A pool of blood.
Her blood
Its Adeline's blood. She lying in the arms of the motherfucker Alex. But all i can see is blood pouring out of her chest. Fuck. Damn heart. She's shot in her fucking heart. Oh my lord, I'm going to lose my brain. I can't function. When i handed her the gun for her safety, I didn't mean that she would give her life out. I told her that i should come with her, she should not go alone to meet that Jack. He's an asshole, but she didn't listen to me. I knew something could go wrong that's why, i thought to come as well. But what the fuck, why am i so late. Its my fault, i let her go alone, i knew it was danger, still I didn't come at time. Its because of me she's shot. I can't lose her. I can't, I can't keep losing everyone i love. Damn it I can't. I'm gonna kill this motherfucker, he's the one, he's the reason she had to go through all this. I run towards where she is lying. "adeline, wakeup Addie" i hold her face in my palms, but she doesn't listen her eyes are closed. "Tell me what the fuck happened fucker" i slap Alex hard on his face. He's as if he can't hear anything, he's holding adeline with his life, but he's not even looking at me, he's as if he's dead as well. I push Alex away from adeline, he falls on his back, i grab Adeline in my arms and rush towards my car. She's breathing, Fuck she's breathing. I open the door of my car and put her down on the sit. I hear Alex's voice, he's running towards us. "Let me come" he says, blood is soaking all over his shirt, but all i want to do right now is soak his entire body in the blood. The moment he showed up in Adeline's life everything has been completely chaos. He fucked her life. He left her and then he suddenly came back. Too bad Adeline accepted him again. She fucking murdered a guy for him. And now she's on her death bed. why? Because of this mother fucker. One minute he's crying and asking me to let him come, the other minute my fist flies and punch him. I beat the shit out of him "you are the reason she's dying" punch "you are pathetic little shit" punch "you ate her fucking life you sick bastard and you have the audacity to come with me" punch.
He falls on the ground, his face covered in blood. I don't give a damn if he dies right here, i leave him there and then.
I drive as fast as i can. My heart is about to explode. "Addie please hold on" i keep telling her that. I can't lose her. Not in this life time.
Meanwhile i call my dad and uncle Caspher To inform about the situation. There wasn't just Adeline, it was 2 more body from which one I guess was Alex's friend. We need to get rid of the bodies before its become a scandal, I can't let Anyone else harm Adeline anymore.
Adeline's under operation theatre. As the doctor said, i brought her just in time. If it was even 30mins late we would have lost her. I still can't feel the sense of relief has she's still inside. My heart is about to pop out of my body. My world has crumbled. I've been distancing myself from her the moment i went to tell her about my feelings but before i could she told me about Alex. She was so much in love with him that she didn't realised my absence. From being bestie's we became mere friends who would only meet when we had to attend the events or parties and fake as couples. She told me about how much she hates this all drama she had to put up because of her dad.  But eventually when Alex came back. Her dad became soft and let her do shit. She got engaged to that fucker as well. When i got to know about it. I almost wanted to throw myself from the roof. I couldn't take it anymore. How frustrating it all was. But the next day i got call from her. When I listened to why she needed me. I was heartbroken again. She needed me, she called me first after years, just so I could find about the entire Jack situation. She kept breaking my heart more and more. And i had to pretend like i don't give a damn. Maybe just maybe if that time  I would have told her about my feelings she would have choose me over Alex. I mean i was in her life all long right? He just came. But i pulled back and disappeared from her life. We barely called or texted each other. We became as if we were nothing. To remove adeline from my mind i even gave up my virginity to a girl who was all over me since i started school in london. News Flash: it didn't work, even when i was fucking her, all i could think about was Adeline. Everytime i fucked anyone it was because how i wanted to get over her but could never remove her from my mind. She is constant. And now i'm standing in the hospital where she is fighting for her life.

A month Later
"How's Adeline doing?" Uncle Caspher ask me on a video call, where i show him adeline lying on the bed, with machines and oxygen surrounding her. "She's not moving, nothing uncle. I don't know if she will even ever_" my voice cracks because i'm almost on the verge of crying. "Its okay Ali, she will come back. I know she will. Please take good care of her untill i come" and then he cuts the call off.
Adeline survived or i can say she is still fighting for her life. But the twist in the story is, adeline is dead to the world. Yes she is. We faked her death. Nobody except mine and adeline's family know the truth. She went into coma. The doctors said they can't tell when she will get up or if she will ever get up. So uncle Caspher made the choice and transported her to london. We are currently in my penthouse where her room is no less than a hospital room. Uncle said it was important to fake her death and remove her from alex's life. He's always been a misfortune to her and also because she had two murders on her hand, the moment she will get better, it could have been difficult for her to survive as it was already out in the media that adeline killed someone though uncle and my dad handled the situation but it would have been to much for her once she would have gotten up. If she would have found guilty Caspher's would have gone down, it's reputation its business and Uncle's struggles of years to keep the business intact.
I agreed to this idea for sole purpose and that was i wanted Alex out of her life. And now it is. I don't give a damn what hes going through he deserves it. And now Adeline is all by my side. I don't know how to keep her with me. Once she gets up but i will do it. Maybe i'll make alex bad infront of her which eventually will lead her to hate him. Or else there are plenty other options.
Uncle has made it clear that adeline will take over the unit in london once shes awake. And she will go by the name Glyndon and not Adeline. Glyndon is her middle name which she hated and never use but now she will have to use that.
I mostly spend my nights with her i mean beside her bed in hope that she will wakeup one day, she will right?.
My phone rings and i see the name flashing on the screen its mikael. My brother who's 6 years younger to me, he lives in NewYork with my parents. Though my father is planning to settle in London once and for all and i know he will in a year. He's already renovating our mansion. So soon he and my family will be here. uncle caspher is working in his unit of london as well, he wants to grow it so when adeline joins she doesn't have to do much work. I pick my phone up. "Hey" i say.
"Mommy is Dead, Ali" mikael cries. And wait a second what did he just say?
"Wait what are you saying mika"
"Mommy died Ali, she is dead, daddy found her dead in the basement, she was shot"
My phone falls from my hand and i fall to the ground as well.
Why is everyone i love dies, why the fuck everyone has to die.
I cry like a mad man. My mom, my mother, who raised me, gave me all the love that my father would have never given me is dead now, and she's fucking shot? What the hell is happening.
I look over at Adeline, i go to her side and i hold her hand, i lower my head on back of her hand and i cry and cry and cry, till i'm out of my breathe.
Who killed my mom, who had the audacity to kill Marina Khan, i will fucking find whoever did that and i'll make sure that person faces hell in this life time.
Maybe its time i become an Adult i was always supposed to.
