Chapter 11

When I opened my eyes, the only thing I could see was the white roof, so I turned on my side only to find Ashton standing there with a worried expression, “Thank God you woke up. How are you feeling? No, wait I should call the doctor.” He left the room hurriedly. I was seriously biting back my laughter. But when I saw the hand fracture on my left hand I frowned. What the hell? Why did it have to be a hand fracture? I hate to depend on others. Seriously my life couldn’t get any worse. But no it’s not that worse, at least it’s not my right hand. That’s such a relief.

The doctor came in and checked up on me and then asked, “How are you feeling right now?” I shrugged, “Just a little dizzy.” The doctor nodded his head and then talked to the nurse about something then turned to me, “Okay, you have a left-hand fracture which will last for 2-3 days, and then you will have to come for a checkup. Other than that, I have written some medicines which your guardian can collect from the pharmacy.” I nodded my head and then searched for my phone in my pocket but I frowned when didn’t find it there.

Ashton smiled and then waved the mobile in front of me, “It was found on the scene beside your injured body. There were no traces of a criminal. Did you see his face?” I smirked and took my phone, “He looked so much like you that I doubt it was your twin or maybe the other you from parallel space.” He laughed, “You sure have a wild imagination.” I hit him on the shoulder, “Hey, that sounded like a double-meaning sentence.”

I called Kathy and she luckily picked up on the first ring. “Hey, I needyoutocometothehospital ASAP. I am sending you the location.” I cut the call before she could even respond. Ashton gave me a thumbs up, “Wow, that was quick.” I embarrassedly smiled. “By the way, weren’t you on a date? Did you leave your date just for me? Oh my god! I am so touched.” I dramatically put my hand on my chest. He laughed at my antiques, “No dumbo, I was there to break up anyway. You know I don’t tend to be in a relationship for more than a week. She was on the verge of crying but your accident saved me from the drama. Thank you so much.” He dramatically bows down. “Woah! Playboy. I like it.”

Suddenly the door opened and a crying Kathy ran and hugged me. I was biting my lips to not cry. When she saw that I was trying not to cry so she wiped her tears and became angry Kathy, “Whom the hell did this to you? Trust me just bring that person to me. I am gonna cut him to pieces and dip them in sauces and then fry them and give them to street dogs because even they deserve a good meal.” This did it. I laughed so hard at it that I had to grip the bed to control it. This was something that Kathy always said when we were small and I started crying about little things but I instantly laughed whenever she said that.

I turn my gaze to the door when I heard the door knob being opened. Ashton nervously smiled, “That was good but that’s my cue to leave. By the way, if you are not well you don’t have to come tomorrow. You can text me about it.” I nodded my head and genuinely smiled, “Thanks for today. Get home safely.” After he left, Kathy turned to me, “Who was he?” I shrugged, “Ashton Maddox.”

After half an hour of bitching about Ashton, Kathy took me home. As soon as I reached home I called Grandpa and told him that since it was late so I can’t come to the castle for the night. He was of course not happy but when I promised him that I would make breakfast for him so he instantly agreed.

I got dressed in high-waisted black jeans with an orange off-the-shoulder, long sleeves top, and black cock shoes. Then I wrote a note ‘sorry not sorry’ and stick it on Kathy’s bedside table and finally leave the room but not before watching Kathy’s kitten face and admiring my work.

Finally, after making breakfast, I went to Grandpa’s room. Addy was standing outside the room but I ignored him and went inside. “Aww! My princess is here.” Grandpa started coming my way but stopped midway when Grandma shouted, “What happened to your hand, Jenny?” I wave my other hand, “Oh, it’s nothing don’t worry. Now let’s go before the breakfast I made gets cold.” Grandpa came to me and caressed my cheeks, “No, baby tell me what happened?” Oh, God! I knew Grandpa is not the one to let go. “I will tell you after breakfast. I don’t want my breakfast to get cold.” Grandma understood my uneasiness and said, “Oh come on let the poor girl at least eat breakfast.”

