M Heart Chose you

Violet POV

A beautiful looking woman probably in her early twenties was seen running up the stairs with a three year old child in her arms, she looked back in fear continuously as if someone was following her, soon she got to the top of the stairs, sighed in relief and smiled at the baby

"did you really think you could run from us" a male voice came from behind her, the woman froze then gripped the baby in fear

she shouted "you can't take her"

"too late" the man said as he took a gun and shot the woman's leg making her fall and cry in pain

"noooo" she wailed as the baby was taken from her

"any last words" the man asked smiling devilishly as he pointed the gun to her forehead and pulled the trigger...

I woke up in sweat, I just had that stupid nightmare again, I've had that dream a few times ever since watching a scary movie last year, I'm not really into horror but I did it on a dare, curse Lisa for forcing me to watch

Suddenly Bella barged into my room

"come on Vee today is the big day, you have to be ready in five minutes and I've prepared your favorite breakfast"

I rolled my eyes, sometimes i think she is the big sister rather than me, she's just ten and she can cook simple dishes, do house chores and wake up early on her own.

And here I was at eighteen, too lazy to get out of bed early, even frying eggs could be considered rocket science for me.

With a groan, i lazily dragged myself out of the bed and stepped into the shower letting the warm water cool my head

Today is the day of my very important interview with Avia Institute of Gems and Jewellery the one that will grant me a scholarship to the institute.

And honestly i wasn't nervous or anxious like most people will be because not to brag but i know for a fact that I'm the best when it comes to Gems and Jewellery, so getting the scholarship will be a piece of cake for me

Within minutes i was done showering, i went to my closet and picked a denim trouser and jacket with a white shirt, i love such casual wears, they often boost my confidence

"i thought you were never going to come out" Bella teased as I entered the dining room, my mouth watered as i smelled the delicious aroma of the breakfast she just made, "you are the world best cook" i complimented her and she beamed with pride.

As I stuffed my face with waffles I told her "remember if Amanda and Gary comes home and asks of me you know what to say" she sighed "you know I'm not a fan of lies but for you, I'll do it"

Avia Institute of Gems and Jewellery is known as the world's number one institute of studying Gems and creating Jewellery, any parent will be proud to have their child there except mine of course.

Though the tuition is expensive, over five thousand people are going for the interview and out of this five thousand, Three thousand will gain admission to the institute and just ten will get the scholarship, I have to be one of the lucky ten because no one will pay for the tuition, especially not my parents, they hate the idea of me studying and are never in support of what I do

They must not even know about this interview or else they will do everything in their power to stop me, that's why Bella has to lie to them.

I kissed her cheek in appreciation "love you sis, I'm running late so i have to go now"

"Good luck Vee, i know you will do great, so eat that interview and leave no crumbs" she laughed at her own joke

Her assurance of me doing well only fueled my confidence to a 1000%

The institute has placed at least fifty buses in different parts of the country to convey interviewees to the office where the interview is to take place.

I took a taxi to the nearest bus station and Within twenty minutes i got there, and met almost a hundred interviewees standing by the side of the road, waiting for the bus to arrive

Some looked nervous while others looked determined, I sighed, today is going to be tough

Most of them stood in groups talking and sharing ideas, i didn't know anyone there so i just stood in a corner and looked over my credentials and documents that will be used during the interview.

Satisfied with what i saw, i looked up to find a handsome guy with gorgeous blond hair and grey eyes looking at me

I grimaced "and you are"

"Caleb, nice to meet you" he stretched out his hand but i didn't shake it

"I see, you are not comfortable with talking to strangers" he blushed with embarrassment putting his hand in his pocket

"What do you want" i said already bored of his presence

"you dropped your earring while walking and i thought of giving you" he said and held out a pair of my expensive Chanel earring

I touched my ear and sighed in realization "thank you so much, sorry for being rude though"

"its okay I'm not that welcoming to strangers either" he smiled, i took the earring from him and wore it.

We talked for a while and i found out that his mother is one of the directors of the institute but she told him that she will not pull strings for him and he should work just as hard as everyone to get the admission to the institute

I was surprised "wow, its rare to see parents do such, your mom must be really strict to do that, but honestly its the right thing to do"

He nodded "i couldn't agree more, mom and i strongly believe in hard work rather than nepotism, by the way getting into such an institute will be such a huge feat"

For me getting into the institute will be more than a huge feat, but a dream come true.

Gems and creation of Jewellery has been my life long passion and studying in the institute will only ignite the fervor in me and fulfill my dreams of having my own Jewellery making company, dreams of being known all over the world, dreams of proving to the world and especially my parents that girls are more than pretty faces and can achieve something other than being a good house wife.

I smiled I can't wait to make these dreams a reality.

