A Girl Nobody Wanted

Shane's POV.

“What the fu**? She tried to suicide.” I asked again as I was not even sure what I heard. I know my mom goes through mental breakdown all the time, but suicide? What the reason she needs to do that?

“We should go now.” Sarah replied plainly.

“How is she? What has happened?” I had thousands of questions going in my mind.

“I don't know much... Dad asked us to come...” she said again. I couldn't believe the way she spoke even when our mom tried to suicide, and her boyfriend is in ICU. She is so calm and emotionless... That is so unlikely of her...

“shane, I can arrange a helicopter for you two,” Luke said.

“That's great. But what about my car?” I asked. Luke was trying to avoid me for all these past days, but after this incident, he started to talk with me just fine.

“Don’t worry about that. I will send it with a driver” Luke replied, and without waiting for me to respond, he took a call to someone to arrange a helicopter for us.

I took a call to dad, but he didn’t say much except asking us to come home, and mom is safe. I literally begged him to tell me what has happened, but he didn't say anything. What has happened to dad? Why he acts this weirdly?

Not just him who acts weirdly. Sarah refused to talk with me at all. She was just thinking all the time, and her quietness made me fu**ing angry. She became a totally different person since she came after going to the washroom. God knows what has happened to her.

How excited she was when I said we are going to stay in the hospital, but now she seemed like she doesn't even care wha happens to Jake anymore. I even told her that I will go home alone and asked her to stay in the hospital. But she insisted she must go home.

Everyone made me really confused and worried. 1 am so damn worried about both Jake and my mom, but now I have to worry about dad and Sarah as well... God! I should have stayed as the old Shane, who doesn't give a s**t about anything. Even when he worries about something, he could get drunk and fu** someone to free his mind. Caring and loving people so damn hard.

However, we reached home quickly, thanks to Luke.

I ran to my mom's room as soon as we reached home. Sarah was following me too, but she didn’t have any rush...

Mom was lying on her bed, and dad was sitting next to her.

“What has happened...” I ran to mom and took her hand.

“My Shane...” she said weakly.

“she took sleeping tablets to kill herself, but fortunately, I found her in the process and stopped her” dad said.

“Why you didn't take her to the hospital, dad? Is it safe to keep her home?” I asked worriedly. I couldn't understand the calmness in dad when mom has done this much of a foolish thing. Maybe he doesn't want to make her upset now.

“If she is taken to a hospital, it becomes a huge process. Don't you know, trying to suicide is also a crime. I called our fam doctor. He did what needed to be done...” dad replied.

“Why, mom? Why you tried to do something like that? Why did you want to leave all of us... I took her hand to my chest a kept it right on where my heart is. She looked exhausted...

I felt really sad for her. She has worked too much all her life. She hardly had any free time. She rarely had a chance to enjoy... My poor mom...

“I love you, my darling. I didn't want to leave you.” she said weakly.

“Then why you did this mom, don't you know how much I love you?" I asked. No matter how cruel my mom can be, she is still my mom, and I love her.

“I am 100 tired to live, darling... 1am just too tired... I have no energy left to keep on fighting” mom said, smoothly caressing my face.

“This bit** made my life hell... She threw away the only chance to make everything right for us” then she said, pointing to Sarah, who was staring at us, standing by the door. This time her voice tone has completely changed. She was burning in anger as soon as she saw Sarah...

I looked at Sarah worriedly. I know how she feels in this type of situation. But today her face looked utterly emotionless. Her expressions were totally blank.

“Mom, please don't tell like that.” I tried to say.

“If she marries Mr. Patterson, our whole family wins. We can have everything we want without lifting a finger. But what she did. She is fu**ing stubborn...” when she started blaming, Sarah, the weakness in her voice seemed to be disappeared. “It's okay, honey... We can talk about these later. You have to take some rest...” dad said, interrupting her.

“shane... This is the final outcome of depression... You knew that she is taking medicine for that. Now stop making her tired” the dad told me.

At the same time, I heard our doorbell rang...

“will go.." I said, after keeping a small kiss on mom's forehead and ask her to sleep well...

Sarah moved a bit away from the door, giving me space to go. She was just staring at mom blankly. God! Has she gone crazy? Is that why she acts this weird? After everything she has to go through, there is a possibility of she getting mad, right?

Thinking and worrying about both my sister and mom, I opened the door to find the devil himself.

“What the fu** are you doing here?" I barked at Patterson, who was at our doorstep.

He smiled...

“Is that the way to greet your visitors?” he asked coolly.

“Greet!!! Of course, I was waiting to greet you.” I grabbed his shirt color.

“You, A**hole, how dare you to come here again after everything you did?” 1 yelled at him, shaking him. He is a muscular person, but with all the hard exercises and practices, I am stronger than him. Also, he was super calm, he didn’t even protest.

I was about to show my fist on his face when Sarah shouted at me.

“Shane! Stop!t”

“am not going to stop today. I am going to show him what he deserves” I said, shaking him again.

“Shane, stop that. I am the one who asked him to come here” Sarah yelled at me again.

“What?” I couldn't even believe what I heard. I released my grip on his shirt automatically.

“Yes... Let him come... she replied casually.

“What the fu**? Are you insane?” I asked angrily.

“lam in the right mind, Shane," she said indifferently.

“Why you asked him to come” trying my best not to slap her and bring her back to her usual self.

“I asked him to come because...”

“Because she is soon to be my loving wife.” that bastard completed what Sarah was going to say.

“What The Fu**?" I shouted involuntarily.

