When Loneliness Calls Emily's POV 12 I just visited my his condition is getting worse and I dad in the hospital. The doctors informedtha can't feel anything. I'm not sad. I'm not regretful. I just feel like I'm doing the natural thing a daughter would do for her dying father-get him the best treatment regardless if he's gonna make it or not.
My dad never apologized for the wrong he did to me. He didn't tellthat he regretted ending up killing his own grandchild. He didn't givea reason, even a stupid reason, for killing the love of my life.
I loathe him for so long and I still loathe him now that he's dying.
Am I a bad daughter if I say I'm waiting for his death and I won't cry if he dies? Am I a bad daughter if I say I won't regret letting him go like this? I don't wanna dwell in the past and get drowned in the pain, but now that he's struggling to survive, I feel like it's his karma working.
I opened the door of my car but someone pushed it closed. Annoyed, I expected it to be the person who never fails to annoyevery single day.
"What now, Matt- My words disappeared into thin air after I saw a man standing beside me. His face looks exactly like Matt Foster but I can feel that he's a different person.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis jaws clenched as his eyes sharpened after he heard his twin brother's name.
"So, I was right. You're always with Matt. What are you doing to my brother, huh?" I chuckled and shook my head. "Don't worry. Soon he'll introduceto your family. Don't be excited." His forehead creased. "What the fck are you talking about, whore?" My face immediately turned blank because of his foul mouth. No one ever calleda whore. He's the only one.
I slapped him angrily as my eyes sharpened. "You don't have the right to insult me, Mason Foster. I'm not doing anything to your brother. He was the one who kept on disturbing me." He licked his bottom lip and laughed mockingly as his sharp eyes landed onagain. "What? You don't like being called whore? You're a whore, right? My brother picked you up from a whore bar. You are nothing but a dirty woman who only wants his money I slapped him again, and this time, I gave it with a push "You bastard! You don't even know me! Investigate about me, asshole! I'm richer than you, just so you know. And I don't care about your feking brother. It was him who got so fcking addicted to my fcking body. He even insisted on makinghis girlfriend so if you can convince your stupid brother, tell him to leavealone because I don't fcking like him!" I got in my car and gritted my teeth as I gripped the steering wheel. I don't know if it's because he has the sface as the man I'm starting to like, or I'm just becoming really affected by hurtful words that are being thrown at me.
I felt a lone tear roll down my cheek and I immediately wiped it angrily.
Why am I crying? He insulted me. I shouldn't give a damn. That asshole is a complete stranger. I don't even have a connection with him, So...why? I jumped in shock when someone sat on the passenger seat. My lips parted when I saw Matt looking atwith a smile but his smile slowly faded after he saw my face. His eyes widened in fraction. "What happened to you?" I pressed my lips together and rolled my eyes. I supposed he didn't witness his brother insulting me.
"Nothing. Get out. I'm going home." "I'm going htoo, so I'll stay here." My forehead creased. "You're going home? To my house, you mean?" He stared atwith a serious face. "Yes. So what?" I clenched my jaws. "What can't you understand, Matt? I don't like you! I don't wanna be with you! I don't fcking need you in my home! I don't fcking need you in my life?" His lips parted as he stared at me. My eyes were sharp as I stared at his face. My heart was racing and hammering inside my chest. I feel like I'd lose my consciousness any minute from now.
It...hurts. I know I shouldn't let Mason's words affect me, but after everything I've been through, a single painful word can slit my heart and break it into pieces. My heart becso vulnerable instead of getting strong. I don't know why. Or perhaps I thought I found someone I can rely on but the most important person in his life couldn't accept me. He clenched his jaws after. A few seconds. "We'll talk when you calm down. For now, go hand take a rest." I watched him get out of my car silently. I swallowed hard. And bit my bottom lip as I gripped the steering, wheel tighter.
I squeezed my eyes closed and looked down, calming myself down. After a few seconds, I started the engine and drove off to my condo unit.
This is Insane! I was lonely without Kelly and Snow, but when Matt stayed here for two days, I felt alive. Now I'm alone again. I don't know. The loneliness is killingagain. It's eating my sane and I feel so..
down.
I think I should get used to being alone again. Kelly deserves to be happy, so I won't blher for my loneliness. She should be with the man she wants to marry and me? I think I'm meant to be alone. After taking a long bath, I slept on the couch without eating dinner. I don't even care if my stomach is grumbling in hunger. I only woke up after I felt someone caressing my cheek and when I opened my eyes, my heart skipped a beat in nervousness after seeing a familiar's eyes looking down at me. What is he doing here? My eyes widened in shock as I whispered his name, "K-Klay..." Missing Kelly's POV "What about this one?" I chuckled while looking at Pierce, showingtwo pairs of baby dresses.
