~~~ Agnes was shot on the chest by Adam. She fell down and died instantly. Everyone screamed loudly while others cried.
They looked in front and met Newton on the floor with Myles on his legs. Samantha was beside them watching the “Romeo and Juliet” drama.
Samantha and Myles had run just like flash to shield Newton. However, Myles was faster. Newton was saved by the bullet but Myles protected him, taking his place.
“Open your eyes. Everything will be fine…I promise” He had tears flowing.
“I’m glad her her threats were empty at the end…… I’m sorry I’m leaving so soon–
“Don’t say that! You won’t leave” He interrupted her whispering, fragile voice.
“Find someone else to stay with you. Too bad, This is my fate… Myles whispered, as her eyes started gently closing.
Samantha called the ambulance which took Myles to the hospital. Newton went with Myles.
Blaze and Brad drove Samantha’s family and Giselle to the hospital. Carly kept shivering and sobbing in fear.
“I hope nothing happens to her” Carly sobbed loudly.
“Everything is gonna be okay” Mr Brooklyn tried to enlighten her mood.
“If anything happens to her. It’s my fault!” Carly blurted
“Oh no! No! No… Gracious Goodness, Don’t ever say something like that again” Mrs Brooklyn frowned,tightly holding her hand.
“No… I’m right. If you think about it well. It’s actually my fault. I forced her to say things she would have kept a secret. Because of me, The case was reopened. I even promised her nothing would happen to her if she confessed all. What’s going to happen now? It’s certainly my fault. I should have kept still! Yet, I kept pushing it. Now, Can y’all see the results?”
“Hey? Carly… It’s okay. Nothing is gonna happen. Switch off the negative thoughts” Josh sighed
“Let’s just pray nothing would happen to her” Giselle chipped in.
“Yeah. I can’t agree more. Everything is well” Brad whispered. Samantha interlocked her fingers in deep thoughts.
“Everyone. Cheer up. I’m sure everything is going to be fine” Blaze said as he stepped on it, making the car drive with more speed.
~~~Immediately, They got to the hospital, They met Newton on the floor. He was crying loudly and badly.
“Hey? Hey? What’s it? Huh? What did the doctor say?” Mr Brooklyn asked touching him.
“…..She couldn’t make it. She died before we could reach the hospital…She’s in the mortuary right now” Newton cried loudly.
Everyone felt heart broken and most of them couldn’t hold their tears.
“Why did she have to die! It could have been me!!” Newton said.
Carly became disturbed and emotional. She cried her eyes out with her face on her father’s body.
“It’s my fault” She kept whispering. Her father held her close. Many sympathized with Newton though he was still going crazy by what had just happened. Samantha and Elle hugged each other in sadness.
“Dad… Carly whispered in a dry voice.
“What’s it hunny?” Mr Brooklyn asked. Carly inhaled deeply and touched her head.
“It’s really hurting me” Carly groaned.
“Huh? What’s that? Tell me?” Mr Brooklyn asked, frightened.
Carly couldn’t reply. It seemed her strength had left her. She squeezed her forehead with her hands, closing her eyes in pain. She suddenly started sweating.
“Hey? Sweetheart… You okay?” Mrs Brooklyn asked. Carly simply shaked her head.
“No… My eyes is dizzy. I’m kinda weak–Carly paused and fell down on the floor.
They shouted immediately. The others gathered around them.
“Call the doctor! Please!” Mrs Brooklyn yelled, shaking the unconscious Carly who laid on the floor.
Samantha was really scared. Josh ran to call the doctor while Samantha followed. She caught Newton running out through the entrance door.
“Where’s he off to?” Samantha thought and stopped. She continued looking at him, perplexed.
Her father noticed it and walked to her.
“Go… We will take it from here” He told her.
“Uhhh… No, Dad.. I was just–It’s nothing. I’m just gonna stay with Carly”
“No. Just follow him. Everyone is here for Carly. She’s gonna be fine. However, He’s lonely. No one is there for Newton. So, Go already”
“…….Thank you so much, Dad” Samantha whispered in tears. Mr Brooklyn nodded and hugged her tightly. He broke the hug and signalled her to run to him. Samantha nodded and didn’t hesitate to run out.
Soon, Carly was taken to the hospital ward. The nurses and Doctor came in to run few tests on her.
**********************
Samantha kept walking and walking but she couldn’t find Newton. The sun was setting already.
“Where could he be?” She looked around, running her eyes. After minutes of thinking, She finally thought of something unusual. Something he shouldn’t dare do!!!
“There’s no way…. He shouldn’t dare think of such!” She thought as she began running again.
“Please… Don’t kill yourself, Jeball!!” She cried out as she continued running, while the strong wind blew her long hair.
Samantha stopped, with a look of fear. She looked at the bridge before her and met Newton on it. He was standing staring at the clear sea. Many people were there, Taking photos and recording videos.
“Newton.. No! Please! Stop!!” She yelled running to him,pushing the foolish onlookers off the way.
He turned to her and sighed deeply.
“Why are you here again?” He whispered with this sore eyes,looking deeply at her.
“Again?” She was confused
“Yeah… “Again”. I know you were the Tomboy of 5 years ago–Don’t tell me you are here to save me again?” He asked
“……..Newton… Enough already! Don’t be like this!! It’s annoying!” She was crying already in a loud voice.
“Samantha… I’m sorry but you won’t be able to save me this time”
“Don’t say something like that–
“I caused her death! My mom’s death too! Why do I keep causing others to die!!”
“It’s not your fault! It was unexpected,Stop being delusional!”
“But I’m scared!!” He cried
“Why…should you be scared?”
“What if I cause you to die? Then, I think I might really go crazy out of confusion and self-hatred! So, It’s better I leave now” He was ugly-crying now.
“Newton!!”
“I don’t want anyone to die! Especially you! Don’t stop me… Because it isn’t gonna work”
“Please… Please, Listen to me” She wiped her flowing tears.
“Goodbye”
“No… No… Please, No”
“Samantha–
I’m sorry, But I love you” He smiled. Samantha watched as his legs left the bridge.
“Nooooooo!!!” She screamed as she ran to his falling body.
