Chapter 20

Groaning as my head pounded the next morning , I tried to open my eyes as I felt pains on my head and I felt so weak . I wondered how much I had drank that would put me in such a situation .

As I looked round I realized I wasn’t on my bed and I was in a strange room with golden interiors .

I sat upright quickly as I tried to remember what happened last night .

Raising the covers wrapped around my body I gasped knowing fully well that I had gone to bed with a stranger last night I turned to see if there was anyone on the bed or in the room but I was all alone with only a note on the bed side that said “here’s a little token from me to you “ with a couple of bills placed on the table .

I felt so disgusted that I had been treated like that as I struggled to wear my clothes and picked the rest of my items as I walked out of the hotel room in shame and imagined how disappointed Zack would feel

Opening the door as I tiptoed in I wasn’t ready for another morning session with mother and father today .

“Stop there young lady where are you coming from “ mother yelled

As I tried to climb the stair case .

Rolling my eyes I retreated my steps

“Yes mum “ I replied .

“I see no reason why a child of mine the heir of the philps will return home dressed in a scandalous outfit after spending the night outside her house in the midst of her engagement to a Mario “ she said

“I stayed at Cassy’s house mother “ I replied .

“Cassy this Cassy that first it was Zack now it’s Cassy I’m tired of this character , he is dead don’t you get it you don’t have to waste your life so someone who is unfortunate and not well known in our world ! You moved from the sweet girl who was quiet and listened to everything I told you even though you stayed alone , to a lunatic and had to visit therapists then now you have moved to been a rebellious chid you .. “ she kept yelling while I interrupted her .

“Me ?! A lunatic ?! Really mother I’m not surprised you think this low of me after all I was brought into your life to act a script that you planned with father without making decisions for myself . Now to break it down for you that unfortunate soul made me a cheerful person , respected me and showed me love when all you cared about was your business . He was the best and I will always be grateful for meeting a soul like Zack “ I replied as I walked out .

I never had normal convos with mother it always had to be arguments and exchanging of words and at this point I was exhausted .

Shutting my room door I tried to remember anything from last night but I could barely recall and I really disliked it . I wondered what I drank to put me in a state where I couldn’t recall anything.

Sitting down beside my bed stand I dropped my phone as I saw zacks picture I instantly felt like a disappointment.

I knew he would be disappointed in me

Tears streamed down my face as I kept repeating “I’m sorry Zack “ while hugging the photo frame .

That day I did nothing productive apart from lying down on my bed and wondering how disappointed Zack would feel .

The knock on the door interrupted my thoughts “ come in “ I replied .

The door opened revealing Greta Ma as she approached me with a tray of food .

“Dinner is ready figured you won’t want to come downstairs so I brought it up for you “ she said

“Dinner ?! “ I asked shocked at how time went by .

“Yes Harriet it’s 8:00 already “ I reached for my phone to check the time

“Thank you Greta Ma “ I greeted

“Are you okay dear ? Noticed you haven’t stepped out since you got back “ she asked concerned.

“Yea I’m okay thank you “ I replied .

“If you need anybody to talk to I’m here dear “ she said

Nodding my head in reply I stood up to hug her .

After having my dinner , I took my bath and dressed up in my night wear to sleep .

‘Harriet c’mon babe you have had enough to drink already you know I don’t like when you drink ‘

‘Please Zack just small one more sip ‘ I pleaded.

‘Fine but just so you know I do not like you getting drunk ‘ he replied .

Memories of the car accident included:

‘Zack , watch out for the road ‘ I yelled as we both tried to dodge the car coming ahead .

“Ahhhhhhh” I yelled as sat upright waking up from my dream with sweat dripping from my forehead .

It’s been long since I had a dream relating to Zack . Stretching I turned on my lamp as I took my pills

Whispering “I’m sorry Zack I let yo down “
