“What?” Shane got worried.
“She tried to suicide!” I said. I said what I was asked to tell. I was playing my part of the drama well.
Shane’s
POV
“What the fu**? She tried to suicide.” I asked again as I was not even sure what I heard. I know my mom goes through mental breakdown all the time, but suicide? What the reason she needs to do that? “We should go now…” Sarah replied plainly.
“How is she? What has happened?” I had thousands of questions going in my mind.
“I don’t know much… Dad asked us to come…” she said again. I couldn’t believe the way she spoke even when our mom tried to suicide, and her boyfriend is in ICU. She is so calm and emotionless… That is so unlikely of her… “Shane, I can arrange a helicopter for you two,” Luke said.
“That’s great. But what about my car?” I asked. Luke was trying to avoid me for all these past days, but after this incident, he started to talk with me just fine.
“Don’t worry about that. I will send it with a driver.” Luke replied, and without waiting for me to respond, he took a call to someone to arrange a helicopter for us.
******
I took a call to dad, but he didn’t say much except asking us to come home, and mom is safe. I literally begged him to tell me what has happened, but he didn’t say anything. What has happened to dad? Why he acts this weirdly? Not just him who acts weirdly. Sarah refused to talk with me at all. She was just thinking all the time, and her quietness made me fu**ing angry. She became a totally different person since she came after going to the washroom. God knows what has happened to her.
How excited she was when I said we are going to stay in the hospital, but now she seemed like she doesn’t even care what happens to Jake anymore. I even told her that I will go home alone and asked her to stay in the hospital. But she insisted she must go home. Everyone made me really confused and worried. I am so damn worried about both Jake and my mom, but now I have to worry about dad and Sarah as well… God! I should have stayed as the old Shane, who doesn’t give a s**t about anything. Even when he worries about something, he could get drunk and fu** someone to free his mind. Caring and loving people is so damn hard.
However, we reached home quickly, thanks to Luke.
I ran to my mom’s room as soon as we reached home. Sarah was following me too, but she didn’t have any rush… Mom was lying on her bed, and dad was sitting next to her.
“What has happened…” I ran to mom and took her hand. “My Shane…” she said weakly.
“She took sleeping tablets to kill herself, but fortunately, I found her in the process and stopped her.” dad said.
“Why you didn’t take her to the hospital, dad? Is it safe to keep her home?” I asked worriedly. I couldn’t understand the calmness in dad when mom has done this much of a foolish thing. Maybe he doesn’t want to make her upset now.
“If she is taken to a hospital, it becomes a huge process. Don’t you know, trying to suicide is also a crime. I called our family doctor. He did what needed to be done…” dad replied.
“Why, mom? Why you tried to do something like that? Why did you want to leave all of us…” I took her hand to my chest and kept it right on where my heart is. She looked exhausted…
I felt really sad for her. She has worked too much all her life. She hardly had any free time. She rarely had a chance to enjoy… My poor mom…
“I love you, my darling. I didn’t want to leave you…” she said weakly.
“Then why you did this mom, don’t you know how much I love you?” I asked. No matter how cruel my mom can be, she is still my mom, and I love her.
“I am too tired to live, darling… I am just too tired… I have no energy left to keep on fighting.” mom said, smoothly caressing my face.
“This bit** made my life hell… She threw away the only chance to make everything right for us.” then she said, pointing to Sarah, who was staring at us, standing by the door. This time her voice tone has completely changed. She was burning in anger as soon as she saw Sarah…
I looked at Sarah worriedly. I know how she feels in this type of situation. But today her face looked utterly emotionless… Her expressions were totally blank.
“Mom, please don’t tell like that…” I tried to say.
“If she marries Mr. Patterson, our whole family wins. We can have everything we want without lifting a finger. But what she did. She is fu**ing stubborn… ” when she started blaming, Sarah, the weakness in her voice seemed to be disappeared. “It’s okay, honey… We can talk about these later. You have to take some rest…” dad said, interrupting her.
“Shane… This is the final outcome of depression… You knew that she is taking medicine for that. Now stop making her tired.” the dad told me.
At the same time, I heard our doorbell rang…
“I will go…” I said, after keeping a small kiss on mom’s forehead and ask her to sleep well…
Sarah moved a bit away from the door, giving me space to go. She was just staring at mom blankly. God! Has she gone crazy? Is that why she acts this weird? After everything she has to go through, there is a possibility of she getting mad, right? Thinking and worrying about both my sister and mom, I opened the door to find the devil himself.
“What the fu** are you doing here?” I barked at Patterson, who was at our doorstep.
He smiled…
“Is that the way to greet your visitors?” he asked coolly.
“Greet!!! Of course, I was waiting to greet you.” I grabbed his shirt color.
“You, A**hole, how dare you to come here again after everything you did?” I yelled at him, shaking him. He is a muscular person, but with all the hard exercises and practices, I am stronger than him. Also, he was super calm, he didn’t even protest. I was about to show my fist on his face when Sarah shouted at me.
“Shane!!! Stop!!!”
“I am not going to stop today. I am going to show him what he deserves.” I said, shaking him again.
“Shane, stop that. I am the one who asked him to come here.” Sarah yelled at me again.
“What?” I couldn’t even believe what I heard. I released my grip on his shirt automatically.
“Yes… Let him come…” she replied casually.
“What the fu**? Are you insane?” I asked angrily.
“I am in the right mind, Shane,” she said indifferently.
“Why you asked him to come.” trying my best not to slap her and bring her back to her usual self.
“I asked him to come because…”
“Because she is soon to be my loving wife…” that bastard completed what Sarah was going to say.
“What The Fu**?” I shouted involuntarily.
I went to her and grabbed her from her shoulder.
“What the fu** this a**hole is talking about?” I yelled at her.
“He is telling the truth,” she said calmly, looking to my eyes.
“What? Come back to your senses, Sarah… He is the one who is behind Jake’s accident, I am sure about that.” I said, trying to wake her up from this stupid state.
