Forbidden Love [COMPLETED]

Chapter 26

Trigger warning. Read with caution.

Accidents happen every day. You never know when danger and death is going to come at you.

But we have so many plans, so many things to do before we die. And our worst habit is put off chances. Put off living. Put off adventures. Put off even feelings.

What if you run out of time?

Becky and Irin walk out of their patient's room.

“I have a weird feeling.” Becky says, placing a hand on her chest.

“You’re twenty-three, you’re not gonna have a heart attack.” Irin simply says.

“No it’s not that, but...I don’t know what it is." Becky sighs.

“Excuse me, could you tell me where I can find the chief of neuro?” A man asks approaching them.

Becky is the first one to turn around and look at him, but she doesn’t think she has ever seen the man. “Um, I wouldn’t know. You should try the second floor. She should be there for rounds now.”

“Thank you.”

Becky glances at the man once more, feeling the grip in her chest tighten even more. She places a hand on her heart again and takes a slow and deep breath.

“Bec, are you sure you’re okay? Do you want to do an eco just in case?” Irin asks.

“No, um, no. I’m fine. It’s..maybe it’s just muscles cramps.”

She takes a deep breath and tries to shake off any bad thoughts and the clenching pain in her chest.

***********************************

The man keeps walking through the hallways, looking quite disoriented and glancing at every doctor and every nurse around him. He tries to approach one of them.

“I’m sorry, do you know-“

But the nurse doesn’t hear him and keeps walking, rushing to do her job. So he tries again, approaching a young nurse in the storage.

“Miss, excuse me, do you know where...”

“I’m sorry Sir, you can’t be here.” She says without looking at him, still searching for refills of bandages and meds.

“I was just wondering where I could find Dr. Chankimha? Or maybe where her office is?”

“Sir, I can’t help you with that right now. You should ask at the desk.”

The man starts growing impatient. “I did ask! No one is able to give me an answer!”

“Sir, I have a patient with seizures to get to, I told you, you should-"

Before the girl can say something more, the man points a gun at her and shoots her. She instantly falls down, a pool of blood forming all over the floor.

Billy is walking past the same hallway, and frowns in confusion when he thinks he might have heard a gunshot. That couldn’t be possibile, but he walks towards the noise either way and finds a man standing in the storage, while on the floor there’s Anna. Billy's eyes widen in shock.

“Sir? What the-“

The man turns around quickly and shoots at him without hesitation. Billy falls on the floor, groaning in excruciating pain and panting heavily, while the man just walks over him and leaves.

He brings his trembling hand to his stomach, eyeing the blood that was coming out of his wound. He whines in pain, but tries to drag himself to the nearest elevator, while the blood keeps pouring out, leaving a long trail on the floor.
