Sunless Sky

Chapter 10: Real Amy. (Completed)

"How was your day." I asked Paul who just come back.

"I found something." He said.

"What?" I asked him.

"Do you remember that restaurant issue that Josh had with a gangster?" He asked me.

"Yes, I heard he later died in prison."

"Yes, that's the one, guess what?" He said with raised eyebrows.

"What?" I said in confusion.

"Amy's his ex girlfriend." He said.

"What... she's involved with criminals too." I said shocked.

"Yes, isn't it amazing?" He said with sarcasm.

"Paul, the other day Megan told me that she saw Amy giving money to a doctor secretly when Josh died." I said.

"So, that's why she sent a gunman to silent her." He said.

"I think so." I said in a low voice.

"Sophie, why did you give our company to her." He asked.

"Because she was Josh's wife and was pregnant with his child so it felt right to let her take over," I said.

"But you both could have handled it together and you even have a degree in accounts." He said.

"You know how hard it is for me to deal with my social anxiety every day and it is a nightmare for me to handle a company with over sixty thousand employees, plus I have no experience in our work, but Amy was different she worked side by side with Josh for almost four years, she knows everything about our business.

You were not around, so I thought Amy being in charge in our company will benefit it more." I explained to him.

"You are right... you were dealing with Josh's death all alone, I should have come back sooner." He said with a hint of regret.

I realized that even when you know a person for years, you can never know a person's true nature, Amy is a perfect example for that.

I regarded her as my best friend and family, but I never thought that she was just pretending to be a kind and humble person.

Everything was a lie... Her kind smile, words, even her kind actions, now I finally understood that a person will never do anything that will not benefit them.

I never thought that a room full of darkness will give me peace that I never had in my life.

It's 3 am right now, but am still awake, I can't sleep, all this time I've been looking at the window seeing the beautiful night sky.

"It's warm," I thought to myself when a tear escaped from my eye, I don't even know why I want to cry, like I'm not feeling sad or anything, I just feel emotionless.

I feel so tired yet I can't sleep, It's been like this for a week now.

But the sky is surely beautiful, filled with Diamond like stars and with the beautiful full moon that is shining so brightly lighting my darkroom. I want to touch the sky, the clouds, I want to become closer to this beautiful sky, I want to feel the cold moon and sparkling stars.

Josh... it's painful...I don't want to bear this anymore. My life is filled with nothing but emptiness and coldness. Where are you?
I miss you so much. I said in my heart, looking at the moon hoping that he will hear me.

~~~~•~~~~

Right now I'm in prison visiting someone and it's not Andrew, it's Amy.

She came with her five month old pregnant stomach.

She has an evil smirk on her face, her blue eyes look so dark, her blonde hair is a mess, she's like a different person.

"Hey, Sophie." She said smiling.

"Stop smiling, you're making me sick." I said in a harsh tone.

"I heard you're baby's lost, are you fine." She said in a fake worried tone before breaking into laughing.

"Why." I asked calmly.

"Well... Because I hate Josh to death." She said looking at me.

"What he did." I asked her.

"He killed my love." She said with pure hated.

"No, he didn't." I again said calmly.

"Yes, he did, because of him, my Mario has to die." She said.

"So, you were pretending all these years." I said with a broken heart.

"I didn't pretend, you and your brother were so dumb to realize that I was acting." She said with no hint of regret.

"How did you kill him." I asked her.

"Oh... I just gave him some mixed drugs ." She said.

"That's why he was able to fall that easily." I asked her.

"Yep, but I think I gave him a little more than needed." She said looking like a monster.

"Your boyfriend's death got nothing to do with Josh." I said.

"It is, because of him, he was caught." She said.

"Amy... if I can go back in time, I will do anything and everything to keep Josh away from you." I said with pure bitterness.

"It's too late to say this, you know." She said.

"Everyone has to pay for their sins, And one day when that time comes you'll remember my words." I said to her.

"Yeah, yeah, sure, and bye." She said leaving.

~~~~•~~~~

"You met her." Paul asked me.

"Yeah... She's different." I said.

"Are you fine?" He asked me with a worried expression.

"Fine? Do you think I'll be fine after losing Josh, after Andrew went to jail, after losing my child and after seeing Amy's real face, no I'm not fine." I said with tears streaming down my face.

"Im sorry, it's my fault, it's all my fault." Paul said hugging me.

"Why is this happening to me?" I said crying in his chest.

"It's alright, It's not your fault." He said in a gentle tone

"It hurts, it hurts a lot, why... what I did to deserve this... Tell me, why everyone that I love is leaving me what I did to deserve this." I said sobbing.

AFTER THREE YEARS LATER.

"Hey, it's been so many days since I last saw you right?" I said placing a bunch of flowers on his grave.

"I missed you." I said leaning on his grave.

It's been so many years since Josh died.
Andrew came out of jail and Amy has been sentenced to jail for a lifetime and she had a stillborn.

Me and Megan are now friends, Paul took over our company.

And Andrew proposed to me again.

Even though my life is full of obstacles, but im still glad that im alive because I got to meet Andrew.

And I had a wonderful brother like Josh so it was all worth it.
