I’m Dedicated To You

I looked at the different headlines that were scattered through the internet and my body shivered in fear.

Nothing has ever scared me this much but the realization that this actually might be true scared me so much, where did I go from here? what has gone wrong for everything to be falling apart?…

“GG what’s going on?”

“Gina, can you hear me?” I heard voices asking me but it felt distant and I was not processing it. “What’s wrong with her?”.

I hear different voices hovering around me but I can’t wrap my head around what they are saying. I just kept staring into space because my brain is just not processing what exactly is happening but I immediately snapped back into my senses.

“Just because it’s from Ball City does not mean it has to be his flight,” I mutter slowly assuring myself and picking my phone up to call Olivia back but I was faced with Bernard and the rest of the crew.

“Are you okay? why are you crying?”Bernard says, extending his hand to my face but I dodged it and I wondered how I did not notice that I was crying.

“I’m fine I just want to go home,” I say facing Kira. I decided to pick up my bag that was on the table but I was not able to grab it even though it was on the table and I noticed the people around me looked at me weirdly wondering why I was acting that way.

I tried to steady my breathing and reach out for it again but it was still the same. “Why is it out of my reach even though I am staring at it like this?”I thought. I sigh loudly trying to reach out to it again but before I could do that James placed it in my hand.

“Seems like you are in a hurry then you should go now,” he says and I nodded my head at him hurriedly rushing out of the place.

“What was that?”some people started gossiping among themselves after Georgina vacated the place but some people already noticed something weird about her.

“GG will you please slow down? I am sure it’s not what we are thinking, “Kira said for the umpteenth time and I sighed loudly hearing that.

We are currently back in the house and Olivia and Victoria are also here with me and they are all trying to tell me that everything is going to be okay.

“Can you please call Lucas again I am sure his number is going to go through now”I asked Olivia and she hissed in anger hearing that?

“Will you please calm your nerves woman? We are not even sure if his name is on the passenger’s list. I do not know why you are so worked up,” Olivia yelled that I wanted to counterattack but Miss Peller rushed into the house.?

“So, what did you find out, Miss Peller?”I asked, panicking and I felt my palm sweaty.

“The friend I have in the ancestral mansion which I called says that the ancestral home is quite peaceful and there is no tension air in the atmosphere so, I don’t think what we are thinking is the truth ma’am, “Miss Peller says and that makes me breathe a sigh of relief but I still have my doubts because I haven’t confirmed from Lucas or even Bradley himself but I am going to wait.

“Since we have a little assurance that what we are thinking might not be true, can we have a little nap because it is late already?”Olivia said, yawning and I asked Peller to direct them to a room to sleep.

I decided to also follow them upstairs but I almost tripped and Victoria quickly caught me.

“Are you okay?” she asked and I nodded my head because there was no way I could lie through my teeth that I was.

“Are you having some difficulties?” she asked, looking into my eyes.

“Nah I am just tired”I answered hurriedly not wanting Olivia to notice the situation.

The lighting in the corridor felt like torture to my eyes but I swallowed the pain I felt because I do not want my friends to worry.

After my friends settled down in one room I went back to my room which I am sharing with Bradley.

“I know I am not a believer but if you are up there please keep Bradley safe, “I say muttering a silent prayer while looking out the window and staring at the silent city.

“Good morning” Olivia greeted but she was scared for her life when she stared at my face.

“Oh my God you scared me, can you please not go out with that face”Olivia yelled but that was the least of my worries.

“Where is Victoria? I think we should go to the Hale group today because…”I was panicking but Miss Peller rushed in.

“Ma’am bad news, “Miss Peller said and I felt my heart skip a bit.

“What is it?”I heard Victoria hurrying down the stairs.

“The Hale PR released….”Miss Peller was saying but Olivia’s voice reading something out cut her off.

“We are sorry to say this but Mr. Hale was among the passengers that boarded the plane that crashed yesterday and we still have notreceived any news about him …”.

“What do you mean the PR department released that?”I asked and my eyes were already brimming with tears because what the hell am I hearing?

“It can not possibly be, right? how could….”I asked stuttering and Victoria quickly pushed me into her embrace.

“He told me he was going to come back today and…,” I say and I felt my throat parched, not able to say anything anymore.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Could Bradley really be in danger? I thought but I decided to hold onto my fate.

He would be fine, I muttered to myself but there were some lingering fears behind that but what I didn’t know was there was more to come.
