst person on earth.
Am I bad?
I look at my dad with disbelief and he looked away. I sauntered away from them all and left the place.
My mind was discombobulated. I don’t even know where I am going.
Did I push Madison to her current state?
I can’t believe that my dad hit me. Even Camilla doesn’t want to talk to me, and Chloe is torn between her best friend and me.
I was alone.
I was walking but I don’t know where I was going It seemed as if my whole world just crashed.
I bumped into someone and that familiar scent came into my nostrils.
“Amy!
Though I do not want her to find me in such a state. However, if her scent could make me feel so safe, then her arms is where I will go.
I look behind me and I saw her coming towards me.
“Amy,”
