Chapter 24 - Done
Noah Clayton
It's been a week since Jaclyn left. We called each other everynight and she said she will comeback tomorrow. I miss her already and it's killing me. I want to see her as soon as I can. Hospital has been busy as ever and I need to charge myself.
Jaclyn's dad actually invited me for dinner yesterday and he told me that he's happy that Jaclyn ended up with me. He told me about her car crash 4 years ago that made her family member almost die in shock with the news.
He was actually told me that he's always been worried about Jaclyn. She's not easy to tame because how stubborn and persistent she is. It was hard for him to handle and he told me about his wife who's the only person who can handle her really well.
Despite being a triplet, she's the most different out of her siblings. She knew that she's the daughter or Jose Rae and her family is hella rich to begin with. She knew that she's beautiful and attractive that's why her dad worried about her the most.
He and my dad were good friends and that's why they came out with the arrangement. I'm glad that we got together because I'm not complaining with anything about her.
I just got out from doing a surgery and decided to walk to my office. It's almost 11 p.m and I'm thinking.. I'm going home today. I changed my scrubs into my casual clothes. I put my scrubs into the laundry basket so the nurse next morning could gather it and have it clean the next day.
I walked out from my office and I bumped into my friend, Newton, who is a pediatrician.
"Going home?" He asked as I nodded.
"I envy you, I want to go home too." He sighed sadly and I chuckled. I patted his shoulder and he glared at me. "I bet you will have a great time with your girlfriend tonight."
"She will comeback tomorrow so.. not tonight."
"Tomorrow?" Newton looked at me confuse and I raised my eyebrows because his asking tone was a little bit weird.
"I saw your girlfriend earlier."
"What do you mean? She's coming back from Seattle tomorrow." I said because she might mistaken someone else as Jaclyn.
"No, I just got back from the airport about an hour ago to pick my little sister and I saw her. Everyone knows who Jaclyn Rae is and even my little sister saw her." Suddenly my heart was beating fast, I thanked Newton for letting me know about it.
My anger rised up but not only that, my heart was racing so fast predicting something that might give me an instant heart attack. I took out my phone out from my pocket and dialed her phone number right away.
It led me straight to the voicemail.
I immediately called her dad because we seriously need to prevent this before anything bad happens. Her dad picked up right away. "Jose, I think.. Jaclyn is back in town."
"Huh? That's impossible, I checked that she's still in Seattle." Her dad said and it's obvious that he's confused.
"No.. my friend just saw her at the airport around an hour ago. I think she's going to race." I said predicting it fast and I can tell that Jose was in shock too judging but his fast breathing pattern.
"I'll let Jace and Jayson know right away. I will give you her racing address.. we'll get in contact." He said as he ended the call. I was stressing out but I quickly drove my car back to my penthouse to see if she's here because she might surprise me but no.
My prediction was right.
I got a text message from Jose the address of her racing place. I quickly got back into my car and drove towards the place where she race. I was more than shocked and felt betrayed by her.
I drove really fast because I was so afraid that something might happen to her. My heart was racing so fast that I felt it might stop soon. I was so scared if something bad might happen to her. I saw her condition 8 weeks ago and I don't even know what if I see her in that condition again.
I saw Jace's car parked at the address that Jose gave me. He just got there and I quickly got out from my car following him. I saw a car parked near us and it's Jayson along with Jose. My body was shaking, my heart was racing and I was more that terrified to know that she might be here.
We walked inside and there's a lot of people cheering. We saw 3 cars currently racing and bumping to each other on the track. "Come with me." Jace poked me and I quickly followed him. He led me to the place where all the racers gathered.
My phone rang and it's Jose. I quickly picked the call and stopped Jace. "She's in the black car." I felt my heart drop to the ground that second. I turned my attention to the racing track looking at the black car who's completely driving in the high speed.
Jace took my phone and talked to his dad. Jace pulled me towards the starting line. He gave me back my phone and I followed him as I kept my head straight trying to process everything quickly.
"You!" Jace suddenly grabbed someone's collar.
"Shit!" That guy immediately knew who Jace is. Jace pinned him to the nearest wall and punched him. I was confused and I found my surrounding was filled with people betting on the racer.
My anger rised up and I turned to the board to see how many laps she have left. She still have 2 laps left and I kept my eyes on her car. She was good and there's no denying it. She has skills but still it's a dangerous race.
People were cheering on their last round. My heart felt so weird all of the sudden and I saw Jace stood beside me. He was looking at Jaclyn like I did and we were both so tense in this situation.
When her car reached the finish line, everyone cheered for her. Her car stopped and people were rushing towards her in happiness because she won. Jace immediately pushed people out of his way.
I was disappointed at her. It was a really dangerous race. They bumped each other and she even had to make a sharp turn which can cause a really bad car crash if she's not smart enough. I found myself backing out from the crowd.
I couldn't handle the emotions within me. This is just as worst as seeing my little sister having complications in front of my eyes. I was more than overwhelmed with the situation and it was pretty clear to me that she still doesn't care about her life.
I walked back to my car and turned off my phone. I really don't want to talk to her again. Especially after seeing her racing with my own eyes.
I'm done.
