Pull Me Back To You

CHAPTER-4

When the officer informed me about Lillian's accident, I was shook to the core. Worry engulfed me but so did fear. Turns out Lillian went to the next state to meet her ex-husband and while on her way back met with an accident.
Her son has been informed and will reach her soon but her ex-husband couldn't be contacted. The drunk driver who crashed into her had no relations to her whatsoever.

Guilt clawed at my heart as I thought about the letter I earlier received. I just wish it doesn't turn out to be the same person who did that  to her.

Stacey was out of town and Darius was already out for some meeting. It felt selfish of me to ask them to leave whatever stuff they had and drop me to Lillian so I did what any other person would do.

Catched a bus.

But any other person would not be in the danger for their lives and I am so this shouldn't have been a choice but honestly this is all I could have done.

I also can't leave Lillian alone when she might be in all of this due to me.

The bus stopped as every other passenger moved out. I had to change buses from here.
Hopping out of the bus I struggled to  find a cafe till the time the next bus comes.

Finding a cafe suitable enough, I ordered some fries, burger and chicken nuggets along with some soda.

I have a huge appetite people say.

"Miss Adrienne Knight, pleasure to meet you" A guy, no younger than 40 or 45 stood in front of me with his hands crossed "may I take a seat? "

I nodded and he sat right infront of me.
Taking in all of his appearance, I noticed he was wearing a formal suit. But off course what shocked me was that he knew me.

"How do you know me? " I saw his eyes widening as I narrowed my eyes. Might as  well go all in with the questions and get something if I can.

"I used to work for your father you know. It was around 8-9 years back so maybe you have forgotten" He tried to tease me. Well his tone said he was trying to tease.

"If it was 8-9 years back then how did you recognise me?" I fought back. There was no way I am believing this guy.

"Come on girl, I saw you growing up. I may have had worse relations with your father after that but I can't get angry on you kids. You were almost a daughter to me" he gave me a big smile as he said that.

Something didn't still settle right.

"What do you mean worse relations? "

"We fought and cut the ties. Ryder Knight is a man of dominance. And even though I used to think of him as an elder brother earlier, I couldn't take more of the way he treated me you know" reasoning with me he raised his cup of latte and took a long sip making sounds.

I don't like people who make sounds while sipping on coffee or tea. Even those people who  breath making sounds.

His phone rang before he could open his mouth again and he excused himself. Taking that as my cue to leave, I ran.

God knows if this is the person who sent me the letter because of his barrel with my father. Taking a turn right and then running straight for 10 minutes I took the first left I saw.

I was out of breath and I don't even know if I can walk. Maybe I should find another bus which leaves sooner. It might not be safe to roam here now that someone here knows me more than I know about myself. This shouldn't be hard. But then again, I know nothing about the city.

He said my father is Ryder Knight. My eyes went wide as I remembered the doctor calling the grey eyed guy Mr Knight. That means he was my father.
I ran away from my family when I woke up.

But they were calling me Adrienne Johnson. If my father's name is Ryder Knight shouldn't I be-
Another realisation which I am hoping to be false.

There's only one way a girl might change from Knight to Johnson.

No it can't be.

A young girl came running towards me as I was sitting in some random park I saw and decided to sit for a while.

Tugging at my shirt she told me to come play with her. When I denied playing with her she pouted and left, her pout reminding me about a specific someone.

Darius.

If I am married, if that's what made me Adrienne Johnson, what will happen in me and Darius?
But should I really be thinking about someone who didn't even come looking for me. It has almost been three years since I ran away from that hospital.

If there's someone I am married to, should I really be thinking about him when he didn't think about me? Maybe he even moved on.

A ball brought me out of my thoughts as it hit my knee. Picking it up I saw it and remembered it belonged to the same girl who wanted to play with me.

Irritating kids.

When I looked up, words left my body as I saw her running straight towards that road. Nobody even noticed her.

"Hey" I shouted taking the ball with me as I went after her to stop her.

"Hey stop"  I shouted even louder when she reached the road.

What was the problem with these people, why doesn't anybody notice. By this time I was running towards hers with all I had left.

As she stood in the middle of the road she turned towards me as I was seconds away from grabbing her and pulling her out of this busy road.

She looked at me crying and she looked scared, why wasn't she moving? Just as a car came running towards me out of nowhere when I reached the middle of the road, fear struck me.

Even before I can grab the girl she easily ran back and I turned around fast enough to see a car come running towards me.

Something finally came to my mind as the car was seconds away from me, this girl coming to me and running back there was planned to end like this.

The car finally crashed where it intended to.
