“Leave him alone Pamela, do you want to kill him or you are ready to go to jail any time soon” Romeo said coming inside with Joyce and Annie.
“NO one can stop me from dealing with the person who tried to kill my sister”Pamela said angrily.
They all look puzzled.
“Where is she?” Joyce asked of Vicky.
“She is the theatre room, the doctors are attending to her” Mrs. Lane said.
“How does it happened?” Romeo asked henry uncertain of what Pamela said about Henry trying to kill Vicky.
Henry moved closer to Romeo.
“Romeo, I promised I didn’t do anything to her” Henry said and hugged Romeo tightly crying.
“I truth you completely, I just want to know how this happened so you can clear people doubt” Romeo said and cuddled him.
“I accept the fact that I cheated on her, I know she love me so much but I was unable to return the love she has for me, but I can never try to kill anyone” henry said crying.
Romeo steadily and slowly wipes his tears.
“You are a liar, I will make sure you rot in jail if anything happened to my daughter” Mrs. Lane said.
“Ma you shouldn’t be saying that, am very certain nothing will happen to Vicky, at least let listen to what he has to say. You are claiming he tried to kill your daughter. If yes, did you have an evidence against him? “Romeo asked.
“Keep quiet right now, how dare you speak to my mum in such manner “Pamela barked.
“I understand you pain, but that can never stop me from listening to what he has to say” Romeo said and face henry.
“I will tell you everything that happened” henry said and hold Romeo hand.
“Okay we are listening” Romeo said and use is hand to rub his cheek.
“Do you think he is a fool and wont cook up some lies in defense of himself” Pamela said crying.
“Hmm but at least try and be calming down” Romeo said.
Flashback
Henry was coming back from the counselor head office.
He looks angry and depressed.
He met Vicky on his way and pass by her without saying Hi.
Ever after the fight that happened between Vicky and Henry they are still talking to each other just because Vicky is not the type of girl that keeps grudges for a long period of time. She stopped.
“Henry” Vicky called surprised of his attitude.
“Don’t ever call my name again” Henry said and leave angrily.
“Why am I even calling him, after what he do to me, did he think I still love him. What am I saying I still love him but I don’t want to have any affair with him again, I only want him to be my friend nothing more” Vicky said to herself and hissed.
She continue walking. When she got to where she parked her car. She search her bagpack but couldn’t found her car key.
“Oh my goodness where did I drop my car key” she said to herself and remember she didn’t put it in her bag in the morning all because she is already late for class.
“I drop it in the class am such a big fool” she said to angrily herself thinking of how to go back to the class to get key.
“mitcheew” she hissed and went back to the class angrily.
She found henry alone crying.
“Henry why are you crying, what happened talk to me” Vicky said and rush to him.
Henry didn’t talk non look at her.
She hold him by his shoulder and brought his face to look at her.
“Don’t ever touch me again not even in your next life, you ruin my life and now you are pretending as if you care” Henry said and took her hand off his shoulder.
He stood up and was about to leave.
Vicky rush to his front and stop him for leaving.
“What is it that you are saying hmm, how can you said I ruined your life. You cheated on me and I still let that go and became your friend but you are here saying trash to me” Vicky said holding his shoulder.
“When you talk to me in the morning I was surprised that you could still talk to me after what happened, but I didn’t know you are doing that all because you wanted to punished me for what I did to you, you are DESPICABLE” Henry barked angrily.
“Are you crazy how you dare say that to me” Vicky shouted angrily and landed a slap on his face. He hold his cheek.
“This slap Is not up to the pain of getting rusticated from the school, where do you want me to start from what will I tell me my parent, they used all the hard earns money to see I came to school, so when I graduate and get a good job, I will be able to take good care of my younger siblings but you shattered that dream.
What do you want me to do with my life now” Henry thundered crying profusely.
Vicky look confused not able to digest what henry just said to her.
“RUSTICATED? I don’t understand what you are saying, can you please be clear with this because you are getting me more and more confused “She said.
“So you want to start pretending like you don’t know your mum asked the counselor to withdraw me from this school and you are here pretending you aren’t part of this” Henry said. She was so shocked to hear this.
“NO, NO, mum why will you do this I told you not to, but you didn’t listen to me” she said crying and sit on the floor.
Henry look confused.
“Isn’t she aware of this or is one of her tricks” henry thought to himself.
“NOOOOOO!! MUM, WHY? ” She shouted holding her ear.
