episode 4: desperate struggle

Annabella's POV:-

As anger, rage and disappointed take root in me "tossing and turning in bed whole night with excitement and this is what I get for it?? Just a sorry I have another shift I took for my managers mistress to keep smooching?? I am so darned right now! If she wants to work her ass off thinking I will take that as an answer she is sorely mistaken!" I mumble to myself continuing my makeup after she called me. My mouth kept grumbling as My phone rang with her name on it "oh, so you finally remembered you have a friend now, huh? Well now I am angry so you better come here directly and apologize, on phone apology won't work!" I tell myself out loud, but only a few seconds changed my attitude to 'what if she needs my help?'

Before I knew it every ring made me anxious to pick up my instincts telling me I should just go for it as it stopped I froze for a second and jolted back towards the phone calling her back

"for heaven's sake what am I gonna do about you honestly you always know how to make me rest less and worried"I think to myself

The next moment it felt like my heart was gonna jump out she picked up the phone at the very first ring. but I calm myself as I start talking.

"Oh my did you dial the wrong number? Thought you were helping MIA?" I sarcastically say almost hiding how glad I was to hear from her

"Anna there is a serious problem right now, I think my stalker entered the café, and I am crazy terrified "she replied panting

that one sentence made me go completely wild I was worried and terrified to hear that.

" Hold up…! YOU HAVE A WHAT NOW?!?!" I say almost half dead with worry

"Please Anna I need you....! get here as quickly as possible I already sent you my live location "

her desperate tone was enough to make me want to kill that scoundrel but I contained myself because she was the priority, my priority right now and sounding afraid myself would be of no help the next second I get up grab my keys and storm out. my mother says from behind

"Annabella at least wear your coat--" I completely ignored what she said I know it was disrespectful but there was another more serious situation going on, I will apologise to her later.

"Alright I will be there in a second just hold on, stay on the line don't--" I stop as I hear her panting on the other side growing louder and louder my heart as is sinking in abyss, pain, fear, and anxiousness pull me in their imbrace.

"Darn it!!!" I scream desperately as the call ends with her helpless panting and my dark thoughts about who knows what is happening to her, I get in my car breaking the speed pushing its limits at this point I didn't care of what happens to me or if I was gonna be arrested right now all I wanted was to see her safe. I look at my phone click on her live location one good thing was that she was still near the café which should take me about 2 minutes to reach at this speed I look ahead and then back at the screen only for my heart to sink deeper as the notification 'live location has ended 'struck me hard my hands shaking I reach the café search endlessly around asking people if they saw her but all I hear in return is "no" and those two letters enough to make me want to kill myself I take my phone out and start calling her my heart comes to ease as I hear her ringtone nearby leaning here and there I spot it lying on the floor near the café my eyes widened running towards it, I pick it up and kicked the café door open to find her on the table lying unconscious she was sweating and panting like crazy.

I run towards her calling her name desperate to hear her voice.

"Cat, Catherine....!!"

"Mm Anna?" her voice still inaudible and faint

"Hold on just a little longer…!" my desperate voice trembling as I pick her on my back and take her to my car and straight to the hospital.

Moments later the doctor comes out.

"She is fine stress and anxiety caused her to collapse all she needs is a little rest, and she will be fine so don't worry" those words cooled me down I could finally breathe it felt like I came back from the dead. Never was I going to leave her side again not even for a second if possible I enter her ward sitting next to the bed looking at her with teary eyes still trying to hold back she was going through that, and I selfishly ignored her call because she turned me down. I hold her hand helplessly prying for her to wake up.

She twitches and her hand moves I jolt up.

"Cat can you hear me?"

"Are you okay? Should I call the doctor does it pain somewhere?"

"Cat you okay"

"How are you feeling? Any better from last time?" I question her all she does is smile back that one smile enough to turn all the worry, pain, fear, anxiety, rage that I felt into comfort and enough to trigger an endless river of tears I was holding back.
