Love Beyond Life

Chapter 8: An Eye for an eye

P.O.V Ally

Lauren was sitting on the porch of the house with airy eyes and that left me floorless, she held a small necklace in her hands and the golden wedding band came back to occupy her ring finger.

- Lauren?

- Hey Ally...

She said with a sigh hiding her face between her legs trying to hide that she was crying.

- Don't be ashamed, honey...

- I feel so weak without her... And even weaker without you.

- Lauren doesn't talk like that, let's be fine.

- I swear Ally, if you get out of this... Alias.... When you get out of this coma I'll ask you to date.

- I will charge.

- You can charge.

She smiled broadly and wiped her tears with the long sleeves of her blouse.

- Come to sleep sweetie...

- All right, Allycat.

I gave her a discount, that night she could call me that.  I sat down next to her and hummed until she fell asleep.

....

Lauren was still asleep in bed, last night was a long one for her.  I kept sitting watching her body lying on the bed and I missed my body, so before Lauren woke up I went to the hospital to visit my body.

I entered the place and saw my friends in the break room talking about random things, I entered the Supervision room by accident and saw Liam sitting in the chair that was supposed to be mine, his feet on the table and his cell phone glued to the listening while he was talking. with someone and laughed.

- You got what you wanted, my job.

- Yeah, I deserve it.

I took a step back when I saw him answer me, but soon realized that he was only answering the person on the other end of the line.

- Dirty, perverse.

- Thanks.

I gave an ironic laugh and looked at him closely, seeing his brown eyes in my direction and a devilish smile appear on his face.

- There are people with real problems here like you and I are on this damn phone!

- Nice...

I lost patience and left, entering my room and seeing a man all in black standing beside me, or rather, beside my body.

- It's blonde, you're really beautiful.

He ran his fingers through my hair and touched my face gently.

- Disgusting, get away from me!

Wait... That voice....

The man, still with his back to me but facing my body, facing me.

- You know, I even hoped for you to get out of this coma, it's kind of hard to see my friend suffering every day... But after I met Lauren, my plans changed.

I didn't need to see his face to know who it was... Max George.  He proceeded to reach into the pocket of his black leather jacket.

- I know you weren't just friends, I see how her eyes shine when talking about you.  So... If you die... I have a chance.

He pulled a syringe out of his leather jacket pocket and gave a creepy smile.

- Time to sleep forever,  Allyson.

Before that asshole touched me, he got his body dirty and I threw him against the wall dropping the syringe with the liquid I assumed was poison.  He got up and looked around scared, still inside that disgusting body I guided him to the hospital exit and threw him on the ground, he got up and climbed on his bike totally disturbed, disappearing on the corner of the street.

I went up to my room and saw my sleeping body, the syringe was under the bed.  I needed to talk to Lauren!  I went home and was startled to hear Lauren's screams.

- ALLY, ALLY!!

- Calm down sweetie, I'm here.

- Where were you?  I thought that....

- No. I haven't disappeared yet so you'll have to put up with me.

- Fool.

- I was in the hospital and brought bad news.

- Don't tell me that...

- No. I didn't die, but they tried to kill me.

- How is it?  Who?

- Max.

- Max George?!  Why?

- Because he suspects that we are more than friends and...

- Are we more than friends?

- Lauren, I'm serious.  He wanted to get rid of me to be with you.

- Daughter of a bitch... What will we do?

- You need to talk to Brandon...

- And what am I going to say?  "Hello little brother-in-law, so I came to tell you that your friend tried to kill your sister this morning, and how do I know that? Your sister's spirit saw it and told me"?

- Not...

- We can't prove it.

For a second a name came to my head and I smiled.

- Normani Kordei....

- Who?
- A friend of mine from the hospital.  Max's tapir dropped the syringe to the ground, the same syringe that tried to kill me.  Pick her up and take her to Normani, she'll know what to do.

- But...

- But nothing, do it.

- Okay, let me wake up first.

Lauren got up from bed and took a shower, then dressed in a Lana del Rey shirt, black jeans, her black all star and the cap that made her even more beautiful.  Stared at her like a fool while she drank coffee.

- Why are you looking at me like that?

- Because you are beautiful....

- Fool.

We smiled at each other and went to the hospital, Lauren took the syringe that was still under the bed and took it to Normani, Morena already worked in the police department before working at the hospital.  She helped with everything, and it was positive, the fingerprints were Max's and that thing on the syringe was deadly.

- Next step?

Lauren said when we were in the car.

- Brandon's house.

She drove fast and parked in front of Brandon's house who answered her quickly with a friendly hug.

- Lauren, come in.

- Thanks.

Lauren walked in and sat on the couch while Brandon plopped into his chair.

- What brings you here?

"The idiot car" he said quietly and Lauren chuckled softly.

- Brandon look....

Lauren handed the envelope to Brandon who looked incredulous.

- What is it?

- Max was in the hospital this morning and tried to kill your sister.

- How do you know that.

- I have my sources in there.

- I'm going to kill that son of a bitch.

Brandon's face turned red with the anger he felt and Lauren grinned devilishly.  Max was in bad shape... Hell would be little for that damn playboy!
