My psycho side

Girl infront of my gate

  I spend the whole day working since a new project is on progress. Everyone's busy. Nel physically participates with the workers. Larrissa, Cass and I get busy with the blue prints of the building and outlining and correcting whatever needs corrections. Rita is no where to be seen and I start to feel worried.

  Rita is a good friend of Cassandra that she became Nelson's and my friend. You can say we are a little family and therefore I care for her like I care for Cass. I see her like another little sister. Although I despise her brother, it has never stopped us from loving and caring for each other.

  "I'm exhausted Ark." Cass starts whining next to me on the couch using the short form she gave me since we were young. She couldn't say Clark but Ark, so the nickname continued til we were grown-up.

  "If you are exhausted, just imagine how I feel." I reply.

  "You didn't do much you idiot except order people around." She snickers and that gets to me. She's all the power boast I need.

  "Sorry to break it to you baby sis, I AM THE CEO. So I can do whatever I want." I rub her hair an action she has hated since she was young.

  "Stop that. You're ruining my hair."

  "Oh yeah." I stretch my hand and rub her hair again. She tries to move out the way but I'm faster. I hold her in place and really do some damage to her perfect hair.

  "Sir?" Larrissa stands infront of the door with a warm smile plastered on her face. This isn't the first time she has walked in on us play teasing each other. It definitely won't be the last.

I stand and smooth my hands down my suit, straightening it out.

  "Yes Larrissa." Cass straightens her hair with a grumpy look on her face. It makes me chuckle and I cover my mouth with my hand when she looks up at me.

  "I'll be leaving Sir. It's already eleven." Oh time went by so fast.

  "Don't address me as 'sir'. Just call me Clark or whatever."

  "But..."

  "No buts and let me drive you home. It's late like you said." She opens up her mouth to say something but the look I give her gets her to shut up.

  "Yes sir, I mean Clark." And she smiles that warm smile that reminds me of mom. Her presence feels just like mom's and she makes me miss her less. I feel as if mom's around whenever I'm around her.

  "Let's go Cass."

  "I'll make you pay for this."

  "By the way, that's payment for locking me out of my own house." We keep bickering back and fourth until we drop Larrissa off.

  "Have a good night children and take care."

  "Good night."

  "Good night." Cass and I say in unison. Soon we hit the road and continue where we stopped. The journey home is much shorter considering it's like a two hour trip from Larrissa's house.

  "STOP." Cass screams and I hit the brakes.

  "What the fuck C..."

  "Shut up and get down."

  "I won't until you explain to me wh..."

  "There's someone lying down by the gate." I get down and look down and notice someone on the floor. What the fuck?

  I run to where the body is and as I get closer I realize it's a woman. I crouch down and check her pulse. It's slow but it's there.

  "Is she fine?" Cass asks.

  "Yeah absolutely Cass. Can't you see she's lying here unconscious?" Sometimes she's really dumb.

I lift her head up and I feel something silk and warm and a metallic smell fills the air. Blood.

  "Call Adan right now Cass." I lift the unconscious woman and put her in the back seat and drive the remaining distance to the mansion.

I wonder what happened. Why does this woman have blood flowing out of her head? I hope it's nothing serious.

  I carry the girl to the guest room and lay her on the bed. Not too long after, Adan comes.

  Adan is a close friend of mine. A dirty blonde with brown eyes. He's only three years older than me. He's been out of the country for a while on a study mission or something. Since he's a well known doctor, he's always busy hence we don't get to spend a lot of time together but we always talk.

  "What's the emergency C? You had me really worried."

  "I found this unconscious girl in front of my gate. She's in the guest room." He walks to the room and examines her while Cass and I wait patiently in the living room.

  After about thirty minutes or so, he steps out of the room with a frown.

  "Is she fine?" Cass asks.

  "I can't really say. She has suffered a bad hit to the head and her body is littered with bruises but it's nothing to worry about. She only needs a brain scan and for that we have to take her to the hospital."

  "Does she need it like right now? We can..."

  "No, it's fine. I cleaned the injury and all she needs now is plenty of rest. The scan will be done when she wakes up."

  "How long will she be unconscious?" I ask.

  "For about 24hrs. She just needs some cleaning and a change of clothes."

  "I'll do that." Cass says and walks to the room.

  "Well, I've some work to do so I'll see you around."

  "Hmm take care."

  "You too. Take care of her too." He leaves and I sit down allowing the day's toil take control of me.
