Aldrich Timber

I stared at the phone in confusion, wondering who it belonged to or why it was there. I placed the phone back on the table, putting it in mind to let the nurses know that the previous patient that occupied the room had probably forgotten their phone.

I ignored the phone, turning my attention back to the girl. My thoughts weren't allowed to follow a straight line as the phone kept on buzzing.

In anger, I picked up the phone to either switch it off or put it on flight mode, but just as I was about to do that, the phone stopped ringing, revealing the wallpaper on it.

It was the picture of the girl lying on the hospital bed. That was when the realization dawned on me that it might've been her phone, making me feel completely stupid.

How come I didn't think of that possibility?

The phone rang again, and I stared at the screen, not knowing what to do. I wanted to ignore the call, go ahead with my previous plans, but

    Aldrich TimbersI gawked at Chelsea as she kept playing like a baby in the park with Anita. After much debating, we finally agreed on coming to the park.I'm glad she was smiling again. Chelsea really went through a whole lot for the past few weeks. There are night I feel hurt that I wasn't able to protect our baby. There are times that I kept wishing I was the one who took that bullet instead of Chelsea.“What are you thinking?” I almost flinched when I heard a voice and I turned to see Mum beside me. I smiled at her as I leaned into her and rest my head on her chest like a mommy's boy.“Mum?” I suddenly called.“I'm all ears, son” Mum replied.“Do you think I wasn't good enough to protect our baby? Do you think if I had taken the bullet our baby would still be here?” I asked mindlessly. Mum raised my head from her chest as she stared at me.“Are you serious? Do you think you had taken that bullet you'll be here? Don't blame yourself for what had happened. It's all in the past, focu

    Chelsea Engels Days turned to weeks, and today was the final hearing of Rita's case in the law court. I was in my room preparing when Mum came in.“Are you ready, sweetheart?” Mum asked and I gave her a nod.“Of course” I replied. Why wouldn't I be happy?My thirst to see Rita sent to jail filled me that every single day I pray the court grants our request. Rita has to pay whether she likes it or not. I heard about her loosing her baby too, and I thanked God that she was also going through what I was going through.Karma would teach her a lesson that she'll never even live to tell the story.I finished dressing up as I wore my flat sandals before picking up my purse and bag.“Let's leave?” Mum smiled at me and I smiled back.“Yeah” I said. At least I was recovering. I wasn't my old self anymore, things really changes, don't they?We walked downstairs to meet Dad, Aldrich and Anita waiting patiently for us. Aldrich rushed to me when he saw me and I smiled as I took my hands in his.“

    Rita HayworthI watched as the cops took me to their car. I knew this was the end for me, no one needed to tell me that.I lowered my head as they kept walking me to their cars. I met other cops outside, seems like they all planned to get me today.“Get in!” One of them pushed me in and I groaned as I entered into the car as two others say beside me.Tears fell from the sides of my eyes whenever I remember loosing my baby. Justin would kill me if he finds out about this, and that's why I need to act fast.The cop ignited the car as he drove away. We were already in the middle of the road when I came up with something.“Um, I'm pressed” I suddenly muttered, and the two other cops beside me glared at themselves.“He'll escort you” The one who looked like the elder one said, pointing at the younger one behind me.“We'll go into the bush and in less than two minutes you must be done” He added and I nodded gently.They pulled the car to a stop as the younger coo escorted me to the bushes.

    Aldrich TimbersI kept pacing to and fro, trying to keep my mind a focus but the scene of Chelsea getting shot by Rita flowed through me.The doctors were still inside the Emergency room. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to Chelsea in there.I won't give a damn about suing this hospital for not doing their proper jobs.“You have to calm down, Aldrich. All will be fine” I heard dad say behind me.“All will be well? Do you think so? Chelsea is in there fighting for her life! You know her condition” I cried out.“I understand, she's my daughter too. Do you think I want to see her in this position too? Let's just hope for the best” Dad replied, and that moment, Mum came rushing towards us.“Mum!” I exclaimed as I pulled her into a hug, crying on her shoulders. I couldn't hold it anymore. I felt like tearing up.“Shh. Don't say a thing, son. Don't say a thing” Mum whispered as she slowly patted my hair and I sniffed again.I raised my head up before pulling away from the hug. “Ho
