Chapter 6
Hattie was still in dream land when she heard a knock on the door
"Come in" she voiced out
Aida walked in with a grin on her face, she seemed quite excited
"And who was that?" she took the time to take a seat
"Who was who?"
"That fine gentlemen that walked out of here"
"Oh that's Javier"
"He came for therapy?"
"No he didn't"
"Ohhh" Aida said with a smirk. Hattie already knew what she was thinking
"Oh wipe that smirk off your face, he is just a friend" Hattie noted playfully
"If you say so" she shrugged "How are coping?" her eyes changed and was filled with sympathy
"Am doing Ok, you don't have to worry about me"
"What really happened?"
It was there Hattie realised that she never told her what really happened, she just told her that Westin died
"Westin was cheating on me" Hattie blurted out
"Oh dear" she didn't seemed surprised "he did seem like someone who would cheat"
"I know right. Well he cheated"
"So what happened"
"I was asleep when I got a text" Hattie paused as she swallowed hard
"it was pictures of Westin and another girl"
"How could he?"
"The person sent me pictures of different tools. The person wanted to kill westin and I was asked to choose a weapon. Well to cut the story short, the person who texted me was the same person that killed westin"
"Am so sorry dear, i dont even know how to comfort you" she placed her hands on Hattie's
"Its okay"
"I knew he cheated but he did not deserve to die"
"I know but we can't change anything"
"We can't dear
"I have to attend to a patient, i will be off now" she said with a smile as she stood up to leave.
Hattie looked at the painting on the wall. It had never looked more beautiful, but she could not read any other meaning into it. Her mind drifted to Javier as she smiled again. What was he doing to her. She thought as she mentally face Palmed herself.

Hattie groaned in frustration as she hit the tyre of her car. She stood with her hands akimbo, totally confused on what to do. Her car was not the type to act up like this but all this things could not be predicted. She bent her wrist watch to check the time
"9:30pm already?" she sighed. She sure was stranded, as she had no body to call to help fix the car
"Urgghhhh" she screamed as she looked around to find anybody but she couldn't. She thought of leaving the car out and walking down because standing there quite dangerous.
Suddenly her thought drifted to Javier, he would not mind lending a helping hand she thought. She knew she barely knew him but she had no choice but to call him
She took out her phone. As she tried locating his number, on her contact list. Thank goodness they exchanged numbers
Her heart skipped beat as she held the phone to her ears. The call was answered on the 3rd ring
"Hello" his deep hoarsed voice echoed
