The Magical Alpha's Forbidden Mate

THE ACCIDENT

The drive home was quiet neither me nor Andy spoke a word although I did try to find out what the problem is and why he is mad, but all he said was “just leave it.” So I did.

Why does it feel like I am losing control of my life? I had everything planned out I even know what my wedding will be like one day.

‘my wedding’ I thought sarcastically and smiled to myself. The way things are going I won’t be having my happy ever after.

I looked over at Andy and he still has the same stiff posture and his knuckles are white from gripping the steering wheel I look up into his face and he loons tense like he is biting on his teeth or something. I just sighted and turned back towards the window.

“so who was he?” Andy finally asked, but his tone is distant and indifferent. I looked over at him and said, “his name is Damien and that is all I got.” I looked at him and it finally hit me, “is that why everyone is mad at me because I asked the guy his name?”

I turned my body so that I can look at Andy without straining my neck.

“you changed when you were with him, I can’t explain it, but it’s like you became a completely different person I mean the Anna I know and the Anna I fell in love with would never speak to anyone like that no matter what their name is.” Andy said and I looked down, “if I tell you something would you believe me?” I asked and waited anxiously for his reply.

“is this is about the voice you keep hearing and the dream you had?” Andy asked.

“yes, and no. I know you don’t believe me and I don’t blame you because I really do sound crazy, but I am telling you this is all connected to something. I mean why did everything bad started to happen after I had the dream? And now this guy shows up out of nowhere and he said something that makes no sense and I am honestly scared Andy, that’s it I’m scared.” I said finally allowing myself to feel and to be scared. I always put on a brave face, but I can’t tonight. Andy looked over at me and said, “what did the guy say?”

He said that, “when you are close to me the mask and cloak you put on as pretence falls off revealing your true self. Or something like that.”

“this guy is getting in your head, are you sure you have never seen him?” Andy asked half unsure and half accusing.

“don’t you think I would have told you if I did?”

“no Anna I don’t believe you would have. I just feel that you are keeping secrets and I don’t like it.” Andy said and I was taken aback. I just stared at him feeling my eyes tear up. I turned in my seat and just stared at the road.

When we got home I went straight up to my room walking past Jessy and Andrew and ignoring both of them. ‘no one believes me, and now Andy doesn’t trust me.’

I walk into my room and closed the door locking it and standing against for a second. I stopped holding the tears back and just let them out.

As I stood there I unzipped the dress and let it fall to the floor. I bent and picked it up throwing on the bed. I got some make-up remover and removed the make-up from my face and the tears. When I was sure it’s off I walked into the bathroom and took a hot shower washing the night away. When I was done I wrapped myself in a fluffy white towel and walked into my room.

“Anna open the door.” I heard Jessy’s voice.

“I don’t want to talk to any of you seeing as no one believes me and now I’m a secretive person.” I said and got out my PJ’s.

“no one ever said that, and if Andy said that you have to take it up with him.”

“it doesn’t matter Jessy. You are angry at me too and you don’t even want to tell me why.” I said and I could feel the tears building up again.

“just open the door so we can talk without me having to shout please.”

I walked over to the door and asked, “are you alone?”

“yes. Just open the door Anna.”

I unlocked the door and Jessy came in. she looks even worse than me. I took in her appearance and saw that she has been crying. “why were you crying?” I asked and she just looked at me. she exhaled loudly and said, “I hate fighting with you Anna, you are my best friend, but I honestly don’t know you anymore. It’s like you’ve changed. And tonight with that guy and the way you spoke to Dominique I’ve never heard you speak like that to anyone before and the worst part was you didn’t even feel bad.” Jessy said and sat down on the bed.

“what if this is me Jess, the real me?” I said and looked down at my hands. “I am so tired of always being nice and being considerate when no one ever thinks about my feelings I mean aren’t you tired of not being able to stand up for yourself?” I said and Jessy’s head snapped up.

“no Anna, because at the end of the day you would be exactly like those you stand up too. Is that what you want?”

“no of course not, I’m just tired of keeping quiet and being the better person.”

“well it’s a small price to pay for staying a good person Anna.”

“what? So being afraid to speak my mind, or say what I feel or even stand up to those who bully me is ganna make me a bad person?”

Jessy got up from the bed and walked over to me, “that is not what I meant Anna and you know it.”

“no Jess I don’t know, but please why don’t you just say what you really want to say?”

Jessy looked at me and said, “fine, I don’t like the person I saw you to be tonight. I don’t like the fact that you danced with some guy while Andy was there with you, I don’t like the attitude you are getting, and I don’t like the fact that you just brushed us off to talk to that guy. We all saw how you changed and how you acted. It was like we didn’t even exist.”

I stared at Jessy open mouthed and I had nothing to say. I walked over to my closet and got some shorts and a jacket, I put on my sneakers and walked out of the room.

