A Project with the Bad Boy

Chapter Seven

"Ooph!" A sound I made when I landed.

Why didn't it hurt?

While standing up, I realized that I didn't land on the ground.

But instead landed on Colton.

And now we're on a position where I was straddling him.

When our eyes met, the both of us got trapped in a trance as our eyes held captive.

Colton looked so breathtakingly handsome, I couldn't deny. As if there was something in his eyes hidden, and is trying to be seen, like his eyes are full of darkness that hides happiness from deep within.

Well, okay, this is way to ruin the moment, but what I said rhymed.

A smirk crept on his face, "I might melt sooner or later princess."

"Conceited jerk," I muttered.

"I know I'm sexy."

"Yeah, right."

"Who's that?" A strong voice called from afar. Must be one of the guards.

"What do we do?" I whispered.

"Run," Colton grabbed my wrist and dragged me away from where the guard is going.

Colton runs really fast because of his marvelously long legs and it's a good thing that I could catch up since I'm pretty much a good runner myself.

We ran to his car and got inside quickly.

"Are you afraid of driving past speed limit?" He asked.

Why? Are you concerned? "Nope."

"Well that's what I'm going to do right now," he said and accelerated his Ferrari to the fullest speed.

That's more I like it.

"Do you always do this?"

"At night," he replied. "What hospital exactly?"

"Saint Jude's," I stated.

"Aye, aye, Captain," he smiled. A genuine one. That's a first.

"Wait."

"What?"

"Weren't you supposed to be fighting?"

"I cancelled my fight."

"But why?"

"I don't know."

And then we were quiet for the rest of the trip.

Colton started to drive slower, which means we're already at our destination.

Just after he turned the engine off, I hastily got out of the car and ran to the reception area without waiting for Colton.

"How can I help you?" A young woman from the reception approached me.

"May I know if there's a patient named Czania Cassandra Standford?" I asked.

"And also if there's a Wayne Lyndon Evans?" A familiar husky voice butted in. Of course, it's no other than Colton.

The young lady ignored me and instead answered Colton's question, "yes, sir. He's currently having an on-going operation."

The receptionist's eyes were full of lust written all over. This bitch.

Does she even know who I am?

"Do you-"

"How about Miss Stanford?" Colton cut me off.

"Yes, she's having an operation as well," the flirty young receptionist said.

"Let's go," Colton grabbed me again. Why does he always do that?

"That bitch," I muttered.

"Jealous?" Colton teased.

"No," I rolled my eyes at him.

"A-a-acacia," A familiar girly voice called out.

"Sav?" I called back. "How is she?"

Sav's eyes are swollen, it's seems like she have been crying hard. That made me tear up too.

"S-s-she's..."

"She's what, Savannah?!" I'm now shaking her shoulders, tears running all over my face.

Savannah just kept on sobbing, and never said a word again.

I saw a crying Angel approaching us, both hands covering her face with her mom comforting her.

I quickly ran over her, "Angel, where's Cass?"

"Acacia, she's gone!" Angel bursted out crying and hugged me tight. "The doctor told me she's gone!"

And I did too.

Gone, huh? So that's how you'll leave us, Cassandra? I could barely move, my whole body, petrified, my face, wasted, my feelings, broken. Cassandra was very special to me and I don't know what would happen without her. Everything would be different without her. Everything.

I can't believe this. She's only gone to a date with her boyfriend, why did she have to die?

I couldn't handle to say words no more. And now I'm on the floor, kneeling and sobbing a lot.

Colton was standing in the corner, also looking sad. I'm sure he's thinking of Lyndon.

The doctor again approached us, "I'm sorry but-"

"I'm sorry what?!" Colton suddenly yelled and grabbed the hem of the doctor's uniform. "They're gone! Your sorry won't bring them back! You don't have to rub it in our face."

He sat on the corner, both hands in his head.

The doctor got to scared to say a word and backed out immediately.

Two deaths in a row.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Angel and Sav are crying as well, hugging eachother. Angel's mom, too.

"Princess," Colton sat beside me.

"Mm.."

Without a word, he pulled me into a hug.

And again, I felt safe in his arms.

***

I had to kill Cass off for some personal reason.

Lmao.

I use my phone to update btw.
