Going crazy

After a bit of an awkward standing in the waiting room with Lucas and Ivanita, Marcus finally showed up and came out the room.

He was having a quite big bandage on his head wound. His cheeks were like red-blue, due to the impact in the crash.

He seemed really down and tired.

Me and Lucas immediately approached him.

"Marcus, you okay? Are you alright??" - Lucas embraced him.

"Yeah, I'm good..." - replied Marcus but it didn't look like he was telling the truth.

I didn't say a single word. I just ran and hugged him tight as I never did. He hugged me back with a smile.

"So, Marcus everything looks fine. There are no internal injuries or health complications. You got lucky, not gonna lie. A few people would survive a frontal collision with a tree at 100 mph, and you even did it with no injury. Except for your head wound that's pretty bad, everything's fine." - explained the doctor.

"Thank you, doctor! Appreciate it!" - said Lucas.

We left the hospital and headed for home.

We got there and sat on the couch.

"Marcus, how did that happen?" - Lucas started to bother Marcus.

"I don't know, I don't wanna talk about this. How was your party by the way?" - Marcus inquired, but I knew he did it because was curious why Ivonne didn't hand Lucas to those men.

"Why are you asking about that? It doesn't matter right now, you just came out of the hospital." - replied he.

I went to the kitchen to make something for dinner.

Ivonne sneaked in there after me without me noticing.

She shut the door and came to me.
I was cutting an apple at that moment.

"I hope you had a time to think about what I told you. Did you take a decision or not yet?" - she asked.

"I did answer you. I would never do that." - I uttered.

"So, you're not doing it? Okay, alright. But you know what's coming next." - Ivonne took the knife and cut her palm indifferent, as she did the last time and blamed me in front of Lucas.

Her hand started bleeding.

I looked at her shocked and decided to fight back and play her game.

I took the knife and cut my hand as she did.

It hurt, not gonna lie. She didn't see this coming.

Ivonne looked me with anger that I crashed her plan and stared at me with dead look.

"I told you, I'm not doing that! Can you just mind your own business and leave me alone?!" - I got angry.

"Listen here, you whore! If you refuse to work for me, what's my benefit of you?! Apart of that mite Marcus, I'll have to eliminate you as well! This is serious things, I'm not joking! Do I look like someone who's not serious to you?! Am I dumb in your opinion?!" - she was furious and started getting closer to me.

She pressed me to the wall. I was scared.

"No, I didn't mean to-" - "Do you think my patience will tolerate bitches like you that are trying to prevent my goals?! You're pathetic and you're not gonna stop me from achieving my revenge!" - Ivonne took out some kind of blade and reached out to stab me.

She went crazy.

I was terrified. But I realized there was no exit and went with the flow. I needed up closing my eyes and covering my head with my hands of fear.

She swung with the blade, but something happened in the last second.

Marcus had squeezed the blade from her hand, and stopped her from probably killing me. She was out of control.

Marcus's hand got bloody as well, since he didn't grab her hand, but squeezed the blade's acute part for some reason.

Ivonne looked at Marcus holding the blade from her hand, and was shocked.

I opened my eyes with fear and gasped.

It was leaking blood on the ground from his hand.

Our hands were hurt as well, but not as bad as his.

"The f*ck are you doing?! Stop it!" - Marcus asked Ivonne with low voice and despatchful look.

"Let go! Get freaking off!" - he let go of the blade and Ivonne put it in her pocket.

"You'll see! Expect a new year with a new enemy! Y'all are gonna regret that!" - Ivonne left.

"Um,...are you okay?" - I inquired still frightened and got closer to him.

"Yeah, I'm alright. What's with your hand? Did she do it?" - he replied.

"No, um... everything's fine. She just went crazy for some reason."

"Nah, this has to stop. I'm-i'm sorry... This has nothing to do with you, I just brought you my problems. I didn't mean it. We only recently met, and we don't got peace." - Marcus bandaged his hand.

"It's okay, it's not your fault either. I'd just like to have more time and get to know you." - "Yeah, me too." - he said.

We hugged each other lovely.

Ivanita's POV at their bedroom

"Babe, where are you going?" - I asked as I stepped in the room and saw Lucas getting ready to go out.

"I'm going on a job interview, babe. The job is really good, if they hire me and I like it, we get the chance to live in Maryland again. So, wish me luck!" - told me Lucas.

"Wh-at? How come you don't tell me?" - he messed up my plans.

"I wanted to surprise you, babe. What's with it?"

"Babe, I got used to London already. But anyways, I'm just not in a mood. I don't got an appetite either." - I complained.

"Don't worry, it's normal, right? We haven't gone for a check up, babe! Which week are you in?" - Lucas started with that topic again.

"Um,....I think eleventh or tenth? I'm not sure though." - I uttered.

"Why is your tummy not growing up, though? I wanna see it." - he smiled.

"Oh, it's too early, babe." - I told him with an awkward laugh.

"Okay, good luck on the interview! Don't be late for it! Love you!" - we kissed and he left.
