The Love Of Life

Chapter Five, Out Betrayers!!!

Cara’s point of view

I was nearly home that I heard hurried whispers from the inside, then there was a telephone ringing and a half-scream from there. I put the key in the lock. My heart was beating like a horse. My body temperature was high and my hands were icy. I opened the door silently. The pulse in my ear was hearable. And that was the time when……………………………………..

When I found Jack and my sister, Kerr on the couch. Jack was lying next to her and they were sleeping in a way……………………………………....

In a way…………………………………………………………………...

In a way that explained exactly what was on. A tear climbed down my chick and my temple began to ache. How could they do that???

‘What the hell are you two doing?’

They were hurried as they hadn’t notice my presence.

‘I can explain, sweetie. It is not like what it seems.’ Jack was massaging his temple.

‘So what is it like?’ I said in aggression. He was on my nerves. They both were.

Kerr took her shirt from the floor to wear it and jack got up in one movement.

‘I can explain.’ Kerr was still silent.

‘Oh, really? Now, both of you! Get outta my shitty house. Fast!'

Kerr seemed terrified. ‘Where am I going to live?’ She wasn’t sorry about what she has just done. She was worried about where she was going to live...

‘Somewhere where betrayers do live.’ She was about to say something when I interrupted pointing at the open door. ‘Both of you! Now!’ I screamed these last four words. Kerr first went out. I felt pity as she was half-naked; but this was the way things went, hard. And I would make their lives as tough for them as they made it for me.

‘I was talking to you, too.’ I turned to Jack. The fiance who cheated on me with my only sister.

‘Look honey.’ His hand came to touch my face but I stopped him with slapping his hand. But he was still trying to fix his mistake.  

‘Don’t say more, or I’ll kill you right away. Leave my house, now!’

Yes, it was mine… When there is no loyalty in one side, there is no on the other too...

‘Okay, but you cannot break up with me that easily. Remember; nobody loves you as I do and you are engaged to me.’

I bit him with my bag and took him to the door pulling his left ear and then shut the door behind.

I totally forgot about the whole event when I remembered something.

Where was Mom?

I required myself why they did that in the presence of Mom. And if she is out, how could she be out on her own as she is too ill?

I walked to her room. The door was open and there was a sound of shower. In the middle of the room I reassured myself that she was just taking a shower. But when something damped my toe, I got too anxious I forgot about Kerr and Jack. The room was dark. I couldn’t see what the liquid was. So I went to the bathroom door and called her. But there was no reply. I got my heartbeat again. It was apparently like I could feel nothing good that day.

I opened the bathroom door. And there she was. In the light of sunset which came through the window; naked and covered with blood sitting on the edge of the bathroom. Water was flowing from the shower into the tube. There was a bloody blade in her left hand and her right hand was the source of the so much blood. I let out a cry.

‘Mom, mom, talk to me. Please…. Mom, please.’ Now I was sitting next to her body. But she was completely unconscious and couldn’t reply. I put an arm around her. Grabbed her in my arms. She was so light after her deadly illness. I didn’t know where I wanted to take her but I wanted to have her in my arms. Tears were pouring on her bloody face.

I didn’t know what I was doing; so aimlessly passed the living room. I felt too sorry that I couldn’t even give my mom what she deserved. I was responsible and I knew better than anyone else that I was going to pay for that. The room was shaking around me as the tears fell down my peace-less face. I should have known that this would occur to me once. All I had ever given every one was trust, but all they had given me was not even a little care to my ill mom.

The ambulance was soon in front of the door. A woman –maybe a nurse- took her to the van by a bra card. Now it was raining and her blood was pouring just as the winds made the rain, several sounds were moving in my ear. I took a cab and as I got to the hospital, hurried to the emergency section. A man in a doctor’s cloths took my hand. I turned to him and that was the last words I heard,

‘Sorry…’

 And then I passed out.

Some light was shone in to my eyes. The world was turning around me and soon in some kind of dream I didn’t know, I found myself running in a vacant hallway. The air was heavy; the serum heavier. There was a voice in my head, maybe my mother’s. And that was the time I remembered everything. She was gone and that was all over. A drop made my face a bit damp. I could feel this.

Suddenly someone shook me out of the scenery.

‘Hey look who is there,’ said Mona with a sad smile (We had known each other for years) as I was wearing my funeral dress. I nagged a bit. The zipper didn’t go up and day mares were killing me. She helped me with my zipper and when I turned to see my visitor, I let out a cry.

‘Tell him to leave, NOW.’ Jack was standing there as proud as ever.

‘Keep your voice down, he is here for you.’

‘Sweet, ain’t it the betrayer?’ My voice was getting louder after every word.
