As soon as she turned and walked away, Ethan hit his hand on the ground as his eyes turned red.
Turning to look at the body beside him on the floor, he heard a voice instruct him;
"Bruh...ain't you think you should pick her up?" The voice first asked.
Raising his head slowly to look at the person talking to him, the guy said;
"She your fiancee, right?"
Slowly turning his head back to look at Olivia, Ethan glared at her.
Getting up and dusting his body, he made a phone call and left the area, leaving Olivia's body on the floor.
People stared in shock at Ethan.
They couldn't believe that he had left the injured lady on the cold floor like that.
Was he crazy?
Some guys walked over to her and picked up her body and took her to the emergency room so that she could be revived.

As soon as Temi turned, she wiped away the tears that had begun rolling down her eyes.
She couldn't believe it...
Someone, she was so deeply in love with and had promised her that he would wait...
He had said it over and over again, that he would wait...
No matter what, he was always beside her...
He wouldn't leave her.
He had said it so much to the point Temi thought he was already reciting their wedding vows.
Then something dawned on her...
Had she loved him, even?
Did he ever mean any of those things that he had been saying?
Why would he play with her feelings like that, all this time?
Then the question popped up in her head again;
'Had you ever even loved him?'
'And even 'if' you had, were you sure that he had loved you back?' Temi's conscience spoke to her.
At the thought of the latter, Temi's eyes reddened as she wiped the tears that had now clouded her eyes.
She was sure that she had loved him and 'he' had loved her back.
All the times that they spent together...
She was sure that he was deeply in love with her.
But then, there was Olivia...
Olivia was her best friend...
They had grown up together and had even known each other longer than 'they' had known Ethan.
Ethan was a few months older than both girls so that makes him somehow like their senior.
Temi paused as something popped up in her mind...
Shaking her head, she waved it off. She didn't want to think about it, otherwise, Ethan wouldn't know what hit him.
As she was about to head onto the plane, she heard someone shout out her name.
"Temi!"
It sounded like her brother's voice.
When she turned around, she saw her entire family, from her Father and Mother, down to little Bryan all standing at a spot and waving at her...
Little Bryan was in his Mother's arms, when he saw his sister had turned around, he jumped down from his Mother's arms and ran to his sister.
Temi had tears in her eyes, she had almost forgotten about her family.
Seeing her little brother run in her direction, she took a few steps forward and went on one knee as she opened out her arms for him to run into, which he did.
With his head on his big sister's shoulder, he cried his eyes out as he hugged her tightly.
"I'm gon' miss you aunt Tems!" Bryan cried.
Pulling away from the hug as she brought him in front of her so she could see him, Temi said;
"I'm gon' miss you too, Lil B!"
As soon as she called him that, little Bryan began to cry all over as he dived back into his big sister's embrace.
Slowly, one after the other, they came to bid farewell to Temi.
From Bryan...
To Lucas...
To Troy...
And then finally,
Her parents.
Once Bryan dug back into his big sister's embrace, Lucas made his way over to them.
Standing behind them for a while, Lucas coughed to let them know that he was standing behind them and, then looking up firm the hug, Temi smiled as she opened out her other arm to him, to have him enter the embrace.
"Hm...you're taking up most of the space in here!" Bryan complained.
Temi burst out laughing.
"You're not the only one that's going to miss her...!" Lucas shot back.
"But I'm the baby of the house...I'm her baby!" Bryan said as he pouted.
Lucas rolled his eyeballs.
"Yeah, right, whatever...Mum and Dad are the ones that are gonna miss her the most!"
"Blah blah blah...I don't care!" Bryan covered his ears with his palms as he didn't want to hear what his older was saying.
While Temi watched them bicker and banter, she didn't take note of the approaching figure that was headed their way.
Trapping the two of them in his embrace, Troy picked up his two (2) younger brothers and squeezed them hard in his arms as he said;
"Can you two parrots not make this moment memorable, at least?"
"You're the parrot, not me!" Lucas said as she tried to break free from his brother's tough hook, and at the same time trying to adjust his glasses.
"Yeah, you talk more than us...so why put the blame on us?" Bryan agreed with his other brother as he asked.
Placing them both down, Troy stood up straight as he crossed his arms over his chest as he said;
"I do agree that I talk too much...more than you even...!" He said, not denying the fact that he talked much more than they do.
"So why are you now calling 'us' parrots?" Lucas asked, but as soon as those words left his mouth, he knew the answer immediately.
He immediately wanted to say something, but as he opened his mouth, his brother, Troy also opened his mouth, about to say something too.
Smiling at his little brother, Troy said;
"Go on!"
