Chapter twenty-two {Dallas}
"What the fuck is going on?" I asked about ready to hunt the doctor down. I looked over seeing Sarah's mom and dad looking at me with horror; they know i'm going to loose it. The doctor said that we could all leave and wait for the results, but I refused, rather just stand here in the lobby. "This sort of thing takes time Dallas. The doctors are working on finding out what happened to Sarah. We just have to be patient." Derek said placing his arm over Sell's shoulder. "If it makes you feel better I can go and ask. I am not working tonight but I still have clearence." He asked moving his arm away from her.
"Yes it would make me feel better! I want to know what fucking happened to my girlfriend! What happened to their daughter!" I roared pointing my finger at Sarah's parents. "I will be back hopefully with answers." Derek replied already walking through the door. Selenva stood there like a lost puppy, I almost feel sorry for her. I don't think I can comfort anyone right now, I feel like everything has been ripped away from me in a matter of minutes. All I care about is finding out what happened to Sarah! The numbness of this night is excruciatingly painful!
What could have made this happen? How could this have happened? She is my everything! All I have ever asked for and something takes it away, with a middle finger left pointing at me. "Dallas?" Sell asked me as my fist began to hit the wall of the lobby. I want to feel something anything! "I can't Sell!" I yelled hitting it over and over till I could feel something in my knuckle crack, pain shot through my hand. Sell's hand was there on my arm lightly touching me. Why can't she just leave me be? The door opened behind her, it was Derek with the doctor.
"Here they are the parents."Derek told him gesturing his arms. I looked over to where her parents were standing arguing and crying. "What did you find out doctor?" Sarah's father asked shaking a little. I decided to walk over there and make my presence known. "What happened to her?" I asked moving beside Sarah's folks. The doctor sized us all up with a frown on his face. " Mr. and Mrs. Paladin, I am so sorry to inform you that your daughter ,Sarah Paladin has been a victim of Cyanide poisoning." The doctor said moving his glasses to the bridge of his nose.
What the fuck? How could that have happened? I thought clenching my fists together while my right hand protested. " The poison its self exists in a number of lethal forms. That are present in nature or easily manufactured. You can Ingest or inhale it, the exposure leads to seizures, cardiac arrest, and death within minutes. There was nothing anyone could have managed to do for her. This is truly a tragedy to have happened to anyone, but such a beautiful young woman." The doctor said with tears at the brinks of his eye lids.
"We have a lot of paper work to do. I know that is probably the last thing you both want to do right now." The doctor said waving for them to follow after him. I couldn't control it any longer I lost it with that. I took a second to think about everything the doctor just told them. Victim? Victim? My head started spinning as I bashed it into the wall. The wall that felt stone like me, my hands puching into it, and my eyes letting tears fall. I dropped to my knees putting my arms up to cover my face. How could I let this happen?
Who would have done this? She had no fucking enemies! No one would have wanted to her! It was fucking Sarah! My fucking Sarah! I thought letting out every tear, every huff of breath. I looked up to see Sell's hand placed on my shoulder and her crying into Dereks arms. That is when it hit me, I felt my stomach tighten just looking at her. "Aiden!" I screamed pushing myself off the floor. I felt hate builing as I pichured Sarah lying on my bed life-less staring up at me. I bit my bottom lip trying to calm myself.
Sell placed her hands over her mouth, eyes wide with shock. "No! He wouldn't have done this Dallas!" Did she seriously just defend him? "You know it's true! Why are you defending him? He killed Sarah!" I screamed at her watching her body start to tremble. I don't care any more about her feelings towards him. Aiden is fucking done !" He is a fucking freak Sell and you know it! Derek moved in front of me till I couldn't see her. "Dallas stop she doesn't deserve this! I wouldn't put it past Aiden to have done this, He did it to Margo years ago, but we have no proof."
Derek turned to kiss her on the forehead and whispering something into her ears. "Okay." She replied in a whisper. Derek walked back in through the door. Out of no were the rage boiled inside of me till it erupted. "Selenva! You fucking! How could you allow someone like that freak around! Sarah is dead because of you!" I screamed furious. She wiped the tears from her cheeks saying ," Dallas!" Then bolted threw the lobby doors.
I ran to my truck listening to the engine roar to life leaving the hospital behind. Her mother told me before that she will let me know if they need anything. I know funerals aren't cheap, so they had better let me help them. Instead of paying for a white wedding ; I'm paying for a black funeral. My thoughts seemed to take dark turns before I finally saw me house. I pulled the truck into the drive way to a complete stop. I gripped the steering wheel tighter feeling the heat in my eyes come back. The hot tears ran down my face.
The front door still had party decorations hung up. Sarah insisted on all this shit! Looking at it only made me cry harder. So off the door it went on to the floor. I walked inside to see the house covered in beer cans and cups. I saw an unopened bottle of Sailor Jerry and cracked it open. I gulped it down , then decided I didn't care all I want to do is lay down right now. I pushed open my bedroom door. The pain the rose in my gut was unlike anything I have ever felt before. It was ripping its way from my gut to my heart as I looked down at my bed. I remembered her laying there with her eyes open and life-less. She had on so much makeup that my pillow has black streaks from her crying on it.
I droped to my knees at the edge of the bed smelling her on my sheets. I pichured her in full health looking up at me yelling my name. Her giggle that send tingels through me everytime I heard it. I could feel her lips on mine ; lips that always had a rose tint to them. I pichured her when I first realized I loved her. She had on a blue summer dress and high heels that showed just the right amount of thigh. Damn she is beautiful! Her laying on my bed like that...breathing like that...I feel like I died with her. I pulled myself on top of the bed and traced the smeared eye liner.
I took in a lung full of her scent keeping it locked inside my lungs. Still able to feel the warmth of her touch on my cheek. I could feel the rum inside my stomach moving around making its self known. She could have still been here if it wasn't for that fucking freak! I have to tell the cops about him. I know it was him! If I don't I know I'm going to kill him. Aiden is done for good, I know I took it out on Sell. She is the only reason that piece of shit was here! I slammed my fist into my mattress. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed the police station.
I hung up the phone after telling them about Aiden and that they needed to check him out. They said they would look more in to Sarah's case, then they will request a search warrant. I stretched out yawning pulling the pillow closer to my face. " I'm sorry I didn't protect you well enough! I'm sorry I allowed you to get hurt! I will always love you babe! I will see that Aiden gets what he deserves!" I cried breathing her scent in once more letting tears fall before closing my eyes to finally sleep.
