11. The Search
"But I still owe you a proper apology," Belinda Cogzell uttered as Edward Bartlett headed for the door. "Yeah, why don't I treat you for dinner, how does that sound?"
"Dinner?" he replied.
"Yes, please, I really feel bad about what I said about your fiancee." She slowly approached him. "Just a light dinner between co-workers, what do you say?"
"I'd love to but I already made plans, Ms. Cogzell, maybe some other time."
Her face contorted. All her life, no man had ever resisted her advances. She would make even the toughest man with the highest pride beg on all fours just to make her stay. She had taken pride in her beauty and irresistable bombing hourglass body. With that weapon she was able to sabotage relationships and families. Men were at her mercy. And she merely thinks of them as her source of money and fun, mere tools for her entertainment. She is like a viper that captivates men and wraps them around her little scheme before inflicting her veno

"W-hat the---" Zia Scott uttered and ran off in panic. She sprinted out of the campus as she painfully sobbed. And as she trudged along the sidewalk all the while sniffing the snot running down her nose and wiping the overflowing tears in her eyes, horrible thoughts were haunting her mind. Who was that girl? What were they doing? What is she to Edward? What were they doing? What is their relationship? What were they doing? Does she know that he's engaged? What were they doing? Where did they meet? What were they doing? When did they meet? What were they doing? What were they doing?! "JUST WHAT WERE THEY DOING?!" she shouted at the top of her lungs, then a new set of tears had flooded her already dried-up eyes again. "Seriously," she uttered in between

"Likewise." Sarah Lewis curved a smile as she heard Gray Stewart's response. "It's really funny how you always catch me when I'm in trouble," she said as it went silent again. "Yeah," Gray shortly replied while keeping her eyes on the road. "You're like my personal saviour," Sarah said. "Always to the rescue!" She thrusted her arm out as if imitating a superhero's typical flying pose, then she laughed softly as she put her arm down in embarrassment. "Yeah." She briefly glanced at Gray then on her hands resting on her lap. "I'm sorry, I must be annoying you, I'll just keep quie---" "It's fine, keep talking," Gray said while she b
Till Time Do Us Part 14. At the Hospital
As soon as Gray Stewart and Zia Scott heard about the dreadful accident, they rushed over to the hospital. As they arrived, they saw Edward's mother pacing back and forth near the reception area, awaiting their arrival. "Martha!" Gray called out her attention. "Where's Edward." "Come with me," Martha said as she walked away, and the two followed behind her. "What happened?" Gray asked as they were walking. "I--I don't know," Martha's voice was breaking. "I...I heard he got hit by...by a car just across the school. T-the driver was speeding a-and...and noticed him too late. He was hit pretty hard," she explained. "Here," she added as she stopped on her tracks. "He's still inside." Gray and Zia looked at the room she was referring to. "The operating room?" Zia asked. "I-it's been an hour, I'm so worried," Martha answered as she brought a hand up to brush up her hair in exasperation. "W-wait," she added. "Who's this?" she asked as she pointed at Zia. Gray glanced at Zia beside h

"Hi, I'm Belinda, Belinda Cogzell. Edward's friend from work." Gray Stewart briefly stared at her then she continued reading her magazine. "Are we in hell right now?" "Excuse me?" Belinda said with one eyebrow raised. "What?" Gray glared daggers in her with her dead fish eyes. "Oh, I was reading a line in the magazine." "Ah, I see," Belinda responded. "Look, I just came here to visit Edward. I wanna see how he's doing," she said as she gestured her hand towards his bed. "Well, he's lying unconscious with that massive choker on his neck and a few stitches and little metals replacing his crushed bones inside. So I guess we can all agree that he's definitely fine," Zia mumbled to herself as she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"...it's my fault." "What?" Gray Stewart looked at her over her shoulder. "It's...It's," Zia's voice was breaking. "It's my fault," she muttered as she looked at Gray and a teardrop unbiddenly escaped her eyes. "What--you really believe whatever that reptile said?" Gray gestured her hand to the door where Belinda was dragged. "B-but, w-what if it's...what if it's true?" "What if it's true?" Gray approached her and leaned on the foot of Edward's bed, crossed arms. "So what? Are you just gonna let that kid die?" "W-what?" Zia's brows furrowed. "Look, let's say you didn't run away, let's say he was able to catch up with you while y
Till Time Do Us Part 17. Sasha Neuman
"Oh, God...please," Gray Stewart prayed, holding Sasha Neuman's bloodied hand tightly in between her shaking hands. "Please," she whispered underneath her breath, gazing down with her well up eyes at an unconscious redhead woman wearing a non-rebreather oxygen mask with a pulse oximeter attached to her finger that was connected to a monitor. The equipment inside the ambulance slightly sways with the high-speed driving. The two paramedics smeared with blood sat quietly across from Gray with the female paramedic studying the electrocardiogram monitor and the man beside her monitoring the patient. Only the soft sobbing and whispers of Gray could be heard amidst the reverberating noises from the siren and vehicle horns. And the faint beeping of the ECG monitor. "...please..." Gray leaned her forehead on their clasped hands, and her eyes, closed. "...please..."

"Arghhh..." Gray Stewart groaned as she sat up from an unfamiliar bed. A bed would be a stretch as it looked more like a backless stainless steel bench not even long enough to hold her six foot long body. She rested both elbows on her open thighs and dropped her head on her palms. "What the hell happened?" She strongly brushed up her hair as the intense pain in the head came knocking in. She looked around the room. It was closed with no windows and two doors. The bench she had slept in was placed nearly at the center of the room. Both sides of the walls had large glass wine cellar cabinets and a door on each edge. Behind her were racks with stored cardboard boxes, and wall hanging cupboards. She heard clinking noises from the door on the left. She finally rose and headed towards the door. As she peeked past the d

Sarah Lewis had just gotten out of a pharmacy with a plastic bag in hand. She walked along the sidewalk with her eyes leisurely wandering around the street. She slightly raised the plastic bag on her hand. "I hope this will help, even just a little." She felt a smile spread across her face. As her eyes continued to wander around the area, they found a familiar head of white hair drooping down on one of the benches in the park. She approached her. "Hi!" she said. Gray lifted her head. "Sa...sha?" Her eyes were quivering as she studied Sarah's face. "Actually, it's Sa-rah," Sarah corrected, smiling awkwardly. Gray stood up, her eyes still stuck on her face. "Sasha?"
