The Ambulance came fifteen minutes after it was called. They took her in and only asked for one person to come inside and the others to follow behind.
Freya was the one to get inside the ambulance and Mike together with Max followed behind. They got in the hospital just in time and helped push the stretcher along the long hospital corridors.
The smell of hospital chemicals hit Freya's nose and she thought she would have to come to this place. Tears threatened to spill as memories flooded in.
Her mother running next to her stretcher talking to her just like the nurse told her to.' Talk to her and find let her close her eyes ', she looked around and nothing had changed. The same hospital. Ramsay Health Care.
She walked to the receptionist who was just talking to the doctor who was going to take care of Nanny. She was given a paper and pen to fill in.
Just when she was writing she heard someone else talk to the receptionist. She looked at her feet as she was facing down and saw six-inch heels and long slim legs.
"I would like to know which ward Daniel Thompson is in? ", she lifted her head and her eyes met a pair she didn't want to meet at the moment. Narisa seemed to be taken aback when she saw Freya's tear striken face and a little smile grew on her face.
She took two steps closer to her.
"Is everything ok ", she asked mockingly.
"That's not anything that has to do with you", she muttered under her breath.
"I was just being caring ", she huffed.
"Let's stop pretending now should we? We both know that you don't care even one tiny bit. Just stop the act ".
"Of course I don't care ", she scanned her from head to toe. Her clothes had bloodstains ."But I pity you. Poor shame ", she turned her head and it hit her face and knocked on the reception desk her glared at the nurse for an answer.
She arranged her glasses and typed fast on the computer. Room number 108, the ICU. Go straight from here, turn left, go straight again. You'll find it.
"Thanks ", she said, turned and left with the sound of her shoes every time she took a step. She was only a few feet away when she heard the receptionist tell Freya that she had to the same direction and hastened her steps.
She saw Sam seating by the door sobbing terribly. She knew how desperate Sam would be for comfort and they were friends before she started throwing herself at him. And he wouldn't say no to her. She knew that he wouldn't.
The moment she called out his name he raised his head he threw himself and her and cried. He lunged at her and squeezed her so tight and she hugged him back in return with a sly smile on her face. His sobs got uglier and louder for a few seconds and then they calmed.
As if draining energy from her whole body Freya's heart was beating faster than ever. It thundered inside feeling like it was going to burst within seconds. She stopped in her tracks as she looked at what was before her.
She watched as the man that her heart would beat a thousand times before because of love being hugged and comforted by another woman. In another woman's arms. Being given soft little kisses on the cheeks. She had been waiting for this very man after he left the morning after they had reconciled, agreed that they would rekindle and give what they felt a try and see if it was something. But it wasn't worth it after all.
What did that other night mean to him? Did he everything said to her that night or he also wanted to use her? All men are the same. The same words she once heard from Marcus flooded in
"Bitch...
Slut...
Whore..
No one will ever want you.
What do you think you are.
You don't deserve to be happy.
Go to hell".
She looked at his face. "Everything is going to be ok sweetheart you hear that?", he asked and he lightly nodded.
Freya moved to the side and they shifted closer as a stretcher was passed behind them. They took a seat. Narisa placed her bag next to her and continued comforting Sam constantly wiping his tears and giving soft kisses on the cheek and brought her head up a little. Looking at Freya with a smirk on her face.
Why can't he move? Why is he okay with that slut giving small kisses to him? Or maybe they are a thing. What other reason couldn't he be refused .Their actions explained everything?
Tears started forming, her vision became blurry and the tears threatened to spill. She saw Mike at a distance running in her direction. She blinked in her tears as much as she could.
"Freya, why did you stop? They need blood. You know anyone whose blood group is O positive?", he heard a voice say and now something inside him was triggered. This is where he would get comfort. But did she see what Narissa did seconds ago?
He brought his face up and saw a different expression on her face. It told everything. It wasn't the warm smile with bright beautiful eyes. I was the glare that could bore holes into one's soul. He knew what must be running on that little mind of hers.
This was not right. This wasn't supposed to see that. She wasn't. I don't want to see her like this. Why didn't I stop her the moment she started with all the kisses? 'Sam look what you did. You just dug your own grave ', he thought in his mind
"Yeah, I do. I'll call them up right now ", she said with her eyes connected with Sam's eyes
"Freya ", he stood up with his tear-stricken face. He was shocked to see the bloodstains that covered her clothes but she just stared at him blankly and didn't say anything."What you just saw..How much did you see", he asked.
"I saw enough", she said turning on her heel and ran in the opposite direction.
"It's not what you think ", he whispered but she didn't hear anything he said.
Freya ran towards where she came from. Mike looked at them. He didn't know what to do as they all stood looking at her sister. Freya told her that he was calling someone for the blood.
"Kiddo get back there just in case they need anything ", Max told Mike, he nodded and went back.
Sam ran past him and brushed his arm and followed Freya. He had to explain this before she thought more of it and get the best of her and sprinted towards her.
"Please hurry ok we need it right now ", she said with a little bit of panic in her voice.
"Ok I'm coming right now ", the other female voice said on the other side of the phone.
"Freya what you saw was ", but she cut him off.
"What I saw right there was the reason why you haven't called, texted, or even called in days. Because you've been busy with that slut over there", she yelled. You could sense the hurt and the betrayal she felt deep within and had ripped her heart into shreds.
"Like I'm even starting to doubt that you even meant everything you said that night", she asked.
"I meant everything I said on that night I swear ", he said running his hands through his hair. He was confused. What to do. She saw everything this wasn't going to be easy. Why is this happening to him?
"Oh really and what was that back there", she asked.
*silence *
"Now you're silent yet you told me that what I saw isn't what I think it was ", she lifted her hands in exasperation. "Who am I kidding I'm just wasting my time ", she went past him but he held her arm.
"Let go of my arm ", she said in anger.
"No I'm not unless you listen to me ", he said.
"Listen to what? Why you haven't called or why you were having some cute comforting with what you say isn't your girlfriend but you allow her to kiss you ?", she asked.
"She's just a friend", he said.
"Is that the best excuse you can come up with", she asked. "Let go of my arm ", she tried getting her arm out of his grasp but he tightened the grip in it.
"I'm not going to let go of you like that ", he said.
Freya turned. She looked at him in shock. She heard those words before and it didn't end well. No, no way this wasn't going to happen again.
He pulled harder but it was as if he was playing. "Let go of m..", she said but someone talked before she could finish what she was saying.
"The lady said let go of her ", another voice said.
They both turned and Freya was relieved to see him.
"Leave us alone. You don't know what this is all about ", Sam said.
"I know everything about my girlfriend", Max said.
He quickly let go of her. "Great you're the one who was accusing me but now this ", he said. Laughed a little in disbelief and held his waist.
"Think whatever you want to Thompson", she snickered. She didn't care any longer. Held Max's hand and went to the car.
"Just take me to any place as long it's not this one ", she said the moment she sank in the passenger seat and the engine came to life.
