“Shh…I know you love me more.” Erickson said like he read her mind. Celine shrugged with a frown. “Will you stop making this weird?”
Erickson grabs her arm tightly. He moved closer to her and his eyes met hers. With a smirk, he leaned closer. Celine jolts, she tried to walk away but his tight grip on her arm stopped her.
Erickson was only making things hard for her, he was trying to confess his feelings but since Celine wasn't willing to listen to his confessions, he thought he had to force it on her.
His grip on her arm becomes tighter and he didn't notice the pain he's inflicting on her. “I love you too” Celine confessed with tears streaming down her chin. She thought she could hide those feelings but not anymore.
Her heart ceased for a second, she wanted to run away from her feelings and then Erickson embraced her from behind.
He let go of her arm with a grin, finally fulfilling his wish. “Let's run away!” Erickson confessed with tears dropping from his eyes.
Unknown to them, the partly shut room door was uncovering their discussion. Behind the door was Hannah, she came back in search of the handbag she forgot.
Hannah gasps with her hands covering her mouth. She was speechless, she realized that it would be a great loss. With tears in her eyes, she ran away to wherever her legs led her.
“Oh, Hannah. You are still here? ” Bianca said trying to stop her. Bianca paused when she sighted tears streaming from Hannah's eyes.
Bianca was worried, she tried to talk to her but it proved abortive. Bianca is used to getting cold response from Hannah so she ignored her and cared less.
Hannah couldn't stop running until she met herself outside. Panting rapidly, she couldn't think of a thing than stare at Celine's favorite black vehicle.
A smirk appeared on Hannah's face. “I would never lose to that worthless girl” Hannah grunts, she moved nigh the vehicle and tampered with its brakes.
She ran and hides in a corner when she heard footsteps hastening towards her. With car keys dangling in Celine's hand, in her other hand was Erickson's arm. It was like they were sneaking out.
They hoped in Celine's favorite vehicle.
Hannah gasped, she couldn't stop herself from running out of her hiding spot but it was too late to stop them, the vehicle accelerated.
“Oh no, I didn't mean to hurt my baby also. How do I save him?” Hannah thought with her heart banging in her chest. She violently pulled her fingers in her hair.
Air huff from her nostrils as she gnashes her teeth, she hops in her vehicle, speeding after Celine's vehicle.
Hannah's car chased after Celine's black vehicle as it weaved through the busy streets. She was determined to catch up with them and stop them before they got too far away. She knew what she had done was wrong, but she couldn't let Erickson go with Celine.
“I don't think we should leave without saying goodbye. Mum would be damn worried.”
“Don't tell me you have changed your decisions. We agreed, alright!”
“But it's not right,” Celine said pushing her legs on the brakes, she formerly press it but her vehicle refused to halt.
Erickson understood what was going on, he also tried pressing his leg against the brakes.
“Oh no, the brakes aren't responding,” Celine said as sweat broke on her forehead.
Hannah was getting closer to them when she noticed something strange happening to the black vehicle. It was swerving from side to side, and she could see smoke coming from the engine.
"Oh no," she whispered to herself, realizing that she had tampered with the brakes too much. She had not meant to cause a serious accident, just enough to stop them from leaving.
The black vehicle suddenly crashed into a nearby tree, and Hannah's car screeched to a halt behind it. She quickly got out of her car and ran towards the wreckage.
Celine was unconscious, and Erickson was bleeding heavily from his head. Hannah's heart sank as she realized the extent of what she had done. She could not bear the guilt and shame that filled her heart.
She frantically dialed for an ambulance and stayed with them until help arrived. Celine and Erickson were rushed to the hospital, and Hannah followed behind them in her car.
As she sat in the hospital waiting room, her mind was filled with regret and remorse. She had acted out of jealousy and had caused so much pain to the people she loved.
When the doctor finally came out with the news, her heart raced with anxiety. “Celine had survived the crash but was badly injured, and Erickson was in critical condition. He needs a blood donor.”
Hannah's heartbeat ceased.
She could not bear the guilt of her actions any longer. She knew she had to confess everything to Celine and take responsibility for what she had done.
With a heavy heart, she walked toward Celine's room, ready to face the consequences of her actions.
She turned around, how could she face Celine? She hesitated and walked away. With her hands shivering, she decided to phone their parent with her voice barely audible.
“Ma, please come over.” She narrated everything with tears streaming from her eyes. She sent the hospital address via text.
"Okay. We'll be there soon. Just stay there and wait for us," Bianca said before hanging up the phone.
Hannah sank to the ground, her head in her hands. She couldn't believe what she had done. She had hurt the person she love just to satisfy her evil desire.
She knocked back to her senses “Why am I being a weakling? Why do I even care? I'm only after his money. Well, he deserves that for breaking my heart.” Hannah said wiping her tears.
The next thing she could think of was running away. In haste, she stylishly walked out of the hospital. Unfortunately for her, Henry and Bianca came over with a bunch of policemen.
“Arrest her, she almost murdered my babies,” Bianca said pointing at Hannah. Hannah shivered “But…but I saved their lives.”
