Intimacy

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 17

Rosanna’s POV

I let out a muffled groan as I sat up on the hospital bed hours after Tara had told me about Charlie wanting to see me.

How could he even dare show up? After what he did.

The ward door opened and Tara got in.

“Ros? You’re up?” She asked coming closer to me.

“Yes, get me discharged, I wanna get out of here” I mouthed and she sat down beside me on the bed.

‘Why? You’re gonna be discharged tomorrow, not today” she inquired.

“I’m just tired of lying here, please get me discharged, I wanna leave this hospital” I insisted.

“But…”

“Please?” I cut her off and she stood up.

“I’m coming” she stated and left.

I sank my fingers into my hair and bent my head.

I can’t still really believe this happened to me. I never thought I’ll be losing my virginity like this, being forced on, by someone that is drunk?

And the worst of all is that it’s CB.

How did this happen?

I’ll have to leave this hospital if I wanna get rid of this pains, in order to forget this, I’ll have to go on with my normal daily life. I’ll have to try and forget this ever happened quick.

The door opened and Tara came in.

“You’re good to go, I’ve sighed the necessary papers needed to get you discharged” she said and I nodded and managed to drag my feet down the bed.

Last night, the pains I felt were the worst but it was more painful because it happened to be him.

I stood up and changed into the dress Tara gave to me. Even walking is a little bit difficult but I’ll manage, I’ll have to get over it.

Tara followed me and we passed through the backside of the hospital, Tara had made us pass there.

Then we got to the garage, got into the same car I was raped in, funny.

And then left.

We got home few minutes later, as we were about to go into the apartment we lived in, we heard a muscular voice.

Tara and I turned back and I saw my younger brother.

Huh! How come he is here?

“Matthew?” I called and watched as he walked up to me then he embraced me.

“I’m sorry for what happened Rosa, I didn’t believe my eyes when I saw the video, I didn’t believe it up until now” he said remosely and I turned to stare at Tara who has taken her face away.

“Tara? What video is he talking about?” I questioned curiously, suddenly getting scared.

Mike’s POV

When Charlie drove out speedily, I and few other guards got into another vehicle, a black van actually and followed after him.

He drove at a crazy speed and we were forced to follow.

Sometimes, he acts like a kid. He doesn’t think, he just act.

I’ve known him since, we actually schooled together, he never had friends up until now but I still stick by his side, one of the contracts his father made with me.

I’m not only his manager, if anything happens to him, I don’t think his father won’t spare my own family that’s the reason I’m always concerned about every little thing he does.

I regret it,I shouldn’t have left him yesterday.

I should have followed him yesterday night, secretly. I should just have.

Now the unexpected has happened.

The worst is that the news is everywhere, the video.

Now,I’ll have to be even more protective of him because like I said before, he acts without thinking.

He kept driving at a very fast pace valuating traffic rules and signs, we had no option, we had to break those rules too in other to catch up with him.

He continued driving going to some unknown place, it started becoming dark and he was still driving.

At a point he reduced the speed of his movement and finally stopped. He stopped on top of a bridge then he came down.

We were quick to also come down.

There were much breeze which blew sand up, it’s as if rain is gonna be coming down anytime soon.

I walked up to him and stopped, he was facing the ocean with his hands on the railings dividing the bridge from the ocean.

He didn’t bother turning to look at us but he knows we were behind him.

After a very terrifying silence, wondering what he was thinking, I decided to speak up.

“Charlie, you need to get back, it’s gonna rain anytime soon” I told him.

He didn’t reply or make any movement, he just continued starring at the ocean as if there was something in there he was searching for but then after a while he spoke up.

“You guys should leave me, I wanna be alone” his voice came out husky.

Charlie’s POV

“You guys should leave me, I wanna be alone” I hushed but as expected non of them moved.

“I said leave, I’m not asking you to leave me, I’m ordering you” I half yelled getting annoyed.

Why won’t they just let me be for once?

The guards stared at themselves and started moving back but Mike didn’t.

“Aren’t you listening to me? I want you to leave me” I groaned.

“I’m afraid I can’t CB” he retorted looking elsewhere.

“Alright then, if you don’t leave, consider yourself fired, you won’t work as my manager again” I told him blurtly and he looked at me in surprise.

He wasn’t expecting it – obviously.

This is the very first time I’ve threatened to fire him too.

He hasitated for a while before he took a step back then the next until he was far from me.

I took my eyes back to the ocean.

Maybe I should just do it, once I’m dead I won’t be able to feel this pain again, yes I won’t, it’s better I just end everything here.

It was supposed to be peaceful and quite but Mike and those stupid guards followed me. I was supposed to think in peace but nevertheless I’ll do it. I don’t think I will be able to live with her hating me.

Yes, this is me getting revenge for her. I hope she forgives me when she hears of my death, I thought sadly, really depressed, frustrated and useless. Yes I felt useless.

If she doesn’t want me,why should I just continue living?

Lemme just stop thinking and do it. The more I think about it, the more it’s hurts.

I held the railings of the bridge and released myself into the ocean.

As I was falling, I felt someone grab my hand.

“No, I won’t let you die Charlie. You won’t die on me” I heard Mike say.
