From Then Till Now: A Jamaican Love Story Book 1

Chapter 18

Shanya's POV

Wednesday 10:15 AM

I'm wrapped up in bed, I haven't been to school and my phone has been off since Sunday.

My period came on Monday which means my cycle has changed. At least I'm not pregnant, the morning after pill did its job.

I'm heartbroken and I don't want to be around anyone. I have hardly eaten anything since Sunday but I'm not hungry.

I need some water, I finished the bottle I had. I get up and head downstairs to get a a new bottle, I feel dizzy but I manage to make my way into the kitchen. I take up a bottle of water from the counter and open it. I drink quickly but I feel like I'm going to be sick, I hold my stomach and move quickly to the bin, throwing up.

As I hold up my head, everything goes black, I feel myself falling but I can't stop it. My head collides with the floor and pain shoots through me, Shit, I try to get up but I'm too weak, I take deep breaths trying to fight the darkness that is taking over me. God, please don't let me die like this, I hear the alarm go off as the darkness pulls me under.

Alex's POV

I haven't spoken to Nya since she left on Sunday. I tried reaching out to her to explain what happened, but her phone is off.

I could've gone by to see her and explain in person, but I am hurt by the way she compared me to her ex.

How could she do that? One photo and she doubt me. I'm upset with her, so I threw myself into my work. Computers have never failed me; they listen and are obedient.

Even though I'm upset with her for not giving me a chance to explain I still want to see her.

I've been watching the cameras at her house to see if I can get a glimpse of her, but she's been in her room for days. I've seen Leah bringing food to her room, but I see her bringing them back out barely touched.

Leah left for school hours ago and I finally see Nya's door open, she exits her room. What the fuck, something is not right, she looks sick and it's obvious she has lost weight.

I stand up getting ready to go get her because I know I'm to be blamed.

I watch as she makes her way shakily down the stairs and to the kitchen. I switch to the kitchen cameras and observe her. No, something is wrong, she can barely open the water bottle.

I quickly hack into the system while watching her drink the water a little too fast. She vomits in the bin and I'm helpless as I see her fall to the floor. I set off the alarm hoping that my team has a good response time today.

If anything happens to Nya because they failed to execute at the highest level, I'm firing every fucking one of them.

I rush out the house and jump into the Mercedes Benz. I call an ambulance and then I call Jubba from the car and tell him to get to Nya now.

My heart is in my mouth, is this punishment for fucking Nya in a church? Well, punish me Lord, not her, she didn't want to do it, I forced her.

Five minutes later Jubba calls.

"Yow!" I say.

"Boss, she's on her way to UWI hospital, ambulance no reach so the guys put her in the van and bringing her there, she is unresponsive and there was blood coming from her head." He reports.

I scream at the top of my lungs! "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

"Alex, she's going to be fine, I'm on my way there, trust your team to get her there in time." I hear him say.
