UBS #1: NIGHT CHANGES (DISCONTINUED)

08 - Behind The Pain

ELLENA SCARLET

I almost dropped my cup.

I didn't move. He didn't move.

But I gathered my courage and asked. "What are you talking about? Twins? Do we even have one?" I laughed like it's the funniest thing in the world when inside, it hurts knowing my secret is out.

"Really?" He takes something from the file and throws it in front of me.

Some picture of me that was taken when I was still pregnant. I took it and flipped each pictures.

I was shaking, it's like I'm the earthquake itself. My eyes were wide and my hands are getting sweaty each seconds passed. I don't know what to do!

"How did you get these?" Tears was streaming down. I can't broke down in front of him. Make it stop! I kept convincing myself to not cry but, it just hurts to see myself with a bump.

He sat in front of me and held my hands. "Why didn't you tell me?" His voice softened.

"I was scared that you won't believe me. And the fact that you are a player didn't help the situation." He pulled me into a bear hug.

"I'll be honest with you. If you did tell me, I would have rejected you but, I'll still help you financially."

He lifted my chin and wiped my tears. "Please. Tell me everything. From the very start." He plead. I took a deep breath.

-FLASHBACK-

Trisha, Emily and I were walking through the crowd after we left the hospital. A roar was heard from afar.

A monster truck came running towards us.

Everyone went for the run, so are we. When a little girl about 2-3 years old was left alone in the road, crying. No one bothered to carry her and put her safety in their hands. The thought of the girl being crushed underneath the truck makes me sick.

I pulled my hand out of Emily's grasp and ran towards the girl. Trisha and Emily kept calling my name but, I didn't care. This girl needs help.

Though, when I got a hold of the girl, the truck was about to hit us when I pushed the girl away. I was unable to react fast as I was thrown away to a pole. Trisha and Emily came in my view and shouted to call help. I was consumed by the darkness.

-2 WEEKS LATER-

"I'm sincerely sorry for your loss, Ms. Scarlet." Dr. Alves and some nurses visited my twins' burial, that was held yesterday.
