That guy was really bleeding alot, I thought for sure he was going to die you know. I never doubt Dr May, I know he can save anyone, he's so talented, Maddie clasped her hands together and placed them on her cheek, a bright smile appearing on her face as she floated in her mind paradise, neither of them noticed Penny glancing at her.
Anyways, Rose shook her head, pitying her friend for being head over heels in love with someone who didn't love her back. My sister went on a date sometime last month, she said the guy was cute but she just kind of forgot about him. Only to find out that he's like super loaded, so she's gonna try get a second chance, wow, your sister is such a gold digger, they giggled, is he like an older guy. No, he's like nepo's age, they might even know each other. Penelope wasn't paying attention the whole time, but that was enough to pique her interest, she placed her feet firmly on the floor stopping herself from twirling with her wheeled chair.
Here, she sent me a picture from his instagram, let me check. As Rose scrolled through her camera log, Penny felt like she had knots in her chest, her breath hitched a little, it was as if her body was warning her that she was in for a shock. Oh wow, he is cute, do you know him Penny, Maddie turned the phone to her.
Penny flew up, her chair rolling to the other side of the reception, cold sweat trickled down her face as she gasped for air, a shivering wave of fresh air waved past her as she stumbled her way to the toilet. Hey Penny, are you alright, she heard Maddie walk in as she sprinkled water on her face.
I'm fine, I was just feeling a bit uneasy, she forced a smile after wiping her face. Are you sure, Maddie's suspicion's were verified when Penny backed up as she reached for her. I should probably tell her, or who knows Rose's sister might be next, Penny convinced herself as her coworker worried.
Oh my gosh, he kidnapped you, Maddie gasped upon hearing the story, and that's not all, we found out he planned our meeting from the start. He was never a nerd, or bullied, in fact he was the bully, that was the second time I got hurt because of him, things were getting dangerous, so that's why despite the restraining order, I had to go with my dad, Penny sighed. I'm so sorry you had to go through that, all that trauma coming frrom a close friend must have been worse, it's okay, that was a long time ago. She had a sad smile on her face, you never really know who people are until they show you, would you like a hug, Maddie queried throwing her arms up, Penny hugged her softly as she patted her back.
Oh, you've already changed, let me just finish this and then we can go. No need, I actually came to tell you to leave without me, Jackson's going to drop me off. That loverboy boyfriend of yours, and his unstable bike, Patrick arched an eyebrow, I can't stand guys with bikes I don't know how you do it, he shook his head disappointed.
Patty, you bike is literally still in the garage, she scoffed. Don't try to wait until you see him, just go home and have dinner ready before I get back, okay Patty?, see you, she skipped away.
You didn't leave with Dr May today, Rose swayed around, her body language screaming she had something to say. No, I have a date with my boyfriend, Penny beamed, do you have something to say. Yes, she replied swiftly, I heard what happened to you, I'm really sorry you had to go through all that at such a young age, such betrayal from your best friend must have been hard, it's fine, it was a long time ago.
Also, I had no right to treat you so badly, as your senior I was supposed to help you fit in here, and teach you what I know, but I did the opposite. Bottom line is, you're really good at your job, so you definitely deserve to be here, I'm sorry for being mean to you. It's fine, you don't need to apologize, I also understood where you were coming from, I hope we can put all this behind us and become friends. Huh huh, Penny had her arms wide open awaiting a hug, come on, I'm a hugger, so if we're going to be friends you'll have to get used to it. Also, I heard you don't have any siblings, I and Madds will be your elder sisters from today onwards, Rose smiled after the hug.
Why is he not texting me back, I need to get home soon, she stared at the unread text she sent to Jackson a while ago. Penny took one step after the other, the tap tap of her boots echoed with the nights breeze, the area Patrick's clinic was located was rather lonely at night. She called and texted her boyfriend repeatedly, but to no avail. The hairs at the back of her neck stood up, that familiar cold shiver and goosebumps all over her body as a black car, as dark as the night halted right beside her.
What is this, why can't I move my body, Penny thought to herself as her breath shivered, cold sweat pouring down her face, her heart beating like it was going to rip her apart and jump out. Who was this devil that made her react like this. Her breath shuddered as the tall frames footsteps echoed through the night, it was just her and this stranger, no soul in sight, and ontop of that she couldn't even move for some reason.
She gasped for air as she felt the dark shadow loom over her, he was right behind her, and still she couldn't move. Pen, is that you, the voice said excited, yes the voice was definitely deeper, but there was only one person who called her Pen. It is you, he moved to her front as she was not turning, causing her to stumble to the ground, breathing as if she had been holding her breath for thirty minutes.
Pen, are you okay, she slapped his hand away as he tried to help her up stumbling back to her feet, trying to catch her breath. Back on her feet again she felt a sudden wave of confidence, and fearlessness. What do you want Steven, she gave him a look of disgust, oh, I saw you as I was driving by, I thought my eyes must've been playing a trick on me, but then I figured if Riele was back you must be back to, he beamed. How did you know she was back, were you keeping an eye on us, whatever, I should leave, wait, his voice suddenly turned from enthusiastic to apologetic.
She turned to see him with his head hung low. All those years ago, I was supposed to be your friend, someone to rely on, believe in, and trust, instead I built our friendship on lies and deceit. It took me a while to see what terrible things I had done, but when I did it was too late, everything was over, after seeing you today it must be fate, he smiled sadly. I have to use this change to apologize, he got on his knees, which left Penny who was squinting through his new ruse, with wide eyes. You may probably never forgive me Pen, but I just want you to know that I'm sorry. Penny watched him on his knees and his head hung low for a while, it was oddly soothing, she knew he felt no remorse after all he did so seeing him like this made her happy, he finally felt bad.
I forgive you, you can get up, she let out after some time, what really, but why, he wanted to rush to her but restrained himself. You finally see how wrong you were, that's enough for me, but that doesn't mean we can be friends again, she smiled as his face dropped, she remembered how much she used to tease him. I just can't do that again so yh, wait at least let me give you a lift, it's really late, no no it's fine I'll go on my own. He rushed to the door and opened it hoping she'd hop in anyway's. Penelope's eyes widened as she let out a soft gasp, no need, I'll just go home, she let out and ran off.
Penny, what's wrong, you seem lost, I'm not lost, I'm found, she muttered. What, Patrick scrunched his brows, you've barely touched your food, and now you're talking nonsense, tell me what's wrong, he insisted. I saw Steven today, she let out after taking a deep breath. What, Patrick fumed, I let him off last time because he was a minor, but now he's really asking for it, I'm gonna beat him to a pulp, he cracked his knuckles and stood up from the dinner table. He was with Riele, Riele as in, your useless boyfriend's sister Riele?, he halted and looked back.
He's not useless, but yes Jackson's sister, I don't know if I told you, but she had a huge crush on Steven, she hated me because I was closest to him. I thought after what happened she stopped liking him, but I guess I was wrong.
