THE Girl With The Siren Voice

I touched a little on what happened after Lizzie returned to New York,on the first chapter. So I'll just summarize a little from that chapter and continue from there. If you don't remember I suggest you go back to the first chapter to recap. Hope you're enjoying the story.

"I love you Ren." I've been hating on myself for leaving without saying these three words to him when he confessed hos feelings to me.

I closed my eyes as I let go off of the railing and took a step forward. I felt my body dropping in an instant. I felt the air engulf my body, it was in my eyes, nose, everywhere.

I closed my eyes welcoming death when when suddenly I felt a warm, strong hand grab my arm. My body came into harsh contact with the glass, of which I'm guessing was the window. It felt like someone took a knife and stab my neck with it. I felt liquid dripping down from my neck as well as my forehead.

My head got dizzy from the impact and my eyes fell at the back of my skull and within seconds, darkness took over.

*****

I'm laying on a comfy cushion, warm blanket covering body. The room smells nice, like flowers, or it is incense, I don't know. But whatever it is, it smells wonderful.

I lazily opened my eyes, the ceiling was white and blinding. I closed them and shift my head to face the other direction an it seemed I made my presence known to the person sitted at the room with me. I opened my eyes again and they landed on the most handsome face I've been longing to see for tye past two months I've been back to New York.

Ren.

I struggled to get myself up and he placed his strong hands on my back, helping me sit up. My eyes were stuck on his face like glue I couldn't believe he's right besides me, holding me, I couldn't believe it. I opened my mouth to speak but words couldn't make their way out if my lips. I placed my hand on my throat and noticed my throat was bandaged and that's when it stroke me like lightning. Memories of what happened clouded my mind, I remembered going back to my apartment after Mr Collins agreeing on proceeding with my delayed album. I was drinking, then went to the balcony, jumped and then was saved and then felt liquid dripping down on my neck and forehead then passed out.

My gaze went back to Ren as I opened my mouth to speak again, "Wha..." I paused words couldn't make their way out of my mouth again. I stared at him panic visible in my face, "Ren I can't speak!" I screamed the words in my head, holding into him, almost tearing his arm off.

"It's okay," He said, wrapping his strong arms around my body. How I missed that voice, how I missed being close to him, how I missed him. But I wasn't really enjoying his embrace, my main concern was my voice, I can't speak.

The door opened and I heard footsteps heading towards the bed, I let Ren go and directed my attention to the doctor on my left. My heart dropped as my eyes laid on him, I lost my strength, I died.

"Ethan!" I spoke but of course words couldn't make their way out of my lips. I'm sure he noticed the shock in my eyes. I mean how could I not be shocked, I was meeting my twin brother for the first time after he tried to take away my voice, wait, did he do it? Did he succeed on his mission to take away my voice?

I flicked as he laid his hand on my head, and moved towards Ren. He sighed, knowing why I didn't wanted him to touch me. "I'm just going to examine you, Liz." he spoke in a begging tone. I shook my head, no, and held onto Ren for dear life.

He tried touching me again and I hit his hand moving even closer to Ren, "Elizabeth, just let the doctor do his job." I don't know if that was a scolding or what but there was no way I was going to allow Ethan to lay his filthy hands on me.

I shook my head no, again.

"I'm sorry but you leave me no choice." Stated Ethan as he took a needle, put some medicine or whatever and injected it on the IV. I tried fighting but sleep soon took over.

I woked up this time to find everyone there, by everyone I mean Ren, my manager, Sarah and that devil's son Ethan. "As I've explained before some pieces of glass were inserted on her voice box__" I stared at him as he went on about my voice. This is why I hate doctor's, what's the use of explaining your patient's life story instead of just telling them what's wrong with them. "She damaged her voice box and thus we had to remove it."

"What are you saying, exactly?" Asked my manager.

"She might never be able to speak again." He explained. I'm sure he'd been waiting to say these words for a long time now, and I'm sure he's jumping up and down with joy right now. As if noticing I had something to say, he took off his phone and handed it to me. "Type here what you want to say. I'll send the nurse with some cue cards for you to use, later."

I wanted to refuse but I'd a tone of things I wanted to say, so I took it and wrote, "Did you remove my voice box because it was damaged or because you wanted too?" Then showed it to him.

He read through then sighed, "It wasn't an easy decision to make. I couldn't let you live with pieces of glass stuck in your voice box. I know you're still mad at me but I could never do anything to hurt you."

I rolled my eyes as I took the phone and typed, "Stop acting like you care and get me another doctor. I don't want to be treated by you." I spit out, and showed him what I've written. I hate the fact that I couldn't speak.

He sighed again as he ran his hand on his hair, he did that frequently whenever we fight or have an argument, and doesn't know how to control me. He looked at everyone in the room with us, "Can you please excuse us?"

I turned to Ren, begging him to stay, I didn't want to be left alone with him. "I'll be outside." He placed a kiss on my forehead before he walked out of the room with everyone. I noticed Ethan staring at him with the most devilish eye I've never seen in my life before.

It's official, brother's just hate on their sister's boyfriends for no reason at all.

"I'm sorry I tried to remove your voice box before but it wasn't my attention to remove it now. If I hadn't removed it would've ended up causing cancer and you would have died." he literally yelled at me.

I lowered my eyes to his phone and wrote, "Stop yelling at me, I wasn't the one who send you to drug your own twin sister and try to remove her voice box. I wonder how you've been sleeping at night after pulling a stunt like that." I showed it to him.

I noticed him swallow a big lump on his throat," I haven't." He lowered his face to the floor, "I haven't been able to sleep ever since that day. I hated myself for what I almost did to you, I hated myself as a brother and as a twin, I'm your only family left and despite knowing that I tried making you a mute."

"You ain't my family, never were and never will be. I don't have a brother and you're definitely not my twin." I said.

He nodded as he raised his eyes and looked at me, "Do you think its been easy for me? It wasn't easy for me then and it's definitely not easy for me now. How do you think ot made me feel seeing you suffering because of your voice? How do you think it made me feel seeing my sister crying herself to sleep every night? How do you think that made me feel?" he yelled at me and just then the door opened and Ren walked in, not pleased at him for yelling at a patient.

"I don't think it's proper to shout at patients, especially one who's still struggling to disgust the fact that she can't speak." Ren pointed out.

I noticed Ethan swallowing a lump on his throat again, forcing his tears back to his eyes. He looked at me, "I'm sorry I wanted to take away your voice. I know it wasn't the best idea but to me it was the only way I can end your suffering. I'll get you another doctor."

He walked out of the room afterward. Ren walked close and hugged me, noticing how badly I wanted it. I wished the world would just open up and swallow me.

I wasn't mad at Ethan for trying to take away my voice, I was mad at myself for making him cry.

Some family reunion hey.
