Chapter 7 - Ninety Nine Problems

last update Last Updated: 2025-09-07 22:58:39

Samantha didn’t bother to put her shoes on; she just aped down the stairs two steps at a time, her socks slipping on the dusty wood.

Halfway down, she stumbled and fell, hitting her knee hard on the ground, but she didn’t let that stop her. Instead, she pushed herself up again with a hiss of pain and kept running as quickly as she could. There was no time.

She dug into her jeans pocket as she reached the downstairs door, desperately fishing for some change, before her fingers finally closed around a few coins and a crumpled dollar bill; the last of her cash.

Luckily, she spotted a cab already idling by the curb, its taillight glowing faintly in the dark. She threw the back door open, jumped inside, and pressed the money into the driver’s hand.

“Take me to Beacon Hills Hospital, quickly!” she blurted out breathlessly.

The driver was an older man with tired-looking eyes. He raised his brows in the rearview mirror, asking. “What’s the hurry, huh? You look like the devil’s chasing you.”

    How the mighty had fallen. Samantha, once the best geology student in all of New York, then an ordinary barista, was now a common prisoner.The station looked and smelled exactly like her broken dreams. The fluorescent lights that hummed overhead cast everything in an ugly yellow glow as Samantha sat numbly through fingerprinting, mugshots, and endless paperwork. Her protests and explanations went unheard, as the bored officers treated her like just another case number, instead of an actual human being with a dying mother and a life that was completely falling apart. They did not get paid enough to listen to her whine and make excuses."Name?" the booking officer had asked without looking up."Samantha Torres.""Age?""Twenty-five.""Occupation?"She hesitated. "I work at a coffee shop."The officer had snorted. "Right. And I'm the Pope."Before long, she was shoved into a tiny holding cell that reeked of wet concrete and industrial disinfectant with suspicious dirty water dripping f

    "Arrest her!" the old man shouted, clutching the side of his bleeding head as two nurses frantically tried to press gauze to the wound. His face twisted with rage, spit flying from his open mouth. "That girl tried to kill me! You all saw it! She nearly cracked my skull open!""Sir, please try to stay calm," one nurse said, trying to steady him. "We need to assess the damage.""Calm? CALM?!" The old man's voice shook with fury. "She could've killed me! What if I have a concussion? What if there's brain damage?""No! Wait… no, that's not what happened!" Samantha shouted, stepping forward, her hands trembling as she tried to defend herself. Her face had gone pale, and her voice cracked as she rushed the words out. "It was an accident! Please, I didn't mean to hurt anyone! I was just trying to…"But her cries were already drowned out by the swarm of voices around her.Doctors poked their heads out of patient rooms, frowning because the hospital’s usual peace and quiet was now broken. A f

    Samantha blinked at the screen. At first, she was incredibly confused, and she couldn’t even recognise what she was seeing, but that was until she really saw her face.It was an old picture of her twenty-year-old self that had been pulled from some forgotten corner of social media. In it, her arms were slung around Jason Hale’s shoulders, both of them laughing without a single care in the world as she stuck a rabbit-ear gesture with her fingers above his head.Her lips parted. “Where did you get that? That’s my personal..”The boy cut her off, smirking in the annoying way children usually do when they think they’re being cute. “It’s everywhere. Insta, TikTok, Twitter, or X or whatever. Look! Jason Hale himself posted it.” He jabbed the screen again with his finger. “And he said you’re the one. He said you’re like his soulmate or whatever”“What?” Samantha whispered in confusion, “He said what?”The other kids crowded even closer, pointing their phones at her and surrounding her like

    “Get the fuck out of my apartment!” I shouted at the top of my voice.Thank goodness for the interruption; it has brought me back to my senses, and I shoved him so hard that his shoulder hit the doorframe on the way out. Jason barely caught himself before stumbling out into the hallway and crashing into the man holding the vase. It fell to the ground and shattered into a million pieces of crystal, yet Jason didn’t move.He just stood there, staring at me with his hand pressed against the door as though that could somehow stop me from slamming it in his face.“Get out,” I hissed, my chest heaving as I breathed angrily. “You think you can show up here, in my apartment, and play some tragic reformed hero?”“Hold on, that’s not what I---"I continued, “What do you take me for? Huh? Tell me! You think I’m just going to drop everyone and go back to my vomit? You disgust me, Jason! Now get out before I scream this building down.”He lifted his hands as though he could calm me, his voice sof

    What the...” Jason was lounging in her chair like he owned it, legs spread wide, his Rolex catching the light.Her blood went cold. “What are you doing here?” she hissed, her bag sliding off her shoulder.“Nice to see you too, babe.” He put down the water he’d been drinking out of one of her cups, like he’d lived here all his life.The apartment buzzed like a construction site. Strangers in uniforms moved in and out, hauling in boxes, carrying out her broken study table, rolling in a flat-screen TV larger than the wall itself. Someone was hammering something in her kitchen, a new set of cabinets.For a second she thought maybe she was dreaming, so she rubbed her eyes. No, he was still there, larger than life, wearing the most expensive-looking suit she’d ever seen, his hair slicked back, smiling that handsome, maddening smile that had once charmed her and now boiled her blood. It’d been five years, and he hadn’t aged a day; if anything, he looked healthier, more polished and sophist
