Albert was shocked at what Justine's dad was doing here, he remembered Justine telling him his father had just gotten a contract in California recently.
You're not fit to be Karson, Mr. Karson's voice was heard everywhere, his voice was so deep and commanding. Justine kept looking at the ground, he couldn't look up at his father or anyone, he was humiliated, and he felt like busting out in tears but that would make him weak, his father would even add to it. Justine's father was a disciplinarian, he was always cold to everyone and he does what he wants without thinking of what would happen to people around him. Because his father's attitude and affairs drove Justine's mom to her early grave, she couldn't take it anymore, even though she was the wife of one of the billionaires she still got bullied, she was taking all the suffering because of Justine, and his sister. When Justine was nine, he had seen many pills in her drawer when he was playing. Justine out of curiosity took one of the bottles which had some pills in it, he opened it and saw it was half empty, his mom had just gotten the drugs from the pharmacy yesterday but it was half empty already. He hid it in his pocket when he was about to leave her room his mother came in, she started questioning him, she looked unkept and was scratching her left hand too rough, she was trying her hardest not to scratch it but it kept itching. Ju-just leave, I have work to do, she stammered as she spoke, she looked like she had been crying for a really long time. That same day Justine busted the pharmacy where his mom had gotten the pills and he asked the lady at the front desk what the drugs were for, she told him they were Prozac, were happy pills, pills that helped with depression. Are you saying my mom is depressed, Justine had fear in his eyes because he knew what depression meant, he knew someone who died due to d|depression.
Pak!
Another slap echoed, and Justine got hit again.
When I speak you don't grint or growl, you hear!! Justine only got angry, he felt like shutting his father up.
I'm sorry Father, Justine said in a low tone.
I can't hear you speak louder idiot.
I'm sorry sir. Justine clenched his fist and his forehead had folded. His father instructed the cuffs to be taken off of his son if he even considered Justine one.
Let's go. Justine knew what that meant, "he was going to that place again".
Father can I just say my goodbyes, Albert is over there, just give me five minutes. His father looked at him irritatedly before checking his watch.
Your time starts now. Justine hurried to Albert who was still at the reception trying his hardest not to make matters worse for Justine, he knew what Justine was going through but he couldn't do anything he was a lowlife, and that was what Justine's father classified his family as.
Hey man, can you please ask Nigho to forgive me? I know what I did was horrible and I don't deserve forgiveness but she should know I was driven by what I was brought up with, she should please find it in her heart to forgive me. I know I can't change I'll only become more of a monster than a human, and can you forgive me too and you can still be staying at my place, Justine shakily brought out his card, here, have it. You can use it for me since I won't be out for months, Albert felt like crying, he knew his friend is going to go through hell for the next six months. And don't worry about rent, my uncle owes me a lot so don't think about it and if he tries anything funny when I'm back let me know alright, he gave his uncle a side eye when he said that. After making sure Albert was going to be alright, Justine went to his uncle. He sneered at him, Justine was beyond irritated, he felt like strangling his uncle, he already told his aunt to leave this good-for-nothing uncle of his but she said she loved him and she doesn't want her children suffering from them being divorced.
Looking at his uncle who was still seated with his hands behind him, his uncle couldn't look him in the eyes so he looked around trying to avoid his gaze.
You'll be in prison till I'm out alright? His uncle just kept on looking elsewhere, Justine got angry and yanked his collar.
Do I look like I'm fucking with you.....
Justine your time is up, let's go. And Silvester why don't you get a life?
Justine looked at his father with rage, he was talking like he was any better. The doctor who was attending to Nigho's injury came out irritated.
Who said she had a Laceration? That person is looking for their doctoring license today. Albert went to the doctor when he sighted him.
How is she? Is she alright? Is there anything serious?
No, no, and no. The cut wasn't that deep so she's fine. She has been stitched and can be taken anytime, just make sure she doesn't stress herself too much and she shouldn't add pressure so that blood won't flow again, alright? Mr...
Albert- Albert Rodriguez
Alright. And can you get her clothes to wear she can't walk around with her....uhm....underwear.
Okay, sir, Albert left to see Nigho who was still unconscious. I'll get her clothes now.
Justine had left the hospital so he couldn't say his goodbyes or apologize to nigho. He left the hospital in the deep blue porche his father came with and they were off to the airport and then into their private jet. Justine looked through the window dejected, he wasn't happy, he knew what was coming and he had long ago accepted it. Isn't it ironic how people want to live his life and he wants to live theirs, he chuckled at his thoughts.
Albert had brought Nigho some clothes to wear, she had woken up before he arrived. She looked at him with fear shown on her face, he was Justine's friend, he could do the same thing to me, he could even do worse things to me. Albert tried to calm her down, and when she finally calmed down they left the hospital after Albert had paid for the hospital fees. When they got to Nigho's apartment her bedroom was a mess so he offered her to stay with him at Justine's but she refused. She and Albert went on about why she couldn't stay at her place but she insisted and she won. Albert decided to help her clean up because he didn't want her messing up her injury the doctor said she shouldn't stress her legs after all.
