A Girl Nobody Wanted

“Is that the way you really think about me?”

Jake's voice was loaded with concern and sorrow.

No! Not Not I have never felt about you like that, my love... I wanted to ran to Shane and grabbed his phone and screamec at Jake...

But how can 1?

If I tell him what I am going to do, he will never give his permission. He won't let me even go near Andrew Patterson, but without getting close to him, how can we dig up to everything he had done so far?

On the other hand, how can I tell him about what his dad told me? He thinks about his dad like he is a God. Knowing the truth will make him really sad and disappointed. I very well remember how I feel every time my parents betray me. I don’ want Jake to feel like that.

So, there are no other options but doing this on my own.

“Princess, is that the way you think about me?” Jake asked again since I was silent.

I inhaled a long breathe just as to inhale some courage to myself.

“Yes... 1 am fed up with getting cheated and betrayed. Anyway, she is a perfect match for you, Jake. Go... Have a perfect lif with her. Andrew loves me, and he has never cheated me. So, I will have my life with him," I said, hiding all the pain and desire to tell him the truth.

“I have never cheated or betrayed you, princess... Please, believe me... I have never had that kind of a relationship with anyone else...” Jake replied. His voice was wrapped in pain, don't know if that the physical pain he has or the mental pain have caused.

My poor baby...

“I don’t want any explanation, Jake. I have taken my decision. I am leaving now, I have to check my engagement dress...” firmly saying that, I left the house...

“Princess, wait..." heard Jake was screaming...

But I left, pretending like I don’t give a s**t when I was crying deep inside.

I couldn't hold it anymore... I opened the gate and ran down the road like I got mad.

I didn’t even where I should go. Crying my eyes out, I ran... People were staring at me, but I didn't care...

I stopped at an abandoned bus stand... There were no houses nearby, and that place was perfect for me to release my agony.

I sat on the half borken metal bench in the bus stand. I don't even know how long I was there crying...

However, after God knows how long, I stood up, wiping out my tears.

I have to do this... I can't turn back now. I am doing this for the betterment of all of us. So let us stay in this misery for some more time after that everything would be alright. After I find out all the evidence on Andrew and reveal his true personalities to the whole world, Jake's dad wouldn't be able to do anything to save Andrew. Andrew will go to prison, an we will have our happily ever after... Yes, I know there is a high possibility Jake's dad does something again to make me leave Jake. If he does something like that, I won't take it anymore. I will tell Jake the truth about his dad...

Making up my mind to be strong I left the bus stand...

Jake's POV

Soon after I got conscious, I wanted to see my princess more than anything. Mom, Dad, Luke, and even Marina came to se me, but not my princess... Maybe she is not allowed to be here. This must be a family-only place. Then how Marina is allowed here? Well... I can find an answer to that later.

As I got to know, I have been in a coma for 6 days... God! Six fu**ing daysi! That is unbelievablett!

I don't even know how my poor mom and Sarah managed to go through these six days. Definitely, dad and Luke also worried, but they are stronger than mom or Sarah... Mom anyway had support from everyone to comfort her, but my poor princess... How hard this must be for her...

She must be somewhere here, waiting for me to wake up... I know about her... She should be waiting nervously in a corrid near this room... I must see her soon...

But I couldn't ask about her when mom and dad were around... I wanted to be alone with Luke to ask about my princess, but my mom and dad seemed like they are never going to leave me again.

However, after some time, my dad took mom out to have something to eat. She hasn't eaten properly since I was. hospitalized. Poor mom...

As soon as they left, I asked Luke about my princess...

“Luke, where is Sarah? She is waiting outside, isn't she? Can't you find a way to let her come here?" I asked.

“Jake, you can worry about all the other things later... Though you are out of the coma, you have to take a good rest... he replied hesitantly.

“I know... But I can't get any rest without seeing her. I was on my way to her home. She must be really worried. My poor sarah.” I said.

But Luke tried to avoid my requests and change the topic. I didn’t know what is wrong with him. However, finally, after a I of pressing, he spoke.

“She is not here, Jake. She is at home’

Ves, how can she come all the way here and where she can stay? I am such an idiot... She may be at home, but she must t dying to see me...

“Take her a call, she must be dying to see me... I said.

Then again, Luke started to hesitate.

“Luke, I don't have much time. Before mom and dad come, I have to make this call” I said firmly.

Luke stayed silent for a few seconds. Then he started to tell me everything... Things I couldn't even believe...

He told me how Sarah came here with Shane and then she went home in a hurry, saying her mom tried to suicide. God! Tt is awful. Why she tried to do such a thing? Couldn't she even think about Sarah and Shane?

“Then I must call her right now, Luke. She must be really worried” I said worriedly...

“No, Jake. She doesn't even want to talk with you..” then he said slowly, avoiding my eyes.

“What?” I asked. What the hell is he talking about? Why doesn’t she want to talks to me? Is that because I didn’t come to her house that day? No, it can’t be. She must be crazy to get angry about that...

