"Bella Cowell, the principal needs you in his office," students started murmuring after she was summon. She was never called by the principal before "Why am I feeling strange and restless? As if something terrible happened. She asked herself and convinced herself that she might be overthinking.
She collapsed after the principal told her about her parents accident. She regained her consciousness after a while. Her legs did not have the energy to take her to where her parents were, whether alive or dead she had no idea.
Where could she have looked for them? She wasn't told of their whereabouts. She went to every hospital that was nearby and inquired, she fought with every nurse and doctor but to no avail.
She tried calling her uncle but no response. At last she went home tired, defeated, looking miserable. The first person she saw was her uncle, working on his laptop as if nothing happened. His face stoic, no emotion or whatsoever.
Michael Cowell a very well built man,tall and tanned skin, successful tycoon, known around the world and still a bachelor for whatever reason.
"Seriously uncle Michael, you are here as if nothing happened. She asked in disbelief. "Why are you here you should be with them. Take me to them, I want to see my parents. I want to bring them home. Where are they? Mom, dad enough of the hide and seek. I know you're playing with me. Just come out already." she ran to her uncle. Her looks questioning and confusion written on her face.
"Your parents are no more and I have done their funeral. He replied after Bella got on his nerves." They wouldn't have come back to life even if you saw them and now stop acting childish.
"Go to your room, you have school tomorrow." Bella's face became pale after hearing her uncle's words. Her mind full of thoughts. How can he be so normal. Was he this cruel before? It seems like he's hiding something. He's not meeting my eyes.
"Put it in your mind that you can't meet them anymore, not now or ever.
" What do you mean by I can't see my mom and dad uncle Michael, LET ME SEE MY PARENTS. She yelled at him. Holding his collar she started shaking him with all her might trying to drag him.
Her body shaking, her eyes red from crying, her face stained by her unstoppable tears.
"I can't believe you, as if they meant no one to you, he was your brother for God's sake. Didn't he mean anything to you? Or were you pretending she whisper yelled at him" . Breathing heavily she tried to compose herself.
"I don't know anything I want to see my parents at least take me where you buried them. I want to say my last goodbye to them."She whispered as tears welled up her eyes.
Her head felt heavy, dizziness surrounded her and within no time she collapsed.
" Mr Cowell she's fine, its just the heatstroke and besides it seems like she did not have anything all day long. Just give her something to eat and some painkillers, I'll take your leave now. The doctor said and grabbed his suitcase. I'll walk you outside doctor." Micheal walked him outside and came back with food, water and medicine on a tray.
" Oooh look who's awake? Isn't it princess Bella. I know you liked to be called like that,now here have something." She pushed his hand away and dropped the spoon."Stop pretending to care uncle Michael. I don't think you care anymore about me or my parents. She started sobbing after recalling her parents won't be back. She cried her eyes out. Nothing comforting her.
Bella woke up in the morning feeling a bit better after her uncle promised to take her to parents graveyard if she stopped crying and ate something. She tried not to cry whenever her parents came to her mind. The moments they spent together replaying on her mind.
Its been a week since her uncle promised her but he never came home or called.
Days turned into weeks, weeks into months but Bella couldn't get back to herself. She was grief-stricken. School was her daily routine. No friends to share with anything.
Engrossed in her thoughts, she didn't know where she was going. "Ouch, watch where you are going." she said after bumping into a stranger.
"The name is Theo princess, he stretched out his hand for a handshake but Bella ignored him and started walking away.
" Woah woah woah princess , no one, I say no one has ever ignored Mr. Theo Carter. He said blocking the way. "What's your name princess?" He asked with a grin on his face. Bella seemed annoyed with this act. "Theodore stop harassing her,you're not her type." A guy spoke behind Theo.
What are your thoughts on her uncle guys.
