Were you mine? What was it that we had?
Jake's POV***lament***I couldn't tell reality and haze apart. Ever since she left, my life wasn't mine anymore.I was just living like I was being told. " Jake, the team head wants to talk. Take it in a good sense... It's nothing severe but it is important."My manager thumped me twice in the back before I was pushed inside the board room. The first and last time I was in there was when I had signed my contract. I was too nervous back then. It's been months since then. Seemed like nothing changed. My hands were as sweaty as it was on the first day. I still remember that day. The day was etched in my memory, like a bullet. The conference room was dimly lit as I took my seat at the head of the sleek, modern ebony table. Mr. Reynolds, the big shot in charge of our entertainment group,AandC, had his laser-focused gaze locked on me from across the table. The whole setup sent chills down my spine, and I couldn't help but feel the high stakes of the meeting.I was just an ignorant boy
Were you mine? Love???
Jake's POVI parked the car beside his little cottage. I sat on the armchair that was worthy of being an item on display in the museum. The scent of tea brewing in that kettle, mixed with the scent of soil and the dung, filled my nostril with a strange blend of repulsive temptation. If that even makes any sense. " Here you go dear boy! " As we sipped on that perfectly handmade porcelain crockery he smiled at me as my eyes wandered around the place. There was wide stretched pasture with the hint of another house anywhere near. " You stay alone here? " I asked. " Now? Yes... but was not always like this. " His sipped as he said. " You have a family? Do you own all these lands? "I know I was bombarding him with unwanted questions. He had been too kind to me already without having to deal with all that interrogation. But I was being selfish. Anything to keep my kind busy for the moment. I didn't want to think how I would face Lea. The old man smiled. " Yes, I do. Like all human.
Were you mine? Family? Acquaintance?
Phill's POVI knew I had a special spot for Lea from the first day that we met. It was beyond the relationship of a doctor and patient. I was not the type to swoon over random women but Lea felt different. It felt like I knew her, perhaps from another life, another dream. Don't know exactly what this feeling was. But it was building up, slowly. Fate, you could blame it all on fate. She kept bumping into me now and then, and every time she looked miserable. I hated that. I hated seeing her in pain. And it always turned out it had something to do with that jacka*s boyfriend that she had. Though she never admitted that he was her boyfriend. They seemed more like an old married couple without the physical part of the relationship, or so I thought. Now she was again in front of me and I was staring at the images being shoved in my face. A live foetus in her womb. She was pregnant with her bones broken, and could perhaps remain in the icu for a couple of days. It definitely belonged to
Were you mine? Show up
Phill sat in Lea's cabin. " She is in her first trimester but we will do a detailed ultrasound later when she regains consciousness." He had personally talked with the gynecologist assigned to her. Her phone was in his hand. He had taken it from the concerned department which had the rest of whatever was found on her body. The phone was still switched off. Phill looked at his own reflection, repeatedly on the screen before finally making his mind up and turning the phone on. He had to immediately turn the volume off because her phone's speaker began blasting the room with constant, incoming notifications. " As expected! " Phill retorted. " This was a bad idea. " He murmured after looking at Jake's messages -" LEA WHERE ARE YOU? "" LEA CALL ME BACK? "" LEA I CAN EXPLAIN. "" LEA I AM SORRY, COME BACK. "Phill couldn't read till the end of it. He switched the phone off and slid it inside his pocket. Just then he noticed Lea's fingers moving. He ran up beside her, checking if all
Were you mine? Compulsion
Phill's POV" Doctor Rodgers? " The police extended his hand to shake my hand as soon as I entered. " How's everything at home, son? How is your mother? "It was none other than the superintendent of the police and behind him, stood the loser actor. " All good! " I kept it as brief as I could. My mother's acquaintances always irritated me. " I believe, you might already know the reason for my visit? " He asked. " I am sorry but I don't. " I wasn't going to give Lea away so easily this time. I mean how could I, after seeing the state she was in, because of that irresponsible rockstar. " Umm, well. You happen to be treating this young man's girlfriend I presume? " He turned towards Jake but the loser looked around at the other people who were there standing in the room. After which, to my utter surprise, he uttered, " Friend, not girlfriend. "I wanted to smack his face and paint that pretty face of his with some red. After getting her pregnant, ( I had no doubt in my mind that
Were you mine? That night
" Jake , you simply cannot take a day off. This is the final sketch before the last day of shoot. You need to come for practice. "Rosa was short of yelling on the other side as Jake hung up. He had locked himself up in his apartment and refused to go to work. He was still standing in front of the mirror in the washroom. The water that he had splashed on his face for the hundredth of time, took its sweet time dripping down his neck. He looked at broad shoulders. The scratch marks from Rosa's nails, still looked fresh and prominent. His eyes looked red as they kept glaring at his own face. He tried to focus on what he was doing. But the images from that night were still vague. How much alcohol could make him loose his rationale? He thought his alcohol tolerance was good. He couldn't even remember drinking past that one glass. He immediately picked up his phone and called Rosa back. " Hello Jake! So you finally decided to come, didn't you?" Her voice was cheerful this time from
Were you mine? Good news
Phill's POVLea was finally up. She was sitting right in front of me. Her vitals were looking good but she did not look alive. She looked like a statue, sitting there, staring at the wall in front of her. I gathered my courage and finally walked up to her. " Feeling good? " I asked, despite knowing the answer too well. She looked at me and forced a smile. I sat down beside her and held her hand. She was taken aback at my gesture." Is everything alright,Doctor? " She asked me, surprised. I nodded. " You suffered multiple fractures. They will take time to heal. It's a miracle you survived to be honest and so did the baby."Her expression changed from surprised to confused to anxious within the fraction of a second. " Baby? " She asked as the machines started beeping with the alarming increase in her heartbeat. I held her hand tighter. " Lea, calm down. It's alright. I thought you knew about your pregnancy. I thought you were worried about your child. That's why I broke the
Were you mine? Guilt trip
Lea's POVJake was sitting right in front of me.He sat there silently with my hand in his hand and his head hung low, staring at the floor. Even though there was physical contact between the two of us, it suddenly started to feel like we were miles apart. He was aggressively trying to apologize but after my refutation, he simply gave up. Quite unexpectedly and suddenly. He was zoning out. But I did not have any idea what to make of his behavior. I was exhausted. My body and mind were not in sync. My skin was already rejoicing at the touch of his skin but something inside me, told me that Jake was not the same. " May be you should go home and rest. " I finally told him because it seemed like he was unable to utter amy thing. I did not want things to be any more complicated than it already was. " You want me to go home? " He asked without even looking up. " Yes, Jakey... " I paused short of a smile. Calling him Jakey was like my happy pill but something told me, I wasn't doing
