DREAM OR REBIRTH
Betty pov My vision blurred as I was dragged on the cold hard marble floor. "Quickly wipe off her blood off the floor" a gruff voice bellowed What's going on, I tried to struggle against the tight grip but my wrist burned as the thin ropes dug into my skin. "Boss, I think she's awake" "Blindfold her and toss her into the back of the truck". My ears were ringing so badly, the truck's sharp movements were making my body hit all sorts of things, the air thick with the stench of mold and decay making my stomach churn with nausea. After a while, the truck came into a halt "Help me" I managed to croak out, the two mismatched pace made me realize there were two men, I was heaved over onto a shoulder, the long walk was crowing with crickets chants.I was dropped on the moss ground "Where's the money you promised" "Here" Wait that's Ella's voice, what is she doing here "Ella, please this is a misunderstanding", I cried out. The sound of her voice that once sounded like comfort in my ear, now cuts like a knife, echoing in my mind like a death sentence "Bury her alive, she's useless right now, Let's go honey" her steps receded into the night "You sure, I mean it's just...." I heard a Young male voice complain "Shut up Lucy, this is the only way we're going to pay Mama's bill" "All right boys, dig her up" Ella chuckled Thrown in the soft sandy ground tied up, dirt poured in me, suffocating me like a waterfall, each grain tiny weight crushing me. I tried gasping for air, but it was like breathing through a straw, the oxygen dwindling with each panicked inhale. The darkness wrapped around me like a shroud. Ah I see, so this is the end, first mom and dad, I failed to check up on Casper too. I couldn't save either of them. I failed as a daughter "Betty Betty, come on wake up" My eyes fluttered open, the first thing I saw was my mother's face standing in front of me, "you're such a deep sleeper, even on your wedding day" her voice sounded like a sharp knife "My what ?" My mother looked at me, "tell me you're joking, have you lost your mind" she said calmly. Tess, the family maid rushed into the room, "ma'am the church is calling" "Betty,you better hurry up and take a bath or I will wash you up myself" my mother practically tossed me out of bed, everything was happening so fast. Am I in heaven?. I don't understand I was just buried moments ago....my memories rushed in, crashing into one another "Tess, what's today's date" I asked "15th of December ma'am" "Your wedding day betty" my mother's voice interfered, "what's wrong with you" "Ah, I'm sorry mother" I rushed back into the bathroom. There was only one way to make sense of all this, I returned back in time my heart pounded in joy, I can finally fix my mistakes. Ella, the thought of her made my mood sour, she was my best friend, the best thing that ever happened to me, I couldn't understand the reason why she would want me dead, I sneaked out of the room. I need to find shawn, I remember well we lodged into the same hotel, my bare feet waddled on the floor as my eyes scanned the hallway. I think it was room 206, I approached the door only to be stopped by the hushed giggles that echoed through the door, I slowly turned the knob searching for a familiar face of my fiance. The scent of betrayal hung heavy in my chest. shawn, my husband was entwined with my best friend, their bodies tangled between the messy sheets. They were so mesmerized with each other, Shawn's eyes had never glimmered when he looked at me, they didn't notice my presence. A loud sob threatened to slip out of my mouth as I tried to hurriedly flee the heart stabbing scene but my legs felt like lead, heavy and uncoordinated as if rooted to the spot. I couldn't bear to watch them both, I managed to slip back into my room. "I thought I told you to take your bath young lady" my mother scolded me "I'm not going" my voice trembled like a leaf barely audible over the sound of my own ragged breath. "What did you say" her icy gaze told me she wasn't for joking, shocked by my refusal. I was the gentle, obedient child in my family. I obliged to everything my parents wanted. Mom sighed, "Betty, whatever it is can wait after the wedding, we spent millions and months planning" she moved closer to where I stood, my jaws clenched biting back every vile word was about to spit out, her fingers brushed away my dirty blond hair from my face. "Mother, please no" I begged so dearly "Betty" she snapped, "you don't want to embarrass your father in front of countless investors, this is the wedding of the century and you must behave yourself" Tears welled up in my eyes, she won't understand, surviving a loveless marriage and enduring the shameful betrayal in my past life , i don't want it to happen again but my mother strong will to get me married at all costs won't change anything "Yes mother" I swallowed every bitter word that threatened to spill out. "That's my girl, now move your ass to the tub" It took about an hour to be dolled up, a perfect bride from a wealthy family, Shawn just hit the jackpot, a gentle knock startled us, "I guessing Shawn is here" my mother rose from her vanity space to be greeted by this gold digger "Where's my brideeee" he sang, his voice had this cloying enthusiasm that made my skin claw. His dark hair, styles perfectly to accentuate his forest green blazers. "Oh, in a minute" my mother replied greeting him with a gleeful grin, I stared at the lavish wedding dress prepared for me, every bride should be happy on her wedding day, I couldn't marry this man to start all this drama again would rip my soul apart We moved to the Church where the wedding was to take place, my gaze fell on Ella, who was dressed in a white skimpy dress different from what was supposed to be a peach colour dress that I picked for the bridesmaids. Ah, I remember this moment, Ella ruined my wedding dress and made herself the center of attention. "Bestie"Ella rushed over, "I'm so happy for my bestie" she ogled the dress I wore."Oh...they missed a button right there" Here goes nothing, I evaded her touch as she tried to approach me, she was going to smear red lip gloss and pretend it was an accident. In my past life, I had to change into a simple rose dress that was meant for our wedding party "there's no need ella" I took a few steps away from her, "I'll look for someone else's to adjust it"
