Chapter 2 2

I look at them with wide eyes, and they look back at me just as nervously. "Caliee" they both shouted hugging me

They both hug me tightly, and I can feel their heartbeat pounding against my body. I'm so nervous, too, but I try to remain calm and not appear as anxious as they are.

"Are you good at hugging, Jia?" I agree

"Daig is still taking it..." Avery added.

Avery laughed lightly, trying to hide her own anxiety. "Calista and I can pass"

"Of course, the results are very anxious." I told them.

"Just calm down guys" said Jia

"Duh! I can't calm down until there are results," I laughed. I'm just like that, but deep inside, I'm trapped by nerves.

"Me too. Look, my heart is already palpitating," Avery said, pointing to his chest.

The next morning is the day when the results will be released usually because he is being arraigned in the Supreme Court. Every night and every passing day was filled with anxiety to me, I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep.

"CALIEEEE!" Avery yelled at me.

"This is the day! omg are you ready?" This is a question.

"I-I don't know, can I really do it? What if I fail, what if I don't pass?" I asked him, both of my eyes were almost bulging with excitement.

"What, you can do it, you're going to be a lawyer! hmm?" I nodded to him. We used daddy's car. Mom and dad couldn't come with me to see the results themselves, so I don't even know if they support me.

We waited for a few hours, there were many people with us, some old, some my age, almost mixed.

Little by little, everyone's name and last name appeared on the screen, many of them stared because others had passed, while Avery and I were going to join.

When it came to the letter H, we looked for my surname "Harrison" but unfortunately it was not there

"Avery, nothing. I-I didn't pass!" Little by little my tears flowed down my cheeks.

When the letter T was done, Avery's last name and name came out "Avery Axiana Torres" Avery will be a lawyer, but she can't be happy if she sees me sad.

"Caliee, you're coming back next year, huh? He tried to comfort me.

I shook my head here and ran out. I hailed a taxi without bringing anything. I left my bag in the car that I brought earlier. "This is my brother," I gave my expensive gold bracelet to the driver as payment.

"Oh, ma'am, it's too expensive" It's obvious from the look of my gold bracelet that it's really expensive because of how shiny it is.

"take it first brother!"

I shouted here while sobbing, you can see the driver's reaction of surprise as if he is asking himself what he did wrong to me.

When I got out of the taxi I went straight into the mansion, I met manang ellie, but I didn't pay attention to it.

"Mom?" I called here, and he turned to hold me on my cheek because of a strong slap landed on my cheek.

"I-I'm sorry."

"You useless son!"

"Mom, I'll come back next year, I'll get better!"

"I don't have a stupid daughter!" A slap

it did it again on my other cheek.

I couldn't handle everything anymore, so I answered it, even though I knew there would be consequences when I did that.

"Mas..You have nothing to say! Who told you that I want this? Why are you the one not making the decision in my life? Why are you blocking my dreams? Why would I want to be a lawyer if that's what I have in mind? I am medicine!" I shouted, at the same time it gave me a strong push

"How dare you! I didn't swallow you to answer me, Calista! You really have nothing to say, I wish I would have just killed you, you animal!"

"I hope so! Because you're a worthless mother!"

"What? Get out, Get out! You don't have to say anything, not even a squint, Get out of my house!" He pushed me out, but manang ellie blocked but there was nothing she could do because she would lose her job.

"Ma'am don't--" He didn't finish speaking when mom's eyes widened.

"GET OUT YOU DON'T TAKE ANYTHING, NOT EVEN YOUR CLOTHES!"

I took my car that I had been saving since college, drove it and went to my daddy's club. When I got to the club, Nix immediately greeted me

"Hey, look who's here!" Nix shouted

He put his arms around me, I was trying to remove it, "Will you let me go, I'll remove your two eggs?"

"Hey, calm down, Calista. What happened? I heard the results came out, right? Did you pass?"

"Can you please leave me alone?"

"Oh?? Let me guess, you didn't pass, right?" he still grumbled

"I-I didn't pass." I said softly

"That's okay, bro."

"Gagó not okay, no!" I shouted at him so everyone who passed by looked at me.

"Yoah, why am I shouting against you here, let's get drunk.."

He handed me a glass of wine, but I chose to drink a bottle of whiskey instead. "Caliee, calm down, you might get drunk with that, it's not good bro."

"Edi màmàtay, let satànas take me, I don't fúcking care!"

I didn't realize that little by little I was getting drunk, I went to the dance floor and I danced and let out the pain I was feeling.

"Hey miss wanna join me?" The man behind me asked.

It's crazy, why does it seem like something is rubbing behind me "Hey, I have a lot of problems, don't add to it" I yelled at him as I poked him.

I lost control and went outside to get some fresh air. "I-I...I'm going home, help! I want to go to sleep, I don't want to drink anymore!" I shouted outside the club.

I want to get in my car, but I'm trying to open my car so I can't put the key in, "Who's going to lock it!" My language, even though I actually locked it.

When it was opened, I immediately started my car, around 11:00 am when I finished, there were not many people passing by so I sped up a little.

As soon as I unlocked it, I immediately started my car. It was already 11:00 pm when I finished, and there weren't many people passing by, so I slightly sped up while driving.

Until little by little it speeds up which scares me, I seem to have lost my drunk "A-av-very" I call my friend trying to get my phone out of my pocket, but I can't get it.

I'm still trying to stop the car after a few steps on the brake but it doesn't work, my tears fall

"What did I do, help"

I screamed, but there was no one at that time, I tried not to crash, when I saw a woman my age, she crossed where I was going, if I turned I would end up in a deep and watery part, I tried to shout at the woman to block her but she had a name.

"MISS TABI!" I shouted.

"Miss, please get out of there, please help me!"

