Under His Protection

GETTING SLAMMED

The Journey to Audrey’s apartment was a silent one as vincent could not stop thinking about how Isabella had refused to choose going with and Audrey on the other hand could not stop blaming herself for allowing Isabella leave the house.

As they got to Audrey’s home Vincent carried Isabella inside and hen audrey followed, he wanted to stay for a longer time but even in her drunken state Isabella still refused having Vincent around.

As he got up to leave he turned to face Audrey, “I really though you were going to do better than me, call me if anything happens and take care of her.” Vincent said his words firm and dismissive, as he walked out and drove away.

Audrey could feel the disappointment and anger in Vincent tone and she knew he was not happy with her though he didn’t directly blame her for what had happened to Isabella but his words pointed towards its direction.

“I told you I had a bad feeling a out this and you just would not listen to me!” Audrey blurted out angrily as she turned to face isabella who was lying on the couch.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

She knew her best friend was a very stubborn person but she had trusted her to be smart and calculative at all time.

“But I told you not to come!” Isabella suddenly said her voice increasing in pitch, Audrey expected that she would be remorseful after what had happened but things were on reverse.

She was so disappointed at isabella for scolding her when all she wanted was to make sure ahe was safe, “i cant believe you saying this, i had to come because i wasn’t feeling good about your dinner with Timothy.” Audrey replied.

Even though Isabella was getting more sleepy she still had the strength to reply Audrey, she did not like the fact that she didn’t trust ber enough to be able to handle herself without her.

“I asked you not to come with me because I know I was going to be fine by myself but what did you do, you came to find me and then you brought vincent with you making me look so childish as if I was incapable of taking care of myself for just few hours!” Isabella protested, her voice raising higher with tone becoming harsh.

“It is obvious you cannot take care if Yourself and that was why I had opted to come with you in the first place, just imagine what would have happened to your if i and vincent had not arrived on time rescue from timothy!” Audrey asserted angrily.

She had expected Isabella to be calm by now but Isabella was still firm in her defense, she knew Timothy have any bad intentions and all he wanted was to take her home.

“Timothy didnot want to do anything bad to me!” Isabella replied, “Really! then what was he trying to to do then?” Audrey snapped back at her. “I see you have become to childish or you no longer see things clearly,” she continued.

“Timothy was only trying to take me home because I was feeling sleepy,” isabella noted. “i cant believe you have become so naive isabella, fine lets say you are right about where timothy was taking you but have you asked yourself why you were suddenly feeling sleepy?” Audrey asked isabella.

But instead of Isabella to think properly on what Audrey had just explained to her she only made matters worse. “I get it Audrey, you just want to take the praise because you feel you are always right and that you are the best at every thing right! ” Isabella suddenly remarked.

“What do you mean by that?” Audrey asked immediately obviously shocked by her best friend’s claim, all she wanted was isabella:s safety and nothing more.

“I can’t believe you are saying this to me, all i wanted was to make sure you were safe.” Audrey confirmed her voice filled with pain, she had never thought that isabella would think about her concern for her as showing off.

“That’s a lie, you only did that because you did not believe i was capable of taking care if myself, in fact you are no different from my mother and sister that always believe that i am not good enough! ” Isabella asserted.

“Where is all this coming from Bella?” Audrey asked immediately, she was so surprised at what Isabella had mentioned because she had never thought of her that way, in fact she had always thought that Isabella was even more determined than her.

“From me of course, I know that’s what you think of me.” Isabella admitted but Audrey did not want to argue with her at that moment because she knew she was not in her right senses.

“I am going to let this slide because i know you are saying this under the wrong influence and you are not yourself,” Audrey replied.

“I am not drunk and I know what i an saying, this is how i feel you need to stop treating me like a child and let me be!” Isabella snapped back at Audrey.

As Audrey watched Isabella say all these she felt the words hit straight at her heart like sharp knives piercing deep into her, she had never imagined that Isabella would ever think of such demeaning and hurtful things about her.

“We will talk beter when you are sober!” Audrey announced and immediately walked out on Isabella who was screaming as shw watched her walk away, “Come back hre I am not done with you!” but Audrey just paid her no attention.

The next day, Isabella had just woken up and as she tried to get up from her bed she felt a sharp bang in her head, she had woken up with a strong headache and was trying to recall all that happened yesterday.

And suddenly it all clicked, her memories rushing in like a flood sending her off balance, “Oh my god what have I done!” she exclaimed as she ran out of her room immediately to look for Audrey.

“I am sorry about al that happened yesterday, I didn’tmean any if those words.” Isabella acknowledged as she apologized to Audrey who was seated in the living with her hands busy on her phone.

“Well I think you just said what you wanted to all along,” Audrey noted but that was not the truth Isabella was still in shock at all she said.

“No Audrey, I promise that I have never thought about you that way before I really want myself yesterday and I still feel sick.” Isabella explained but Audrey was not moved.

“Really, you want me to believe what you just said ?” Audrey questioned but Isabella was joking about what she had just said ahe was still having the migraine and she was begining to feel dizzy.

“Yes I am having a serious migraine right now!” Isabella asserted and before Audrey could say another word, Isabella suddenly collapsed in front of her.