“She looks real isn’t she part of this” Henry thought to himself.
Vicky stood up and started to run away.
“Vicky” henry called. She didn’t stopped non look back. Henry decided to follow her.
The next thing he saw was that she loose her balance due to the heel shoe she worn. She roll through the stairs. “VICKY!!!!!!”Henry shouted but it was too late has she is already down the stairs.
Henry ran to where she was lying “Vicky get up right now” he said holding her.
She was bleeding badly on the head.
“Am sorry henry” she said faintly and passed out.
“Vicky, don’t be sorry just get up right now” Henry said holding her head.
But she wasn’t responding. He try to carry her up but he couldn’t because he was reckless.
“I need to carry her to the hospital but I will I do that now, I can’t leave her here and why is anyone not coming. Is anyone there” he shouted and luckily for him guy showed up.
He carried her to his car and took her to the school hospital.
She was quickly admitted to the hospital.
“Do you know any of her family? They need to come her condition as worsen” the doctor said.
“Doctor please carry on with the treatment her mum will be here in no time” Henry assured the doctor even though he wasn’t sure on how to get Vicky family to the hospital.
“Okay just make it snappy we need to ask them for permission to move her to the theatre room” the doctor said.
“You should go I will stay here with her” the guy said to henry.
“Okay, doctor please make sure you don’t stop taking care of her, I will be back in a jiffy” henry said and went out of the hospital.
Henry went out of the hospital without knowing how to get In contact with her family.
An idea stuck him.
“Yes her phone, am sure her phone must be inside her bagpack” he said to himself and run as far as his leg could carry him to their class.
He found her bag in the place she kept it when he came into the class before the incident.
He quickly check it and luckily for him he found her phone.
“damnit” he shouted angrily when he saw it has password.
“Oh my goddess, how will I open it now” he thought.
He try using Pamela name but it didn’t work. He tried her mum and father name because Vicky ones told him their name. But he didn’t work.
He remembered he ones asked her what her password was.
“You can opened it anytime you wish to, because I saved it with the name of the person closer to my heart” Henry remember her replied that day.
“I already try all the people I knew she loved so much and none of them works.
He does some thinking.
The words you can opened it any time you wish to replay in his memory.
“Common I think this is a hint” he said hitting himself so hard.
He kept quiet and slowly input his name.]
He pressed the enter button and close it eyes, he opened his eyes stylishly and see his name worked.
He was so happy and went to her contact and saw that her mum has already called her more than five times.
He dialed the number and told her Vicky is in the school hospital. He went back to the hospital with Vicky bagpack.
“When he got there he was surprised to see that Vicky has been moved to the theatre room.
“You are surprised, her mum called some minute ago and threatened them, that if they didn’t start the treatment and anything happens to her daughter she will sue them to court, I guess her parent are very influential” the guy who helped them said.
“Yes her mum is an influential woman and thanks for your help. I am henry by name” he said and stretched his hand forward for a shake.
“Am Leo, am a student of this school but I based in playing cricket” Leo said and shake hand with him.
“Nice meeting you, you are really a God sent” Henry said.
“Is she your girlfriend or your sister because you seems to care about her very much?” Leo asked.
“Nope, just a close friend of mine” henry replied.
“WOW!!!” I must say you are very nice to care about your friend so much, I won’t mind if we are friends” Leo said.
“Not bad” henry said and they both hugged.
“Okay then, I have to go to practice now, I will come to check on her later, but atleast can I have your contact” Leo said.
“Why not” henry said and they both exchange contact.
“Bye” Leo said and waved a goodbye to him. Henry manage to smile at him and sit on the couch in the hospital.
End of flashback.
“I promised I can never do something disgusting like that” henry said crying.
“It’s okay you don’t need to worry she will be fine” Romeo said.
“Young guy who are you and how come you know my daughter?” Mrs. Lane asked.
“Am their senior in school and I know what the people I trained can do and cannot do. I both trained Vicky and her mate since there are studying my course” Romeo replied.
“But Vicky never talk about you to me” Mrs. Lane said.
“Yes that’s because you are too busy for her. She told me about you” Romeo said and see a doctor coming out of the ward.
He rushed to him.
“Doctor how is she” he asked.
Everyone also rushed to me the doctor.
“Doctor tell me how my daughter is doing” Mrs. Lane said. “Ma the thing is” the doctor clear is throat.