“she thinks you cheated on her” Luke said.

“What the hell?" 1 screamed involuntarily. I have never cheated her, I haven't even think about doing so...

Then he explained to me how Marina has told Sarah that I had s*x with her and showed her some texts to prove that. “That b***hil” I exclaimed.

I thought Marina is a good friend, but this is how she acted. As Marina said, I went to her house to drop her. She invited in to have some drink, 1 didn't think much and agreed. We were just talking and having some drinks, actually even at that time I was talking about Sarah... After some time, I felt really dizzy and didn't felt good to drive. So she offered me to stay her visitor's room, and I agreed. I went to the visitor's room and slept like a baby...That is what really happened. But she fabricated a different story for that. I don't even have a clue about those texts. I will catch that b***h later...

I don't care what anyone thinks or say about me if my parents, Sarah and Luke, understand me. Up to now, they all understood me well... I couldn't even believe that Sarah doesn't trust me. She clearly knows how much I love her and hov heavenly the bond we share together. Also, she knows that lust is not the thing that drives me to do stuff. She knows that value my principles, and I think a lot about my dignity. So how can she not trust me?

I became so worried... On the one hand, her mom tried to suicide, on the other hand, she doesn't trust me. This cannot g any worst than this... As soon as I thought so, Luke put the real bomb.

“She is going to get engaged to Andrew.”

“Whati!” I screamed. I couldn't even believe what I just heard.

“What the fu** you said?” I shouted at him.

“With everything that was going on, she agreed to marry Patterson,” Luke said, without even looking at me.

“She agreed to marry that, motherfu**er? " I screamed shockingly... My heart started to beat so fast, I think I had a quick adrenaline rush... How could she make such a decision without even waiting for me to get recovered? No!!! That is not hou my princess would react. She would surely give me a chance to explain everything before making any decision.

“she can't do such a thing, Luke... No matter what that b***h showed her or told her, she won't give up on me like that. St loves me so much. I have no doubts about that. There must be something else” said...

“We feel the same.."Luke replied thoughtfully.

“Didn’t you try to get it out from her?” I asked.

“What do you think me and Shane tried to do all these days. We tried to get it out from her in all the ways we could think of. But she is not ready to listen... Also, Jake... I don't really know if I should tell you this now or not... But if I don't tell you am pretty sure you will never forgive me. ” Luke said, his eyes were filled with concern... As usual, he is getting worried because of me...

“What is that?” I asked nervously.

“Their engagement is today!"

As soon as I heard those words, I felt like my head hit on something again, but this time even harder...

“Do you have my phone, I want to talk to her...” I said.

Luke handed me over my phone... I dialed her number, praying God to make her answer my call...

However, God was not ready to listen to my prayers... Not just me but Luke also tried to call her a lot, but she didn't answ Finally, I think she switched off her phone...

I have no words to explain how worried I became... My mind was a total mess...

“Let's call Shane and see..” Luke said, dialing Shane's number. Thank God for changing Shane to how he is today, else, we won't have any support from her family, even more than that she won't have anyone with her...

Shane answered the call with the first ring... Luke briefly explained to him what happened to ask him to ask Sarah to talk us. Then he said She came down to the living room and he will put us on the loudspeaker...

It was a relief to even hear her voice, but she was not ready to listen to anything... I have never seen her being this stubborn... She said things that could break my heart into pieces... But I could understand one thing apparently... She is just pretending to ignore me and confident about her decision... My poor baby is crying inside though she showed a brav face...

I think she took this decision without even waiting for me to get recovered because she is afraid of my life... She might think that Andrew is behind my accident, and she wants to protect me... Yeah... That must be the reason... That is how my little princess is... So selfless and caring...

Without even thinking twice, I started to remove the wires and tubes that were connected to my body. Fu** the treatment I must protect my love first...

“What the fu** are you going to do?” Luke screamed, and at the same moment, dad entered the room...

“Jake” he shouted, coming towards me.

Sarah's POV

Our engagement was organized at the same hotel where Luke's birthday party was held. That hotel is the biggest and mos expensive one in the area. So my mom wanted to have it there, no matter how much I dislike it.

For me, having the engagement in that hotel was torture. This whole engagement is itself torture that's true, but having it a place where I had some heart touching memories of my Jake is unbearable.

But I let them have it in their way, what else I could do?

Andrew had booked me a room in that hotel to get ready. He had arranged the makeup artists, hairdressers, and everyon to make me look gorgeous for the occasion. They took some time, making me look elegant... When I see myself from the mirror, it was hard to even believe I am that gorgeous!

They all left the room, leaving me alone. It was around 6.45, and our function was planned to begin at 7. How happy and excited I would be if this engagement is between my Jake and me? At least I was lucky enough to get engaged to him secretly before all these dramas happen. Now, there is only one ambition I have that is to reveal Andrew's real face to everyonelll

I was thinking about my plan when someone opened the door...

“Sarah...” with that voice, I even forgot where I was and what I was about to do...
