• Chapter Two •
As I noticed Mr. Harris, I opened the locked door and slowly stepped out. My long blue dress flashed along the hard floor and my shades sat neatly on the top of my head. The birds sung and the sun blinded me. My heart started to beat. Beating faster than it ever has. I don't know why though. I explained everything to Mr. Harris and in the end, he hugged me. He held me tight and I don't know why but I felt a connection. A warm connection. I felt like it was a way of my heart trying to tell me something. The overwhelming feeling caused my head to start aching and my body to become numb. Suddenly the scenes flashed before my eyes and everything faded away.
______________
"Carly? Carly you up? Doctor! Doctor please come quickly!" A voice struck at me and the sharp tone hit me in the head. My tightly shut eyes whined to be opened and slowly I fulfilled its wish. I gazed around to see a large, white room with no one but a tall man. He had an extremely familiar figure but I couldn't make out who it was due to the face being invisible. As I heard two nurses barging into the room, the tall figure turned to look at me. My eyes met with deep blue ocean eyes and I couldn't help but notice the cute smile. The sparkle caused me to blush but as memories started to cause a flood in my brain, my head started having huge pains along the temples. The muscles started to clench and rub together and my head started to beat faster.
"Doctor! Look! Her heartbeats decreasing extremely quickly!" A calming yet worried voice alerted.
I slowly closed my eyes and saw random scenes flashing through my eyes. Each scene was different but all were bright. They hurt my eyes and caused my head to cry. In these scenes, I noticed that tall figure there. I saw us talking. Talking in an office. But now I remembered us talking again. But not in the office. This time, we were outside. In a car. My car. As I recalled everything, the scenes resulted in a black screen and I fell asleep without ease.
I woke up in a huge bed with a young man sitting besides me. I noticed that I wasn't in my own house and that mum, dad and another lady was standing there as well. The room consisted of one large double bed and antique furniture. There was a wooden wardrobe which brushed it's side against the brown cupboard. I looked to my right and noticed a gray table and saw a cup of water. I had the urge to drink water so I slowly lifted my head up from the cloud and dark some then interrogated my mum.
"Mum, where am I? Who is that lady and that boy?" I questioned, pointing towards the young fella and the middle aged women.
My father explained who they were to me and my heart started to race as I remembered everything. My head started to burn and my eyes looked into different scenes. And that moment I remembered everything. I was in my car talking to Mr. Harris then as I started to cry he hugged me causing my heart to feel distress and everything went black. After that, I woke up in a hospital and again it happened. And now here I am looking at my future husband. A noise disturbed my thoughts and the lady ran towards the front door. It was Mr. Harris. He came in the room and looked down at me on the bed. His brown hair covered an eye but his bangs allowed one to be revealed to me. The blue shirt was buttoned up halfway then stopped- revealing his fair chest. He asked me about my health and how I was feeling and I just muttered under my breath. Randomly, I stood up in anger and started screaming at everyone.
"Charlie broke up with me! I can't believe he could do that. He left me after three months of being with each other. And now I have this weird spark that pops up out of no where every time I see this other guy. He is the reason for my black out. But I can't just blame him like that. He didn't do it on purpose. He cares for me just like I care for him. If it wasn't for him, my life would have been over today. But then another guy has entered my life. This stupid guy called Jim Role has decided to marry me! How am I supposed to marry you if I don't love you? I love him and him only!" I screamed across the room so that everyone could hear.
"Who's him?" Mr. Harris asked in complete confusion.
In unison me and my mum stated
" you..."
Jim and his mother both looked at me -shocked. Jim assured me.
"Don't worry, Carly. I don't even know you so I wasn't even agreeing to the marriage. I know you even disagreed with it. I think now, you can say... You have me and Charlie out of your life and all you have left is Mr. Harris. So the best option is...go. Go and get married to him." My jaw dropped the minute he said that.
Everyone looked at me and Mr. Harris came closer to me.
"What do you say? Will you marry me?" He knealt down with an open book that displayed a gorgeous silver diamond ring that sparkled. I was speechless. A light lit up in his eyes as he looked at me. I bit my lip and looked down, blushing, to notice his beautiful trousers that were covering muscular legs. The room was filled with silence and everyone was paranoid - waiting to hear my answer, they became desperate. The sound of the wind blowing, rain pattering and footsteps pounding, allowed my head to rest and think of all the things that would happen by getting married to Noel. The cold breeze snapped me out of my thoughts and pushed me back into reality. At last, with a deep breath, I bravely gave my answer forward.
"I'm sorry but...I can't... I'm not ready for this. It's all moving to fast and it's just too much to handle..." I finally stammered. My heart at rest when I finally spoke out the truth.
Everyone looked at me; but not Noel. In fact, he looked down. I could see in his eyes that he was hurt. I understood that I just gave him pain. A sharp knife jabbed him in the heart. Guilt filled me and I grabbed the box and get it placed it onto the bed. I touched his hands and used it as support to kneel down. His hands were as soft as a feather but still had those rough spots which defined his masculinity. I looked down and quietly raised my voice.
"I'm...sorry. I know how much pain I have caused you and I'm extremely sorry for that. I didnt mean to jab you with the knife. I should habe just grabbed the cushion but I was being stupid. I'm really sorry but I'm just not ready. It's all going way too fast for me and I can't keep up with anything. But I want you to know... I lo..." Before I could continue, he stopped me. His fingers shutting my mouth closed. Lost, I looked at him worriedly.
"Stop. Please just stop." He stood up and looked backwards but kept his sharp gaze towards the floor.
"It's fine...Go on without me. I was planning on leaving anyway. I have a party to attend tonight...Goodbye everyone." And with that, he left.
I was so confused. Why did he stop me from saying those last three words. Doesn't he lo...no. It can't be! Thoughts started to race in my mind and my head started to ache.
I got up and went to wash my face. I looked into my dark eyes in the reflecting mirror and noticed eye bags. I was hungry, tired and confused. Everything went by so fast today. I just need the bed.
I walked back into the room but no one was there. A fluffy pink gown caught my eye so I put it on to stop me from freezing. Quickly, I closed the window then walked down the wooden stairs. They creaked as I stepped down. I gazed at the antique furniture which later across the house. The ragged sofa was squished between an old table on it's left and a tall stool on its right.
Everyone was in the dinning hall. I walked along the glass floor and sat on the gorgeous chairs. My hair flowed along the arms of the chair as I started munching the hot lasagne inaudibly. I finished and yawned from tiredness. I wanted to go to bed. Noel's mum requested us to stay but I denied. It would have been awkward after what happened today. I got up and replaced the fuzzy layer with a cold jacket. I shuddered as I wore it.
We walked out the door and mum walked towards her beauteous, blue BMW with dad and I walked to my lovely, long Lamborghini. I drove slowly in the dark night with my headlights shining directly at the road.
Thoughts scrambled their way though my mind and started to overlap each other. Rain trickled down my car causing my windows to become wet. My vision was blured as my window sweeper wasn't working. I had to get that fixed soon. Luckily, the road was empty.
Soon, I reached my tree covered house. I parked my car and stepped out. The cold breeze hit me as I walked tiredly towards the house.
I entered the frigid, empty house and put my keys onto the hook and walked up to my room. I fell onto my bed and without a single thought, I drifted off into a deep trance. I dreamt about my day, my provlems and I was left with an answer. If it wasn't for her none if this would've happened.
