Beyond our eyes | COMPLETED

Lips that lie

"Yea, saw it when I was coming to meet you guys" Rocco said casually
The two back tires that rolled from Emmanuel car stood on top of each other
I shook my head "this is serious" I said slowly.
"Let's go" Rocco dragged me to his garage, probably not wanting me to see more of that.

We got in his car and he drove to where Emmanuel and Jessica waited.
They got in and Rocco drove us to the nearest hospital.

He parked at parking lot and I was about to come down to follow my friends in when he grabbed my wrist "we're not going" he authoritatively said which instantly angered me.

I yanked my wrist from him on "what do you mean we're not going, this is my family we're talking about"

"We're not going" he said again then turned his head from me, facing his front.
"Look Dinah, just stay with him, we'll find our way back" Jessica said.

I shook my head, no
This is all my fault, I wouldn't forgive myself if I don't, I thought and looked at Rocco "suit yourself"
I said and opened the door.

"Dinah where are yuu going?" I ignored his question and made my way with Emmanuel and Jessica to the hospital.
He'd eventually start coming, or at-least that's what i thought.

We were about to enter when a car that was peacefully parked jerked forward and hit an almost unconscious Jessica

"Wahh" I shouted, not even able to form a proper word. Within seconds, Rocco run to where we were, seeing the drama that unfolded.

Emmanuel clutched her closer as he cried "nooo"
The EU rushed with a bed haven seen what happened and I was about to follow when Emmanuel shoved me away from them.

"Don't fucking come near her" he shouted
Rocco stood in front of me, defending me "dude calm down, this isn't her fault"he said

"Stay out of this?" Emmanuel said then looked at me with the most vicious face "you better pray to whatever God you serve that nothing happens to her" he said then walked inside the hospital.

I don't think I've ever felt my heart shatter like this
Even when my mom died, i mean i never really got to know her anyways. When my dad got remarried, when my ex cheated on me, nothing affected me like this.
I watched my whole world shatter as Emmanuel walked away from me.

"Let's go". Rocco urged me as after I while
I looked at him, didn't argue, didn't say anything, just obeyed.

He held my hand, opened the car door for me, closed it when I got inside then went to the drivers seat and drove.

I couldn't think of any other thing besides what happened today. I replayed everything in my head, from the shop, to Rocco's house, to the tires falling, to the windscreen breaking, to the hospital, everything.
Everything Emmanuel said, the look on his face, the hate filled in his eyes as he talked, i replayed them all.
I couldn't fight the tears from falling, I'm so stupid.
How could i have been so reckless.

"Don't blame yourself, you're only human to make mistakes" Rocco said like he could hear my thoughts  on our  ride to what i assume is his house.

We arrived there shortly and as I opened the door with speed, wanting to run inside when he came behind me, trying to talk to me "Dinah" he said

"Don't" I snapped "all I asked was for you to follow me to the hospital but you couldn't, this is all your fault" i blamed him even though i felt like i was more at fault for being irrational.

He shook his head "look, I know you're upset but—-" I interrupted him
"No, you don't know anything, you probably don't know what it is to have genuine people, to love and value someone, that's why you didn't go, that's why you stayed in the car" i poured my emotions, crying as i did so.
