Chapter 03: You killed her

...-Catherine's pov- ...

Standing between the crowd, I could see Roland holding Erica in his arms, I've never seen him crying like this before, even when we were kids, every time he got hurt, he never shade tears, not even a drop, all that he ever said is that

"don't worry little Rine, am okay" while he wasn't, but today the pain he's going through, can't be held back in his heart, I can clearly see it in his eyes, and it kills me, seeing him in such state

his pain, was agony to me

It was all my fault, that he's going through this, if only I.. could stop, Erica from jumping down from the rooftop, if only.. I could save her,.. he wouldn't be like this

am to blame, only me... for the misery I've caused the man I love

It's all your fault Rine

In few minutes, the ambulance came, taking Elsa away, Roland also got in

And his whole family followed

"Rine, where were you?" Lexie came " I looked everywhere for you"

"Lexie.....Erica" I couldn't speak

"it's okay" engulfing me to a tight hug "I heard what happened, everything will be fine"

...-Roland's pov-...

We're at the hospital, the doctor got out of the ER, soon than expected

"Doctor, ..how is she?" but he kept silent, for some time "tell me how is she?"

" am sorry, but the patient couldn't make it"

His words made my blood freeze

"what does that mean, you were supposed to save her, not let her die like that, how can you call yourself a doctor?" By now I was shouting, grabbing the doc's collar

"Bro stop it, pull yourself together" Rotin, my young brother came, pulling me away

"Son, you have to admit that, she's no longer with us"

"No mom, she's not gone, she said she won't ever leave me... Rotin, let's get Erica to another best hospital in the city, okay?"

I just can't believe it, Erica can't just ...no she can't

"Brother!, please accept the truth"

"Roland" I heard a familiar voice, calling my name, turning around

It was her

"what brings you here?"

...-Catherine's pov-...

I decided to go to the hospital, seeing my condition Lexie, suggested that, she should accompany me, I wanted to be on Roland's side, during this hard time

But who would've thought, I'd see him in such misery, his pain getting the best of him

"Roland" I found myself uttering

And everyone went quiet, especially him, he turned around to face me

But something was wrong with his gaze, the way he looked at me now, he never looked at me like that before, his eyes were filled with so much darkness, his deadly stare gave me chills all over

"what brings you here?"

what's wrong with him?, I asked myself, while walking towards him, but something inside me, told me that it wasn't a good idea, but still I didn't stop

"I came for Erica, and .. you, I couldn't just..stay behind. after what happened, I wan.."

" You hypocrite" he shouted in anger, with such speed he grabbed my neck, tightening his grip, chocking me to death

" Broh, what are you doing?" Rotin came, trying to take him off, but he was so strong

"son, stop it"

"your killing her, let her go, you jerk" I could hear, Lexie trying as hard as she can, but still he didn't let go

"you killed her, you pushed her from the rooftop" he tightened his grip, even more, making it hard for me to breathe, taking my last breaths, and tears kept falling off

"I.....I....di...d" I tried but couldn't utter a single word