“where are you going?” Jessy asked from behind me.

“to walk my attitude off and no I don’t want company.” I said and walked out of the house.

The further I got from the house the harder it became for me to keep my tears in. I saw headlights coming from behind me so I moved out of the way and it was like the car sped up and before I knew I was lying on the side of the road feeling numb.

“you really shouldn’t walk in the middle of the road.” I hear someone say and I had no idea who. I tried moving my head, but I couldn’t.

“what the hell are you?” I heard the same guy ask and now there were two voices, “your worst nightmare.” The other voice said and I could hear screaming.

I tried keeping my eyes open, but it became all that more difficult. ‘please I don’t want to die.’ I thought and just then I heard a girl screaming. “no, no, no, no, Anna. Ohh God no Anna Stay with me. somebody call an ambulance.”

“Anna please stay with me.” I heard Jessy’s voice and smiled. “I’m sorry.” I said and closed my eyes not being able to keep them open.

when Anna left the room I was standing there speechless. She has never done this and we’ve never had a fight before. I sat back down on her bed and after a while decided to go after her. she isn’t in her right mind, I swear that punch was spiked or something, because Anna would never act like this. I walked past Andy and said, “I’m ganna look for her.” and I left. I stood wondering which way she went left or right, left is school right is a park. I decided to go right because she would most likely be at the park then at school. I walked for a while and then I saw a car in the middle of the road with the driver’s door open. I slowed down a bit and waited to see if anyone gets out, but no one did.

I walked closer and my heart stopped, the first thing I saw was fiery red hair and then I saw the body.

“no, no, no, no, Anna. Ohh God no Anna stay with me.” I shouted as I ran and fell next to her body. “someone call an ambulance.” I shouted when I saw all the blood pooling around her. “I’m sorry.” Was all she said before she closed her eyes.”

I was too scared to move her body instead I shouted at the top of my lungs, “somebody call an ambulance.” I saw multiple lights go on in multiple houses.

An older couple came out, “ohh my.” The woman said and the man ran back inside and came out with the phone to his ear.

“Anna please stay with me.” I cried and started praying.

I looked down at her body and saw that her leg is twisted in a funny way, most probably broken and her arm is twisted under her. I looked over at the car and there is no one in sight. Whoever owns that car is long gone.

“the ambulance is coming.” The older man said and handed me a jacket. “throw it over her it’ll keep her warm.” I did as he said and I couldn’t even see as the tears kept running down my face.

The Ambulance arrived a few minutes later and I was asked to move as they got to work. I took out my phone and dialled Andy’s number. He picked up after the third ring.

“A… An… Andy Anna… s… she…”

“calm down Jess I can’t understand you.” I tried taking a deep breath and just ended up crying harder.

“where are you?” came Andy’s voice and he sounds worried.

I walked over to the older man and handed him my phone. “please tell my brother where we are.” I said and it’s a wonder the man understood me. the woman came to me and hugged me. I threw my arms around her and sobbed on her shoulder while she rubs small circles on my back.”

When I calmed down a bit I let go of the woman and she smiled at me. the man handed me back my phone and said Andy would be here soon. I thanked them and looked over at the ambulance while they are lifting Anna in. a female approached me and asked if I want to go with to the hospital. I asked the man to just tell Andy I went to the hospital with Anna and I will meet him there and I left.

The ride was silent for me at least, Anna was being hooked up to IV drips and two people were working over her talking very high word I don’t understand except one thing, “her heartbeat is dropping.” The lady said to the man and the Ambulance sped up.

Ten minutes later we arrived at the hospital and they ran in with her.

Doctors met them at the door taking over while talking.

I just stood there watching and I couldn’t feel anything anymore as numbness took over my body. Like a zombie I watched them take her away and through double doors.

“miss are you okay?” I heard someone ask and looked up. I stared into a concerned face with warm brown eyes. Just then Andy came running in, I saw him but he didn’t see me.

I slowly walked over to him and touched his shoulder, when I looked down at my hand there was blood on it. Andy spun around and looked at me. “OMG Jessy.” He said and pulled me into a hug. Silent tears rolled down my cheek and I hugged him back.

Andy pulled me to a chair and made me sit down. “what happened?” he asked and I could see he has been crying.

“I… I… I don’t know. I was too late.” I said and tears were streaming down my face again.

“you weren’t you were just in time.” Andy said trying to make me feel better and it’s not working.

“it’s all my fault.” I said and laid my head in my hands.

Andy was saying sweet nothings to me and I didn’t hear any of it. ‘if I hadn’t been so adamant on going into the room this would have never happened’ I thought and started to sob harder. I felt a sting in my arm and looked over at the same woman who spoke to me before. “you will feel better soon.” She said and the world went black.
