Chapter 57 ANN PAST(9): CALL THE FUCKING AMBULANCE!!!
Silver was angry when Ann had refused to come home with her, without telling her where she was going. Although she admitted it was all her fault that she didn’t give her a chance to speak before she left and when she arrived home yesterday, she made up stories for Ann’s parents just to cover Ann up. She tried calling Ann when she got home but her phone was switched off and she couldn’t reach her neither could she trace her location yesterday. She had sleepless night thinking about where Ann could be and when she thought that she might be with Lorenzo, that’s when he showed up by twelve o’clock in the mid night. She asked Lorenzo if he went out with Ann and his response was that he hadn’t seen her since the day she left his hostel and that was on Thursday before the graduation day on Friday. Again, she tried calling Ann but her calls keeps getting denied and when she told Lorenzo about, she expected him to react and probably call the cops about Ann missing because it seems so strange that Ann line couldn’t be reachable but he showed less concern about it and asked her to go the bed after convincing her that Ann must have reached home by now and she might be tired or they ran out of power so that’s why her Ann;s phone is switched off. Lorenzo gave her enough reasons why she shouldn’t be worried about Ann but that wasn’t enough as she still felt bothered about it. She shouldn’t have let her go without knowing where she was going that evening. She called Ann’s mother to be sure about what Lorenzo had said about Ann being home by now but they said Ann isn’t home yet and she thought she must be in her place by now and in order to avoid her mother from panicking in fear of Ann out there alone in the dark, she had to lie to Ann mother that she is with her. At first she didn’t believe so she asked why she called her. Silver felt so bad that she had to lie to Ann’s parent again, wondering that something bad must have happened to her but she shove it off her head as she knew she was just imagining things because she was worried. When Ann’s mom woke her up from her daze with her voice she said they were playing a truth or dare game that Ann dared her to call. Ann mother just heaved a deep sigh then admitted that she did scared the crap out of her before she hang up the call.
Silver fell back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, wondering where Ann could be if she wasn’t with Lorenzo.
Presently, Silver got a call from Ann and was excited at first but ignored her calls. She wanted to put her in the blackmail list to teach her a lesson after what she did to her yesterday but the urge to know where she went was pondering in her mind. She needed to know where Ann went without her phone and without leaving no trace of where she was last night. She knew Ann very well that she hardly goes anywhere without leaving a trace and if this had to happen, it means something is wrong somewhere and she didn’t seem to notice it last night because she was so angry at her best friend Ann. After having second thoughts about it, she called Ann in order to give her a piece of her mind but before she could speak Ann said, “I’m sorry Silver but please come get me out of here before I die”. She hung up immediately and within a second a GPS address was sent to her, it was an address to her house. She felt like it was a serious emergency because Ann’s voice sounded as if she was in danger. She was so scared about how weak Ann’s voice sounded in the call, Ann has never sounded like that. She quickly stood up from the bed, took off and night gown and changed into a blue dress without even having her bath as she was in a haste. She grabbed her purse from the drawal and rushed out of her room.
“I’m going out, Lorenzo, please tell mom that I went to Ann’s place when she comes back”, Silver yelled at his room door as she knew her mother had gone out for a morning walk with the pets.
Lorenzo opened the door and pulled out his luggage before he locked his room,”You will have to call mom and tell her”. He said and Silver paused and glanced at him, surprised. “I’m traveling to Italy, remember?”. He remarked and she muffled a ‘oh’.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“But you told me your flight leaves tonight, so why leave now?”. Silver asked and stared at him suspiciously, she felt like he was trying to run away just like he used to do when they were kids. Whenever he had troubles he would pack his things and run out of the house until the problem was solved.
“Something came up”. He simply said and Silver just shoved the thought aside as she remembered that he’s a grown up man now and he must have changed from his old childish self. “And how is Ann?”. Lorenzo asked just to avoid Silver’s question.
“She just called me now and that’s why I’m going to see her”. Silver said.
“Well is she okay?”. Lorenzo asked.
“I don’t know for now Lorenzo, you should come with me to check because she’s your girlfriend”. Silver suggested.
“No, I’m good”. Lorenzo said and Silver didn’t bother to force him to come along with her because she was already running out of time.
She wasn’t in the mood to ask him for reasons, maybe when she gets to Ann’s house she will ask her to explain everything to her. “Okay bye I have to go”. She said and quickly scurried out of the house to the roadway. She called a uber driver and in a few seconds he drove in and she entered immediately before he zoomed off.
Few minutes later, they arrived at their destination before she alighted from the car and paid him off. She strode towards Ann’s house but stopped when she saw a group of crowd gathered on the sidewalk, murmuring words that she couldn’t hear clearly. She remembered she heard some distant voices when she called Ann so she could be there as she is a fan of gossip. She thought about it for a few seconds before she decided to go check if Ann was there before she would go straight to Ann’s house if she couldn’t find her in the crowd.
“Shameless woman, you deserve to die before you go out there to corrupt the young girls in our society”.
Silver heard a woman voiced out as she approached the crowd “What’s happening here?”. She asked but nobody gave her a response as everyone was so lured to their phone as they video what was being displayed in front of their view. She became eager to know who the woman was referring to so she nudged her way through the crowd until she got in to see the person everyone was filming.
Her eyes widened in shock while her jaw dropped open in disbelief, it was Ann in a pool of blood who was gradually losing consciousness as she was bleeding. Tears clouded in her eyes on seeing that no one made an attempt to save her life nor even care to call an ambulance as they were all busy recording her as she slowly loose her life.
Silver fell on her knee and pulled Ann up to her chest then engulfed her in a tight hug before she screamed in rage,”CALL THE FUCKING AMBULANCE YOU FOOLS!!!”.
