Zara's Pov
Adonis dropped me off at my house but I would be back tomorrow to nanny Elias.
I never really liked kids and only worked at that daycare because Malcolm told me they paid well. Which was true but it felt like war.
I'm going to visit Emmy. I haven't seen her in a few days and I wanted to tell her about my new paying job.
I went outside still in the outfit Adonis's maids dressed me in and started walking. After 30 minutes I made it.
"Hi sweetie, you are Emmy's guardian, correct?" I turned and saw a middle aged lady speaking to me.
"Yes, I am her guardian." Her eyes seemed to soften and she held her hand out to touch me. I moved back avoiding her shocked face.
"Could you follow me dear? I'll speak to you on the way to her room." I walked side by side with her waiting for her to speak.
"So Emmy's condition is getting worse, the treatments haven't been working and I'm afraid she doesn't have much longer. Along with that her bills haven't been paid in months." She spoke quietly and slowly as if I was about to break.
"How long does she have?"
"2 weeks I'm afraid." She was smiling but I could tell she was sorry for me, and so was I. Emmy barely got to live her life and even after she's gone I won't be able to afford these bills.
I walked away from the lady hoping the bad news was over, I went over to Emmy's door taking a deep breath before opening the door.
She had wires hooked up to her nose and wrists, she was sleeping. I went over and kissed her forehead. "Sleep well my sweet girl."
I sat by the hair near her bed telling her about the past events in my life.
"I also went to a nightclub, it was pretty fun, I even saw Adonis there. I wish you could meet him. I think I may have a small crush on him but I'm not sure. He has a kid too, Elias, a silly little monster."
Silence took over before the sounds of beeping took over. Her eyes popped open and she stared at me. "Zara," She spoke quietly. "I think I'm dying, but really this time." No, No this can't be happening, tears were rolling down my cheeks. "I love you Za." She closed her eyes one last time and a group of doctors rushed in.
"Can, can you save her?" I tried to ask them but they shoved me to the side and soon I was out of the room.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I had been on the floor for 5 hours, no food, no water, no Emmy. The nurse had come to announce she died yesterday at 4:48pm. Earlier I was talking to myself, none of that really happened.
I picked myself off the floor and started to walk home. I now had nothing, everyone I loved was dead and I couldn't save them.
I couldn't go home to be reminded of the memories, the ones I couldn't save. I was completely broken. Before I could stop myself I was calling his number.
"Zara, what's going on? It's 5am." I stayed silent, why did I call him?
"Hello? Where are you?"
"Adonis, can you come get me, please."
"Yeah yeah Of course I can, send me your location."
