Through her eyes

chapter 36

*Naila*

I got discharged and still feeling sick. I can't believe I did that to myself for a man that doesn't care. I took out my first aid and change the plaster on my head. It still hurt a little. You can give your life for someone and they still won't care. I lay on the couch reading a new mystery book " the silent patient". I love reading anything related to mystery. I hate all movies unless its mysterious. I couldn't focus because all my mind could think about is Ahmad.

"How can I continue living like this?" I asked myself.

I thought about going back to therapy but I hate it there. I don't need anyone's help, I want to be loved like anyone else. Is that too much to ask for?

I received a text message and I didn't bother to check. I get up and get a coffee then pick up my phone again.

"I exposed everything"- a text message from melissa.
I almost choked on the coffee I was drinking. I quickly keep the cup and focus on the message.

I called her like 10 times and messaged her but she didn't respond. If melissa exposed everything then its over for me.

I get up and quickly get ready and head to her house even though I was complete lethargic.

I knock like I was about to break the door and she opened casually like nothing happened.

I entered and fold my arms.

"What would you like to eat or drink?" She asked.

Melissa is playing with fire! She don't know what I'm capable of doing.

"You said you exposed everything?" I asked.

"Ohh is that why you're here? I thought you missed me" she replied.

I shouted her name and moved closer. I hold her hand and twist it.

"Tell me what you did!" I said.

She started laughing and pulled her hands away.

"I am not scared of you Naila. I exposed everything, I will be free and you'll be caught"

I felt so stress I had to keep my bag aside.

"Why would you do that to me?" I asked.

"Uhmmm because you desever it" she said.

"You betrayed me melissa"

"Look who is talking about betrayal" she laugh out loud.

My brain started telling me to do something terrible so I had to leave immediately. I walked a quite long distance and I saw a stray cat. "I wish I can be free from the shackles of life, like this cat" I said and that was the moment I realized I left my bag.

I rushed back and the door wasn't lucked. I pick up my bag but my phone was not there.

If melissa manage to open my phone then that will be the end of me. I quickly rushed upstairs and saw her scrolling through near the stairs.

"Give me back my phone" she move far and ask me to come closer.

"Leylaa..." She said in shock.

"Melissa give my phone" I said hoping she didn't find out. I never regret writing in my note apps like I did in that moment.

"You're Leyla and not Naila" she uttered.

"Yes I'm Leyla and I won't stop until I take my revenge from all of you. I will take my ahmad with me"

She quickly pull her phone and started calling someone.

"Who are you calling?" I asked in panic.

"Hayal will know everything" she said.

She pick up the phone and melissa started talking. "Hayal! Naila is" she said and had to make a move.

I jump to take the phone but what happed was terrible. My phone fell on the ground and I quickly pick it up. I get my phone back but at what cost?.

Melissa and her phone fell through the stairs. It all happened in one second. I was scared to check but I opened my yes too see. Melissa started bleeding.

What a confession!
