His Mafia Princess - J.H

Chapter 99

Mirriella pov

"Mirri? What are you doing over here?" Daniel asked as he opened the door.

"What do you mean?" I asked him as I walked into his  apartment and sat down on his sofa.

The nurses told me that the pain would go away when the bleeding almost completely stopped because the trapped nerve would have been released.

"What do you mean 'what do you mean'? You don't live here anymore, how come you've got a bag here and everything?" He asked, pointing to the bag I had collected from Jaden's.

"Oh right. Jaden broke up with me and kicked me out." I shrugged as he just looked at me wide-eyed.

"But what about the baby?" He questioned, sitting down next to me.

"What baby? It's dead. I killed it because I stressed myself out too much and it caused me to have a heart attack or something and he couldn't cope with it all." I laughed bitterly.

I can't cry anymore, but talking about it makes me want to. I physically have nothing left to give in the form of tears, but talking about my son makes me want to cry, and because I can't it just leaves me with a load of emotional pain that I can't get away from ever.

"He?" Daniel questioned.

"Oh yeah, I was going to have a son. My own little baby boy. But I can't because I killed him. He died because of me, and I took away Jaden's baby." I answered him.

"Mirri, I'm so sorry. Do you need a place to stay or something?" He asked.

"No. I've still got my old apartment leased. And until he realises it, I'm still getting money from the company, so I'm set for that. But I will still try and work around here." I answered as I stood up.

"Well, call me if you need anything." He smiled as he walked me to the door.

"I will." I fake smiled as I walked away, immediately dropping the happy act.

My apartment was across town, but you can see it from here. It was right by the hill that looks over the beach. Daniel has one there too, but he more so uses that when Celia wants to go to the beach. I didn't have the energy to face any more people today so I decided to walk over.

It's quite peaceful to just walk. For once, the air around here didn't smell like smoke. Everywhere I passed by, I thought back to the one time I brought Jaden down here. How he was so intrigued by everything he saw because he wasn't used to it. It was quite fascinating to watch him look over everything he saw, or question everything.

It didn't take me long to get back to my apartment. I walked in and dumped my bag. Almost everything was how I left it. Except for the fact that all my painting stuff was at Jaden's. The dead plant I have in here is still dead because it hasn't had water in ages. The old shoes are still scattered across the floor from where I was too lazy to move them. There are even still a few bowls on the kitchen side that are growing mould from when I went through my depression phase.

I trudged my way over to the bed and dumped all the neatly folded clothes onto the floor. I laid down on the bed and grabbed the little stuffed animal I kept on it. It was a little otter and it had one of the cutest little faces on it ever. I've had it since I was born. When I was old enough to name it, I decided the best name for my little otter would be Hippo. I smiled at the memory and held it close to my chest. I laid on my side and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Things haven't been easy. For a while I was really down. Once the realisation hit that I had lost Jaden and everything happy in my life, I refused to do anything. I didn't eat, I didn't drink, I didn't shower. I didn't even sleep very well. If it wasn't for the fact that Daniel wanted to check up on me, I could've been dead.

It took about two weeks for me to finally come to terms with what I had lost. During those two weeks, Daniel made sure to stop by everyday so that he could ensure I was eating and drinking the amounts I should.

I slowly started to build my life back up to what it was. Jaden still hadn't frozen my card, or stopped the money going into it for that fact, so I didn't really need to get a job. I decided that I was just going to help out Cecil and Livvy in the shop. They tried to lay me for my work but I refused to accept it.

I'm rarely at my apartment anymore. If I'm not working down at the shop, or helping out Daniel in the garage he works at, I'm always sat on top of the hill. It's sort of fun to watch all the families playing down on the beach. Watching siblings build sand castles together and then arguing over who gets the bucket and spade.

That's actually what I'm doing now. I'm just sat on top of the hill, watching over. The wind started to pick up a little bit and I felt goosebumps arise in my skin. My body shivered, but I wasn't going to go inside. The sun was bound to set any minute now, and that's one of my favourite parts of this hill. Watching the sunsets is absolutely breathtaking.

I pulled the hoodie that was on my body around me tighter and brought my knees to my chest. I heard shuffling behind me, but ignored it, thinking it was just the wind moving the grass around. But then the wind changed direction. It carried along a scent I knew all too well.

"Hey."