Lucas shook his head violently.
Troy laughed.
"I know you know the answer!" Troy said.
Lucas stared at him.
"C'mon say it...!" Troy urged.
"No!" But Lucas kept resisting.
Troy shrugged as he opened his mouth, about to say it.
"The reason why he said that 'we're' the parrots is because...yeah, of course, we know that he talks more than us, but the fact that we were the ones that were currently talking at that time, made it look like 'we' talk more than he does!" Lucas blabbered, not pausing for air.
Little Bryan just stared at his older brother.
It wasn't until after a moment did he understand what his brother was talking about.
Shaking his head he said;
"Wait, what? So that's what he meant?" Little Bryan asked.
Lucas nodded.
"Took you long enough...!" Troy said with his arms crossed over his chest.
Bryan glared at him.
"Wait till when we get home, then you'll see what I'll do to you...Just watch!" Bryan said.
Temi couldn't hold herself from laughing as she burst out laughing.
Staring at his sister in shock, little Bryan asked;
"Aunt Temi, why are you laughing?"
Temi wanted to respond, but couldn't say anything as she laughed harder.
"This is a serious matter and you're laughing? Do you think it's funny?" Little Bryan asked.
Temi stopped laughing immediately as she looked at her young bro, who gave her a very stern look that almost looked as if he were narrowing his eyes at her.
If she hadn't gotten looks that were much sterner than the one her brother was giving her now, she would have sworn that this was the sternest look she had ever seen and received.
"This is a very serious issue that requires so much fight, and you're laughing Aunt Temi?" Little Bryan asked.
Temi pursed her lips as she watched him rant.
Looking up at her brother, Troy, who was standing and also looking down at their little brother, Bryan as he met his sister's gaze and smiled.
Nodding her head, Troy knelt and opened his arms out, as Temi grabbed all three of them in her arms and hugged them warmly.
Bryan that had been blabbing continuously, non-stop, was now muted by the sudden but warm hug.
Looking up at his older brother, Troy, he asked;
"So you're also gonna miss her?"
Troy looked down at his brother with a glare as he said!
"You're not the only one that's gon' miss her!" His voice was firm.
"Exactly!" Lucas said.
Bryan glared at his brother.
"Whose side are you on?" He couldn't help asking.
Lucas opened his mouth, but mi words formed.
Adjusting his glasses.
"Both sides...!" He said.
"I'm on both sides!"
Both Troy and Bryan looked at themselves.
"You're a confused soul...!" Bryan said.
"Absolutely...!" Troy agreed.
"Hey...!" Lucas was annoyed.
"You need to go visit a doctor...!" Bryan said.
"Exactly...!"
"You're not helping issues...!" Lucas pouted out as he looked at his older brother Troy as tears gathered in his eyes.
"I never wanted to help issues!" Troy said plainly.
"Aw, do you wanna cry...cry, baby!" Bryan teased when he saw the tears that had gathered in his big brother's eyes.
Lucas glared at his little brother.
"No!" He replied as he wiped the tears away from his eyes.
"By the way...!" Lucas said.
"Whose side are you on?" Lucas asked as he looked at his two(2) brothers.
Both Troy and Bryan looked at each other before turning back to their brother as they asked;
"Which one?"
"Troy!" Lucas pointed.
Bryan turns his head to look at his oldest brother and then back at older brother Lucas as he asked;
"What do you mean?"
"He knows!" Lucas said.
"No, I don't!" Troy was trying to hide a smirk that was coming on.
"Yeah, you do and you're also tryna hide the smirk that's threatening yo come up...!" Lucas pointed out.
"What if I am?" Troy gave in and asked.
"Well, I just wanted to let you know that you're fooling yourself and not me!" Lucas said as he turned away.
"Well, I think you're right as you're the one fooling yourself too...!" Troy said.
"No, I'm not!" Lucas said as he avoided looking at his older brother.
"Yes you are...!" Troy pointed.
"And I can feel a smirk comin' on...!" Troy said slowly as he wanted to irritate his brother with it.
"Oh, I'm gon' miss you, big sis!" Lucas cried as he wrapped his arms around his sister's neck, deliberately ignoring his brother as he cut him off, when, he had already finished his sentence.
Troy smirked as he looked at his sister, who was hugging Lucas, offering her a smile, which, she returned.
Taking Bryan once again in her arms, and Troy, they all embraced each other warmly.
This sight attracted passersby to stop and silently watched them, some even taking out their phones to record it.
Four supposed siblings enjoying their last time together...
From a distance, Ethan watched them.
Olivia too...
She had woken up when two (2) guys picked her up from the cold floor.
