NORA'S POV
My knees almost give out but I try to stay strong and calm. Don't get affected by this betrayal.
I catch hold of the sharp edge of the knife and it draws blood. The blood drips from the knife and turns the white floor red.
I am at crossroads. I don't wanna hurt her but I can't get over that she is the one who wants me dead. She wants to kill me. She threatened Kai's life and the people I love and that fills me with so much rage.
Fuck!! Her eyes have turned into something I can't recognise. My left hand attempts to unlock the door behind me but I fail to do so. The door knob rattles but it doesn't unlock.
I can't unlock the door until I make her fly to the other side of the room.
"Just die. Just fucking die." She screams and yells and attempts to stab me but I hold her off. I am not letting go of the knife. I finally let go of the door and kick her in the knee making her wobble and step back.
"If you think, I won't fight back then you are wrong. I will fight you and thousands of you even if I am on my last breath."
I try to unlock the door and a sinister laugh makes the hair on my back stand.
"You need to die and you have to." She starts laughing.
I don't know what I am going to do. I want to defend myself but also the fact that she betrayed me makes me wants to scream and yell at her. It is hurting me that a person I thought was my closest broke my trust, tried to kill me and the ones I loved.
"I hate you so much. I wanted to torture you but it's fine if the end result is you dying."
My fingers tremble and my vision starts getting blurry.
She starts laughing. My grip around the door knob tightens.
I try to balance my stance. I can't lose consciousness right now.
"The knife is dipped in Rohypnol. You are going to lose your control over your muscles. How do you feel losing your control over yourself, huh?" I stumble on my feet and almost fall over. She grabs my hair and forces me to kneel in front of me. When I try to make her lose her grip but she slaps me.
I fall back because right now I can't control my body. I have to fight back. I have a knife tucked under my shoe sole. I need to get it and stab her.
I need to find a moment. A moment of her being vulnerable. My eyes almost close because of the intensity of the drug.
Stay awake, Nora. Please, stay awake.
"I hate you ardently. No one is going to save you and even if someone arrives through that door, they will see your dead body."
"Then kill me. Kill me and let your hatred win. I am giving you one chance."
She smirks and grabs my hair. She slaps me again.
I don't get up from the intensity of the slap.
Save your energy and then stab her.
"She already lost consciousness." I feel her leaning close to me. Just a little more closer. I can feel her breathing.
One stab and I can set myself free. One miss and I will be killed.
I have two options and I can't take the second option.
This is not my time to die. There is no time to die.
She finally leans where I wanted her to and I stab her shoulder. She stumbles back in pain. Then I stab her leg. I try to stand up but my knees give out.
Please, I need to hide. I spot my phone and take it and give all my energy in running and hiding in the bathroom. I lock the door behind me.
My fingers are trembling.
My phone is bombarded with phone calls. My knees give out and I am on the floor.
Just let me make one phone call, please. Don't give out.
My eyelids start getting heavier. No, not right now!! I groan.
I have to stay awake. I need to. I have to splash water on my face so I can stay awake.
The door bangs behind me.
"Get out of there, you bitch. It's not like you have any other way to go. So, get out of the bathroom." She continues banging on the door.
The melodic voice and the cute banging fades away.
"Why isn't she gaining consciousness? It's been fucking four hours. You said it's nothing serious so why isn't she gaining consciousness?"
Alright, what's going on? Who is snapping on whom? Am I dead? Wait! Did I go to heaven or hell? Do they fucking exist?
Why is everything so bright? Oh, so I am alive?
So, the person who is busy snapping at someone is my man and the other is the doctor. So, I am at the hospital.
But why? Oh, shit!! I got betrayed by my closest person. Ouch!
Why is it so bright?
"Oh Shit!" Kai's neck snaps towards me and he rushes towards me. His eyes soften but he looks so worried and tired.
"Nora!! How are you feeling?"
The doctor checks me up and leaves us.
"Shitty!! Emotional!! And fucking terrible. Can I cry?" He strokes my cheeks gently.
"Yes, you can, baby." He takes a seat next to me and continues stroking my cheek.
Tears start pouring and the moments where I felt betrayed came like a black cloud haunting a clear sky.
"She betrayed me. She hated me so much that she wanted to kill me. She wanted to harm the ones I loved."
I don't know about how long I sobbed or yelled or cursed her. He just nodded with me cursing at her, comforting me when I sobbed.
He didn't utter one word and I think he is shocked by the incident. I mean, I am too.
Ira and Eli crashes through the door. Kai excuses himself and walks out of the door leaving me all confused.
"Hey!" Ira's eyes are red and I know she must have cried a lot.
"I am fine, babe." She just gives me a sad smile excuses herself.
"What's wrong with them?" I point a finger at the Dalton siblings.
"They just have problem with expressing their feelings."
I mean that's true.
I chuckle. Whoops!! My whole body hurts.
"But, seriously, buddy, Thank God, you are alive. Who would hear my nonsense and nag me to go slow while riding." I roll my eyes.
"I am going to nag you for life. Go slow." He shrugs.
"No fun in that. You ride to feel the wind." I roll my eyes at his comment.
"One day, you are going to ride slow because you know someone is waiting at home and secretly wishing for your safety." He just chuckles.
"Nope!! But, Kai seems really shaken up. He didn't leave your room for a second. He seemed so calm. Not that calm where you feel peace. He was scary calm, I was fearing for everyone's life today at the hospital. He was about to pounce at the doctor if you hadn't woken up."
My eyes widen. OMG, this must have have been so stressful. His finals are in a week. He should be concentrating on that instead of pouncing on the doctor.
This sucks.
"It's really not your fault so don't blame yourself. Nobody, I repeat, nobody would have guessed this shit. So, don't blame yourself."
I nod.
"Thanks, Eli. Please take care of him."
He nods.
"Rest well, Nora."
