BLS #1 : Red String of Fate

Chapter 18 - Break Down (Edited)

Aaron Samuel

The great Dean Samuel just passed away.

The person who built Samuel Corp, a small company that became one of the biggest company in the world is now passed away. A great person who always took care of his children and grandchildren.

I couldn't believe he died.

The operation was a success but as he recovered his body became weak. He talked to us for a while and then the heart monitor showed a straight line. We all were shocked, the doctor quickly tried to bring him back but God wanted him to go back to where he belongs.

My grandma cried so hard, she wasn't ready for him to leave her in this world.

My heart broke, he was a person that was always be by your side, a grandpa that always had weird joke, a grandpa that loved to spoil his grandchildren. I miss him.

I broke down at the corner of the room, seeing him with no pulse. Everything was happening in slow motion for us.

It's been 4 hours since he died, we all still couldn't come to terms with what happened. Everyone was crying, breaking down and comforting each other.

I walked out from the room and saw Jessica Mallow, her family was quite close to ours. Her grandfather was Dean's best friend so our families were pretty close, they were extended family.

She came and hugged me.

I hugged her back because I needed this. Even though her hug was not as comforting as Sophia's. Where is she? She said that she would comeback. Suddenly Jessica held my hand and lead me to the lift.

"Let's get some fresh air for awhile" she said and I responded with a nad. She pulled me to the hospital's garden at the back. I breathe deeply and Jessica suddenly pulled me into a hug again.

I sneaked my arms to her and hugged her back, she put her lips to mine and kissing me slowly. I kissed her back and suddenly it gets heated and we started kissing hard.

She runs her hands through my hair, but my mind suddenly remembered the girl who comforted me a few hours earlier. She just silently hugged me and gave me a small kiss. Why was it more comforting than this girl who was kissing me hard.

Jessica... was just plain.

She cupped my face and kissed me deeply but my heart suddenly felt that it wasn't right. She's not Sophia, I don't feel excited. The sensation was not there and I needed the person who could give me that.

Where is she?

I pushed Jessica and left her there.

"Aaron!"

"Get lost bitch" I said coldly.

"Aaron" She called me again but I ignored her. I walked inside the hospital again.

Why did I kissed her? I looked at the time, it was 9:12pm and Sophia was not here yet.

Did something happen to her?

"Aaron, we have to take care everything" Blake called me. I went to him and took care a few of documents about my grandpa.

"Aaron" suddenly someone called me. I saw my friends come and I couldn't help but smile even if it was a small smile at least someone who knows me well was here.

"Hey" Sebastian hugged me briefly.

"Sorry for the loss man" Ken patted me and the others hugged me briefly.

"Blake when will we buried him?" I asked as he passed by with his wife Jean.

"Tomorrow, grandma said that it's his word" I nodded as he answered.

We all go up to my grandpa's room to find my grandma still crying so hard. I walked to her and hugged her tight.

"He's not gone yet" she cried. I controlled my emotions to stay calm, if I cried again in front of her she would cry more.

The next day, we buried him. We all still couldn't handle this. We all went to his house and just sat there, missing every single piece of him, the memories of us talking still fresh in my mind.

I tried to call Sophia when I had time but she couldn't be reached. I was pissed, where is she? Sad and anger became one, I snapped at everyone in the office.

What is wrong with me?
