Xavier grabbed Daisy hand's with all his might and pulled her into his chest, her back collided with his abs and a scorching pain flew down her throat.
Her chest pounding.
Blinking furiously.
Confusion.
Betrayal, too many mixed feelings hitting her hard squarely from different angles. She did admit her feelings for Xavier blossomed faster than anyone has ever experienced, rather, faster than she has ever tasted.
Her doubt's slowly turning clearer.
She rubbed her flat stomach and inhaled deeply, struggling to breath out carbon dioxide.
A giggle broke the silence.
Her eyes landed on April.
Not knowing what to do, she grabbed the bottle of alcohol from Xavier's brother Ace and gulped it in one go, tasting the bittersweetness of it hauling around her throat.
She only left for few months, three month to be precised, to be treated and bounce back to her no depressing self and he's about to be engaged to her best friend.
She could already feel the little light of hope dying, her slender legs shook and as April took bold steps forward in mockery, Daisy fought for dominance in Xavier restrained grip.
He turned her around to meet his dangerous gaze which today was fool of regrets and hopelessness.
Daisy slowly drifted back to what happened the last time.
FlashBack
Lying on the bed and glaring at the multiple colors of tablet seating in the transparent cup, waiting to be taken.
What? Don't you what to get better soon April asked, sounding indifferent.
Daisy pouted unhappily and let out a malicious giggle after a short moment of silence.
Daisy was ready to confide in April, the confidence was there ready to be used. She didn't want April to think what she was about to say was the reason for her smiles, nonetheless its actually the opposite but none of that matters at the moment.
A shy smile creep up to her blushing cheeks.
When she began the treatment, she suddenly developed some symptoms that was instantly crossed out by the doctors to be weird.
She was forced into taking a general test and it came out positive.
Daisy was pregnant.
You're pregnant, April screeched, but, why?
April response shocked Daisy.
As if noticing what she said, April instantly bounced to her feet and engulfed Daisy in a deathly embrace with anger filled in her heart.
April Sat back down and clapped her hands together, her mind plotting. She doesn't want Daisy's baby, he or she to be born, especially not now that she's pregnant with Xavier's child.
A month before Daisy left for the treatment, Xavier had gone to April for help and, he asked her to help him propose to Daisy.
She lured him into staying back and having dinner with her that night, and succeeded in drugging him which resulted to her pregnancy.
She crossed her hands on her chest and intentionally wore a worry look on her face.
Daisy who noticed this asked, what's wrong April.
You won't believe me if I tell you.
Daisy sat upright, and threw her legs to the cold floor.
Try me April.
April sighed in despair but when Daisy wasn't looking at her, she smirked at her with an evil smile dancing around her face.
Its about Xavier.
Daisy eyes turned brighter at the mention of her boyfriends name, she let out a quick giggle and started throwing her legs back and forth, while her small hands rested on the sheets of the bed.
I think you should have an abortion.
Daisy's action stopped and a pang hit her chest, she turned to her best friend in shock.
That's impossible April.
How could you ask me to do something so sinful she muttered lowly, protecting her unborn child with her hands.
April hurriedly said, am doing this for you.
You are not making any sense April.
Xavier is my boyfriend, I love him just as much as he loves me, why should I break the bond we share by doing something he'll never forgive me for.
Daisy, Xavier is a coward, he--- Sandy is Pregnant with his child and that was why she dropped out of school and relocated to a different country.
Daisy it's just a child, you can have another with a man who'll love you whole heartedly without deceit.
End of Flash Back
After the abortion appointment with the doctor, accompanied by her best friend, that was the last time April visited Daisy at the hospital, she cut off every communication with her and blackmailed Xavier into doing the same thing.
Daisy's treatment of one month suddenly turned turned three months when she became worse and constantly kept crying and screaming to be let out.
She couldn't believe her best friend not only lied to her but she plotted against her and she was too blind to see it.
Although she was mentally unstable, she side step a down casted Xavier and matched up to April, her eyes meeting Aprils green eyes.
April may have succeeded in riling her into loosing her sanity but she will surely not be the only one to taste this experience alone.
She looked down to Aprils swollen belly and smirked.
Daisy's sudden happy spirit left April to be dumbfounded.
She scoot her mouth closer to April and whispered, am glad I never killed my unborn baby.
She quickly stepped back, knowing April is one to bite back in action.
Xavier her boyfriend walked closer to his girl and wrapped his tattooed hands protectively around her tommy.
Their action didn't go unnoticed by a shocked but fuming disoriented April, who smashed the glass cup in her hands to the ground.
The pain in her body looked like she had just been bitten by a venomous snake, paralyzed.
When she cut off the communication between her and Xavier, she took that opportunity to build a new bond with him.
She was sure she succeeded with that.
Only now did she know, as much has she plotted against her best friend Daisy, she has been played by the two people she thought she had wrapped around her fingers.
She knew she was not that good looking and no one will want a baggage like her, slowly she began shivering and fell to her knees crawling towards Daisy.
She wrapped her hands firmly around Daisy's legs and pleaded with her in tears to let Xavier come with her.
She apologized for betraying Daisy and vouched to never repeat it.
Suddenly, April stood up as if realizing her actions, her eyes frantically looked everywhere and she kept muttering, I did nothing wrong spiking his drink.
I clenched my fist together ready to break her nose but Xavier stopped me by kissing my temple and rubbing my waist to sooth me.
I guess April never expected I would let Xavier fall into her laps without a fight, what was she thinking? That he meant nothing to me.
Months ago when she came to me with the absurd reasons, Xavier came in after she left, unfortunately he overheard all she said and instantly confessed his crimes to me.
I was overwhelmed by his confessions but forgave him still and together we decided to play along till this day.
Get ready, Xavier whispered to Daisy.
For what?
Just as she asked that, four hefty men rushed in, they brought into the wedding hall a medical bed and everyone made way for them, April on seeing them started screaming and dragging anyone for help, her behavior matched an insane person.
I smirked, watching her effort and call for help fail.
She was quickly grabbed and strapped but because she kept trudging around, the nurse tagging along injected her.
Immediately the needle kissed her skin, April raised her head to look at me and whispered I only wanted to be loved by a handsome man even iif-----
She didn't get to finish her sentence as she passed out lowering her head.
A strange emotion crawled to my heart and I find myself sympathizing with her, I shook my head to rid it off.
I rested my full weight on Xavier blocking out April's guest mumblings, I sighed tiredly and mumbled to myself, I guess what goes around, comes around.
