After school ended that day. I felt a really sharp pain in my chest. I remembered about my disease and I was afraid. I quickly rushed to the hospital for a check up. I waited for the results and hope it wasn't triggered.
I had always been surpressing my pain ever since I found out about my disease.
Finally the doctor came to me with the results. "Miss, we have done some tests and luckily it has not been triggered yet." I was relieved when the doctor said that statement. "But miss, you have to make sure you take care of yourself. Your heart is really weak right now. Even the tiniest emotion can trigger this disease."
MY heart started to race and I tried to calm myself. 'I shouldn't worry about it. I just need to calm myself. I have been happy lately thanks to Caroline and the others so it won't be a problem.' I thought
I thanked the doctor and left. On my way to the Cafe, a strange man came to me and handed an envelope to me. I was confused. After that he collected it and ran away. I thought it was a prank so I forgot about it.
It was another Saturday again and the most shocking thing happened when I got to the dance studio.
There were dozens of reporters outside and when they saw me, they came rushing towards me. I was confused.
They started asking me many strange questions. "Amelia Jones pls tell us how you discovered the identity of the last born of the Alcott's."
I was dumbfounded. It was true that many reporters have been trying to discover the identity of the last born of the Alcott's. Catherine's identity has always been hidden because of reporters and criminals.
Catherine was still really small and was definitely not used to reporters rushing over to her. Axel and the other Alcott's always wear face masks and face caps when they were out. I wondered how Catherine was but there were too many reporters and I couldn't pass through them.
I didn't know why they were facing me. Suddenly Axel came and dragged me roughly into the building. I could see he was really angry.
When I got inside, I saw Catherine hugging carol. She was scared. I wanted to go and hug her when Axel suddenly stopped me.
"Don't you think about getting near her at all." I halted. I wondered why he was suddenly angry.
Caroline shouted. "Axel, let her speak. I am sure someone is trying to frame her. She would never have done that."
Now I was really confused. I didn't know what was going on. "What happened? why are there reporters outside?"
Axel suddenly shouted in anger. "Keep that mouth of yours shut." I had never seen Axel this angry.
"Axel. Don't shout at her like that. She said she doesn't know anything about it." Caroline shouted.
Axel held out a hand to Caroline gesturing her to keep quiet. "Stay out of this."
Axel walked over to me. "Why? If you needed money I could have gotten it for you easily. You could have asked anyone. Ares, Caroline, Max or even Blake. But you were busy showing them your fake side. Instead you went ahead and told the media about Catherine in order to get money. I almost believe Catherine's words but thank God I came to my senses."
I was dumbfounded. Information about Catherine has been leaked out? And he thinks that I was the one who sold it for money.
"Why would you think I would do something like that. I would never do anything that could hurt Catherine."
Axel grabbed my wrist and held it tightly. He was really hurting me. "Lies, lies. Why are you still telling lies. Did you know because of you, some kidnappers almost got their hands on my little sister. Her face is all over the media now and it is all because of you. You are the only one who knew about Catherine except from us. If you are still trying to deny it then have a look at this."
Axel shooved a photo in her hands. Amelia hand were shaking as she looked at the photo. It shows that a man was giving her an envelope full of cash.
I froze when I saw the man in the pictures. It was the same man she met after coming from the hospital. Someone is trying to frame her once again.
"I-I promise. I don't know anything about this. You have believe me. I don't even know this man." I said as tears came rushing from my eyes. The same thing is happening again. They always find a way to frame me and people who rather believe a picture than to believe me.
"You still have the guts to lie again. The man in this photo is the one that published the story and he said it was you that sold it to him. He is right outside. I have already questioned him and he gave me a photo of Catherine and you saying it was you who gave it to him. This is the picture." He said bringing out another picture.
Indeed it was a picture of me and Catherine. "There is only one of this photo and it is you who has it. How come it got to the reporter's hand? " He continued.
I was confused. It was true. I always had this particular photo. I was the only one with this photo and I always kept it in my room. How did it get to someone else's hand?
I was shaking. I tried to calm myself down but I couldn't. All the accusations points to me. I had nothing in my defense. I could only beg him to believe me.
"L-Look Axel. You have to believe me, I don't know anything about this. Please." I cried begging him to believe me but he got more angry.
"Just keep quiet. Don't think your crocodile tears will work on me. I won't fall that type of trick. You are just like other girls that could even sell their body for money." Hearing that I slapped him but Axel didn't flinched at all.
"Just because I am quite, doesn't mean I will just let you insult me like that."
Axel smirked and walked out with Catherine and Caroline. Caroline wanted to speak to me but she couldn't because of Axel.
I was fired at the dance studio that day. I went to the Cafe. The manager disgraced me and also fired me. When I got to the orphanage. I was told never to come there again.
I was devastated and I could feel pain in my heart. Like it was about to tear apart.
When I got home. Amber and Scarlett walked over to me. "Amelia, you are back. How was your day? Horrible right? Well, I couldn't have done it without my twin sister." Amber said with a smirk.
I turned to look at Scarlett. "You did this? How could you?" Scarlett filled the whole room with laughter.
"It wasn't hard figuring out. I went and searched your room and found your diary. Then I found the little girl's photo and all the remaining information I needed. I wanted to make you suffer bit by bit but the Alcotts just keep getting in my way. So I searched your room for any thing useful and I was really lucky."
I went over to her and slapped her across the face. "How dare you. Because you wanted to hurt me you dragged a little girl into this. Are you crazy? What have I ever done to you?"
Scarlett slapped me and strangled me. "You little witch. How dare you hit me. Do you want to know why I despise you? I hate you. Because of you uncle died. Uncle died because you. I really cherish uncle, he was like my God father but you killed him. You are a murderer. You don't deserve any good after what you did." She threw me away after she spoke.
Amber threw a letter to me. "Take this is a letter from the school. You will not believe what they sent." After saying that she and Scarlett laughed all the way to their rooms.
I took the letter and read it. It was a letter from my school saying that my scholarship has been canceled and I will no longer be accepted in the school.
It felt like my whole life was crumbling before me. 'Everything I had worked for. I was close to achieving my goals. Now nothing remained. I have nothing. There was no more hope.'
I suddenly felt great pain in my heart. Then I started coughing. Blood came out from my mouth as I coughed. I smiled bitterly. 'Was my disease triggered? Was it really over for me?'
I got up and staggered all the way to the hospital. When I got to the reception. I suddenly collapsed.
I found myself in a dark place all of a sudden. I couldn't see anything. I shouted but no one replied. Suddenly I saw a light. It was difficult to see because it was to bright but I managed to push through. I saw my dad. He was standing looking at me with a smile.
"Dad!!! Is that you?" I exclaimed. "Yes my dear. It is me. I never left you alone. I was always with you. You have grown into a beautiful girl. Remember my dear. You are born for greatness. With time you will know everything. Till then live a happy life." Saying that he disappeared.
"Dad! Please come back. Don't leave me again. Please take me with you. I don't want to stay here anymore. I am tired of this place. Dad!!!"
