Falling Bad

8- Chaos

The doctor came out a few hours later and said she'll be fine in two weeks of stay. I was really worried when she said she never had any family, she'll have to stay alone without anyone's help if there's no family. I promised her I'll come back tomorrow and try to manage and stay with her.

Sam, on the other hand, didn't turn up. So, I went out alone to find a cab. It was past midnight. Fortunately, the hospital staff provided me with charging facilities and with my now working phone I tried to look for a cab while I walk out.

I was near the door when a man in a black suit approached me. "Excuse me miss, Mr. Sam sent me for you." I looked at him in a shocked expression. "This is you right?" He showed me a picture of myself sitting in the hospital waiting room, and another at the café. What the.... how the hell did he...

Stalker much!

I was angry but now that I can't find a cab I decided to use Sam's designated driver and got on to the SUV. For him to take me home I gave the directions. He quietly listened.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Then, being the dumb stupid woman I am, I did the impossible.

I fell asleep.

You shitty woman, how the hell did you trust him. How can you possibly fall asleep? He might be taking you to your grave for all that matters. You stupid stupid girl.....

That's what the voice in my head said the next morning when I woke up wrapped in white sheets on a lux bed. I was dead asleep that it took me a few minutes to process everything. I was dumbfounded when everything around me shined and sparkled as they've never seen dust. Literally.

"Good heavens! Where am I?"

I was still wearing what I had last night. phew! I got out of the bed slowly and saw a girl with messy hair and makeup smudged all over her face in the life-size mirror.

"Shit!" My eyes widened in horror. If anyone sees me now, they'll be scared to death.

I quickly ran off to the bathroom and took off my makeup. I looked around to see how great the bathroom was. I've only seen 0.1 of this place, this could be my prison for all eternity or this could be hell and yet here I am appreciating every bit of the luxury. You see, I'm not so realistic and "intelligent" as I put up for the show.

The bathroom was all black and white. Just like I had dreamed for my home, If I could build, one day. Till then, I thought they exist in magazines only. I stripped off my clothes and took a hot bath. Again being dumb I forgot I need clothes to change. But as  I felt my nerves relax from all the stress last night, I took time to finish my bath. I wrapped one towel around my body and another on my head and went out in search of extra clothes. I found a brown bag on the table with grey sweatpants and a white t-shirt. I was putting them on when I heard a knock at the door, and the lock clicked making the door open. My heart was thumping at the rate of I don't know the number, I was shivering in vain to see an old woman coming in with a big smile.

"Oh! It fits you well, I was worried about getting clothes just by a picture."

"Picture?" Noooo..... did he? What the? I was incensed in anger. "Am I in Sam's place?"

"Yes. Mr. Sam showed me a picture but I might've come in earlier just to make sure of your...."

"Okay... TMI." I interrupted her loudly because I was becoming shy. "Thank you. If you could please tell me where I can find your Mr.Sam, I'd like to thank him." I said through my teeth, gritting in anger.

She smiled and nodded to show me out.

"Wait." I quickly put my old clothes in the bag and walked out.
