Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 16
James POV
āThree more bottles pleaseā Angela shouted at no one exactly but the bartender who doesnāt care whether sheās drunk or not.As long as heās gonna receive his money, He came to her table and dropped three bottles and opened them for her.
She grabbed one immediately and gulped it down.
I have been watching her all along, right from when she left her house, I thought she was going to Frankās place but instead she came here ā a bar.
If Iām not mistaken, there are six empty bottles on her table plus the three she just ordered for. Is she really going to kill herself because of one d–n boyfriend? Is he even worthy to be referred to as a boyfriend?
Being the really gentle and easy going guy I really am, and if not for that, I coolval stories would have beaten the hell out of him (Frank) even if there aināt any hell in him.
I continue to watch through the transparent glass. She gulped the first bottle at once, then took another bottle, oh no Iāve got to watching her and go ahead to stop her.
I walked into the bar without delaying.
āD–n you frank, D–n you! How could you abandon me? ā she yelled and raised the extra bottle up to have another greedy gulp directly from the bottle. I held her hand and collected the bottle from her.
ā Who are you? Who the hell are you?ā She yelled at me and turned to see me.
ā You need to stop all this Angelaā I said
āTwo Jamesā She said, sheās drunk.. So sheās seeing double of me.
āGive me back the bottleā she yelled raising her hand up to get it.
āYouāll drink no moreā I said and ignored her.
āBartender!ā I called the bar boy who served her and he ran to meet me right away.
āWhat are you? You saw this young girl drinking excessively and she is already drunk yet you served her more bottles of alcoholā I half shouted at him.
āShe demanded for it sirā The young boy said.
āIām not drunk, now give me back my bottleā Angela said.
I scoffed and said to her āāI know right, you are not drunk at allā I said
ā You are the one who is drunkā She fired at me.
I just shook my head, Obviously, itās the work of the alcoholic alcohol she drank.
āHey!ā I turned back to the small bartender and faced him.
āNow take away all this bottles and here is the moneyā I said as I dipped my hands into my pocket and dropped the money on the table which he picked up first before picking each and every bottles
ā Just a piece of an advice that would save many lives. When a person is drunk do not serve him or her more drinks!ā I warned.
āāIāmā¦. Iām sorry sir ā He stammered finally packed the whole nine bottles.
āHuh, Whā¦.what are you doing? Where are you taking my bottles to, I said Iām not drunk!ā Angela said struggling to stand up but she kept on staggering and falling back to the chair without anyone pushing her.
ā Yeah, he wants to refill them for youā I said.
Shared on whatsapp by Martino.
ā¦.And she kept quiet for some moments.
ā Frankieā she began to mutter as if he was here.
ā I hate you very much, I hate you!ā she said.
ā Go away!ā She screamed at me.
Oh wait a minute, Iām not the one sheās seeing but Frank.
I held her hand and said, āIām James, not Frankā
āUrhā she groaned.
āOhk James, whenever you see Frank tell him I hate himā
āIā¦.I willā I stammered.
She suddenly dropped her head on the table, with her hair roughen.
āAngela , Anā¦ Angela!ā I called her name and raised her head up, oh thank God, she was only dozing off.
What now? I sighed.
She is worst when sheās drunk
Sheās drunk yet my heart is still beating for her.
I bent so low to be on the same level with her then carried her on my back.
Huh? She looks light but where the hell did she get this huge weight?
I groaned then began to walk out of the bar.
I didnāt bring a car and there were no cabs around because theyāve stopped driving around here at night for some security reasons.
All well and good, her house was nearby, half a mile away.
āFrankā She muttered in her sleep.
āFor goodness sake, forget about the d–n Frank and mention my nameā I shouted because I know she wonāt hear me.
āJaā¦.ā Uh, is she about to call my name?
āFrankā She finally said again and I smirked.
My back was aching but as far as it aches because the one who I love the most is the one making me go through this painā¦.Then, itās fine.
In 4 to 5 minutes, weāll be at her place.
I felt cold liquid pouring on my backā¦ Huh?
I managed to raise a hand up and touched my sudden wet back. It was not rain because itās not even drizzling.
I brought my hand closer to my nose to perceive what it is.. Oh My God, she vomited on my back. Eww!
The irritating liquid continued to pour from her mouth to my back but when she burped, it stopped.
I breathe heavily, then continued to walk towards her house.
*We got to her place. Her mom told me that she left home after informing them that she was going to Frankās place for his birthday.
She asked me what made her to go to a bar and drank to stupor instead. I had to keep her little heartbroken secret to myself, so I lied to her that I had no idea of why she did so.
She thanked me for bringing her daughter home safely and her younger sister, Kate came to assist her mom in carrying the weightless looking but weightful Angela to her room.
āNow, I need to go home and bath thoroughlyā I muttered to myself and touched the irritating liquid again, foolishly perceiving it again as if it had one sweet smell.
It smells like nothing but alcohol mixed with saliva.

Frankās POV
āWhere exactly is she? ā Paulinaās aunt asked me as she rushed into the hospital.
I was able to identify her to be Paulinaās aunt because she recongized me as Frank, the same person who called her immediately Paulina passed out.
I remember Paulina had told me that she lived with her Aunt, so checking through her call log and I found her auntās contact which she saved as āSweet Aunt Bellaā was not a problem.
āShe is in the wardā Freddie replied.
Only the both of us had brought her here while the party was ruined and everyone left.
āWhat ward? ā Aunt Bella asked us.
Before we could speak, the doctor came out.
āDoctor!ā Paulinaās Aunt ran to meet him.
āYou are Mrs Brown right? Can I talk to you about few things since you are the patientās momā The Doctor said.
āNo, Iām not her mother. Iām her auntā Bella introduced herself properly.
āWell, a patientās health is best disclosed to her parents firstā The Doctor said.
āI am, Iām her guidian, her aunt, Iām like a second mother to herā She spoke really fast.
āWellā¦ ā
āTell me, is she okay? ā
āRight now, she isā He replied
āWhat do you mean by Right now? ā She flinched.
āErrā¦Mrs Brown, sorry Mrsā¦ Ermā
āIām Bella ā She told her.
āOh Okay! Contact her parents. I need to talk to them or one of themā The Doctor said.
āOk, I will but can I see her now? ā She asked.
āSure being her closest Guidian, you can. She is in the ward 123ā He directed and Bella ran there instantly.
āCan we see her too? ā I asked.
āNo. For now, visitors should not be more than one in a ward except someone who is very special to the patient seeked for. I can presume you two are just friends with herā He said.
āIā¦. I am, Iām.. ā I wanted to introduce myself as Paulinaās Boyfriend but Freddie interrupted me.
āWe will come here tomorrow to check up on herā Freddie said and the doctor nodded and went his way.
