I don't feel so good.” Amelia tried to maintain her balance as she staggered. “Are you sure Derrick is waiting for me in that tent?” She almost fell but was caught just in time by her elder sister, Erica. “Of course I'm sure.” A smile curled at the corner of her lips. “Just behind that curtain is your newly wedded husband waiting to give you a treat.” But the look on Erica's face suggested she was up to no good. “Ahh!” Amelia cried out as her back hit the mattress, but she couldn't find the strength to get back up. “Enjoy your night, Amelia.” With that, Erica fled the scene. A look of satisfaction on her face. Amelia felt weak. It was as if she had just taken down 12 bottles of Alcohol in one go; her head throbbed like a drum, and she couldn't stand or sit up, like an invisible force had pinned her down. She felt her insides burning, her face red from the intensity she felt inside. All she could do was try to unzip her wedding dress, in an attempt to escape this mas

“Uh Mrs P, remind me again why I'm hiding in this closet?” ************************ It's been six years since Amelia started her new life; she had kept the pregnancy and was happy she did; her son, Mikey, had grown up to be quite the six-year-old, smart with a sense of creativity. After dropping out of her master's program due to the pregnancy, Amelia took on whatever jobs she could find. But there weren’t many places willing to hire a pregnant woman. Eventually, she landed a position at a small newspaper house and slowly worked her way up to being a local journalist. She also picked up part-time photography gigs whenever she could. Over the years Amelia had accumulated some debts in her name, she couldn't afford an apartment to live in, so she turned to her only friend Mel, who owned a small apartment, seeing as Mel couldn't let Amelia roam the city homeless, she took her in and let her stay pending when she'd get her own place. Nothing ever came easy for Amelia, every day was a

Amelia's eyes fluttered open, her head spinning as she tried to adjust to the harsh hospital lights above her. The ceiling was blindingly white, making her squint.“Where...Where am I?”The doctor in the room glanced up from his clipboard. "Ah, great! You're awake. Your husband and son have been waiting outside. I'll bring them in." He checked a few notes and then added, "I'll be back to check on your vitals. We should be able to get you discharged today, Mrs. Fox." with that he left.Mrs Fox? Did I die and wake up in some weird parallel universe?Before she could think about it, Kris stormed into the room, a mix of relief and panic on his face. He was obviously worried. "Amelia!" he rushed to her side, his voice laced with concern. "Are you okay?"“I'm sorry you got hurt because of me” Leo stood there, guilt rushed through his veins. He blamed himself for the incident.“Kris? Why did the doctor call me Mrs Fox?” Amelia asked, still skeptical if she was in the right reality.Kris hiss
