REVENGE GIRL

Waves of shock sparks through me as I stand frozen on the spot like a drenched puppy, her words echoes in my head. She can’t be Alexa! Alexa died in the fire, and it’s not possible to be her.

Memories of years ago floods my mind, and tears trickles down my cheeks as my heart wrenches in pain. The scar I thought I’d have gotten rid of years ago reopens again and this time, it hurts deeply.

Eight years ago, I met this girl at a mall and we exchanged contacts. Her name was Chloe. It wasn’t a serious thing, I just wanted to have a taste of her and let her go. However, things took another turn after I realized that she had a friend. Alexa was the lady I admired from afar, but never got to meet her. Each time I wanted to speak with her then, I never got the chance to. That continued, until I went on a mission.

Two years later, I returned back with the intention of meeting her this time and tell her how I felt about her. Chloe who was excited to know that I came back, invited me to the dinner party of a friend, who turned out to be Alexa. Of course, I was happy that finally I was going to see my crush and maybe talk with her for the first time, but I never knew that was going to be the last time I’d see her. She died in a fire explosion, which I wasn’t able to stop.

All these years, I’ve lived in grieve, but everything stopped when I met Harley. She changed everything about me and made me forget her, little did I know that they’re the same person. I have missed Alexa so much.

“What? You’re shocked? You thought you killed me, isn’t it? Are you regretting why you didn’t make sure that I died before you left?” She yells at me again. I open my mouth to talk, but words failed me. I have no idea what she’s talking about.

“Do you think it has been easy for me? Do you think it has been easy for me trying not to love you? Do you know how much courage it took me to hurt you? I love you, Jayden! It hurts to see you in pain, but you broke me first. You took away everyone from me, changed me into another person and made me the monster I am today!” She yells in tears.

“Listen to me, I didn’t do it! I didn’t tried to hurt you or your family, Harley! You have to listen to me, please,” I try to touch her, but she shakes her head and steps away from me. Now I understand why she was acting weird, now I know why she had been feeling repulsive towards me, it was because of this. I can imagine the pain she has been through, I can imagine the numbers of sleepless night she had, I can imagine the nights she soaks her pillow with her own tears.

“You didn’t do it? Do you still dare to deny it now?” She yells again, showing me the screen of her phone. I stare at her for seconds before I finally takes her phone and the video playing on the screen makes me freeze on the spot. That’s me in the video. How come? No! This is not what happened.

“This…”

“You’re still going to deny it, right?” She scoffs in tears.

“You’re nothing, but a monster!” She snatches her phone from me and rushes away while I just stare in shock. I try to get the pieces together, but it’s just so confusing. How did she get that?

The sound the footsteps drawing close pulls my attention, and I slowly tilts my head to find her dragging her bags with her. She’s packing out of the house. I watch as she drags her bag into the living room and glares hard at me before she finally ambles out of the house.

Sinking into the couch, tears trickles down my cheeks as I stare at the closed door. After seeing everything that happened, do I still have the right to feel betrayed? Do I still have the right to get mad at her for what she did? Even I would’ve done the same if I was in her shoes, but she misunderstood everything. I have never intended to hurt the family of Mr Williams, I never had the intention of taking their lives, but it’s hard to even defend myself, especially when she has the evidence with her.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Go after her, Jayden. She’s carrying your child and you can’t let her off just like that!” My subconscious mind keeps telling me, but there’s no way I will ever think of doing that, knowing that it’ll be pointless. She won’t listen to me, no matter how true I sound. What hurts the most is that I can’t even prove my innocence…

One month later…

“Argh! Doctor please pull him out already!” That’s the groaning voice of Harley. She sounds like she’s in pain. Inside the theater, the nurses are gathering around Harley, whose legs are spread widely on the bed as she screams in pain. She has the head of a baby, trying to force its way out of her vulva. Tears trickles down her eyes as she shut her eyes in pain. Her body feels as though it’s set on fire. Her forehead is covered in sweats and her whole body is becoming weak.

“Just a little push, and we’ll be there…” The doctor urges her to push, while trying to guide the baby’s head out of her vulva.

“Doctor… I’m weak, I can’t do this anymore…” She cries out in pain, biting her bottom lip.

“You can do it, you have to do this. Your baby will die if you don’t do this!” The doctor scolds her, and she groans.

“Arrrrghhh!” She screams with all the strength in her, and the baby’s head is finally pushed out of her. The doctor finally guides the baby out of her and the placenta too.

She breaths weakly, while staring at the ceiling. Her vision is blurry and slowly, her eyes closes by themselves.

“Harley! Hey! Come on don’t sleep…” The faint voice of the doctor keeps calling her, but she’s far gone and can’t keep her eyes open…
