Ran

12. Alone

Cara's POV

I woke up in a room. The room was lit up by the candle at the left far corner. I looked around the room, there were posters, pictures and I was sitting on some kind of bed.

*EEK*

I looked towards the source of the sound and saw a light of an opening. Its a door .

"Hey, Hansen you awake yet? We got stuff to settle" The voice said.

I did not reply.

"Dammit, Gene, she's not awake yet!" The same voice shouted. Oh, Gene.

That was when I remembered, I was supposed to be in Singapore Filming a movie and now I'm here thanks to my dearest ex-bestfriend and her right hand man, Gus.

"Well, how about you go in and wake her up." A female voice said. It must be Gene.

A click of a switch was heard, I lay back down on the bed. The lights were on and someone was behind me. Suddenly I felt hands shaking me.

"Hey, Cara wake up. Wake up!"

I pretended to jerk up from my sleep. Luckily Im an actress. Pretended to look around, shocked. I stared at Gus for a minute and looked behind him, as expected Gene was at the doorway smiling away like nothing happened.

"Hey sweetie, time to wash up." She said with a smile and nodded at Gus. I was still staring at her, glaring to be exact. That was when, Gus slip his hand behind my head and tied a scarf around my face and carried me on his shoulder.

A sharp turn to the right.

And then, I was thrown on the floor.

"Oww." I said.

"Sorry, but you deserved it." Gus said as he removed my scarf.

I looked around the bathroom, it was huge. The bathtub, basin and toilet bowl was all pure white. The walls were black and grey. It was a pretty colour combination.

"Where are we? Are we still in Singapore?" I asked.

Gus did not say anything, he stood up and left the bathroom.

I heard noises outside, children's laughter and stuff. That was when I heard someone saying.

"Eh, chi dao le kuai zhou bah. yi jing chi yi ge zhong tou le lah."

Oh, we are still in Singapore. Unless we were in other countries which speaks Chinese but most likely not.

Suddenly cold water was splashed all over me. My heard jerked to the direction where the water came from. Gene stood there with a bucket in her hand. Damn that women. Water was dripping down my face when Gus appeared with a fan. Oh no. He on the fan to full speed and in no time I was shivering.

"Do you remember what you did to Gus now?" Gene said while wrapping a scarf around herself.

I shook my head.

"Well let me tell you after this." She said and bent down to get a bucket of water which has ice in it.

She threw the water towards me, I tired avoiding the ice but it obviously did not work. There was one ice which was sharp and it landed on my thigh, cutting it. Gene saw the cut and laughed.

"Okay, now I will tell you. You treated him way worser then Danny. Gus here was one of us when we were young, one of the cool kids. He was one of the best guys you will ever meet, he was the Captain of the football team, class rep and he was hot. Many girls liked him. He was right at everything until you came along. He liked you, confessed to you, you rejected him, made his life difficult. You did not just stop there, you spread rumors about him, Bullied him in every and any way. Verbally and Physically. Until he changed schools but lucky for him, he found us. The people who hates you."

I was already falling asleep when she stopped talking.

"That..t wa..s so..o l..ong ago." I said while shivering.

"It ruined his life you crazy women."

"Y..ou are t..the on...e w..ho is cra...crazy."

A slap hit my face and then Gus wrapped the same scarf around my face and carried me back to the room. He carried me with both arms now. When we reached the room, he untied my scarf and walked me to bed.

"Can you forgive me? I did not know I was so bad to you last time. I lost my memory 10 years ago and some haven't even came back yet."

Gus nodded at first but then shook his head. "Sorry, I didn't want to hurt you and I can't let you escape like that."

I nodded. He left the room leaving me sitting on the bed thinking of how to escape this place with out the use of phones or anything. That was when I felt really alone.