Violet POV

"Hey, i just got a text from my mom saying that the bus will arrive soon, I'm so worried about the interview, what if something goes wrong" Caleb said and started panicking

I chuckled, holding his hand in my palms "just take deep breaths, everything is going to be fine, remember you worked hard for this and you will definitely get admitted to the institute"

He calmed down immediately "thanks Violet, i really needed that"

"of course what are friends for" I smiled before hearing him gasp, his eyes widening

"what is it" i asked confused

His grey eyes turned soft " Wow, you have the loveliest dimples I have ever seen, pretty girl.

I frowned and took my hands away from his, i have heard so many compliments about my dimples and I couldn't care less about that but I didn't and have never liked to be called a pretty girl, before i could give him a piece of my mind the bus arrived earning shouts of excitement from all the interviewees.

The driver got down and he started checking our files and entry number before letting us go in the bus, the institute did this for security reasons

Suddenly, from the corner of my eyes, i sighted an old lady on a wheelchair being dragged by some dangerous looking guys into a dark alley and one of them used a cloth to cover her mouth to prevent her from screaming

I was alarmed, how could they do that to her, i needed to help her at all costs, as i was leaving, Caleb stopped me holding my hand

"where are you going the driver will soon call us in"

I knew that I'm risking my interview for this old lady that I've never seen before but like my karate sensei says "Try to do good everyday especially to strangers because in the middle of generosity lies opportunities"

I looked at Caleb "he is still in number 12 and my entry number is 89, i will be back before then and If not, could you please stall the bus till I'm back"

he looked confused for a while but hesitantly agreed

"of course, be back soon though" I nodded and dashed to the dark alley

On getting there I crept to a corner and watched them discreetly, there were four guys who looked around my age and I saw one using a gun to threaten the old lady, they took away her expensive jewellery and electric wheelchair pushing her to sit on the floor.

I gasped in horror after one of the guys who looked stupid rather than scary in all his piercings and tattoos pointed a gun to her head, ready to kill her after taking all her things

The old lady realized this and begged "please don't kill me I've given you all your want"

the guy just kicked her legs and hit her face with a gun making her bleed "shut up old hag" he said spitting on her face.

I widened my eyes in anger, that did it, they just crossed the line, I rushed to the guy and gave him a punch so hard I'm sure i knocked a tooth, he dropped the gun and fell to the floor wincing in pain, i took the gun pointing it to the other three, who looked shocked but non-threatened

I glared at them "we can do this the easy way or the hard way, just give this woman all her things and leave quietly or else"

They first looked confused, then amused before laughing like idiots, one of them said mid laugh "Is this a joke, who is this girl and how can she confidently threaten us"

Oh, so they doubt me because I'm a girl, Hah! jokes on them, they really don't know who they are messing with

The second guy who looked like their leader licked his lips looking at me "she is so pretty she could be my girlfriend"

The old lady just looked at me sadly "oh dear, you don't need to defend me, you are still young and I don't want these guys to harm you, so leave now while you still can"

Still pointing the gun at them, I wiped the blood off her forehead with my hand "don't worry mam, I'll protect you"

That statement only seemed to amuse the guys who laughed harder

The one who I punched got up from the floor rubbing his cheek "I think she should be part of our gang, she is fierce and she throws good punches"

The youngest guy whose outfit looked so horrible I'm sure he dressed himself blindfolded sneered at me "babe, do you even know how to use that" he said pointing at the gun

These guys were seriously testing my patience, i gave a wicked smirk to the badly dressed guy "never call me your babe and yes i do know how to use this, infact let me show you"

I aimed for his thigh and shot it, he shouted and fell to the ground, the other guys looked alarmed and from the look on their faces they instantly knew that i was not one to be messed with.

The guy who I punched, rushed towards me trying to grab the gun from my hands but i skillfully swerved, aimed for his arm and shot it "Ahhhh, how dare you bitch" he cried in pain falling to the ground, i tried to shoot the other two guys but the bullet finished, Ugh I guess we are doing this the old-fashioned way then

I've been waiting for a moment like this to beat up guys and be a heroine, when I received my brown belt in karate, six months ago needless to say Karate is my favourite hobby, while jewels is my passion, I've been learning karate for the past eight years and i can confidently say that it is the best decision I've ever made, though I learnt It discreetly, cause if my parents ever found out, they will go all ballistic on me, telling me all sort of nonsense like how females shouldn't do anything but look pretty, Tsk, what rubbish.

