Written Fate.

Chapter 13

Grief: Deep mental anguish, as that arising from bereavement, or an instance of this.

I felt like I was ambuscaded with guilt. There must have been something that I could have done to avoid this.

I felt like I had control of the whole situation but I failed miserably therefore I found myself guilty.
Guilty of doing nothing, guilty of being clueless.

My tears were fighting to fall out as I just sat there with my mind all over the place.

"Danielle was pregnant but the baby didn't make it. She is not herself right now and as for Ryan. He blames himself for not being able to protect both Daniella and their baby," he paused taking a sit next to my shocked body.

"I can't..." my ears refused to take in more information as my mind was still stuck on the part were he said "the baby didn't make it". My heart broke for her.

She was looking forward to surprising Ryan with the news and now he had to find out that she was pregnant through the baby's loss.

I felt a hand gently rub my back gently. We became lost in each others eyes for a couple of seconds until Alex broke it off by swiftly leaving the room.

What an awkward moment it was.

I kept asking myself what happened four days ago.
All I remember was standing outside with Alex... then an unbearable pain in my stomach.

Something told me to go and check on Danielle.
It's still surprising how you can see someone shift from being okay to not being okay in just seconds.

I walked out of the room with the hope of seeing a strong Danielle. My Vision kept on being invaded with strawberries served in a glass bowl.

I knocked twice on Danielle's door before I stepped inside.

"Allyson! I lost... My... Ryan is... I can't..." Words hardly came out of her trembling mouth.
Her face was a mess due to crying.
She opened her arms inviting me for a hug and I obliged.
I wanted to tell her that it was going to be okay and she was going to overcome this but that sounded too insensitive.

I hugged her gently patting her back hoping she would overcome this.
"You are fierce so try to stay fierce."

"I can't... I just can't. Ryan is angry but he won't say it. I should... I should have told him. I just should have and he wouldn't have been like this. It's all my fault. My baby! Why couldn't it have been me?" She said breaking down.

I looked at her in disbelief and shook my head. Déjà vu came like a roaring inferno. That was exactly what she said in my dream.
My dreams...

"No... No don't even say that. Yes it is sad and a lot to take in but it's not your fault. It's not..."  I said trying my best to calm her down and I was speaking nothing but the truth.
None of this is in any way was her fault and she certainly didn't deserve any of it.
Who deserves loss?

Alex walked in with Ryan and Don.
With an unreadable expression, Alex took Danielle's hand and looked down.
Only bad news could follow after his expression.

" I'm sorry Danielle but you were poisoned,"

"Wh...poisoned?" Danielle said in disbelief.
"How? That day I..." She paused.

"Think Elle. It must have been the blood." Ryan said pacing back an forth.

"No, I only ate strawberries that day,"

"That must've been it. Now I have to know who did all this!"Alex said before swiftly walking out of the room.
It was impossible to catch up to him or even see the direction he took but something told me I was going to find him in the kitchen.
How I knew that? I do not know.

When I walked in I found him standing by the kitchen counter.

I could sense his anger with reigned in the whole house.

"Sarah said Lisa was here... She said Lisa offered to take Danielle's bowl of strawberries herself and that was so unlike her. As much as I hate to say it, Lisa must have been the one who poisoned her. How could I be so ignorant? We all know she threatened to ruin Danielle,"

I took a few steps towards him and just looked at him trying to find the right words to say.

"It's my fault Alex. I..." Alex cut me off  before I could say what I had to say.

"No! It's no your fault. This 'self-blame' thing has to stop. Everyone is blaming themselves whilst the person responsible is walking out there like she didn't to anything wrong!" He said full of venom.

I waited for him to calm down a little before I could tell him.
I have been keeping this to myself and I knew that the timing was not right but I believed that it had to be said before anything else comes forward.

"She... My mother told me to help her Alex. I thought it was nothing but it seems to be something," I said suddenly finding interest in the marbled floors and everything either than his eyes. I could not face him.

"Your mother?" He said flabbergasted.

"As flimsy as it sounds, ever since I came here I've been experiencing some things. No! Ever since... I don't know but they just got stronger since I moved in here... Since I fainted for the first time,"
Alex just looked at me waiting for me to continue.

"I have been seeing my mother in my dreams Alex and she talks to me and I also see things. At first I thought it was nothing but I keep experiencing  déjà vu. What happened to Danielle a few days ago in reality is what happened to her in my dream. The same dream that my mother told me help Danielle. Ever since I met Danielle I would feel a kick through her stomach so after that dream I asked her if she was pregnant which she later confirmed to be true.
It can't be a coincidence.
My mother told me that Danielle was coming to talk me and she did confirm being pregnant after that,"

Alex looked at me with shock for a fleeting moment.

"You saw and spoke to your mom?" He finally said and I nodded my head as he ran his hand through his perfect hair.

"Well aren't you something..."
