Complicated Love

(2) Misfortune

Skye Pov.

Until after 2 years everything changed and came crushing down.

"Sky, there's a call for you. It's doctor Jacob." Mary on see of the nurse said, giving me the phone." Jacob?"

"Vanessa's bronchitis is acting up again. There is no need for her to be hospitalized, but she needs to rest." He said "But unfortunately, I need to attend a conference in Paris."he finished

There was a short pause, then said "Since I won't be around, could you please look after her?" He ask me

Just when he was going to say any further I interrupted him "Sure I understand, I'll look over Vanessa." I said, then he ended the call.

After I ended my shift. I immediately went to Vanessa. But what I was there was shocking. Vanessa sitting out in her balcony while it was raining, and a maid trying to take her inside where its dry and safe. But Vanessa would even let the maid do her job, and kept struggling.

I ran up to Vanessa, trying to help the old maid to get her to her bed.

When we were at success in getting Vanessa inside, I felt her fever rising and so I called the hospital, but the line was busy.

"I quit." The maid said, making me turn to face her, "I can't take it anymore, I quit." She said running out of the room.

Focusing on Vanessa again, I called the emergency line but it was still busy.

I ran to the neighbors for help, but when I was running out, my chest suddenly felt aching and tight, it was getting harder for me to breath, it was like I was having a heart attack.

But as I kept on running it suddenly turned black, and all I could hear was people shouting that I needed to go to the hospital.

I regained consciousness at the hospital with a doctor trying to help me. But all I could do was shout "Vanessa!" "Help Vanessa!" I kept shouting for them to help my cousin, but they wouldn't listen. Then my vision turned into a blur when they use sedative on me.

The next day, I who was conscious and was discharge of the hospital returned to Vanessa's place. But what was waiting there for me almost killed me. There I saw a lifeless Vanessa on the floor and Jacob holding to her tightly and crying.

"Jacob...... Vanessa...." I said there name still processing what's in front of me. 'Impossible' I thought 'It can't be' I continued to myself.

Jacob turned to face me, with teary eyes, "Why.... Why didn't you take care of Vanessa?!" He said to me

"It can't be" I said aloud, when I was about to explain to him, but didn't give me a chance, "You murderer!" He shouted at me "You killed Vanessa! Get out!" He shouted back.

Vanessa's funeral was held the next day. Making an appearance at the funeral and try to talk to my aunt and uncle but all the said to me was that I killed their daughter.

Jacob then appeared in front of me and slap me. "I'll hate you to my grave." He said to me, looking straight to my eyes full with hate. Not letting me explain.
