The beeping sound of the machine next to a cold body was loud as muffled voices could be heard in the background
" So what are you trying to say doctor?" " You brought her in too late , am sorry but she's gone "
" Doctor you're joking right? !!! What do you mean my baby is gone what?!! " The elderly man shook the doctor so hard that one watching from afar would feel pity for the young doctor who was only doing his best. The whole hospital room was quite as every one watched as the nurse covered her with a cloth
Few hours earlier
Blood splattered around as Seven choked on her own blood, struggling for breath as she no longer wanted to die . She coughed harder and harder as the blood gushed, trying to scream for help but to no avail she was the only one home . Remembering her phone which she left in her room upstairs she staggered upstairs. Falling in the ground she crawled towards her balcony where she left her phone, her eyes became dizzy as she began seeing red and colours. The face of a man mocking her could be seen and her life events played before her eyes
' is this what death feels like ? '
She questioned herself. Nearing the door of her balcony she managed to get it open. Her phone could be seen on a table alongside her school books which she had earlier planned on reading. Using all the strength in her , her blood stained hand finally reached out to her phone as she dialed the first person on her call log , which happened to be the last person that called her .
Daddy
picking on the 3rd ring
" Hello,Seven what's the problem I'm kind of busy." Even on her dying breath she still felt like a burden. Tears flowed down her eyes as words couldn't form. She was swimming in her own blood . Coughing out loud she silently closed her eyelids as they felt too Heavy .
" Hello seven what is it " the voice at the other end asked in a tone of worry but there was silence.
" Seven you called, are you alright?, Seven!!! ..Seven ...You know what I'm on my way home ." The beep signaled the termination of the call...
Rushing home Mr Chike called his wife to rush home as something was off with their daughter, she never called without speaking Something was either wrong or she was playing a prank on them. Madam Aduke was also called.
Finally reaching his compound he rushed in to meet the crying face of the house keeper.
" What's going on ?" But the house keepers face remained down a sorrowful look on it .
" Am talking to you !! , where's my daughter?... where's Seven?.."
Not able to stand the silence of the house keeper he rushed upstairs to his daughter's room only too meet the terrifying sight of his own daughters body lying lifelessly in her own blood...
The family and friends of Seven all waited outside of the hospital room as they waited for the doctor who was assigned as they rushed her in, All downcast and lost in thoughts. finally the room door opened and the doctor stepped out all family friends rushed him expectantly. Playing dumb to their gaze they left him aside and ran into the emergency room...
Presently
The cries of the mother who just returned after the call from her husband could be heard. And of her friend Tife ,the dad and madam Aduke ,as other loved ones tried to console them . Nobody knew the cause of her death or how she died .
