“ I told you to tell her truth earlier, are you happy now? I lost my friend" Grace said accusingly, she has been crying ever since Mercy kicked us out of her room, I regret not telling her the truth, I regret even more for being a coward back then, thinking of the trauma, pain and cruelty she suffered alone in prison makes my skin crawl, how could a human being be this cruel a woman to another woman, and that good for nothing idiot who couldn’t even protect his own flesh and blood.
I left the hospital in a fit of anger, I was angry towards myself, towards Devin and his mom and that slut, in order not to think too much I drowned myself in work, after work I’d pass by the hospital, Mercy still refused to see me, I was ashamed for lying to her, I figured I should give her space but a divorce that will never happen.
Grace called “ Tom Mercy disappeared” she said anxiously “what” my world fel
Mercy “ Devin” I cried out his name when I woke up, I remember him taking a bullet for me, everyone was in my ward except for him is he dead? I saw disappointment, hurt, and anger flash through Tom's eyes. “here” he stretched out his hand with a brown envelope I took it with shaking hands, he looked at me one last time before he vacated the room, everyone’s eyes were in me disapprovingly. I opened the letter /dear Mercy I’m sorry I hurt you, if I didn’t become part of your life you wouldn’t go through what you went through, I realized that I didn’t love you enough when your husband jumped in to take a bullet for you when he believed you when I didn’t, he loves you with every fiber of his bones, I am leaving for good this time hopefully I will find me another you. Love Devin/ Tears streamed down my face, Tom might have lied to me but his lies were never meant to hurt me, I stifled a sob, “ how long are you going to punis
The povI came back from jogging all sweaty and smelly, I ran to our apartment humming a tune that I created in my mind, weird right?It's funny because I can't sing to save my life but I have always loved music, it brings life to the depressed me, I have been suffering from depression for as long as I can remember, but it got worse after my first heartbreak, coming from a middle-class family, you can't go around wasting money paying a therapist, or visiting Doctors for regular check-ups Doctor don't have to diagnose me, the signs are Crystal clear, the lack of interest in life is a huge sign, the failed suicide attempts tick all the boxes of a depressed soul, the suicidal thoughts even after failing to end my life a couple of times.Music has been there for me it helps me cope with everything that is happening around me, not that I pay attention to the world or anything else, I tend to tune everyone and everything off.I reached my ap
I watched Mercy stuff her face with food, this girl can be a handful sometimes, I looked at her intensely, remembering our heated kiss session earlier.No scratch that, her confession meant everything to me, at least she is not shutting me out like before, I can see that her walls are slowly but surely falling, I just want to protect and love her, she deserves to be loved, there's nothing not to love about her she's just so easy to love.She said she loves me and always will, I know she's trying that's better than nothing, she is so adorable with her cheeks full of food if it was another normal time and day I would have laughed but now I am trying to be stern she has a habit of skipping breakfast.I asked her to slow down before the food choke her, she rolled her eyes, even a blind person can smell the smoke emitting from her nose and ears, no matter how late she wakes up she's always punctual at school, something about avoiding being the center of attention
Mercy's povMy day was going well until some girl decided to sit beside me in my last class, she was so babbling as if she knows me, I did I'm what good at, avoided her, gave her the silent treatment, she did not seem to mind though, the more I gave her a cold shoulder the more chatty she was.I ended up losing my temper " don't you know how to interpret gestures?" I yelled at her which invited attention to us, she looked at me and smirked a little before mouthing " nice one dragon keep the fire coming".The lecturer asked if have a problem, I wanted to scream damn yes, please move the chatterbox next to me, but come to think of it the lecturer would not, I saw a slight smile playing on his lips when I lost my temper instead of being vexed he smiled, that didn't make sense to me.I rolled my eyes" he likes you" the Barbie doll next to me disturbed my peace once again, I breathe in slowly" do you ever get tired of talking " she chuckled.
Grace's POVI watched Stella's face turn green with anger, I Laughed like a maniac, she got served, she left with tears in her eyes, such a cry baby." Barbie what is your name?" I abruptly stopped laughing, did she just initiate a conversation with me?" Grace my name is Grace and you are Mercy do you see what I see" I gave her my best smile.She hit her head with her palm " what have I gotten myself into" I heard her muttering I beamed " you have gotten yourself in a friendship with the best"She rolled her eyes I chuckled, i heard her voice "Barbie I will call you Barbie, it suits you well""For you anything my lady" i hate being called Barbie I sure do look like her but I am not her I am me , some how hearing her lazy voice call me Barbie makes me happy. I smirked, finally she accepted me as her friend, even though I can tell she is still reluctant, " by the way why did you call her corpse?"" because she lo
Tom' PovThe last few weeks I have been busy to an extent where I could not leave the office early, but I made it a point that I went home every night and leave for work early, that way I will not go crazy not knowing how Mercy was holding up, I knew it was not enough but that is the least I could do.The office was in chaos now things have gone back to normal, it is time I focus on my relation, this little woman has been eating her life away, she did not even bother to cook herself a decent meal, this is how troublesome can be.I watched her in my arms, she fell asleep in the middle of our second movie, I was do into the movie my entire concentrating eas on the movie I did not see her fall asleep but her soft snores notified me, she is so beautiful even in her sleep, her lips are slightly opened.She is the one for me, she was specially designed for me, I do not doubt that, I kissed her parted lips a part of me wanted to deepen the kiss but I coul
4 years laterTom's povI have been pacing around my office, he is back in town, I stand no chance, she loves him, will I be able to let her go? I love her she means the world to me.A knock interrupted my thoughts " if you love your life you will leave my door at this moment" I roared at whoever was at the door."Sir your sister is downstairs waiting for you" my assistant replied, I have to say he is a good assistant, he understands me better and can stand my rude behavior.I pulled my chair aside and stood up, she better be here for a good reason if not she is good as dead to me, I muttered under my breath.I opened the door and followed my assistant who was walking as if the world is on fire. " finally he decided to grace us with his presence " my mother sarcastically mumbled."Mother I think the situation has worsened I'm not in the mood for jokes I'm so close to losing her" for the first time
I was busy watching some fashion show with a glass of red wine to unwind, I had a long day at work today.My phone rang it was Mercy's unique ringtone, I have personally set the ringtone in my phone, and in hers too, it is our best friend song kind of thing.I glanced at the wall clock the time was 23:47 " strange " I muttered to myself, Mercy has never called me this late, something must have happened, I quickly swipe the green button to receive her call."You calling me this....." I did not finish my sentence because all I heard were sobs from the other end of the phone, "Mercy are you okay?" That's what came out of my mouth first yet my feet had already taken me to the door, I grabbed my car keys still listening to Mercy's sobs.She whispered some incoherent words which sent me to my momma bear mood, I did not switch off the TV or changed my clothes I ran to my car as if my butt was on fire, I stepped on the gas it usually takes me plus or minus 45 minutes
