My One And Only

When she had no idea but the moment she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the white ceiling with mini lights plastered onto it, lightning up the room.

She immediately sat up, looking around, trying to see where she was. She turned to her right, to look at her bandaid face in the glass wall.

She traced her face with both her hands, running the tips of her fingers on her forehead that was covered with a white bandaid. So was her lip corners, even her abdomen.

She had no idea where she was. But there was a thought in her head that what if Josh had got her and medicated her body into not gaining her senses back anytime soon.

She immediately got up, scrapped the saline off of her hand and got out of the bed, standing up, her eyes trained on the door wishing that it was not locked because she was in no position of jumping out the window again.

With very slow steady steps she walked closer towards the white-painted door and surprisingly it opened making her feel good although she was sceptical about what lies ahead of the opened doors.

She very slowly peeked outside the threshold of the door, trying to watch out if someone was there, guarding the place.

Josh might not take the chance of leaving her alone this time. He was a shrewd man, she knew that all along.

When she did not notice anyone, she very fearfully stepped out of where she was standing quietly for a good five minutes.

Her alert senses were everywhere as she continued moving forward, looking around, her eyes scanning every nook and corner of the hallway.

It was awfully quiet and that made her uncomfortable as she was always afraid of silence. But the lights were calming her panic state as she very daring kept strolling forward.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

She stepped down the stairs with tippy toes, her legs seemed like they would fall off anytime now. She felt extremely tired, her head started to pound, her eyelids barely kept themselves open as she somehow made it down the stairs carefully by holding onto the railing.

It was then exactly at that time, the lights went off making Tinsley stop on her spot right away.

The guards climbed up from downstairs to check up on the sleeping woman that their boss asked them to look after. The electricity outage was sudden.

When Tinsley heard the footsteps of someone approaching the hallway, her heart started beating rapidly against her chest.

She was caught in a fear loop as she saw a silhouette in the entrance of the hallway, she saw no escape route as she was aware that her tired feet would not be able to take her far away from that person.

“Who is there??”

Carlos shouted as he saw a shadowy figurine on the edge of the staircase. He remembered that there was no one in the condominium except for the sleeping woman upstairs.

Tinsley felt like she was caught once again and she roamed her eyes around to check if there was anywhere she could runoff too quickly, but all she saw was a big glass wall just in front of her and there was nowhere she could escape to if not surrender to the guard or take the chance of life and death and jump off.

When the steps got closer, her chest raised up and down, eyes moving back and forth from the glass wall to the person approaching her slowly and slowly.

She knew that there would be nothing to live for if she was caught. Josh would not spare her an easy punishment for trying to escape once again.

Her life was doomed already, there was nothing to look forward to, there was not much hope left that she could make it out alive from here. There was no one out there to protect her from the monsters.

Maybe… maybe it was time… time to end it for all good and bad times. Her eyes teared up as she could not believe herself that she was having thoughts of ending her life.

She felt so vulnerable that she could not think of any easy way out of here rather than ending everything, keeping her life at stake. Chance of life and death, it only seemed the way out.

So without thinking twice, she dashed forward, running away with all her might, hitting against the glass wall with enough force that she broke out of it.

“Hey… hey, stop right there…”

Even before Carlos could stop the woman as he discovered to be the more he got closer, the shattering sound of the glass was heard and he strode towards the edge, watching over the crazy lady falling down with her eyes closed, arms wide open.

The lights came back and it was only then Carlos could get a clear look at the falling figurine, she had wrapped a bandaid over her forehead.

He immediately ran up the stairs to check up on the woman if she was really there and when he saw the open doors and empty bed, drops of blood falling off from the saline tube, it was confirmed that she had just jumped off from the three-storey building.

He got out of there and alerted the guards downstairs to save the falling woman if they could even if it was too late then.

Tinsley closed her eyes as she felt her fragile body hitting the glass wall with the hardest force she could grasp for and breaking past it, glass pieces piercing through her exposed skin.

She found herself floating down the air as her red hairs flew freely, her eyes could see the dark sky fading in view as she felt the bright light in the down calling out for her with arms wide open.

It was then she did not see any reason to hold back herself and be hugged into that light, finding peace forever, she willingly submerged into that bright yellow light.
