Angel Of Revenge

34:JEALOUS

JESSICA

My throat was so dry and I felt so lightheaded. A glass of water would do. I threw my backpack on the kitchen counter and took out a glass and filled it with water. I hated groundwater but I didn't have much of a choice,did I?

After drinking, I rinsed the glass and was turning to grab a cloth to wipe it dry when my eyes peered through the window.

Daniel was leaning against his car,typing angrily on his phone. I was curious to know who he was texting but I didn't think I'd remember to fish it out because he looked so good in those skinny jeans.

Anyone would love to have that plain white shirt in their wardrobe right now but I bet they wouldn't rock it as much as he did. I remembered I had read somewhere that they glowed under the sun,I was sure other humans knew too. He wouldn't take that shade with to town.

As I admired his simple sense of style that he made seem so sophisticated effortlessly,he suddenly snapped from his phone and to the left so fast,I feared some bone would have broken. His facial expression turned from angry to annoyed and I wondered why until grinning from ear to ear Gina came into view. So she didn't only annoy me?That felt so much better.

She said something to Daniel who replied, seemingly rudely,with his perfect eyebrow arched. She said something again and he replied with little enthusiasm as before and turned his attention to his phone again. I wished I could hear what they were talking about. Daniel could be so disrespectful but she deserved it. Suddenly,she moved closer to him. She ran her dirty fingers down his toned arm. Daniel put his phone in his pocket and turned to her,he still wore the indifferent expression.

When he looked down at her and she looked up to him through her long eyelashes, it seemed like a typical romantic movie scene and for some reason, I was annoyed by their proximity. They exchanged words but their lips were barely inches apart,it seemed as if they would touch. What the fuck was I watching?Gina's hand had just found its way to Daniel's abs when someone cleared their throat behind me.

"Oh,don't just they look cute together?" Rosinah gushed,looking past me and through the window.

"Yeah,"I replied, unbothered and walked away. I thought I might need to use the toilet before I left.

"And they'll look even better next month when they get married,"she said behind me and that stopped me right on my tracks.

"Oh,you didn't know? Daniel's engaged,"she laughed.

For some reason,it was like a spear had been buried at the centre of my heart. It hurt,really hurt.

I ran up the stairs and behind me,I heard her shout,"take care of yourself at town!" Before breaking into a laugh again.

I wondered if this was what eternity felt like when I finally stepped into the sun. I gladly accepted the warm rays as they delicately fell upon my skin which was turning to snow. It was a little bit too early for such warm temperatures. It would be scorching hot by the afternoon but I worried not. My white dress was thin enough and my golden sandals just gave my outfit a sense of simplicity. It dawned on me now that I had become a little too obsessed with simplicity,dresses to be exact. I wore them more frequently than I had thought I would. I had told myself I'd never wear them again because back in Camberliseè, I always was in them. I would be in a thin dress during stormy nights but when I found them on my suitcase,I couldn't stop myself. To be quite honest, I had,in fact,grown fond of them because they required less effort.

Out of habit,I took the back seat.

I saw him looking at me on the rear mirror and I knew he'd say something.

"This is not a cab,you know?"

"Well,sure does feel like it,"my reply reeked of annoyance which was ridiculous. Why the hell was I mad? It was surely not because about the plan.Wait,was I seriously mad?

He pursed his lips,"come to the front,"he said.

"No,I want to sit here,"I actually meant it.

"America,I ain't got all day,I said come to the front,"he said,his voice devoid of emotion. America? Why did he call me that? What did it mean?

I sighed and hugged my bag close to my chest before doing what he had ordered.

The ride to town was a quiet and uncomfortable one. I would occasionally glance at him as he drove. His looked angry,as if there was a storm taking place inside him. There were times when I even wondered whether we'd make it to the mall,no,I because there was no way he'd die,no matter how bad the accident was. He drove so carelessly, that steering wheel would easily slip out of his control.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!"I finally snapped when he overtook a cab at great speed and nearly hit a bulk truck.

"Can't you just drive like a normal person? Do you want to kill me?"

He kept looking at his rear mirror as if he was racing with someone. I hadn't signed up for this fast and furious shit.

With a screech,the car suddenly spinned out of the road and into a dark forest.

"Daniel,what are you doing?"he didn't seem to do anything to stop it . He even let go of the steering wheel and his feet had moved off the brakes.

"Daniel!I want to get out right this instant,Daniel!"

"You mother did say please before I drank from her,"he chuckled and when I looked at him questionably,my favourite green was no more. Victor's, impure and ancient eyes had replaced it.

I quickly undid my belt and moved on to his seat to take the wheel. I sat on top of him and put my little feet on the brakes but it was already late. The car hit the tree trunk but I think fear knocked me out before the hard blow.
