A Month passes, everything was as it always has been. Drake goes to work, comes back home on time. Nothing changed around him except the pain that Joy Gave him.
He was no longer a smiling, loving Drake. He hardly talks to people and smiles, stays alone and would hardly go anywhere except work.
During all this time Embrey Chose to stay by his side. She tries everything just to see Drake smile for once but she fails, she knew if there was anyone who could bring a smile to his face was only Joy.
For a whole month, Embrey never stops looking for Joy even after Drake tells her not to look for Joy. She knew she has to find Joy to bring Back old Drake.
If Embrey Hadn't stayed by Drake's side it would have been so hard for him to get through it.
Drake was working in his office When Embrey came running to him breathing heavily, She was tired and looked like she hasn't slept for days.
"Drake? Drake, you need to know this" Said Embrey.
Drake looked at tired Embrey at said," Embrey? What happened? Why you look so tired? Are you sick?"
Drake held Embrey's hand and made her sit on the sofa.
" Don't worry about me Drake, I would be fine, But you need to hear it, you would be so happy," said Embrey smiling.
"What is it? Embrey? "asked Drake.
" I found her, I found Joy, She is in London." Said Embrey holding Drake's Hand Excitedly.
Drake looked stunned for a while, He looked at Embrey with anger in his eyes.
" I told you to never look for her? didn't I? What do you think you are Embrey? Huh? I told you that I don't ever wanna see her face, then Why would you look for her? I don't care Where she is? or what she is doing? she left me for her own petty reasons, she did not care about me or my feelings then why Should I?"
Drake was so angry that he has no idea what he was saying. He Held Embrey's wrist tightly in anger and yelled at her," You know what? you all are the same, you are just like her, Embrey, I asked you only one thing, that was to never took her name in front of me and you could not even do that, " shouted Drake.
"But Drake, I thought you would be happy to know I found Joy, It was so hard to find her." Interrupted Embrey with slight tears in her eyes.
But Drake did not want to hear anything, he just kept yelling at Embrey in anger.
" Why don't you understand Embrey, I don't need her, I don't Need Anybody, not even you, okay, So just leave, I don't need you" yelled Drake.
Drake's harsh words were hurting Embrey, her eyes were all teared up because of him but Embrey Knew that Drake was in pain, so she endured everything and tried to calm him down.
But Drake was not ready to calm down. Embrey held Drake's Hand and Said," Drake I know, you are in Pain, I understand but I can't see you this way, You Love Joy and she is the only one who makes you alive and happy".
Drake Interrupted Embrey and shouted," Alive? huh? Embrey? I think you don't hear me, I said I don't need her, She is dead for me, Okay, and now I want you to get out from my sight."😡😡😡😠
Drake held Embrey's Hand tightly and asked her to leave harshly. Embrey denied with tears in her eyes.
" Why can't you just leave me alone? I don't need you. I don't need anyone, You are just like her you are gonna betray me too just like her", Shouted Drake in anger.
Embrey could no longer hold her tears. She looked at him and yelled with tears felling from her eyes.
" Because I Care for you Drake Because I am your friend and I can't see you in pain and Because I love you".
Drake looked at Embrey and Said harshly." Then that's your problem Embrey.did not you want it too, you should be happy, you always wanted me to hate Joy and now when I am actually doing what you had always wanted you should be happy. I never asked you to care for me and I don't even want you to care for me, just leave me alone because you are nothing to me, Okay? so just get out, Okay and don't ever come to me".
Drake was angry because of Joy and he took all of his anger out on Embrey, he did not even realize what he said to Embrey, how much he has hurt her.
Embrey left the office in tears she was hurt. She never thought Drake could be so harsh towards her.
She knew Drake did not want to say all of this but he did and it was really hurting her.
Drake on other hand was in a lot of pain he could not understand what he was doing, why he was throwing everyone who loves him away from him. he knew he had hurt Embrey but he was so angry that he just did not want to talk about anything he wanted to be alone.
The next day Embrey did not come to the hospital. Two days passed Drake did not come to work either. Embrey was worried for Drake. Drake did not want to talk to her but she could not leave him all by himself.
She tried every possible way to know if he was fine but nothing helped. She knew that other than Hospital if Drake could be somewhere then it has to be his house.
Embrey was worried if Drake was fine? "What if he is sick? he has not come to work for two days, he is not responding to my calls either, what am I supposed to do?" wondered Embrey.
No matter what he says, I can't just sit and wait for him to come. I need to go and look for him what if he is actually sick?"
Embrey could not wait any longer and decided to go to his house. she drives to Drake's House.
As she reached there she tries to open the door, but it was locked and the passcode did not match.
"Drake? Drake? I know you are in there? Please Open the Door! Please!".
Drake could listen to Embrey's Worried Voice he came near the door and said in a sour voice," What are you doing here? Did not I tell you that I Don't Need you".
Hearing Drake's Voice Embrey could feel He was not fine.
" I know, Drake, You don't need me but you are sick, please just come out, I won't ever talk about Joy, Please open the door", Begged Embrey.
" I said leave me alone, can't you understand that Embrey?" Yelled Drake as he punched the Door forcibly.
Embrey did not know what to do, but she can't leave him alone, he has locked himself in there, he is gonna kill himself this way. Anxious Embrey desperate to find a way to make him open the door Embrey angrily yelled at him.
" Fine, you won't open it, Okay, Then I would go to Joy Myself and would bring her back and show her what has she done to you, I am gonna do that Drake", said Embrey and turns to leave.
Before Embrey could walk away the door opens and Drake held Embrey's wrist forcibly and pulled her inside with force. he shut the door with force.
" Who do you think you are? huh? All of this is so easy for you right?" said Drake with anger in his eyes.
He was drunk and angry he held Embrey with force and was hurting her. Embrey tries to calm him down.
" I know Drake, It's not easy but you are gonna get through this, Everything would be okay Drake, Please don't hurt yourself", Said Embrey with tears in her eyes.
" What? Everything would be fine? nothing is going to be the same as before Embrey, and you need to know this that some wounds never heal no matter how much you tries, so Please just leave me on my own and get out before I hurt you" Yelled Drake.
" Okay, I will leave but let me check you once you don't look fine, I would leave after checking you," said Embrey.
Drake had no intensions of hearing Embrey he was drunk and angry. He jerked his hand and asked her to leave.
Embrey tries to hold his hand but Drake got so angry he took the Vass of glass near the door and threw it forcibly. The Vass hit against the door the glass pieces shattered everywhere.
the moment it hit the door a piece of glass hit Embrey's hand and it starts bleeding.
