Dying in silence

Fontana Pov

The doctor has finished treating Sam’s wounded area when I entered.

“Doc, how is she?”I asked as I walked over to the bed she was laying on.

Seeing her in this state make me feel so bad about myself.

She got injured because she saved me.

“Thankfully, the bullet didn’t affect her shoulder that much, all she needs now is to rest and I already gave her a sedative injection, so, she’s fine now”he turned to me and replied.

I nodded and took her hand in mine then rubbed it smoothly.

“I’ll be on my way now”the doctor said and I turned to him.

“Alright, thanks”

“Yeah”he replied and left.

I sighed and sat beside Sam on the bed.

I touched her forehead so as to feel her temperature but it was normal.

I watched as she slept soundly and left her room after some minutes.

I bumped into a maid and she quickly bowed when she saw me.

“Good evening, miss”she greeted and I rolled my eyes.

“Call me by my name, you’re making me uncomfortable when you call me miss. Besides, you are way too older than me”I explained and she raised her head up to look at me with a smile but quickly bowed again.

“Your parents sent me to bring you for dinner”she informed.

“Okay”I nodded and started walking towards the dining area.

Mom eyes beamed when I stepped inside the room.

“Hey, Mom”I smiled.

“Yeah. Guess what?, I asked them to prepare your favorite”she said amidst munching.

My face brightened up and I occupied the seat that was close to Mom’s and the maid came to dish my food out.

Hmmm…

Inhaled the aroma coming out from it.

I grabbed my fork and dig in the food.

I moaned out in ecstasy after shoving the food in my mouth.

“This taste heavenly, I wonder who has been preparing the food, she’s really good”I complimented.

“Of course”Mom nodded.

The door opened and Dad came in.

He was with his phone which means he has been making calls.

“Good evening, Dad”I greeted and he smiled at me.

He took his seat and the maid also dish out his food and he started eating.

For a long minutes, there was silent in the room.

“Honey, how was it with the cops “Mom broke the silent.

“They said they will start investigating as from tommorow”Dad replied her.

I dropped my spoon and carried the glass of water and gulped it down.

“But, Dad?, do you have a hunch on why the shooter would wanna kill me?”I asked.

He glanced at me and sighed.

“I wish I knew”

I nodded slowly…

Gosh!

“So, what assurance do I have now that the shooter won’t come back at me”I asked again.

“Well, you will always take the guards with you to every where you’re going”he answered.

I hate us suggestions but that’s the only way we could do it cause at this moment, going out alone is damn dangerous.

“Don’t get yourself worked up too much, nothing will happen to you again and if it does, you aren’t gonna get hurt cause the guards will always be at your service”Mom said and I scoffed.

“The same way they were at my service today and three of them died, Sam even got shot”I replied.

“That’s how it is, Ana, someone have to get hurt for your safety”Dad explained.

What?Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you mean, Dad?”I asked.

“You can’t get saved if one of them don’t get hurt”Dad further explained.

What the hell?…

“Does that means you don’t care about their lives?”I asked.

“That’s not what I mean”Dad replied and drop his fork.

Bullshit!

“You know what?, I’m off”I said, stood up and left.

I hate their sense of aspect.

Mia Pov

I hurled up under my blanket staring at the ceiling.

All this still feels like a dream.

The TV was on but I wasn’t even interested in it.

*Fontana*the name rang a jingle bell in my ears.

Was I hallucinating when I saw the Fontana from my class?.

Of course, I wasn’t hallucinating..

I saw her.

I saw Fontana.

That means I have bullied my role model without knowing.

Oh God!

I slapped my forehead repeatedly.

I was so foolish.

I should have known she was the one when she said the next time I slap her will be my last day in the school.

I even taunted her about being the powerful and rich man daughter.

Gosh!

I am so stupid.

I took my phone and logged in on my Instagram account.

Her photos were everywhere with different #harshtags.

Geez….

Tears blocked my view and I drop my phone beside me.

I will have to act timidly as from tommorow.

Maybe she can still consider me and then, we will be good friends.

Darrel Pov

I scrolled through my Twitter account and Fontana’s photos were everywhere.

I still can’t believe she’s the Fontana I’ve known.

The timid Fontana.

She’s the Longworth only daughter.

Oh, fuck!

I rubbed my palm down my face.

And, to say I’d actually placed a bet on this girl with the other guys baffles me alot.

I can’t afford to hurt her now after knowing her true identity.

Ugh!

My phone started ringing and i peeked at it.

It was Harry.

I sighed and picked it up…

“Hey”I drawled out…

“Wassup, man”

“I’m good..”

“Kyle has looked into Fontana’s school and guess what?”

“Just tell me already”I groaned.

“Okay, she’s actually attending the same school as you”

I sighed again…

“Look, about that, don’t you think we should renounce the bet we placed on her?”I asked.

“What?”he scoffed.

“Well, to be truthful, I know this girl, we are even in the same class and she’s kinda….”

“Oh, please!”Harry interrupted, gruffly.

“Please, Darrel. Since when do your care about renouncing a bet we placed on a girl because you know her?”he added.

I slapped my forehead and shut my eyes tightly.

“Remember, this also happens to me and when I tried to renounce it, you guys didn’t allow me, so, you can’t go back also”