I gave a strong impulse, at the same time as I did, the girl in the road was covered in her own blood, "W-what did I do?"

My two hands are shaking, as well as my knee, I'm not in the right frame of mind anymore, I feel a mixture of nervousness and fear at this time.

I called Nix to help me "N-nix I crashed" I was sobbing here

"Gagó, where are you? I'm going to see you, send me your location, now!"

he shouted, I could barely speak properly, "W-what am I going to do" I said while holding my cellphone, my hand was shaking and I couldn't hold my cellphone properly.

I sat down, no one is passing the time, this woman is bloody.

I waited a few minutes for Nix to come, "Caliee!" It screamed and hugged me.

"W-what should I do, Nix? I-I didn't mean for all of this to happen!" I shouted at him.

"Go home to your dad's hotel first, I'll take care of things here," He said and hugged me again.

I hesitated to get into Nix's car, what I knew he was going to do was call his people to take care of it, I don't know, I don't know!

"YOU STUPID CALISTA!" I shouted here.

I beat my chest, "What sin did I do, why are you punishing me?"

"I-I'm sorry, I'm not a dying person!"

My clothes are full of blood, I can't be seen like this inside the hotel, so I got dressed, Nix left a hoodie so I put it on, as soon as I entered I was greeted by people, no I can't speak, and I'm just dumbfounded that I didn't even ask what free room.

"Ma'am Calista? Is that your key?" the female employee here at the hotel reached me.

"W-Ah? Me? W-What?"

A strong ray of sunlight hit my eyes, so I squinted, suddenly someone knocked on my door.

"M-Ma'am Calista, here's your breakfast," She smiled as she reached for my food.

"thank you"

I smiled at him, "Hey, thank you, it was all just a dream, I really thought I had killed myself!" I laughed sarcastically to myself

I left the hotel, Nix greeted me, so I congratulated her.

"Nix" I shouted at him.

"Calie!"

I can see the sadness and nervousness in Nix's eyes, I don't know why he is reacting like this.

"Oh? Why do you look so sad to see me?" I asked him

"It's okay now."

"Huh?" I asked him, I didn't know what he was telling me.

He furrowed his brow and hugged me tightly. "Calie, everything's fine, you won't go to jail."

"Huh? what are you talking about?" I said sarcastically to him

"Caliee, that accident girl, she's on a hill now"

My eyes almost watered at what he said, does that mean it wasn't a dream? Did I really kill the girl in my dream? does that really exist? how, why?

"I'll go to him" I said here but he pulled my arm closer to him.

"You can't go to his hill, Caliee, it's not family"

"I s-killed him?" I sat on the floor sobbing, tears running down my cheeks

"Caliee, everything was an accident, not your fault."

"What did I do?" I asked him while holding my chest, I hit it while sobbing, no one tried to stand me up, everyone was staring at me. But no one tried to approach me.

"Caliee, stand up, it's not your fault, it's okay that you can live a good life again, okay?"

I shook my head at this, he hugged me tightly, and put my head on his chest while he stroked my black hair.

He took me to my room, he handed me water but I was still stunned and thinking about what happened.

I took my bag and reached for the envelope with only money, "give it to the woman's family" I reached for it.

"Calista, you'll get into trouble. What will they think if you give them money?"

"Tell them... I'm a friend of..."

"See! You don't even know my name, what do you expect me to do?!"

"Donate, just give that to the girl's family" I shouted here

"Ca-Calista" It whispered my name softly

"Get out!" I shouted, it was no choice to leave in front of me.

"You don't have friends màmàtay man, múrdérer me!" I almost lost my breath 'cause I found out, I just stared at my hands

I soiled my hand, I'm a dead man!

I lay in the room, crying and wondering what to do. I soiled my hand, and I feel the weight of the mistake I made. I can't believe I was part of a tragedy. The word "" keeps repeating itself in my mind. I don't know how to deal with my sins. My life changed in an instant, and I don't know how I can get it back, how I can solve it.

"Ma'am calista, there has been trouble down there for a while now." The female employee said.

"Will you let me in, or will I sue you all?" The man said the guard was pulling him away but it was forced, I took it out and saw Caleb?

"W-What?"

He came near me and pushed me so that I leaned against the wall.

"You killed my fiance, die man, the day you killed him, I was talking to him and I heard your voice!"

"FÚCK YOU I'LL MAKE SURE TO HOLD YOU TO THE BARRIER!"

"I-I didn't s-kill him!" When I refused, he insisted on pushing me against the wall.

"You're a liar! You even sent money, for what? To make it seem like you can afford my fiancée's life? You're just rich, Calista! Remember, I... myself will be the one to pass judgment on you, leading to your death!"

After he finished saying all those hurtful words, he left me standing and full of worry. "How is she? Caleb's F-Fiancée is the one I ran into?"

I almost collapsed when he said to me, "I didn't kill him, I killed him" When I denied myself.

"Ma'am, Calista, are you all right, I just want to ask who is that?" asked the woman earlier who was holding Caleb.

A man I wish I would never see again.

I went back inside the hotel, I arranged everything with my stuff when suddenly Avery called me.

I've been out of my mind for a few days, restless about what Caleb will do next, what if he doesn't stop me?

I was thrown back when Avery called me.

"Calista...Caleb, fiancée, it's her last day on the hill, maybe you want to take a peek?" He asked me on the cellphone, Nix had already told him. I really have nothing to hide.

"Send me the location" I said here before hanging up the cellphone.

When I came to the hill where the woman I ran into felt the weight of sorrow around. Many people grieve and express their grief over the loss of a good person. I saw Caleb's friends and relatives waiting in front of the casket, my face covered, 'cause I didn't want Caleb to recognize me.