After breakfast, I was telling Grandpa and Grandma about the accident but I didn’t tell them I went with Addy knowing the outcome. Suddenly Steve ran to me and hugged me and then pulled away immediately and shouted, “Who the hell did this to you? Trust me just bring that person to me. I am gonna cut him to pieces and dip them in sauces and then fry them and give them to street dogs because even they deserve a good meal.”

I instantly laughed so hard at this. Everyone was looking at me like I was crazy but in my defense aren’t Kathy and Steve soulmates? There’s not even a difference of a single word and also they both are so worried about street dogs. Since I was not going to sober up anytime soon so Grandma told him about it. But my laughter stopped when Steve asked, “Didn’t you go out with Addy? Where was he?”

To make the situation worse Addy just came through the door. Steve instantly went to him and took him by the collar and shouted, “Weren’t you supposed to be with Jenny, huh? How could you let this happen to her? Where were you when she got into the accident?” Before Steve could say something else I went to him and took his hands off Addy’s collar and stood in front of him, “Steve, It’s not Addy’s fault. He just went to order ice cream and so I just stepped out of the hotel for a minute to get some fresh air and got into an accident.”

I could feel Addy’s wide eyes on me. This time Grandpa spoke, “Then why didn’t you tell us the truth in the first place? Why didn’t you tell me you were with Addy?” I sighed and spoke, “Because I knew you all would react this way. I need you to understand that it’s not his or anyone else’s duty to protect me because I am big enough to protect myself. Also, this accident happened because of my carelessness.” They all sighed and went to their room leaving me and Addy alone. I started taking plates to the sink but stopped when I heard Addy say, “I am sorry.”

I again continued taking dishes, “Why are you sorry? Damn, I am hating this. If you think that I am mad so just know that I am not mad. I know that I am not your responsibility and so I have no reason to be mad at you. Everyone has the right to enjoy their lives. You know what I am so happy that I got to meet your damn elegant and pretty girlfriend. I know that I should have-’’ I stopped when Addy hugged me and patted my head, “Stop rambling if you’re not mad.” I bit my lip and spoke in a low voice, “I was not rambling.”

“Yeah, of course, you were not.” He pulled off and sat on a chair and gestured for me to do the same and I did. He cleared his throat and spoke, “By the way, that girl was not my girlfriend.” I gasped in shock, “What? Then who was she?” He smirked, “She was my girlfriend’s sister. She is a bit quirky and irresponsible. Two days ago she broke up with her boyfriend and so she believed that he still loves her and will eventually come to her if she is seen with some other boy. You remember the one sitting beside our table?” I nod my head in realization and so he continued, “Yeah so it was that boy. Well surprisingly he did get jealous and was about to punch me but Selena stopped him and told him everything and so they are back together.”

I clapped my hands and exclaimed, “Happily ever after!” And then I stand up, “Now, I am off to Mary before she thinks I abandoned her.” He laughed and I wink at him before going to Kathy’s room. When I entered, her bed was filled with jewelry lying everywhere. “Are you planning on opening a jewelry shop?” I ask as I make some space for myself and sit on the bed. She turned towards me, “Finally, you remember about having a cousin whom you are not even helping with her wedding.” I side-hug her, “You know babe, I have been quite busy lately but don’t worry today’s evening is all yours. Let’s watch movies, dance to songs, also do some online shopping, and let’s play pool as well. I have been wanting to play for a while now.” She smirked, “Well, then girl get ready to lose the game. Oh by the way I wanted to buy some clothes from Kathy’s boutique so let’s go there as well?” I shrugged my shoulders, “I have got no problem with it but you take permission from Grandpa and text me so I will inform Kathy in advance.” She pouted, “Of course, the difficult part is here.” I stand up from bed and leave the room but not before giving her a thumbs up, “Good luck.”

Now let’s go to the PARK PRODUCTIONS but which car should I take today? BMW? Audi? Lamborghini? Nah, let’s just take Ferrari.
