Just In Time "LOVE TRIANGLE"

LUCY, I braced myself on the wall in the first phase of dizziness. The tears had already built up my eyes and I stubbornly held them back. I can't and won't let him see me cry. I kept on having a flashback of the time I entered this house till the minute I got in. I can still hear him. Yes, it's now very clear. ''Lucy, I need a break. I'm tired of this relationship. Please understand me, I don't love you anymore''. I replied okay, I didn't know whether it came from me or probably my ghost. I looked for my phone and called my best friend to come pick me up. Then they stirred into space while waiting for him. DANNY, As I told Lucy, the only woman I ever loved and still love that it's over between us, I felt like I was being butchered. Watching her expression gave it all away. Yes she doesn't love me. How can she behave like I didn't release a bomb right now? Then she made that call and I felt the first sting of jealousy. Oh! She finally called him right in front of my face. How shameless. I wished for death to come whisk me away because I was hurting so badly. MIKE, After Lucy hanged up, I knew instantly that something was wrong even though she sounded alright. I hurried up with what I was doing, picked up my car key and drove straight to the address she gave me. For the past 5 years now, I have hidden my feelings so well and have watched Lucy cry from one relationship to the other. Honestly, I have beaten two of the guys without Lucy knowing. Lucy has complained severely about my single status and has even volunteered to hook me up, but I quickly had to brush it aside. Lucy has been my secret crush for the past 8 years now. Ever since she met Danny, I knew right there and then that I had lost it at last. They were two people madly in love. As much as it pains me to admit, they look perfect together. As I got to the address she gave me, I stopped and gave her a call.... LUCY, I heard something ringing but I was already far away. I was deeply in thought. Who would believe that this will eventually happen? How can something feel so real and cruel at the same time? I felt someone tap me. Looking up, I saw Danny pointing at something. I forced myself back to reality. Lucy; yes, what's wrong? She gashed, trying really hard not to breakdown in front of him. Danny; pointing out again '' I said your phone was ringing''. Lucy, faking a smile. "Oh thanks". I clicked on the answer button and heard Mike from the other end informing me that he was already there. I stood up and bid Danny farewell, giving him a peck on the cheeks and made my way out. Immediately, I closed the door right behind me, I ran like someone was after my life. This time, I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. It was flowing down non stop. I kept on running without looking back. Mike, After the call, I saw Lucy running towards her like someone after her life. Before I knew what was happening, she ran into my arms and held me so tight. There she sobbed and I felt my heart shatter into tiny pieces that cannot be seen. I wanted to charge in there and deal with whom ever it was that made her cry. At this point, I could even kill for her sake. But I can't bear to leave her here to cry while I go and fight. No, I will take her home, make sure that she is alright before I come back for that motherfucker. Yes, with that, I held her tight but she had already stopped crying. I called her name. There was no answer. Lucy fainted in my arms. I swept her into my arms and hurried to where I packed my car across the road. After putting her in carefully, I went to the driver's seat and drove off to the nearest hospital at speed. Lucy, please hang in there, everything will be alright. I am sorry to have allowed you to suffer this much. I will write things this time. I will not let you experience pain again. Please hang in for my sake. I have loved you from day one. I'm sorry for taking this long... Danny, Immediately Lucy walked magistically out of my house. I followed her. I wanted to know whom it was she called. The new guy that has come to replace me. When I went out, I didn't see her back. It was as if she vanished into thin air. Oh! She is this happy to leave me. What a waste. I just wanted the ground to open and let me fall in. Instead, I left my door open and rushed outside just to be sure that she didn't disappear. You can probably say that I wanted to see things for myself. As I got closer, my heart stopped working the moment I saw Lucy in another man's embrace. How shameless. Jealousy stabbed me and left me with deep wide holes as I watched him cuddle her. I watched him rob her back, holding her so tight that I wondered if she could even breathe. I became blind in daylight. When I finally recovered in time to continue watching my little horrible bad horror movie, I saw him sweep her into his arms with panic written all over his face, rushed to his car and drove off. It hit me there and then that Lucy had fainted after crying her heart out and the young man who happened to be her best friend she told me about was only consoling her.. MIKE, I stopped the car the moment I drove into the hospital premesis and rushed to carry Lucy. As I listened for a heartbeat, it was as if she had stopped breathing. I frozed! No, this is not happening. Lucy, please don't live with me. I took her almost liveless body into my arms and started running into the hospital. I screamed for help the moment I got in. Someone please help, she is leaving me. I didn't know how much I had cried because when I woke up, my eyes were swollen, reddish and I had equally lost my voice. I tried to recall what really happened, the pains were really unbearable. I remember consoling Lucy, her fainting and driving her to the hospital and and! Maybe someone must have knocked me out. Oh no! I didn't know when a sound escaped my lips. It was Lucy's name that I called. Lucy! Lucy! Lucy! Please don't leave me. I tried to stand up but I couldn't. Then again that feeling overpowered me again and I went into a deep slumber with the last word Lucy echoing in my mind. TESSY, I went to the hospital to see my aunt, who was admitted to witness the whole heartbreaking drama. I watched my boss as he carried the one woman he told me he had loved for a very long time. Yes, he told me everything. I have seen and watched him cry countless times each time he sees her in pain. I can remember the very day I went to his house to give him a document he forgot because I saw him hurry off the company but when I got to his house I frozed at the sight in which I saw him. Not only was his gate open, his house too, and if not for his car I saw outside I would have thought that armed robbers broke into his house, so I carefully locked his gate and walked in to find him all messed up. I watched a full grown man as he groaned in pain. I felt a sting of tears. He looked tired with bruised fingers which I guess he got from punching something. Oh no! The wall. My boss was really punching the walls of his house. I quickly looked for something to clean and treat his wounds. Back to reality, I told the doctor to inject him with a sleeping drug, which they did, and carried Lucy to a ward where she was being taken care of. I couldn't bare to watch him hurt himself again, not after what I saw the last time. Later, the doctor told me that Lucy was okay, but in shock, I went to see her. She has leaned so much and doesn't seem to know that I was there. I watched her as she slept off, then crept out to go and see my boss. He was equally sleeping when I got to him. I decided to take a walk around and probably grab some fresh air. Just a few steps away from the entrance of the hospital building, I saw Daniel. What the hell is going on here? I shouted, waking him from his deep thoughts.
