Darkened Angel- Chapter 2

Chapter Two

    “Urgh!” I said as I sat up on the couch. My head felt like a jack hammer was pounding at my temples. I drew my legs up with a hand on my forehead. I leaned more to the back of the couch as I tried to make the throbbing in my head go away. But I knew it was doubtful that would happen.

    I swallowed and found my throat completely dry. I glance to the coffee table and found a small bowl with two pills in it on top of a small note and a glass of water next to it. I picked up the pills and put them in my mouth while I picked up the glass of water. Quickly I downed the pills with about half the glass of water.

    I sighed as I looked at the note on the table. I know Mark has millions of questions for me, but did I want to hear any of them? Not right now. Maybe even never. He doesn’t deserve to know any of my answers. He was supposed to be mine. All mine, but he has been with other girls for god knows how long.

    Unfortunately I gave in and grabbed the note opening it up.

    Hey babe,

        Sorry I couldn’t be there when you woke and ask you what happened. I hope you’re feeling better this morning.

    As I was advised, I left you some Aleve to take as you may have a headache when you woke. Also I was asked to tell you to call one of those two men that brought you home last night to call him at the salon. He said you would know what that meant.

    I think we need to sit down and talk tonight. I’m just so worried about you hun.

                            Love you,

                            Your Mark

    I balled up the note and threw it to the floor. My Mark. Right! Like I’m going to continue to believe that. He has been living a lie too long. Now I see who he really is. The fraud. The cheater. The destroyer of my heart.

    Picking up the phone to call Keith, I noticed the message light blinking. Hitting the play back button, I sat and listened. “Hello Miss. Patience Amstar. This is Doctor Whitberg. Recently you donated blood for scientific research and I received a sample of your blood and wish to see if you could participate in a study we are doing. Its nothing too invasive. Just ten small injections and a day to see the effects it has on you. Please give me a call as soon as possible.” He gave a number at the end and I didn’t bother to write it down.

    I pushed the button to listen to the next message. “Hey honey. I guess you’re not up yet or not answering the phone. Please call me so I know you’re alright. You have got me very worried here. Please please please call me.” Mark’s voice sounded desperate, but was it real? I decided that I wouldn’t call him and make him suffer for a bit. I was suffering, why not him too.

    I smiled a bit as I dialed Keith’s salon. “Angelic Styling. How may I help you?”

    I winced at my headache. “Hi. This is Patience Amstar. May I speak to Keith?”

    “Hold on. I’ll get him as he just finished with his client.”

    I waited a few minutes before I heard the most delightful sound in my life. “Hey girl!” I laughed at how he wanted to hear from me. Then my laughs changed and I started to cry. “Oh no! Don’t cry. Oh please don’t cry or you will set me off.”

    “I’m sorry. Its just that...its nice to hear someone other than Mark happy to hear from me. So good to have a friend again.”

    “Oh girl. Thats it. I coming over there in about an hour...”