Anyways, back to the present, the remaining two guys looked happy, now that the bullets has finished they thought that they can easily take me down now, but little did they know how dangerous my hands and legs could be after eight years of training in karate

I glanced at the old woman to see how she was doing, but she just looked at me in awe and disbelief, knowing that she was okay I looked back at the guys ready to fight them

author's note💖

Violet is such a badass though, i mean, from disliking being called pretty to punching the gut out of those guy, she is a true role model

can't wait to see what she how she fights in the next chapter, so stay tuned y'all

💗💗💕

Violet POV

Both guys ran towards me to attack but i knew how to handle them, I turned to one and gave a kick so powerful he flew backwards crashing into a pile of trash cans

I turned to the other and gave him a side kick but he dodged, he then tried to hit me and I blocked it before giving him a straight punch, he fell to the ground immediately.

The guy who i kicked stood up from the pile of trash cans groaning in pain as he walked towards me limping "sweetie, we can end this right now, in fact you can be my girlfriend and I'll treat you like a queen, please let's just stop fighting"

I laughed scornfully "really?, no need to act so pitiful, you know that you are no match for me and you are trying to escape this fight, sorry but i don't take pity on losers like you"

I took a glass bottle from beside me and smashed it on his head, shattering glass everywhere, the guy blacked out instantly

"Phew" i exhaled loudly, that fight had been easy, i turned to the old lady "are you okay mam" i asked politely, but she just looked at me like I was a goddess

I rolled my eyes, there is nothing surprising about a girl beating up guys, right?

I gently hauled the woman to her feet and placed her on her electric wheelchair, "here you go" i said giving her all her jewellery

"Thank you so much child, what you did today means so much to me, i should have never doubted you, i don't even know how to repay you for your kindness" she hugged me affectionately and I hugged her back, happy I was able to help

"No problem mam, you don't need to repay me at all, I'm just glad I could help" I replied breaking out of the hug "is there anyone I could call to come and get you out of here"

"yes, my grandson, actually my grandson and i were in a parking lot heading towards the mall to do some shopping when i told him i forgot my phone and asked him to help me get it from the car, he hasn't gone for more than a minute when these boys came came out from God knows where, with a sedated handkerchief using it to cover my nose making me faint, and by the time i woke up I found myself here stripped of everything i owned by those boys"

I tried not to roll my eyes, i only asked a simple question and she gave me a detailed explanation of what happened, old people could be such loquacious people

"okay and do you know your grandson's number by heart so that i can call him" i asked

"no i don't know his number by heart, but i do know other things like his birthday, favorite colors and...."

"okay I get it, I'll just call 911 then" i interrupted her politely not wanting to listen to another long talk

I whipped out my phone dialing 911, after explaining the situation to them and giving them the address of the alley with the response of them coming soon, i hung up the phone facing the old lady "the police are on their way and they'll be here to take you home soon"

"Violet right, such a wrong choice of name, it doesn't suit you at all" she said shaking her head

"huh, what does that mean" asked a confused me

"it means your parents gave you the wrong name, Violet means beautiful and delicate, the beautiful part is absolutely correct while the delicate part is so wrong, nothing about you Is delicate on the contrary you are the toughest girl i know and that makes you special"

I shrugged "I know that I'm tough and all, but I'm not sure if that makes me special, besides i don't think i told you my name, so how did you know"

"oh i saw the name on the file you dropped while fighting those guys, isn't it yours"

"what fi..." I gasped as i remembered "ahh, the interview, my files, oh no"

my sudden outburst frightened the old lady and I turned to her taking the file from her hands "don't worry mam, the police will be here soon but i have to go so, bye"

Before she could even open her mouth to reply, I dashed out of there, how could i have forgotten about the most important interview of my life, why am i such a fool sometimes

When i got to the bus station, the bus just moved, i was happy to see that it hasn't left completely, but i couldn't celebrate yet till I've entered the bus, so I ran towards the bus like my life depended on it cause it actually did.

Fortunately for me, I saw Caleb through the window, I waved frantically hoping he would see me and fortunately he did, oh today is my lucky day

Caleb looked happy to see me, he then signaled for the driver to stop the bus and he did, i was so happy, i thanked God silently in my heart as i ran towards the bus to enter it, I'm truly such a favored girl

I was only 3 feet away from the bus entrance when it moved and sped away, leaving me very confused

"WHAT THE HELL" I screamed so loudly passerbys looked at me like I was insane, but i didn't care, how could they leave me like that, didn't Caleb stop the bus, but most importantly, did I just miss the most important interview of my life

I tried going to the interview office myself but I remembered that unless you join the bus you are not qualified to do the interview, besides the driver probably didn't mark my name in the attendance note

I couldn't believe i missed my life long dream interview just to help an old lady, it no longer felt heroic, but plain stupid and careless of me to ignore my interview like that

I squeezed my face tight to keep me from crying in public, i will do the crying when i get home, curled up in bed with Bella trying to comfort me

I felt so disappointed in my self, I also disappointed Bella, Lisa and my Sensei who were the only ones that knew of the interview and were confident I will do great

Today is officially the worst day of my life