I went to her and grabbed her from her shoulder.

“What the fu** this a**hole is talking about?” I yelled at her.

“He is telling the truth,” she said calmly, looking to my eyes.

“What? Come back to your senses, Sarah... He is the one who is behind Jake's accident, I am sure about that.” I said, tryin to wake her up from this stupid state.

“There is no need of talking about those, Shane...” she said.

“What? Sarah, are you serious?” I asked, doubtfully looking at her.

“Yes... she said briefly. OF course, her face clearly said she is serious... Well, serious than ever...

I thought I am the one who acts like a total i***t and make other worries, but she is worst than me...

“We need to talk... I released my grip on her shoulder and told her.

“Okay.." she said calmly.

“Andrew, you go up. Mom and dad are there in the second room to your left,” she said, looking at that bastard.

“Noll! You wait here until I discuss it with my sister” I yelled at Andrew Patterson and blocked him.

“shane, please... Let him go..” Sarah said as a request, but her firm voice said it is not just a request.

I freed a sigh. I was so confused...

I moved a bit away, letting that bastard enter. Then without waiting to see what he does, I grabbed Sarah's hand and took her to the kitchen.

“t will wait for you in the upstairs baby...” Patterson said, grinning at both of us.

Baby!!! God! I could kill him! How dare him?

Sarah didn't say anything in reply, she came with me without any objection.

“Tell me what has happened to you. You exactly know what type of person this bastard is. On the other hand, you love Jal more than your life” I asked. I don't even have words to explain what I was feeling at that time. I have never been this confused in my whole life, not even at exams though I never study for them.

“Mom tried to suicide because of me. If I marry him, everything will be alright,” she said.

“She tried to suicide because she has depression. Even if you marry Andrew, she can still have depression” I said.

“Also, what about Jake, if you make a decision like this? That poor guy is fighting for his life out there, and you are fu**ing going to marry the person who put him in this situation. Something is not right, Sarah... There is something you haven't told me." I said.

“Jake has his family with him, Shane... When he got fully recovered, his family will support him forget me. I am too tired of everything. I want to give mom and dad the life they deserve. Also, I want a life that I don't have to worry about every day she replied.

“sarah... We have discussed about mom and dad... We both agreed that we don’t want Patterson to give them the life they deserve. We are capable of giving them the life they deserve. So why you changed your decision, all of sudden?”

“Mom tried to suicide because of me..." she said.

“Sarah... We are coming back to the same thing... That is not a reason for you to marry that a**hole. Jake was on his way t talk with mom and dad. We can tell them everything about you two. If you can't, I can explain it to them. If you think mon tried to suicide because of you, then telling about Jake will change her” I said.

“No, Shane, what I have with Jake is over..” she said calmly.

“What?” Jake and Sarah are the perfect couple I have ever known. The love they have for each other is endless. Somethin; huge has happened, else Sarah will never say something like this. I have observed her for all this time. Her love for him is pure and honest. She would even die for him, and Jake is no different.

“sarah... Please stop going around the bush. I know something huge has happened. Tell me please...” I begged.

“There is no point in talking about these things now, Shane. We must go forward with our lives,” she said, releasing a sigh “No... I am not going to let you go anywhere until you tell me the truth." 1 hold her from her shoulders.

“Shane... You are hurting me..." she said, trying to escape from me.

“I know... Earlier, I want to hurt you to make you feel miserable, but now I am hurting you because I want to take you out. whatever the fu**ing problem you have." I said.

“Okay... If you want to know that much, I hate Jake right now, and I want to stay away from him and his drama. Mr. Patters loves me, and he is ready to help our whole family.” she said.

“Why you hate Jake? What has he done? It is not him, it is this bastard you must hate. I said, angrily.

As a guy, I can understand another guy and his feelings. Jake loves Sarah so damn much, I have no doubts about that. Andrew also loves Sarah. I can understand that, but when compared to Jake, he is just nothing. No matter how much Andrew loves Sarah, her happiness is with Jake not with Andrew. I don't know why she can't understand that.

“I don't want to tell any bad about Jake... So let me go...” she said, trying again to escape.

“No... I am not letting you go. Tell me, what Jake has done” I was not ready to give up. I am not letting her act foolishly. “Jake cheated on me... When I was thinking about him day and night, he was having another relationship with Marina." sarah said, making me astonished.

“You know it is just a drama...” I said quickly.

“That is how we thought. But one day, when they both were drunk, they had s*. “

“What? Jake had s*x with that girlt" I forgot to even breathe.

“Not just had s*x. Both of them have enjoyed it. You know Shane, he has sent her a text saying they shouldn't repeat that least once because he was afraid they won't be able to stop that. I have never cheated on him even from a thought. I can forgive him for doing it, but he should have told me that he had made a mistake and apologize. I am fed up with all his drama and everything. He has lied to me every day. I don't want to be in a relationship like that. Indeed Andrew is not a good person but at least he loves me and he is not cheating on me. ” she was talking and tears were running down from her eyes.

I didn’t know how to respond... I have known Jake for many years and I exactly know what type of person he is. I couldn't believe he did something like that. Also, I have never seen him drunk. No... No... There has to be some misunderstanding someone is trying to break them apart.

“sarah... You are a smart girl. Can't you understand there is some kind of a misunderstanding” I said.

“There is no misunderstanding, Shane... I told you everything, now let me go..” she said.

I didn't really know what to do. Anyway, I let her go... But I promised my self not to let her marry that bastard no matter what happened. Jake can never cheat on Sarah... This is just a trap. I will make her see that.
