STACEY.

       "Um... I probably won't be coming home tonight, okay?, bye, sleep early and eat dinner too, that too should be early. " I informed as I stepped out of my car.

"Yes Mom, I will, you should also come home early, I will wait for you, "

"No, Ed, you can't, I don't know the time I will return home, besides, there's school tomorrow and you need to rest!" I insisted.

"But Mom, "

"No buts Ed, go to sleep early, " I deadpanned.

"Fine, good night, stay safe, "

"Alright, you better be sure not to lie to me, I will ask Molly if you ate or not,"

"I won't lie to you Mom, just make sure you return home, "

" good night then... bye, "

"Sleep tight, " I cut the call, and returned my phone to my purse, then i locked my car and headed to the club.

Mia had managed to convince me to go to the club, God, I was too fickle, I shook my head.

From the outside, the club was loud, I could see people by the parking lot, drunk people throwing up, couples grinding against themselves by the wall, I grimaced.

Mia promised me the club was quite decent, was that how decent club operate? I was about to shrug when my eyes caught a glimpse of a man.

This halted me in my step.

He looked so familiar, he looked like... Him.

At the thought of Him, I felt myself shivering, no it couldn't be him, I looked away from the place as quick as I could.

I bit my lip.

"He can't be here... can he?" I muttered, before i knew it, I had started shaking, my breaths got abnormal, my heart was beating so fast that it hurt to even breathe.

I held my chest, my face squeezed in pain, knowing my pills were in my bag, I calmed down a little, grateful I brought them, as I reached in my bag for them, they were no where to be found.

"No, " I whispered, breathing erratically.

"Are you alright? " a Woman's voice asked from  behind me, I shook my head, unable to say a word.

The voice sounded familiar, the woman helped me up, that was when I realized the voice was familiar for a reason, seeing the person in front of me didn't help, it only my hyperventilation worse.

I snapped my eyes shut in pain, God, why this?.

Since that day, four years ago, my life had been hell, yes, I had money, I had Ed and Mia, yet I couldn't get over my actions, every moment I wasn't working or busy, all I could see were those eyes, the pain in them.

The hatred.

I couldn't sleep alone, damn, I couldn't sleep for less than four hours, every single remembrance of that day gave me pain.

"It's you, " I heard her say which made me open my eyes,she then reached into her purse, or was it a bag? She brought out a tablet, opened it and handed a pill to me.

"Here, take it, "

I looked at her, skeptical of what she was about to make me swallow.It wasn't like I didn't trust her, I just wanted to be sure she was giving me the right pills.

"They are anxiety pill, you are not the only one who takes them, " she stated.

Hearing her words, I took it from her and swallowed it without taking water, it took me a few minutes to calm down, once I did, i was conscious of my environment once again.
