(ON HOLD) BEFORE I MET HIM

Chapter 8(Death)

"Ava for the last time you sure you don't know anything about Luke?" Xander asked me while Xavier was looking at me curiously as if I am strange something.
Jeez! this guy is a case!

I rolled my eyes in frustration "I don't know anything about this how many times will I fucking tell you or your fucking brain isn't letting it sink for you to understand"I looked at them crazily.

I lost it completely.

"Oh sure you are crazy," Xavier said nodding his head.

"Who's crazy between you and me?? "At least I don't go crazy over a mere drawing," I said in a mocking voice.

"Watch what you say, "He said giving me that dangerous look.

And what if I don't watch it will you watch it for me huh??? Even though you are a psycho at least your dead brain should be able to help you detect things you shouldn't be mad at and things you should be at.

"OMG!!Ava, you are dead meat with what you just said"I thought silently.

Suddenly, I felt a hand gripping my neck, I Can't believe he is going to strangle me.

"Watch what you say young lady" he growled. I was finding it hard to breathe raising my hand as he was applying more pressure. My eyes were teary already and breathing slowly.

"Xavier it's okay," Xander said finally having our time, Still he didn't instead he applied more pressure and I was already feeling weak, Is this how am going to die for something I know nothing about?

"XAVIER KING!!! I SAID STOP IT!!!"Xander said in a loud commanding voice. Before he finally leaves me alone. I fell weakly not after seeing the dangerous look he gave me and left.

Xander stared at me before he finally left. I was left all alone finding it hard to breathe pressing my chest, I looked around and saw a bottle of water on the other side of the bed I crawled weakly took the water drank it before I closed my eyes into the darkness.

***
Days passed after the incident, and I hardly see Xavier and Xander, the Maid always come to check on me every hour just to make sure I am fine. She takes care of my wound, I tried making friends with her just to ease my mind but she will cut me off rudely and coldly. I once asked her why she always visit me almost every hour to check up on me, she said she was being assigned to do that.

She entered the room giving me one of the most beautiful smiles.

"Hey, Ava what's up, you okay?" She asked in a lively tone, it seems she is in a good mood today but I'm not in a good mood to ask questions or answer any questions-I Just wanna be alone.

"Is anything the matter?" she asked again with a concerned voice.

I stared at her.

Seriously you are asking me is anything the matter?? Everything is the matter if you don't know. What do you expect from an orphan who has suffered from her stepmother for years and finally got freed and entered into another prison whereas she is innocent, huh? I said rushing my words and passing all my frustrations into it.

"Answer me!!" She said looking at me surprised.

" Can't you talk??, She was looking at me curiously.

"I am sorry I know how you felt but you should try and calm down in every situation. I was also in this same condition," She said in a small voice.

"What did you mean by that??"I said looking at her.

She smiled and held my hand"Better days ahead" With that she stood up and left the room.

I sat down holding my hair looking at the space blankly, I don't even know what to think or react to.

I wish I had called another street instead of Penrith, I said slowly in tears. I just want to die, after all, no one will care for me. I don't have family or friends.

I just wanted to live that Normal life-that stress-free life, finding a menial job to do so I can sponsor myself to college and have a full education. Is that too much to ask? I smiled bitterly when I remembered I couldn't further into college, Of course, there was no money and support and I don't have a sponsor.

When will this suffering end, when will you be happy in this life, I just wanted a normal life.

"Nature, fate, Destiny, life, God I wasn't asking for too much. I just want to be happy. This is too much for me, I am tired and fed up" I said crying on the floor.

I stood up and slowly walked to the window, I opened the window thinking of what to do. I think ending my life is the best thing to do at this moment. What if I jumped down from this place?, it is not possible it has been covered with a net.

Ava, you've suffered so much in this one life you came. You lost your mother to the cold hands of death, Your father disappeared into the world not knowing if he is alive or dead leaving you in the hands of your stepmother who made your life hell. Luckily you ran away from her and ran into dangerous criminals that you don't even know what will happen to you in some minutes to come. I thought about it and smiled bitterly.

I looked around for a sharp object, after a while of looking around and searching everywhere. This is room is harmless, they made sure everywhere is cleaned and free.

I sat down on the bed thinking of what to do then I sighted a nail on the wall, I was happy. I stood up and then carried this stool to where the nail is, and with all the strength in me, I removed it.

I got down from the stool and went close to the bed. I held the sharp nail lost in my thoughts, I sighed, I don't have a choice, after all, I was about to cut the veins in my neck by putting the nail deep inside, when I heard a voice.

What did you think you are about to do??
