A NIGHT’S MISTAKE
EPISODE TWELVE
? ALEXANDER ?
I got there in no time a d batched in but the security held me from going further into the house. “I need to speak with Mr Brooke!” I yelled.
“They are at the hospital right now.! ” One of them said.
I stared around the colourful compound and settled my eyes on the spring water running by the flower sides.
Tears glistering in my eyes,I gasped softly.
Just then, Chloe appeared from the main entrance.
She walked to us, with a gloomy expression.
“What do you want? No one can come in here for now.
We don’t Know who really attacked my brother but we have a suspect already.
But…. I don’t want to believe he’s the one. He can’t.. ” Chloe stopped taking and let out a deep breath.
She sounded like she knew Ryan?
“I’ve got to go to the hospital right now and say something.
Please, just be kind enough to send me there… Please. ” I pleaded.
Chloe glared at me and nodded.
I breathed in with relieve. I couldn’t wait to get there and set him free.
?RYAN?
I was taken back outside. I still couldn’t believe there b@stard could say that lie.
“Why did you do it? What really did you needed from my son?” His mother said.
I ignored her and focused my thought on Alex instead.
As soon as Mr Brooke joined us in the waiting room, Someone ran all the way directly to us.
My eyes widened as I saw Alex coming in with another girl.
“Excuse me! You can’t take him!” Alex breathed out the words. She was panting heavily.
“Slow down young woman and tell us what happened.” The hear police said.
Alex looked at me before glaring back at the police. “It was me… I was the one who hit Daniel on the head.” She said it loud and clear.
” What? You did what? ” Mr Brooke exclaimed. ” Aren’t you the maid child?”
“Yes I am! But I can explain what happened. ”
” Shut the hell up! You are trying to cover up for him! ” The other girl added.
” Chloe no! You also said you don’t believe it’s him, right? I did! ” Alex insisted.
Chloe blushed despite the situation. I glared at her and suddenly recognized her face.
My first time in Bright stars, I caught her taking video of me. I wondered why but right now, I can see the reason.
“Yes.. maybe but you like him. You wanna cover up for him. ” Chloe stammered.
” Sir please you’ve got to believe me. Let me explain.” Alex pleaded.
” No young lady. We don’t accept such here…you covering up for him. Sergeants,let’s move out.” The head police said.
Alex and I looked at each other and I smiled. How could I still smile after she got me into such a mess?
“Please give me your parent’s line or anyone you might wanna call. I promise I’m gonna get you out!”Alex said eagerly.
I shook my head. ” Don’t worry about me Alex. I’m gonna be fine.” I said.
“No! Please… give me an address, please!” Alex insisted and I did before I was finally taken into the waiting van outside.
?JUN?
My hands trembled as I heard her crying on the line. It’s been a whole day and the half and Ryan hadn’t returned home.
I wondered why he acted so strange before disappearing but couldn’t find any answer. I had to call his mother.
“You don’t have to cry. I suggest you come down here so we can look for him together. I’m worried too.” I said softly.
She continued sobbing till I cut the line off.
I kept wondering why he acted do strange that very day.
? ALEXANDER ?
By the time I got home that day,I was feeling so exhausted.
Mom batched into my room angrily. “Alex, you’ve got to tell me what your problem is. You were acting strange yesterday and even today!” Mom almost yelled.
I wanted to tell her lies again,that everything was okay but I ended to bursting into tears.
In a flash,mom flew to my side.
“Alex! You are crying. God,I knew something was wrong. Tell me baby.. please.” Mom pleaded.
” Mom ….I’ve put someone into trouble.” I sobbed heavily on mom’s shoulder.
” What did you do? What have you done? Tell me.” Mom replied softly.
Then I explained what happened. Mom was speechless. She couldn’t say a thing.
“Did you say …Mr Brooke’s son…you hit him?”Mon stammered.
I stared at her. Why does she get this strange feeling any time I mention that name? “He wanted to rape me mom!” I sobbed.
“Oh my God.” Mom whispered tland buried ber face in her palms. I was momentarily lost.”Mom…are you okay?” I sniffed.
“Why didn’t you just listened to me! I told you I don’t want you to work there!” Mom cried.
I was alarmed. Is there something mom is not telling?
“Mom,you sound like you know this man. What’s happening?” I asked.
Mom said nothing. Instead,she stood up and exited my room.
I was incredibly amazed.
Early the next morning,I took the address Ryan gave me and left the house even before mom could wake up.
I trekked for long hours into midday but still couldn’t get the address.
I began to wonder if the address was even correct.
Curious to see Ryan,I trekked straight to the police station. Yesterday,I had to take and cab and trace the police van.
I walked into the visiting room and requested to see Ryan.
We were given twenty minutes before he was brought out.
I felt a stab of guilt when I saw him.
I stood up Immediately and helped him into the seat in front of me.
He smiled again. He always had that genuine smile.
“Why are you here so early in the morning?” He asked.
” I couldn’t sleep.” I answered and sat down. “I couldn’t find house you directed me to. Please,just tell me where I can get anyone to bail you out. I don’t have enough money..I would have done that.” I said.
Ryan smiled again. “Daniel’s dad doesn’t want anyone to bail me. He wanna sue me.”
“What!” I was angry. Daniel did not even die or sustained any internal damage…why the action? “He’s such a cruel man! How could he? He didn’t even wanna know what his don did!’ I raved.
“I’m pretty sure my aunt called Mom already… And she must be on her way to Manhattan too.. you don’t really have to worry. I’m gonna get outta here. ” Ryan said softly looking at me.
I went still and stared back. I blinked and looked away as strange feelings began engulfing me.
I looked at me and stretched out my hand to take his hand which was draped across the table. My fingers curled around his hand and he stared into my eyes.
“And I will help you regain your freedom, Ryan. Trust me. ” I said softly.
Ryan nodded and smiled. I smiled back. I was about withdrawing my hand when I caught something so familiar on Ryan’s upper arm. He was wearing an armless so I could see it clearly.
I glared at it with a big frown on my face. Then I gasped… It was so identical… Just the same thing
No difference!
“What’s wrong?” Ryan asked slowly.
I raised my hand and pointed at the birth mark on his upper arm with a shaky finger. “That!” I exclaimed.
Ryan glared down at his arm and looked back into my face. “What’s happened?”
I rolled my long sleeve up and turned a little. The same mark on Ryan appeared wide and clear.
Ryan had that shocked expression too as we glared at each other. “Why…. Are we having the same birthmark??”
“Why are we having the same birthmark!!” I asked back, bewildered.
It can never be a coincidence,can it???
??????
Okay…..I think the truth is about to surface!!
