Next morning, Mia reluctantly dragged herself out of bed, brushed her teeth, took her bath then got dressed to go out. She didn't feel like going out but she had already promised Granny that she would and besides that she couldn't stay depressed forever just because James Got Charlotte pregnant, she had to move on with her life.
When she was ready to go, Granny gave her some money to buy whatever would cheer her up. She took the money and hugged Granny then went to a clothing store to get a bikini because she planned on going to the beach. Maybe the atmosphere or staring at the Ocean or maybe being around cheerful people would cheer her up? she bought a drink and sat down staring at the children there, observing happy Families. Something she never had and also looking at happy couples which made her feel lonely. She wished things had turned out differently between herself and James, she wished Charlotte had never come into the picture. She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice James standing next to her with a big smile on his face
"Mia!"
he called to confirm she was the person he was seeing as he felt like his heart was about to explode with joy
"Ja-James?"
Mia replied surprised. She never thought she would see him that very day at the beach. Her eyes lit up immediately she saw him, she slowly stood up and they both hugged each other for a moment they both forgot about the Charlotte situation but then....
"okay umm that's enough James. What about your child and Charlotte?"
Mia asked pushing James away
"oh that. Come on take a seat"
"okay I'm seated"
"well you know we have not been in touch for some time now"
"I wonder why"
"she confessed to me that the baby wasn't mine"
"what! when was that?"
"3 days ago she came to my house behaving strange and she just started talking of how she didn't like you and she was jealous of our relationship so when she got pregnant the father of the baby didn't want to have anything to do with her so since she slept with me and envied our relationship, she decided to pin it on me so she could have me all to herself and also ruin the relationship I have with you"
"wow! I don't even know what to say. So all this time that pregnancy wasn't yours?"
"that's what I'm saying. That girl is just so wicked"
James said making Mia laugh
"well that's what you get for sleeping with a wicked witch"
They both laughed
"so we're good now?"
"well I'm still hurt that you slept with her, accidents or not"
"Mia I'm sorry what do I have to do so you'll forgive me?"
"I don't know but eventually I might forgive you. You know what its none of my business it's not like you're my boyfriend or anything"
"Mia stop why are you talking like that? what about that time you told me you were in love with me?"
"you know what? I have to go, I have a lot of work to do at home".
Mia got up and left without knowing James was following her behind. He wanted to know where she lived because since God had finally answered his prayers by making their parts cross again he wasn't going to lose her this time which was why he followed her and watched her go into Granny's house slamming the door afterwards from a distance then went home.
Meanwhile Kelly and Lizzy sat down in silence waiting for Charlotte to say something because since she arrived at Kelly's apartments she hadn't said a word
"Lizzy is this normal?"
Kelly asked breaking the silence
"I don't think so but maybe it is for her. You know we haven't seen her in 2 months"
"okay let's just sit here and return back to our awkward silence"
"the lady came!"
Charlotte revealed
"what lady?"
Lizzy asked
"the strange lady I told you guys about"
"the one who you said wants you to stay away from James?"
"yes Kelly. Now she wants to kill me she really wants to kill me" Charlotte said with a panicky voice
"Charlotte I think you should take a deep breath and explain this to us properly"
"yeah Kelly is right"
"okay I'm calm now. So I was going home some days back and it felt like someone was following me or watching me so I got scared because it was dark and the route I took was very lonely so I ncreased my pace out of fear but that feeling didn't go away so I decided to run. As soon as I reached my home I quickly opened my door and slammed it shut when I got in. I felt relieved that whatever was out there didn't get me but as soon as I opened my room door I saw her, she was lying on my bed!"
Charlotte said with tears in her eyes
"wait who?"
Kelly asked
"the red-haired lady from my dreams, I saw her in reality and she was lying on my bed with three other girls standing beside her. They all had red hair too but each of them had one white eyeball and the red. She was wearing a short white dress while the three wore long black dresses. They were all laughing in a really scary manner, I tried to run away but the lady appeared in front of me and asked me where I was going then pushed me to the ground and looked me dead in the eyes it was as if my inside was burning, I begged her to leave me alone but the pain increased each time I pleaded. It was like I was about giving up but then the pain ceased. The three girls continued laughing and chanting a song in a language I didn't understand but then all four of them vanished. The next thing I saw was blood! Lizzy, Kelly she killed my baby and she wrote that she was going to come for me too if I didn't listen to her last warning, she wrote it with my baby's blood!"
Charlotte narrated crying bitterly and shivering while Lizzy and Kelly stared at her feeling both shocked and terrified
"you have a baby?"
Kelly asked in a low voice
"well I've been avoiding the both of you since I found out I was pregnant"
"what! Who got you pregnant? Was it James?"
"No. Greg got me pregnant"
"then why did the lady kill the child and say she'll come for you soon?"
"after I found out I told Greg but he said he didn't want to have anything to do me anymore after the first month so I pinned the pregnancy on James since we had sex once. That kind of destroyed the relationship he had with Mia"
"how could you do that Charlotte. no wonder the lady wants to kill you I warned you to stay away from him but no you didn't. I don't know about you Lizzy but Charlotte I'm afraid I can't be friends with you anymore. I don't want things that are happening to you to happen to me"
"what! Kelly you can't leave me now we are friends"
"not anymore Charlotte"
"I'm afraid I'll have to agree with Kelly. That lady could come for I and Kelly because we're friends with you"
"you too Lizzy?I thought you were my friends. Friends don't leave each other in times like this they stick together"
"oh no Charlotte we didn't encourage you to sleep with James, we weren't even aware you were pregnant. We didn't advise you to pin the pregnancy on James and Kelly warned you to stay away from that guy but you didn't listen and now you want us to suffer with you? that's not going to happen"
"please guys don't do this to me please I beg you. Kelly I was even going to ask if you could let me stay with you because since then I haven't slept in my apartment I've been staying in a hotel"
"no you can't stay with me  Charlotte please leave my house"
"are you asking me out of your house? Lizzy do you support this?"
"she said you should leave"
Lizzy responded looking away from Charlotte
"and I won't let you stay with me either so don't bother asking me"
"s-so you b-both can do this to me?"
Charlotte asked in disbelief as tears drops for her eyes
"listen Charlotte the reason we are doing this is because we don't want things coming after us as well. Just leave I'm sorry"
Lizzy apologised feeling a bit sorry for Charlotte
"you both are really going to regret this"
Charlotte said calmly then took her bag and left feeling abandoned.
  What they didn't know was that, that was the last time they would see and speak to Charlotte alive. She was crossing the empty road when a car suddenly came from nowhere and hit her the last person she saw was the red-haired lady smiling and waving her goodbye
"that's what you get for messing with Astra"
she said then vanish with the car.
  Despite all Charlotte had done to James he still felt very sad when he heard about her death. It came as a shock to him because he spoke to her some days ago but now she was gone, Charlotte was no more. If only she had chosen to become a better person and not cause so much trouble maybe things wouldn't have ended the way they did for her.
Wicked people always die painful deaths indeed.

😨 what just happened?
Do you think Charlotte deserved what happened to her?
