Ciara

The weekend went by rather fast with Alena moving off to the police academy. The starting of a new week came and my two weeks leave was over.

"Welcome back, Miss Ciara!" The company workers chorused in unison.

Honesty I had expected them to be busy with the hotel project. To busy to throw me a welcome party. But they'd done so.

I beamed. "Thank you, everyone. I'm truly touched"

"Alright people" Brittney commands, clapping her hands. "Back to work"

Turning to face me, she says. "Welcome, Ciara"

"Thank you, Brittney. Come with me to my office and keep me to date with everything that has been happening so far"

"Actually, Ciara-" Her voice trails off. "Mr Kendall is waiting for you in your office"

That's right, Kendall. I guess the two weeks I'd put him in charge didn't change his decision to resign. "Thank you for informing me, Brittney. I wish not to be disturbed"

"Noted"

Moving up to my office in the second floor, I take in deep breathes before turning on the door knob.

    Ciara"Ouch! Ouch!" Ciel whines. "Stop hitting me, Roxanne Micheal. I'm injured too, mind you""Not injured enough" Roxi harshly claims. "What do you mean Becky's been conscious since last night and you only got to tell us about it now?. Do you know how worried sick we were""Don't be angry at Ciel, Roxi" Becky says. "I'm the one who'd told Ciel not to tell you guys about it till morning.""I needed a minute alone with her to talk out our differences" she adds, turning to face me. "And Ciara, stop guilt-tripping. None of this is your fault""I wasn't-""You may have not started but you were soon to do so" Becky countered. "Out of curiosity, Ciel and I watched the early morning news. You said Ando homes knew their roofing material were faulty but still kept quiet""If anyone is supposed to be shitting their self our right now; it's Violet Hayes" she continues. "You'd gone into the project fully trusting Violet, it's normal for you to not imagine this could happen""But now that it has,

    CiaraSlowly opening my eyes, I realzied that it was morning already. How had I managed to sleep through the night?. Jonathan wasn't on the bed beside me. "I guess he'd gone to work" I muttered, climbing down from the bed and heading down to the kitchen to get a glass of water. As I slowly made my way towards the kitchen, the sound of clanking plates became louder. "Jonathan?"Sticking out his head from the kitchen, Jonathan flashs me a broad smile. "Goodmorning, I expected you to still be sleeping"He hands over to me a glass of water. "Here. To wake you up"Retrieving the glass from his hands, I gulped down the water. "Thank you"Strolling into tbe kitchen, I looked at the feast Jonathan was cooking. "Aren't you going to work today?""I took a leave from my boss" He replies. "I couldn't leave you all by yourself. Go sit by the dinning. I'll bring your food to you"I do as instructed. Shortly after, Jonathan approaches the dining table with a tray of food in his hands. "Thank you f

    CielSpringing up from the hospital bed, I slowly moved towards the white curtain that separated Becky and I. "You can do this" I encouraged myself, taking in deep breathe. "Let's do this"At once, I pulled back the white curtain and there I find Becky lying unconscious. Her face was badly scarred and there were bandages all over her shoulders, hands and legs Throwing my hands over my mouth, I gasped in horror. "Dear God" Tears freely flowed down my cheeks as I was unable to hold it in much longer. "Why did you risk yourself for me, Becky?" My voice cracked up. "I should have been the only one that got hurt""I'm sorry" A low voice apologizes. It was Becky's. Relieved, I take her hands in mine. "Becky, have you come through?. Wait, let me call tbe others-""Don't call them yet" She cuts me off. "Stay with me just for tonight. I have something to-" she winced in pain then continued. "Tell you"I didn't want to see Becky in a pain. "You can always tell me tomorrow. Just try and get

    Ciara We all stood outside the ER waiting for either the doctors or nurses to get back to us with feedback on how Ciel and Becky were fairing. Time moved slowly than usual making me more nervous. Fredinard approached me. "They're going to pull through. Don't worry about it"I couldn't help but do the complete opposite. Becky had been completely crushed by the roof and Ciel who had been shielded was still unconscious. All I wanted was for them to wake up. "Ciara!" A familiar voice calls out to me. Glancing up, I looked to find a worried Jonathan right across from me. He was soaking wet which was apparent that he'd rushed from work to meet me under the rain. "Jona-" Words failed me as I rushed up to him; dissolving in his embrace. The tears I'd been holding back all night finally let loose. "I'm so scared, Jonathan""They'll pull through" He assures me. "I know they will"Refraining from him, I dried my tears. "I'm such a mess""You're not" He corrects me. "You're beautiful"Wipi

    Ciara"S-Sure" I stuttered. "I mean, I can't possibly send you back in the rain, can I?""Unbelievable" Ciel groans. "So, you're following me around now Becky, is that it?""What?" Becky appeared taken aback. "I told you I just happened to-""Right" Ciel drags on. "Like I'm going to believe your bullshit that you just happened to walk into a recently completed hotel""Fine, you're right. It's all bull" Becky admits, dropping the act. "I needed to talk to you"Ciel scoffed. "I already heard all that you had to say, remeber?. When you were busy calling me a clingy bitch behind my back""I never called you a bitch""It doesn't matter" Turning to face me, Ciel says. "Call the shots, Ciara. It's either Becky leaves or I do"I froze giving Becky a 'this wasn't the plan' eye. Since Becky's plan wasn't working, I tried to reason with Ciel myself. "Ciel, you can't go outside. It's raining""And I don't give a shit" she backfired. "I don't want to be in the same space as Becky so call the shots

    CiaraI'd sent the message to the the group chat I was in with the girls when. That I needed them to help check the feasibility of the hotel and they'd agreed.

But we'd all come to an agreement that tonight we would be at the hotel. My phone rings removing my focus from our conversation; it was Fredinard. "Hello, Fredinard?""Hey, Ciara. How are you doing?""I'm doing good and you?""I'm alright. I just stopped by at Jonathan's house and there's nobody home""Ah, I've resumed work back at the company" I explained. "Jonathan is at work as well and Alena is away at the police academy""I see" Fredinard says, his voice holding alot of dissapointment."Are you alright, Fredinard?""Yeah, I am.
