Peter Wellington
I stare at my dad as he sleep. My heart is heavy and bleeding. Just staring at him brings fear and unwanted feeling to the pit of my stomach.
My mum is sniffling at a corner. I can't help but feel irritated.
The door is pulled open, revealing a nurse and a doctor. I see my mum wipe her tears and sit up quickly.
"Mr Peter?" The doctor calls, pulling his hands out for a handshake. I don't take his hand. I stare at it and look away. I'm in no mood for some pleasantries. The doctor clears his throat awkwardly. "I'm Doctor Jan. Can I see you at my office?"
I nod and follows him out. On my way to the doctors office, Annie call comes in. I pick it up immediately, knowing she just landed.
"I'll text you the address." I say quickly, as I walk into the doctor's office and close the door behind me.
"Okay."
I text Annie immediately before tucking my phone in my pocket. The doctor is already
🍭 Chapter Nineteen 🍭Peter WellingtonRelatives flies from different states and countries just to send their condolences.I'm locked up in my room, not wanting any disturbance. I've had Mike console me before he left to Oak Hill.I'm scattered. I wish I knew, I would have done everything ok in my power just to make sure my dad didn't have to die.A knock on my door distracts me from my thoughts. I ignore it, but the person keeps on knocking."Go away." I say, throwing a shoe at my room door, causing a loud thud to echo. I should've gone home instead of staying back at my parents house."It's your mum.""Go away." I repeat, not caring who the fuck she is. I know I'm supposed to be strong and be there for my mum and sister, but I can't. I'm hurting too. I can't pretend to be strong especially when it comes to my dad."Please, Peter. I just want to talk." She begs. I can hear the sadness in her voice. I still
Karen DonnaHe winces in pain as I clean his bruises with a cotton wool. I stare at his face, his eyes are closed tightly, his lips clasped together not wanting to allow any sound escape his lips. He looks handsome even in pain.Focus Karen, focus.I want to take my eyes off him, but I still find myself staring at my boss. Maybe having him over at my house isn't a good idea.He catches me staring at him, and I look away quickly. Way to go Karen.I clear my throat awkwardly, before averting my eyes back to his bruises. I can feel his eyes watching me as I wrap bandage around his hand."Done." I say standing up from the floor."Thank you, Kayla." He say in a whisper. I nod and walk off to drop the first aid kit in the basement.Peter is sprawled on the floor when I walk in. I sit beside him, facing the television.I can feel his hot gaze on me as I stare at the TV. Maybe I should
Karen Donna"You look stressed, are you okay?" Mum ask via Facetime.I'm at work, sipping coffee to keep me awake all day. I'm at my fourth cup in just an hour. God save me.I exhale, running my fingers round the coffee cup tip. "This job ain't easy. I need some rest."She gives me a knowing look and I sigh heavily. I'm so not quitting my job because I'm stressed. Damn,mum really be giving me some bad energy."No, mum." I blurt out sending her a glare."At least have some rest.""I am, I just have to get some works done for our presentation next week.""Don't get yourself worked up, okay?" I nod, assuring her I'll be okay.Sitting up, I glance up to my side to see Peter walking towards my office. He doesn't look too bright unlike before. He's holding a box which I think is chocolate. It better be."Are you okay, Karen?" I hear mum's voice. I turn to her immediately."Sure. I have t
Peter Wellington Karen. Karen. She is all I think of after that night at her house. I try to get her out of my head, but she keeps appearing every second. I'm definitely not in love with her. Hell no, she's Mike's long time girlfriend. Even if they've been dating for two days, there's no way I'll fall in love with my cousins girlfriend. I wish dad is alive to tell me what to do. I'm left frustrated. Mum or Annie ain't a good choice. I sip on the alcohol I am holding. I'm at my second bottle. I feel dizzy but I still drink on. Maybe taking a lot of alcohol will take my mind off her. Natasha. Karen. I remember the first time I set my eyes on Karen, she looks so much like Natasha. Well, I was day dreaming. They don't look alike facially, but Karen exhibited a lot of characters like Natasha. They can pass off as sister's. "Mr Peter?" I hear Elena call. I don't turn to her. "There's someone o
Karen DonnaI run far away from him. I run with full speed, not looking back. I'm scared, scared that I nearly kissed him. I almost cheated on Mike!I reacted to his touches. I let him touch me. Fuck it!Tears are blinding my vision as I run. I don't care, I let my legs carry me to wherever they want. I think I've completely lost my mind.I know it's dark and not safe to come out, but I don't care. I have to get away from Peter.The cold is hitting my skin, but I don't give a fuck. Running away is my only option. I shiver as the breeze blows. Goddamnit!I slow down when I see group of guys at a bar corner, smoking and drinking away. I want to turn back and run away, but that means going back to Peter. I shake my head and continue walking. I gulp loudly as one of the guys set his eyes on me. He nudged his friend who is puffing out the smoke from the cigarette. I shudder as I see them looking at me with those scary ey
Peter WellingtonIt breaks my heart to see her when we ain't talking. Each time, I want to talk to her, apologize, but I'm being held back by my ego.I miss her. I miss everything about her. From the way she talks, eat, laughs, frowns - oh shit, I'm in love with Karen. Definitely.I pick up my phone and dial my bestfriend number. She picks up immediately, her cheerily voice filling my phone. On a normal day I would have been so excited to hear her voice, but here I am, frowning and eager to say whatever I wanted to say to her."I can't believe you're calling me. It's been months Peter." She complains.I shrug, "I'm sorry, Maya, I miss you." I miss my best friend. She's always been there for me but I'm not always there for her. I suck."I miss you too. I just came in from Las Vegas. Do you want to hang out?"Definitely. "Yes. I actually have something to say to you. I'm a wreck Maya.""Aww, let's meet at my p
🍭 Chapter Twenty-five 🍭Peter WellingtonI watch my shameless mother wrap the blanket tightly around her body with an unbothered look. She doesn't look like she regrets whatever is happening.I'm irritated by her. Her lover looks scared and worried. He's my mum's staff at her Boutique. She stoop so low. It ain't my uncle anymore, but her staff."Who are you and what the hell are you doing in bed with my mother?" I question, anger boiling in me."I- I- I wor- work at the Boutique as a cleaner." He stutters, trying to hide his naked body under the blanket. Something tells me my mother forced him into bed with her.I hear my mother growl. She looks unbothered. She looks like she wanted me to leave so she can go on with whatever she was doing."Leave." I say to the boy who hurries to stand up but is stopped by my mother."I brought him here Peter. Stop being stupid and leave."I bite my bottom lip as I try to s
Karen DonnaAfter I clear up everything I'm doing, I make my way out of the office. Elizabeth already volunteered to take me home so we can get dressed for the club.She had persuaded me to follow both her and Alex to the club. I wanted to decline but she wasn't having any of it."We'll pick up a nice dress for you at the thrift store." Elizabeth say as she drives info the road leading to the thrift store. I only nod at her and reach for my phone. I decide to text Mike about Elizabeth idea of taking me to the club. His reply comes in quickly. He's asking me not to go. Awkward. I turn to Elizabeth who is focused on the road. She stops the car when the traffic light shows red."My boyfriend asked me to stay back." I say like a child who's mother had just yelled at for doing something wrong. I can see the anger in Elizabeth's face."You're gonna let him tell you what to do because you guys are dating? That's stupid girl. You'
