A RAY OF LIFE

21.

"Sarah...listen to me...." I tried to say while she was hung on Cathy. Cathy was smirking totally like it was some competition going on between me and her...like grow up woman!

"Iris, Cathy is good.... Caths will you stay with me too?" Sarah asked her innocently.

"Of course.. is that even a question. I'm so sorry you have to go through this but you are not alone don't worry" she said tucking some of Sarah's hair behind her ears. Sarah beamed in happiness. Of course! Now who am I kidding again, how will I ask her to help me get rid of Cathy...here she made a team with her already.

"Um I think... You guys must leave..." I said hesitantly.

"Oh why....you need some dark magic to do here.?" Cathy said eyeing me her worst. What's wrong with this woman?

"Cathy......really....get over me!" I said as the blood inside me was boiling with rage.

"Yeah caths.... Iris don't do occult and stuff...why would you say that...?" Sarah said and I felt my heart swell with happiness, so it's not that weak huh... whatever between us.

"Honey you are innocent.....ask her why she can see you and nobody else...ask her?" Cathy Cathy Cathy you bitch....imma re-kill you someday!

"Oh she told me already. She was....." And I shrieked before Sarah could complete. Obviously, I had to do it.

"Iris...what's wrong....." Sarah said in a tensed voice moving a little towards me. I held my bump and faked a delievery. Cathy was looking at me tensed too. I told ya, she was not that bitch as she was being with me.

Before they could come closer to me, I heard knocks on the door. Sarah got scared suddenly.

"That.....that must be......Naomi...." I said difficultly completely drown in my acting.

"Oh yeah yeah..." Sarah said and stepped back while I acted  great difficulty in walking and opening the door. The moment I opened, everybody was outside. Naomi hurled upon me.

"Iris.....what's wrong.....are you....are you ohkay.. ?" She asked me holding my shoulders. I had to continue the act for a while longer.

"Oww it's hurts............it's hurting so much down there......." I said while they helped me lay down on the bed.

Everybody came inside the room and stood around the bed looking at me. I was so hating myself for doing it first and then I shifted it to Cathy.....that girl deserves it.

"Should we call ambulance....." Mrs.Woods said with her tensed voice. I was hoping she won't start crying again, it was too much for her already.

"Or Derek......should we call Derek....?" Jeremy said.

"Oh no no.......no no.....it's not the time.......it might be a fake call....really.... " I said before they would really freak out.

"What happened" we all turned to the door and found a panting derek standing there holding the wall looking at me. Oh lord, too remorseful now. Never leaving this man!

"Derek.." it slipped my mouth in more of a whisper. He looked at me and nodded.

"Are you......are you fine...?" He said coming to the bed and sitting beside me. For a second I totally forgot about the act.

"She got the pain...maybe labor one" said Naomi holding my shoulder and that was my cue to shriek in pain a little more. Totally bad actor!

"Call 911..." Derek yelled behind him immediately.

"No no......Derek......it's not the time....wait....." I said as I knew it would turn disaster going to hospital with me as centre of attraction.