"Pierce, we don't know the gender yet," He frowned. "It's fine. We can just get both." "Then the baby can't use the other pair." He shook his head. "It doesn't matter. We can just have another baby." I laughed again and pinched his side. "Whatever you want. Let's go to the next store." We already have plenty of baby dresses. Sare unisex and sare not. He wants to shop for our baby so I just let him. Although it will take long until the baby can use the dresses.
He smirked as he followed me. He lined up on the counter while I just waited for him. After paying, we entered the next store. We were in his house, doing nothing when he suddenly invitedto go shopping. I know he wants to buy clothes for our kids and as a father, he deserves it.
We're about to enter another shop when someone appeared in front of us, blocking our way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMy forehead creased and my blood immediately boiled after seeing a familiar face I hate the most.
I laughed without humor and looked at her from head to foot. "Been a long time, Lexi. You look... miserable." She gasped and turned to Pierce. "We have to talk, Pierce!" I smiled sarcastically. "Unfortunately, I won't let you borrow my man again." Her eyes sharpened and turned toagain. "I'm pregnant with his child, Kelly!" "But I don't care," I said nonchalantly, She gasped. "You'll becselfish even to a child?" I laughed sarcastically again. "Con, Lexi! I'm being selfish because of a child. My child with Pierce. I don't even care about your child. Or are you really pregnant?" "I am pregnant!" I gritted my teeth as I stared at her. I discovered something while I was investigating my father's death, actually. Reason why I couldn't bring myself to believe Lexi. She's related to Amanda. They're aunt and niece. How small could the world be? The two pests in my life share the sblood. That is something that's not really shocking. "I am pregnant, Kelly! My child needs a father-" "Amanda Gilbert is your aunt, right?" Her lips parted as he looked atwith a shocked face. I tilted my head. I don't wanna disclose her secret in public but she's forcing me.
"W-What are you talking about? I don't know her." "Amanda Gilbert was my dead father's third wife, Lexi. She's infertile and I heard in every generation of her family, there's someone Infertile." Pierce, standing beside me, looked atwith a shocked face. He doesn't know. Of course, he doesn't. Lexi was planning to lure and lie to him from the very beginning.
Lexi shook her head. I'm not infertile, Kelly! I'm carrying Pierce's child inside me- "Don't push yourself to the pit of embarrassment, Lexi. Have sshame!"
She roamed her eyes around and realized that speople were m watching. She gasped and to I took a step back as he constantly shook her head in disbelief. Her eyes were sharp and full of hatred.
Shaming her or whatever wasn't my intention. As much as possible, I don't wanna say such a thing to someone who has a heartbreaking problem like that but if she's gonna mlike ruin my family, I'm not gonna let her. Hell be damned! I'm gonna punish her with my own hands. My eyes never left Lexi until she completely disappeared from my sight. My phone suddenly rang. interrupting us. I looked at Pierce as I answered Emily's call. "Hello? Emily?" [Kelly, are you with Matt?] My forehead creased. "I'm with Pierce. Not with Matt. Why?" [Kelly, he's missing!] "Huh?" I was shocked. What did she say? [Kelly, he toldgonna spy on his father again last night and until now, he's not showing up nor even calling.
It's so unusual of him not to disturblike this.] I pressed my lips together. "He might just be busy, Em.
[Mason Foster confronted me. He's so angry and he's askingwhere his brother is. He's missing, Kelly. And I have a huge hunch about who took him.] I gritted my teeth. "Go to Pierce's house, Emily. We'll see you there." [I'm on my way. Kelly...] Her voice slowed down. "I'm gonna send you the voice record Matt gave to me. Just in case..] "Nothing will happen to you, Emily. Don't send it to me. I want you to show it topersonally. So drive and don't stop driving until you reach Anderson's mansion." [I'll... be there.]
I nodded and took a deep sigh. I'm scared for her. I remember what happened to Luke. When he om discovered something, he was killed. Now, Matt must've discovered something too and he's missing. Emily. I can't lose Emily. She's my good friend. I looked at Pierce after ending the call. "We have to go back home, Pierce." He nodded and intertwined our fingers. "We're going hnow, Kelly. She'll be there. She'll be safe." X
