I LOST HIM🥀

Chapter- Twelve

I woke up feeling afraid that morning. It felt like some has blindfolded me and have their hands around my throat and like they're trying to choke me. I was afraid. Extremely afraid. But there was no logical reason to it. Really.

I tried shaking off the feeling, I tried not to think about it but it kept nagging me.

I went to my window to get some fresh air thinking it might help.

Yet the agitation remained, unchanged and lingering.

I thought maybe it was just a morning nausea or something.

Little did I know how wrong I was!!

Little did I know what the day had in store for me.

If I would've known where I would end up that day, I wouldn't have woke up that day. I would have just slept in the safety of my blanket.

How I wish!!

"You're finally up!! I hope you have told Blake to join us for dinner tonight!!" My mother reminded me the moment I stepped in the kitchen.

"Eh... actually no." I said.

"What!!! Ray, go to his house right now and invite him for dinner." My mom said dramatically.

"Or I could just text him." I reasoned.

"No. I said go to his house and personally invite him." Mum said in a tone that means there's room for discussion.

"Yeah. Fine. Can I at least have my breakfast!?" I said in an annoyed tone.

It's not like I don't want to invite Blake for dinner. It's just that I know my mom and she has a tendency of over exaggerating very situation.

She's a little over dramatic.

And she thinks Blake is my boyfriend (thanks to Alexa). So tonight will surely be full of me getting embarrassed.

<><><><><><><><><><>

Remember that feeling I was talking about in the morning? I just can't shake it off and now that I'm driving to Blake's I can't stop thinking about it either.

It's like my conscious is telling me not to drive.

Like it telling me to go back home.

It's almost like my conscious can sense that something is going to happen.

Something wrong.

Something Disastrous.

I got the same feeling that day when I lost my father and Jenna.

But i know nothing will happen to me now.
Everything is fine. Everything seems Normal.

I looked around, through the windows of my car.

People leaving for work, children going to school. People walking.

Yup!! All normal.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Then why? Why can't I shake this feeling.

My thoughts were cut short by my phone ringing pulling me out those uncertain memories.

"Hey Alexa!!" I said.

"Holaa Ray!! I called to ask if I can join y'all for that dinner tonight?" I can picture Alexa smirking.

"That reminds me!! What the hell were you thinking!!?? You know mom will never leave me for this one!! Blake isn't even my boyfriend." I said.

"Yet!! He isn't your boyfriend yet!!" She said.

"Eh.. whatever!! You can join us." I said.

"Cool! Bye." Alexa said.

There's no way I'll leave her that easily for what she did.

So I texted Duke and invited him too.

If I'm going down, I'll take her with me too.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't see the truck coming towards me. I pushed the brakes hard but alas! It was too late and then everything went dark.

Blake's POV

I'm calling Ray from past 1 hour but she isn't answering any of her calls.

I don't know why but I've this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach like she's hurt or something.

I know it sounds sappy but I can't help it.

From past couple of weeks, we have grown really close. It feels like she was always there in my life.

When I kissed her for the first time, it felt so unreal, it was so magical.

I don't want to sound like a hopeless romantic here, but it is what it is.

I called Ray again but this time too she didn't picked up.

So I called Alexa. I'm sure she knows why Ray isn't answering her calls.

Alexa picked her call in the second ring.

"Hey Alexa, this is Blake. I...um..I wanted to know if Ray is with you. She isn't picking any of her calls and I'm kinda worried." I said in one go.

Alexa started sobbing hard.

"Alexa!! Is everything alright!?" I said worried.

"Blake...Ray...she... accident." She said still crying.

"Alexa, calm down..take deep breaths. Tell me what's wrong." I said trying to calm her down.

"Ray was in an accident. She...she has lost a lot of blood and is in ICU right now. I'm afraid Blake." She started crying again.

It felt like someone stepped on my heart.

"Mom I'm going to the hospital. Ray got into an accident." I said and ran off without waiting for her response.

*Drum roll* yeah I updated!!
Hope y'all like it.
Much love ❤️
