Annabelle's POV
"Why are you here Annabelle?" He asked not even bothering to even look at me.

I honestly don't know what to say or how am going to say this but I needed the closure, I just wanted to set things straight and I know it's definitely not going to be easy.

"I came to talk only.'' I manage to say still standing by the door.

"Am asking you this one time only, why are you here Anna?'' he seemed pissed and I don't blame him what I did was totally wrong and I should have handled it in a better way.

"Am sorry." I manage to say looking down at my feet and he just let's out an iconic chuckle. "Is that funny?" I ask him dead serious now, Because I did not come here just so he can laugh at me.

"You need to grow up princess, life isn't a bed of roses where you do something wrong and think an apology will make it better," he explained.

"What else do you want, I said am sorry. I know I cheated on you and I admit it now but I just want to make things right." I said moving forward to  meet him but he simply backed away.

"You're so pathetic, you always do this. Create a problem and think you can make it right again and it's getting old the sooner you own up to your mistakes the better." He simply replied before walking out on me. But am definitely not letting him go that easy.

What did he mean by that? Aren't I owning up by apologizing right now? I just want to make things better for everyone, or could it be am actually the problem?

"What do you mean by that?" I still insist following him.

"You should know better than me now, I can bet right now you have a problem and is obviously running away from it and you think coming to me was the best option, am I wrong?'' he said coldly to me.

I was so speechless by his statement, of course he was right I was my problem, am a bad person and I never saw it. I need to make things right, for me, everyone and everything in the world.

"I have to go." I turn with tears in my eyes, he didn't seem to care he just wanted me out of his life and I don't blame him. I can't believe I ruined everything with me being me.

I made my way back home hoping to speak to Jason as soon as possible, I need to stop running away and be the big person. Am an adult now and I need to start acting like one.

I was driving really fast but I didn't care I just needed to get home as soon as possible, hopefully Maddie is still around too cause we have alot to talk about.

I got home and went straight to my room, I knew she'd definitely be there but I was wrong. I called the maid and she told me she left in the afternoon how great.

I decided to call Jason to ask if he's home but I couldn't reach him, is he ignoring me now, how great I try to make things right and this people just have to make it harder for me.

I quickly head downstairs to make myself a cup of tea, atleast it's something to keep me busy. I went and dismissed the maid so I'd be alone and stand by the kitchen counter, I turn on the kettle and put it on with the right amount of water and waited for it to boil.

I was still deep in thought, I hated being alone and right now it's all I do, how do I go from dating to cheating to dating and then to alone surprises even me. I was thinking of all the trouble I've been in over the years and how everything always ends up leading up to me that I didn't hear the kettle go off, it was when the maid got in that she called my attention to it.

"Madame the boiler." She went over there and turn it off.

"Thank you, leave me now." I simply said sighing to myself for being such a scatterbrain.

I went over by the cabinet to get a cup and a teaspoon, I was mixing in milk with 2 cubes of sugar, it's a weird way of starting the tea process but that's how I do it, just when the sugar had melted I reach for the kettle to put in the water.

I grab it and went straight to put in the right amount but my head just wasn't there, I couldn't think straight my left hand was by the cup and my right was holding it up that I didn't know when I ended up pouring the hot water on my hands rather than the cup.

"Fuucck," I let out frustrated, my hands were red and burned, just my luck.

I angrily stormed out of the kitchen knocking the cup over which ended up falling and breaking into pieces and headed straight to the room to tend to my hand. I reach for the first aid kit in my room and rub an afterburn ointment over my hurt hand, I can't believe how stupid am being over something Chad said, I shouldn't let him distract me I won't allow it.

I was still angrily tending to my hand before my phone rang and his name flashes on my screen.

"Finally.'' I let out happily.

Jason's POV
"What do you mean the Osgads are filing a lawsuit against us?" I faced the  many directors in front of me.

"A package of theirs got missing and from my record here it was delivered successfully." One of them answered.

"How did this even happen? I've been here all wee--" I was cut off.

"It happened during your break in London," he corrected me.

"Where's the board director?" I stood up abruptly. "Why is he absent?" I added.

"Do you mean your granddad Sir?" He asked and I totally lost it.

"Meeting adjourned I'll handle it." I left the room dramatically.

For a second I was calm and willing to listen to this old man and he doesn't show, and now am facing a lawsuit for a missing package just great. I walk to my office hoping to see him but he wasn't there, just as I was about to take a seat I received a call immediately, my phone was on silent through out the meeting so am not surprised someone is calling now the moment I switched it back on.

"Yes what's the problem?" I answered rudely, it was the home phone number and that's when it got me.

"Is Emma okay? Is she up yet? I panicked on the phone.

"Alright am on my way." I quickly ended the call and headed home.

I really hope she's okay and wait till I find out who did this to her I won't spare any one of them.

I drove like the wind just to see her and be sure she's really okay, I might not show it but I really care about her. I walk up straight to her room not even bothering to turn off the car throwing my car over to the security to park it well, I walk in and there she was finally awake.

"How are you feeling?'' I pause in my tracks trying not to look excited or hide my relief that she's okay.

"Sore but okay, did you seriously leave the office to come see me?" She smiled at me in a teasing way.

"What no?" I scratch the back of my head awkwardly, "have you eaten anything?" I decided to change the topic before we heard a voice which make us both stop.

"Is my baby feeling better now?" My Ma's voice was heard from the balcony downstairs.

"Can you walk?" I asked her just to be sure because I need to go and I didn't want to leave her.

"Yeah am not sick Jason just go." She brushes me off and I simply obeyed.

I went downstairs to meet my grandparents already headed to Emma's room, I greeted my grandma and turned to Pa who got the message and we went straight to the library room.

I take a sit just by the couch while he stood obviously waiting for me to say something but not today, I'll just watch him crack. I was watching him as he stood there nervously looking around before I finally decided to break the silence.

"Okay you look pathetic, I know you somehow know who's responsible for Emma's kidnaping and it's pretty low you're just standing there doing nothing." I said running my hands on the table.

"First of all you will show me respect am still your grandpa, and second you don't understand but what am doing is for your own good." He came at me shakily.

"Am not a child anymore and am sick and tired of everyone treating me like one so for the last time who is responsible for this?" I asked him seriously this time.

"She's your--, he suddenly started shaking before he slowly falls to the ground.

'You have got to be kidding me'

"You're so pathetic, did you seriously fake a heart attack?" I stand over by him angrily I walk out of the room not even to check if he's okay but making sure to send the physician to check up on him.

Not even stopping by Emma's room I walk out and drove straight to my dramatic girlfriend's house.
