Cry of menace

chapter 26

William

I go back to my room , the bathroom is locked so I huff in annoyance and loudly call out to Amelia but I hear no answer. I wait for a few minutes and knock again but still no answer. I bring my spare keys and finally open the door ready to slap the shit out of Amelia . But when I see her , I freeze. My body shakes as I go towards her and find her in the bathtub. The water is red . There is a blade lying in the tub and her arms, legs , stomach is bleeding. I pick her up and run in my room. Her face is pale and there's a small smile on her face .

I call the family doctor and tell her to come asap. I start wrapping her wounds up so that she doesn't bleed much. Hearing me shout brings mom up and she gasps as she sees Amelia.

" Wh..what happened?" She stammers

I don't bother answering. It's fucking obvious what happened. She had made so many cuts in her thighs that no matter how much I wrap it , they keep bleeding.

When the doctor arrives , she ushers me outside and tells us to wait. It takes her a while to come out and when she does her face doesn't reveal anything.

" Her condition is really bad , she won't stop bleeding . I have stitched her up but someone should keep an eye on her. When she wakes up, there's a possibility that she will try to tear those stitches. Make sure she is well rested. "

" When will she wake up?" I ask

" I'm not sure, it might takes days or even weeks. Seeing her condition , I don't think she'll wake up anytime soon "
I nod and the look she gives me is nothing but a glare. I give her some extra cash so she doesn't say this to anyone. "

When she leaves , mom bombards me with questions . Her face is wet with tears.

" Why do you care about her all of a sudden?" I ask suddenly

" Wh..what?"

" You hated her ! Amelia would try to do so many things so that you could like her but you were always so cold to her ! What has changed now?"

" I'm sorry ! I'm so sorry William" she sobs

" Sorry for what?"

" I lied ! Amelia didn't drown Posie ! She told me to keep an eye on her and..and I got a call so I just went in the other room when ..when she drowned. I swear I didn't mean it to happen . I just looked away for a minute and ..and she was gone."

"You..you are lying " I say

" I'm not. I'm sorry William , I'm so sorry . I didn't know you would take this so far . I was scared and I didn't know what to do . I didn't want you to blame me "

" So you told me that she killed her . What were you expecting me to do? What if I had given her to the cops. "

" I'm sorry .."

" Get out ! Get the fuck out of my house " I scream.

She gives me a last look and leaves. I don't know how I feel. I was punishing her . I almost killed her . I cry as it crashes on me. The things I did to her , the way I treated her. She had begged me so many times but I never believed her. I was so fucked up that I wanted to remove all my anger on her. We could have delt with this together. I could have held her as she cried for Posie and she would have done the same.

She lost the second baby as well and it was all my fault. I punch the wall once , twice until my knuckles are bleeding. I open the door to my bedroom and watch her from afar . Her face pale and covered in bandages.

I sit beside her and cry " I'm sorry , I'm so sorry Amelia . She told me what happened. I'll buy a house near the beach and watch the sunset everyday. When you wake up we'll go for a walk and I'll buy you your favourite ice cream. I'll make up for everything , I promise"

I sit there for hours waiting for her to wake up . Waiting for her hand to twitch but nothing. At last , I get out and go for a walk. I had checked some houses near the beach. Amelia always used to tell me that she wanted to live near the beach and go for a walk everyday and soak in the sun.

I had wishlisted some best ones and once she wakes up I'll them to her and tell her to select one. I'll even let her decorate the house . I bring some get well soon cards and write my cousins name on it. I also buy some teddy bears and keep them beside her.

Days go by and she still doesn't wake up. I give her all the medicine on time , bath her , apply ointment and do everything I can .

Whenever I look at her , it brings me this gut wrenching pain for what I did to her but I shove it down and think of the future. I remember the couple and the twins and think that maybe that can come true for us. One day we might have our children and maybe we'll be happy.

I think of the future that is to come. That when finally she wakes up , our lives will change. I'll make sure that I don't ruin anything. I'll give her whatever she wants . I'll always be there for her.
