章節 12: LEILANI

LEILANI'S POV

I walked out of the hospital with a big sigh.

I am really tired of everything.

I looked to the dark sky, then the busy street, and walked towards a taxi that was parked right in front of the hospital with a man - the driver eating a doughnut and leaning on the car.

"You're going?", He asked seeing me walk towards him and I realized his face was all scarred, giving him a super scary face. I was dead for a few seconds before coming back alive.

"Sorry about the scars on my face", he said and I gave him a small smile.

"Why will you be sorry? Accidents do happen", I said trying to convince him, I wasn't scared of his face when I am actually shit scared.

"Where are you headed?", he asked.

"Uhh...", I muttered rethinking my decision of taking his taxi.

"Flourish street, no 10 ", I said.

"Alright madam, that would be 200", he said opening the backdoor of the car.

I looked around one more time but went in.

I pulled in my earphones once the car had hit the road to enjoy the not short ride and the not long ride to my house. I noticed the windows were suddenly whined up but ignored it simply because I felt it should be that way.

I suddenly perceived a smell that stirred my stomach which got me to realize something was wrong.

"Sir can you whine the windows down? ", I asked looking at the man and I realized he had a nose cover on. His eyes looking at me through the front mirror.

What the hell??

"Stop the car", I said, starting to feel nauseous.

"Stop the car", I said my eyes having their moment of shut down and my energy going down fast.

I realized he intended to hurt me and I tried opening the door but it wouldn't open.

"Help me", I screamed hitting the car's window as my eyes watch the people outside the car quickly vanishing due to the speed of the car.

"Help me", I cried losing my voice.

Was he the killer??

Am I about to die??

I looked to the front mirror hoping to see the man's face again but he wasn't looking at me and I fell to the seat dead.

*******

I sat on the roof drunk. Shit drunk.

That was it. I thought I had died. Now I am going to die.

I am currently waiting for my parents, Bianca, Jason, Jake, and the police officers to be here.

"What's taking them so long", I suddenly heard a voice in my ear. I couldn't get used to the airpord in my ear yet and I'd never had the chance to get used to it.

"I...I, I.. don't know", I stammered totally drunk.

The murderer has decided to make history with my death. He wasn't gonna kill me, I'm gonna kill myself using his own game.

A bright light shining on my face made me realize they were here and I began to cry.

I was gonna die.

"Get up", the voice yelled and I hurriedly did but staggered almost falling off the roof, but I hurriedly got a grip of myself.

"Now walk around the roof while drinking the alcohol until I tell you to stop", He said and I picked up the half-empty bottle beside my leg.

"Lei", I heard Brie scream and I looked down to see everyone down there looking scared and worried. The floor looked farther now.

"Darling what are you doing there?", My Mom asked.

JAKE'S POV

I froze seeing Leilani on the roof. I didn't expect ....She looked drunk.

So drunk and I am so sure something was gonna go wrong.

"What are you doing?", Officer Elle yelled at her.

Leilani drank from the bottle and took a step forward.

"What's she doing ?", Her mom asked really worried.

"What do you think you're doing? ", Officer Matthew yelled at her getting frustrated.

"Is there a way we can get in?", Jason asked her parents.

"Yes", Her dad hurriedly said and led the way. Jason followed with Officer Carl and Matthew as well as her mum.

This is dangerously interesting.

Leilani walked slowly and gradually on the roof and somehow I was scared for her.

BIANCA'S POV

I don't get why she would go on the roof drunk and walk around it.

Geez!

An idea popped into my head and I hurried to Officer Kelvin.

"We could like get a mattress. Incase she falls, she'd fall on it", I said to him and he nodded positively in agreement and went to Officer Elle. They discussed real quick and asked me and Jake to go with them into the house and Brie watch her.

BRIE'S POV

"Lei what's wrong with you?", I questioned really confused at the fact that she was doing all this.

"I'm sorry", she cried and kept walking as I followed her.

"You can't understand", she said back and almost staggered off the roof and I screamed in fear but she got a grip of herself.

"Geez Leilani get off, go back in", I screamed at her as tears were fighting their way out of my eyes.

I followed her gradually as she made the first turn of the roof successfully.

"Here", I heard Elle say and I turned seeing the rest hurry with two mattresses.

Kelvin and Bianca handled one and Elle and Jake handled one.

I smiled relieved at the fact that her safety is guaranteed with a few percent.

"Get off", Elle said to her.

"I can't, I have to complete 5 rounds or I'll die", Leilani said walking ahead, Kelvin and Bianca followed her closely. Incase she falls.

"Why do you have to?? Is someone telling you to?", Kelvin asked curiously.

They shouldn't investigate someone who's about to die.

"I can't tell you anything", She said and we were all worried but followed her closely with the mattress.

She completed her second round and if what she had said was right, she has three more to go.

Everyone was so tensed.

Every single body.

We'd all gasp and scream if she was about to fall, heave if she gets herself right back.

She completed the third round and I just kept praying she'd be done safely.

LEILANI

I was feeling dizzy now, I really wanted to throw up, I really wanted to sleep and my eyes were starting to close, my staggers increased as I wasn't sure if I was walking on something or flying in the air. My eyes were starting to see about five of the same object and maybe things got beautiful a bit, I could swirl like Cinderella.

My tears would suddenly turn to laughter and the way I walked doesn't matter anymore and a few minutes later I'd realize what was going on and I'll cry and be careful and be scared to walk.

The wicked man had told me if I complete five rounds, he'd let me go and go after Bianca.

Who cares?

This is my life and I have to fight for it.

I suddenly heard the door to the roof jerking like someone was forcing it to open.

Geez!

They shouldn't save me until it's up to five yet and I kind of hastened my footstep before they break it open - I had locked it when I came to the roof due to orders from the man.

I completed the fourth one and I was eager to finish up so I can jump on the mattress and live my life until-

"Leilani", I heard Jason call and I turned to look at him.

"Don't come here", I said walking ahead.

"What are you saying? I'm here to save you", He said but I refused to talk but focus on what I was doing.

"Look what's up?", He said and I could tell he was walking towards me.

"Please let me be", I yelled at him turning to him and I almost fell but he held me back into a hug really tight. I guess he was scared I'd have fallen.

I was so scared.

His hug was really tight and comforting!

Bianca really does have good arms to cry on.

"Why are you doing this?", He asked slowly releasing me.

"I have to complete 5 rounds", I calmly said.

He looked at me and noticed the airpord in my ear.

He sighed understanding what it meant.

"What round is this?", he asked.

"I'm going through the last round ", I simply said.

"I'll help you go through the last round", he said and I nodded positively.

Whatsoever I had drank started to kick in and I was really grateful Jason was there. It became really difficult to walk and my eyes were involuntarily closing.

Immediately, I completed the fifth round, I totally lost it and dropped into Jason's arms lifelessly. Guess he didn't expect that to happen, he lost his balance and fell off the roof with me.

I opened my eyes for a moment to see and I realized I was flying on a wonderful body.

And-

Soon enough, we landed on a really hard bed and I lost my consciousness.
