chapter 05

When I went to the hospital, my heart was beating so loudly as a run till I got to the counter where I was laid over to meet the doctor that was taking care of my father. Right now he was in the intensive care unit and then the doctor told me that he had gotten into a car accident.

"Accident?" I repeated my eyes going wide, the world rolling off my mouth as if that was the first time I was hearing it.

"How can my father even get into an accident like that when he doesn't have a car?"

"Well he was drunk and trying to cross the road at the same time, you get the picture…normally his healing abilities are supposed to kick in but the constant drinking that he has been doing over the years has practically destroyed them so I suggest that you pay some of the bills so that we can begin treating him properly,"

I looked at the doctor, tears began to bubble around my eyes pooling up into a lake.

"B-but doctor I don't have any money?" I said to him, fumbling with my words.

"Surely you must have a relative or maybe you can get help from a charity body, I suggest you hurry because your father really needs it…"

Before I could say anything else a nurse had come over to him and he rushed off leaving me there.

My father was the only relative that I had left, and even if I had all of my savings I wouldn't be able to pay his bills. My stepmother had manipulated him into keeping a shared account with her and the little money that he had there was under her grip.

How did everything fall apart like this? I asked myself as I staggered out of the hospital dragging my feet away. I went to my friend Elena for help and she sympathized with me.

"I really wish I could help you, but I've been saving for this really cute designer bag and it's not even all that much anyway even if I gave it to you…"

I didn't know how to react so that sentence so I simply didn't, it wasn't her responsibility to take care of my father anyway. I just sat on her bed spacing out when suddenly her hand that squeezed my shoulder brought me back to reality.

"There is this club in town, a lot of Rich and powerful guys always hang out there…"she began with an enthusiastic voice.

"Why don't we check it out?" She said to me her eyes were practically sparkling.

"Even if you are not able to get a guy at least you'll be able to forget your problems for now."

I really didn't have any other choice so I agreed to go with her and she got me dressed up. We were almost the same size so her peach tight skirt and crop top was a great match for me.

"You look so sexy, the guys will be falling all over you…"

I forced a fake smile, which was good practice since I would have to be doing it all night. When we arrived at the club it took only five seconds of rubbing against sweaty bodies for me to be fed up but I had to suck it up.

Elena said with her full chest that all I needed was a drink, and I would immediately loosen up so she grabbed me by my hand and pulled me like a rag doll to the bar section of the club.

She claimed that she had never been here before, but she was navigating the place like an experienced sailor on sea. Then I glanced away for only a second and then she was holding a tiny glass slipping it into my fingers before I could even process what was happening.

I took everything in one gulp, another bad decision of mine but thinking about it when did I ever make any good ones?

The room began to spin, my legs felt like jelly and my head was heavy. My eyes caught that Elena was moving her lips but I couldn't catch what she was saying.

Soon a guy walked over to us by the bar, and before I knew it he stole Elena to the dance floor where there was another guy waiting. I tried to follow her but I was barely able to move without almost collapsing.

That was when someone approached me.

"Easy there, hot stuff…you almost fell for me just now."

I squeezed my facial features trying to catch the person's face, his words were so crazy that I felt a shiver running down my back and then…

His hand…

I immediately jolted back, slapping his hands away.

"Don't touch me…" the words slurred past my lips, and he either didn't hear me or just didn't care because he kept clipping the distance between us, trying to force me to the dance floor when finally I could not take it anymore and I carried my leg up hitting him in the place where the sun doesn't shine.

He responded by immediately folding up on the ground, I tried to run away but my eyelids seemed to be getting heavier and heavier and I was not able to keep my balance so it was easy for him to catch up to me.

He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me back.

"Why you little b*tch!"

I saw his hard sweeping in the air coming towards my face and I shut my eyelids preparing for the impact when suddenly there was none and then I pulled my eyes open.

There was a man standing between the two of us who had a death grip on the man that tried to hit me just now; he had also twisted the hand that was holding my hair away.

When the lights of the club flashed across his face I was stunned by how handsome he was, I had never ever met somebody that was so mesmerizing.

Finally I gasped and lost consciousness.
