Amanda thought
this was a joke, which Andy was playing on her, as he always used to play
pranks on her. But he looked really serious.
"What do you
mean?" asked Rebecca, as she stared at him in disbelief.
"You heard what
I said!" yelled Andy.
"Rebecca, just
relax he's just playing one of his pranks, he always loves doing this to me…
don't you?"
Andy just
turned around towards Amanda and just stared at her.
"No! I
don't…you just don't get it do you – I am leaving you!"
Amanda could
feel her heartbreak. If this was one of Andy's jokes, then she didn't need
them, not right now, not at a time like this and especially not a joke like
this. She needed Andy to be with her at a time like this. She had just lost
everything.
"If you're
saying this to get back at me, because I lost our baby, then its fine, be angry
at me, but don't leave
me" begged Amanda, as she tried to get up from her bed. But she couldn't, she
was too weak, to get up.
"Do you
honestly think that I care about you losing the baby?"
Akbal and
Rebecca were shocked at what Andy was saying to Amanda. Everything that Andy
was saying, had hit Amanda like a tonne of bricks. She just froze. Rebecca went up
to Andy and pushed him, and demanded to know what he was talking about and why
he was doing this, but he just stood there grinning at them.
"I never loved
you Amanda… all I was after was your money, but you lost that as well didn't
you"
Amanda didn't
say anything. She just stayed in that same position. She didn't even move a
muscle or anything. It was like as if it wasn't Amanda sitting there, it was
her statue.
"Amanda…Amanda
say something!!!" yelled Rebecca, as she went up to Amanda. Tears were flowing
from her eyes, but Amanda just sat there, in her bed.
"Just look at
her, she's useless and pathetic" Andy just kept on grinning at the state of Amanda;
he didn't feel sorry for her or anything. He never loved her, he was only using
her, and he was only after her money. That she had lost to her uncle, through
trickery and deceit.
"What did you
just say?" asked Rebecca.
"To be honest I
don't know why I am wasting my time here" said Andy, as he just stared at both
Amanda and Rebecca.
"SLAP!!!" Just as Andy turned to leave the room, Akbal
slapped Andy, a guy older and much stronger than she was. She must have hit him
really hard, as the slap had left a red imprint on the side of his face. There
was a small cut at the end of his lip, from where small specks of blood were
coming from. It had certainly wiped the grin off Andy's face. Akbal clinched
her fist in anger. She could feel pain
in her hand after slapping Andy, but it didn't affect her, as the pain was
nothing compared to how angry she was feeling.
The slapped
enraged Andy and he was about to retaliate, but before he could, Judy came into
the room.
"What the hell
is going on in here – This is a hospital!" yelled Judy. Everyone on in the area
of the hospital could here the screaming and yelling coming from the room.
Andy ignored
Judy, but also realised that he couldn't do anything at the moment to Akbal, so
he just walked out, but as he walked out he just stared at Akbal.
"I will get you
back for this" Andy just wiped the specks of blood off his lip and stared at
his hand and then just walked out of the room.
Rebecca was
just about to go after Andy, when Akbal screamed out Amanda's name. Rebecca
turned towards Amanda and saw that Amanda had collapsed on to her bed. Her eyes
were closed and she wasn't moving at all. Judy ran out of the room to get some
help, while Rebecca cried out for Amanda.
"Take Rebecca
out of the room" instructed Judy, to Akbal.
Rebecca was
beside herself; she just couldn't control herself and just kept on screaming
out for Amanda, while Akbal took her out of the room. Akbal herself was
starting to cry to. Amanda was like a big sister to her. She always looked out
for her. Now it all came down to this, Amanda had suffered so much in such a
small time and now her life was in danger. But these thoughts where
interrupted, when Akbal saw Rebecca stand up and about to walk away.
"Where are you
going?" asked Akbal.
"I'll be right
back, you just stay here" replied Rebecca as she turned towards Akbal. She
didn't know why, but Akbal had a feeling that Amanda was going to do something drastic;
she could see it in her eyes. Was she going after Andy, Akbal asked herself?
"I'm coming
with you"
"No-I want you
to stay here with Amanda…I'll be right back"
But before Akbal could say or do anything,
Rebecca ran down the lobby and towards the exit. She had gone after Andy.
