THE TIES THAT BIND-Book 3 In The Sexy As Series

Chapter 32

Her eyes went wild as she looked around the room as to why Marian was bleeding.  It was then that she saw the shattered glass on the floor next to the bed.  She let her eyes drift around the room more and saw huge pools of blood seemingly everywhere.

"What happened? Why are you bleeding?" She asked in a panic.  "Let me call an ambulance." 

"No, just close the door and walk away. Let me finish this, I want to see my William again," Marian said holding up a jumper she had just recently got him and then held it to her chest.

Kaia slowly walked into the room.  She needed to get closer to Marian to try to talk some sense into her.  She was trying to remain calm, but she knew she wasn't doing a very good job of it.  "Marian, please don't do this.  I need you.  William is gone and I am so so sorry for that, but it doesn't mean your life is over. You have so much to live for," she said pleading with her.  She glanced around looking for something to stop the bleeding that was coming from both of Marian's wrists. 

Marian looked around at all the photos she had on the bed. Half of them ripped to pieces.  "Do you see this picture? That face, both of their faces. He was so happy that William fit into the Doncaster rovers onsie. Now it's all gone. William and Louis! They both left me here alone to die, so I'm just going to speed up the process," she said.  "Nobody will have to worry about me or ever take care of me again.  I won't be a burden to anyone." Marian insisted.

"No!" Kaia all but yelled. " I need you, Zayn needs you, Destiny and Ahmir need you. Hell, even Harry needs you."

The mention of Harry's name enraged Marian. She picked up the torn, bloody pictures and threw them at Kaia.  "I don't want Harry!" She screamed.  " How many times do I have to tell you this. You never listen to me!" She said and picked up another shard of glass and began to trail it along her already bleeding wrists. Digging it deeper.  "The man I loved with every single cell in my body left me!  Our son died and he couldn't stand to be with me anymore. I wasn't able to keep our baby safe.  He got sick and died and now I have nothing left to live for. I have cervical cancer which means I can never have another baby! I am dying and you bring up the fact that Harry needs me. Well I need this," she hissed.  She drove the piece of glass into her arms, dragging it down her flesh causing the flow of blood to go from a trickle to a steady flow.

Kaia couldn't stop her tears and rushed to her side trying to pull the glass away.  "Marian please, I swear to never mention Harry again if you ....jus....just put down that piece of glass!" She begged.  "Please you are my best friend and I would be lost without you. I can't do anything without your help!"

Marian tossed the piece of glass at the wall, smiling as it hit the wall. She watched the blood run down her arm and she started to make little hearts using her fingers in the blood.  "Kaia you have everything you've ever wanted and dreamed about in life.  A loving husband and two wonderful amazing children.  Another man that loves you with every ounce of his being as well as a new career as a singer. I have nothing and no one. No one will care if I am gone!" 

Kaia was at her wits end and didn't know how to reach her bestie.  She was struck with a terrible,  horrible idea, but she wondered if she didn't have any other choice. She knew it would work, she just prayed she had the strength to go through with it.  She rushed back to where Ahmir was in his playpen.   She picked him up and kissed his head. "Mummy loves you very much," she said holding him close to her.  "I love you so much my little farishta."  She hurried back to Marian's room and stood in the doorway as her son seemed to squirm even more in her arms when he saw his auntie.  "Marian, Ahmir loves you very much," she said and saw Marian going for another piece of glass.  "If you give me the broken glass and promise not to hurt yourself anymore, I'll let Ahmir come to you.  Please Marian!" She begged her.
