The Wrong Number

Got bailed

Aurora's POV

He was the one on that bridge. We have been in each other's life all along. The guy I called on that night was him. He was right, what God really wants from us? Why he is doing all this? It doesn't make sense. I do have an answer, but if he really wanted us to be together, then why did he make us meet those people? Augustus met someone who cheated on him, now it must be hard for him to trust anyone. And I met that man who was so evil. I don't think so, I will ever let anyone enter my house again. 

But... But if it is him, then maybe. 

I was in my thoughts while walking home.

I drove April home in the afternoon and left my car there just in case. 

I was about to reach home. It was around the corner. I saw someone was standing in the dark spot in front of the vacant house.

Who could be standing there all alone? 

Sometimes some teenagers does stand there and make out, but this man was standing all alone.

I got a little nearer and I started to feel uneasy for some unknown reason. I paced up my steps. When got close enough to see who that person is, my heart stopped. 

"Wha... How... You should be in the jail right now." I asked, baffled.

"I got bailed easily. You may have forgotten how influential I am." He smirked.

My heart sank. What does he want? How could they release him so easily?

"What are you doing here? How could you even dare to come here?"

"Why not? I am still someone you need." He said indifferently.

That got me so angry. I remembered what he actually did. How he hurt my baby sister. I marched over to him and looked him in the eyes.

"You are a disgusting man and it was the biggest mistake of my life that I let you treat me and my family so badly. But you are delusional if you had thought, even for a second, that I will let you do that again." I could not believe that he has the audacity to even stand in front of me. He is sick in his head, I am sure of it. "I will kill you if you ever dared to come near anyone of my family." I warned him furiously. 

"Oh! So you can talk now? I never knew that you had this within you. You never showed this fierce side of yours before, nothing would have happened then." He slowly walked towards me. I took a hurried step back. He took a hold of my arm and took a lock of my hair in his hand as he continued. "I was so bored of you only that's why I had to go to other girls. If you have..." Before he could complete his sentence I did something I should have done earlier. I slapped him hard. He stumbled back from the impact. I wanted to do more, but I didn't want to drag this matter. And I already warned him, he might behave now. I turned to walk away.

"You bitch..." But I was wrong again, he locked his fingers in my hairs and pulled me back by force. I winced in pain. I could not let him manhandle me so I kicked him where it hurts the most, this time with all of my strength. He fell on the road, howling in pain.

"You might have thought that you are dealing with that shy innocent girl you dated, but you are mistaken, you are in front of a big sister who can do anything to protect her siblings from a monster like you." I keep on kicking him. I didn't give him a chance to even stand up because I knew he will beat me to a pulp if he got the upper hand.

He is not a lean man, but not too bulky. He still could take me down with his strength. God must be with me, that's why he stumbled and fell.

"Hey, stop. What are you doing?" Someone came from behind me and pulled me away from him. A few more people gathered around us. 

Thank God I am safe now. 

But it seemed like the situation is changed. He was the one all injured so no one knew against whom to report. The police and the ambulance came at the same time.

Will I be the one to get jailed this time?

The Ambulance took him away and the police took me. I was so scared that nothing came to my mind.

We reached the Police station. I was sitting quietly as the officer took out something from underneath his desk.

"Miss, can you tell me, in detail, what happened there?" He asked politely. He seemed a good person. 

"I... He was in jail, but then he came to hurt my family again. I was scared then I kicked him in the... in the. And someone called you." Every word of mine was getting quieter and quieter by the end. I was shivering, not knowing what to do. I have never been to a police station before. I was terrified.

"Okay, here, drink some water." He gave me a bottle. "Now, I think you should call someone from your family. I will take your statement once you calm down. You can sit here till then, okay?" He said with a sweet smile. I just nodded in reply.

I looked at my phone. I had no idea whom to call. I tap on Aston's name but could not tap the call. 

He will be so angry and he is just a kid. 

I opened some other contact number. But still didn't dare to call.

Should I... Can I really call him?

Suddenly my phone went off, it gave me a mini heart attack. I picked it up frantically because it was making too much noise.

"Hello. I hope that I am not disturbing you." He asked.

"Augustus?" I couldn't believe that he called at the moment.

"Yes." He stayed quiet, expecting me to say something. But I didn't understand what to say. "Aurora?" He said.

"Miss is it someone from your family. If you want I can talk to them. Hand it to me." The police officer said. 

"I...its..." I was not able to utter a word. The officer took my phone from my hand.

"Hello, I am officer Daniel. I am talking from the 13th Precinct. No, she is fine. She got into a fight, can you come to the station. Yes, I told you she doesn't need medical care, she is totally fine. Oh! Yes." He handed me the phone again. "He is on the phone." I took it hesitantly.

"Hello..."

"What the hell is going on? Are you fine? Nothing happened to you, right? I am on my way, okay. So don't worry. I'll be there in no time. Stay on the phone if you want." He said all worried. I could tell that he is already in the car.

"No, you are driving. It is dangerous to talk while you drive. I will be alright for the time being until you come. Co...come fast please, I am scared." I whispered the last sentence, hoping that he wouldn't hear it.

"Don't be, You know that I will not let anything happen to you, Right?" With that, he cut the call.

I know, I believe you.
