Chapter one

Elena’s POV

“Elena, The doctor wants to speak with you”.The nurse informed me as my heart skipped.

“Why? I mean what happened, how are my parents?” I rambled with words staring at the nurse who looked clueless. “Why does he want to speak with me a few minutes after going to the theater with my parents? “I questioned, staring at her as if she was the cause of my predicament.

I have been trying to console myself after seeing the conditions of my parents lying lifeless as they were being brought into the hospital.

“Are they going to make it out alive?” I murmured with fear as I went to see the doctor in his office.

“I’m sorry Elena, we lost them”. The doctor said to me as he shook his head sadly.

“No this can’t be true, my parents cannot die just like that”. I burst into tears looking at him pitifully hoping that the doctor would just say that it was a prank.

“Mrs. Elena, you need to calm down and get a hold of yourself”. The doctor conveyed to me, looking at me with a pitiful face as one could tell that he was feeling guilty for not being able to save my parent's lives.

“Calm down for what exactly”. I screamed as I held the doctor's coat with tears rolling down from my eyes.

“Where are my parents? What exactly did you do to them?” I asked the doctor in anger and frustration that I would no longer see my family again.

“I don't want to be left alone in this cruel world”. I murmured shakily as my eyes were filled with tears.

I still couldn't believe what the doctor just said to me, at that moment I was speechless waiting for a miracle to happen.

“Mrs Elena”, the doctor calmly called my name as he quietly stood close to me. “Please sign these papers so that your parent's body will be deposited into the mortuary”. the doctor politely said to me.

“Oh wow, sign what useless papers?” I asked shedding tears.

“My parents are not dead, go in there and do your job immediately”. I screamed at the doctor. “make sure you bring them back to life don’t dare me”. I command with tears dropping down from my eyes.

“Do you want to get arrested for not doing your job appropriately?” Please do whatever is in your power to make sure that my parents wake up. “I don't want to be an orphan or do you want me to be left alone in this cruel world? “I muttered as the doctor could see the pain in my eyes.

“I’m sorry Elena but at this point, there’s nothing I can do. It is too late already”.The doctor shook his head.“Please go to the hospital receptionist and sign your documents”, he muttered sadly and left.

“I need to sue you all for killing my innocent parents”. I screamed as I sat on the floor weeping like a baby.

“Hey young lady, you need to calm down, all hope is not lost. You need to get yourself together so that your parent's soul will be at rest”. A handsome young man said to me.

“Seems like he has been observing the drama of pain being displayed”. I muttered.

“Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I needed it at this point”. I responded with a low voice.

“ Now let’s go to the reception and do the needful”.

He held my hands as we moved.

“Oh wow, do I look so miserable?” I murmured to myself.

“The young man gazed at me with wonder at who I was talking to. He smiled.

“His looks and cute eyes caught my attention though, but that’s the list of my problems right now.

“Sit please”, he said to me.

I sat there waiting for the nurse to arrive.

“I’ll be right back”. The stranger said and left.

“Okay dear”. I responded.

“Why is it taking so long to bring the documents to me?” I said to myself as I was already out of patience.

I needed to see my parents who knew they might not be dead yet. I thought.

“Good afternoon ma'am, here is the document, please sign your signature beneath the document” . The nurse said to me.

“Here you go please”, as I handed the document over to her.

“Can I get to see my parents for the last time before taking her away?” I asked the nurse.

“No ma’am the doctor already gave an order that you’re not allowed to see or go close to your parent's body at the moment”. she responded.

“Why, like what for? I queried”. Beaming with anger.

“Mrs. Elena was the doctor's order”. She shook her head as she could see the pain in my eyes. She muttered sadly and left.

“Who does that and which hospital will not allow an individual to see their patients? Are you stupid?

Where are these stupid rules coming from?” I screamed with anger

.

“Why can’t I see my parents for the last time before taking them to the mortuary?” I queried as I burst into tears.

“If I don’t get to see my parents I will make sure I destroy this place y’all are murderers”. I screamed in anger.

“Hey calm down people are watching, don't allow your emotions to get the best of you”. The stranger said to me. “I just wish you would understand them and wait till when you’re allowed to see them”. he still suggested.

“Ohh wow Mr stranger, did you also collide with them to kill my parents? Are you just pretending to care for me? Do I look like a mess to you? Hell please stay the fu*k away from me”. I said to him, leaching out my anger at him.

“Please calm down and in between my name is Alexander”, he said to me.

“Who cares what your name is?”responded angrily and sighed at him.

“It’s fine though, can you at least have something to eat?” He politely pleaded with me.

“I’m not hungry, I just need to see my parents this last time I said as I burst into tears again.

“Hey you will see your parent's body for the last time I promise you”, he said to me with confidence as he left to see the doctor.

“Good afternoon Mrs Elena Santiago”. A deep voice greeted me.

“Good afternoon sir,Please do I know you?How may I help you I asked with curiosity.

“I’m Mr Davis from the police department”, he said to me, looking mean and confident.

“Okay Mr Davis, how may I help you?” I asked him with curiosity.

“Mrs. Elena, you're under arrest”. Mr Davis uttered, looking so mean and angry like he would strangle me.

“Under arrest, how, why, what happened? What have I done?” I asked him in disbelief as was shivering, shocked and speechless.

I couldn’t utter a word anymore as I was handcuffed.
