It's Sad to Belong || She is Broken

" We were happy," she said, and her eyes downcast and brimming, reminded him of how the sky was before the first splash of rain. "We were happy and they punished us for it." - Lang Leav

Cause' we need to feel more pain. And I blame Lang Leav.

Because we need to suffer more. ✌🏻

Chapter Sixteen

Yassi is on her way home from work when her phone suddenly rings. She checks to see who it is and it's a number she's not familiar with.

"Hello?" she answers.

"Hi, good afternoon. Is this Yassi?

"Yes, who am I speaking with?"

"My name is Luis. I work with Nadine Lustre and your name is the only name in the emergency contact list."

"Yes, Nadine's my cousin. What happened? Is everything okay with Nadine?" she asks nervously.

"Well, that's the thing. We don't know. She hasn't showed up at the office for 2 straight days now; no phone call, no nothing. It's not like her to just not show up. All of us here in the office are worried about her," he explains.

"Don't worry. I'm going to head to her house right now and check up on her. Thank you for calling me," she says, feeling like her heart is pounding a million miles an hour.

"Please let us know how she is. Do you know the number at the office?"

"Yes, I do. Again, thank you so much."

She immediately heads to Nadine's house. She is scared to death of what possibly could have happened to her cousin.

The last time she has seen her she was happy, but even then she knew that her happiness was short-lived.

As much as she loves Nadine, she has always been open and honest with her about her objection to her affair with James.

She has never gotten a speeding ticket in her life, but today might be the first as she drives her car faster than she has ever driven before.

She arrives at Nadine's house and sees her car parked in the driveway.

She rings the bell, but no answer.

She searches for the spare key but it is no longer there.

She goes around the house, trying to find an open window so she can take a peek inside, but no luck, every single window and door is securely shut.

So she decides to smash the window with a rock and forces her way in.

She gets inside the house and scans the place for any sign of Nadine.

The house is clean as usual, nothing is disturbed or out of place. She makes her way to the kitchen and living room, and she is not there.

By now, her heart is jumping out of her chest.

She quickly climbs upstairs to Nadine's bedroom, holding her breath as she gets closer and closer to the door; scared to death on what she will find.

She opens the door and is immediately greeted by the amount of mess in the room.

The floor is covered in shattered glass; lamp shades are knocked off and curtains have been pulled out and ripped.

Then she scans the bed and finds Nadine passed out with several empty bottles of beers and vodka.
