DARK AND DEADLY TIES
Chapter 6
A weak man has doubts before a decision,
A strong man has them later.
POV Alyssa
Weeks had passed, and my forced cohabitation with Theodore was not going well. I felt that unwelcome obligations were imposed on me, so I tried to talk to them as little as possible, even starting to avoid them.
If I was so unhappy because I went to live with Theo, Draco and Sarah? Simple, it was Sarah.
One morning, Sarah knocked on my office door and started telling me some things that made me think.
Start Flashback
- Good morning, Alyssa, I'm sorry to drop like this without telling you, but I needed to talk to you! -
- Sarah, tell me everything? -
- Look, Aly, I know you don't like people who choose for you. I know you'd rather be at this desk all the time, and so am I. But Alyssa, let's face it. You're alone, you have me, Draco and Theodore. How do you think we'd be if something happened to you? -
- You'd be sick, Sarah, I'm sorry I did that at the meeting with Theo and Draco.. I acted like a fool! -
- Don't worry! What we have to do is save your relationship with Theo! Then you will tell him that you intend to join us in our living together? -
- Of course! -
- Good my friend! Let's see what we can do! -
End Flashback
I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't notice the person who had entered my room.
- Earth calls Alyssa! There I started seeing a hand shaking in front of me and so I turned, looking at Theodore, who stared at me with concern.
- Oh Theodore.. I didn't hear you! -
- Alys, are you okay!? -
- Yes Theo, I'm fine! You don't have to worry about me! Sorry I have to go now, I have things to take to the office! -
Theodore did not answer me and I immediately understood that to my cold answer, he was disappointed. I said goodbye to Sarah and Draco who were joking, then I left the apartment.
I didn't go straight to the office, but I wandered around the center, trying to take away my negative thoughts with some healthy shopping.
I tried to be careful, hoping that nobody would follow me.
After shopping and seeing the late hour, I decided to go to the office. I took the last things left!
He left the office with the bags that contained my belongings, and then I went to Theo's house.
I was passing through when I didn't realize that a car was being used to me. I slammed it into the sidewalk.
I wondered who was the crazy person driving like that and I tried to get up, but because of the pain, my legs couldn't hold me.
POV'S Theodore
That girl was such a big head. I couldn't understand what I did to her to treat me like this.
I sighed as I walked up to Sarah and Draco and they were kissing and I drew their attention and cleared my voice.
Sarah and Draco broke off, then my friend came to me.
- Theo, tell me what happened! -
- It happens that the girl is a big head! I wanted to talk to her, apologizing, but she avoids me! There is no way to talk to her! -
- Theo, be patient! Alyssa was disappointed.. Writing for the newspaper was her whole life.. coming stuck in the house by you with rules, you do not feel well. Theo, I know well Alyssa, she needs time! - Sarah said, trying to reassure me and, strangely enough, succeeding.
Draco was about to step out and we heard the sound of Sarah's phone. She answered and I began to worry when I saw her face change color.
Alyssa what does it mean you're in the hospital?! Are you okay?! okay, we'll be right there... Don't move! - he closed the call and immediately turned to us.
- Theo, Draco.. Our conversation can wait... We have to pick up Alyssa from the hospital... She's been run over! -
- Oh, my God, are you okay!? - I asked Sarah.
- You only have one sprained ankle! -
- Let's go get her
I took the car keys and we drove to the hospital. Once parked we will go to the receptionist's lady who kindly pointed us to Alyssa's room.
Alyssa was lying on a table and a doctor was looking at her. The doctor looked about 30 - 32 years old. He had brown hair and green eyes, and he was dressed in a white coat. I didn't like the look she was giving Alyssa, so after I swallowed, I talked.
- Excuse me! -
- Come on, come on! You must be friends with this young lady right? - asked the doctor, looking at the girls, cutting me and Draco out.
- Yes, we're your friends! Doctor, how long before you use your ankle again? -
- It will take at least a couple of months... But after it will return to use it quietly! Unfortunately I will be forced to undergo physiotherapy sessions... He suffered a fairly large trauma... You know it's not every day you get run over! -
- But I don't think I need it Doctor! - Alyssa spoke, looking at me and Draco, trying to get help from us.
- I insist.. However, you can go out already! I'll sign the resignation papers! -
The doctor came out, and Draco and I were alone with Sarah and Alyssa, who was pretty scared. I turned around and looked at her, and I approached.
- Alyssa... can you explain what happened? -
- Here's Theodore... I don't even know how it happened... I just know that on my way back from the office, someone ran me over.. I didn't see who it was, but I knew that for pedestrians there was green... This, that is, that individual who overwhelmed me, went very fast, I am alive thanks to my reflexes. I managed to move quickly! -
- Who helped you? - Draco asked, looking at us.
- I was rescued by the doctor you just saw ... he was kind to me, besides it's a face I don't know...-
- I see! -
The doctor returned shortly after, with all the documents for his resignation, and he won the glasses that were falling off.
He didn't say a word, he gave us the documents and then, after saying goodbye, he left.
I didn't like that guy at all!
