All because of her

"Ugh"

Mia groaned out loud in annoyance. Squeezing her eyes out at the light which was on her. It felt as if she was near the sun. After collecting all the energy, Mia peeled apart her eyes, eyelash by eyelash. And her whole body froze at the sight.

A bunch of people kneeling on the floor grabbed the young woman's attention. Where was she? The first question crossed her mind. Looking around only see everything beside her was white wall. There's no escape way. She was trapped.

"Umm, excuse me.." Mia called out loud. Trying to get the attention from group of people. As she voiced, a bunch of people who were gathering, turned over their shoulders. Eyes swollen and runny noses, it screamed out how much these people cried. "May I know where this is?"

Mia asked with an awkward smile, anxiety started to hit her which leaded her eyes to lower a bit but Mia hid professionally though so no one would notice. Not wanting to show how she was nearly having panic attack over the bizarre situation.

"How dare you show your face at poor Henry's funeral?!" One of the people shouted, it was the moment Mia's eyes widened in disbelief. Henry's funeral? Did her ears just trip or this bunch of people were joking around? Due to shock, Mia's fingers commenced to shake. There was no way this is true.

"I.. I fear I dont understand" The young woman retorted. Lowering her eyes onto the white floor. "You killed Henry!" "You murdered poor boy!" "All because of you! Henry suffered in pain!" "You don't deserve to be alive!" "Go and die!" "You should kill yourself!"

People began to yell. Startling the young woman entirely. 'Henry is dead? Did I kill him?' she doubted herself. Brain started to process the scene where she witnessed his death. That's right, she murdered him. If she did not save that girl, he would be still alive!

All because of her!!

"I am sorry" Mia apologized. Eyes on the floor to avoid any eye contact with people. "Your apology isn't helping at all! It is not like he will come back to life! Get the fuck out of here!" "Get the fuck out!" People bellowed. Making Mia flinched really hard.

When people would not stop hissing, she turned around to leave. However, her whole body froze at the place. The sight of dead body fell into her sight. It was him, Henry. He was lying on the floor with flowers bouquet in his hands. Eyes were shut.

"What.. what the fuck.." Mia cursed under her breath. Tears began to blur her vision. Was it reality or a dream? The young woman fell onto her knees. Trembling hands rose into the air just to cup his face. Her thumbs gently caressed his cheeks.

"Henry.. I can't give up on you, so please don't do this to me. Can you open your eyes and smile at me for once? I still want to spend my time with you. So please... look at me for once with a smile" Mia sobbed. Eyes squeezing as tear rolled down on her cheeks.

But nothing happened. She just continued shedding tears, the dead Henry never came back alive. People at the back did not even utter any word to comfort the poor young woman as well. They all were cruel. Letting the young woman cried her heart out loud.

As Mia kept crying, she began to lose her breath. Gasping for breath rapidly. And she knew it was the time. The time when death had come to pick her up. "Let's die together then. I still want to see you in next life" Mia smiled and closed her eyes.

"MIA GRACE!!"

A shout echoed. Causing the young woman to gasp in surprise. Her eyes widened, only to see Bailey Joy's teary eyes on her. There were her parents in the room also. Both of them were staring at the young woman with tears in their eyes.

It perplexed Mia wholly. "Why are you crying?" she queried. Making Bailey Joy cried out loud even more. "My dear!" Camilla ran forward. Hugging her daughter while Theo bit his lower lip, so tears would not fall down from his eyes. 'Huh?' Mia frowned.

"I though I lost you" Camilla whispered. Embracing the young woman tightly. "What?" puzzlement was seen on the young woman's face. Revealing how much she was confused. "You were panting and murmuring things. Were you having a nightmare?"

Theo questioned. It was when Mia understood the situation she was in. That was a dream. She dreamt about Henry again. No wonder her parents and her friend were in the room sobbing. "Mmm, I had a nightmare" Mia admitted. Trying to soothe her mother from crying.

"What nightmare dared to make my dear nearly gasp to breathe?" Camilla muttered, breaking the hug. "Nothing serious.." Mia replied with a smile. Disappointing her parents and her friend. "What time is it?" the young woman asked, changing the topic obviously.

"10 in the morning" Theo answered. "Oh 10 in the morning.. wait! 10 in the morning?! Why are you still standing here?! Shouldn't you be at your companies?!" Mia's brows wrinkled. Noticing the fact of her parents not going to their companies.

"You are more important"

Camilla retorted. Delighting the young woman wholly. "I am starving" Mia stated with a sheepish smile. Relieving both Theo and Camilla. "Wait here, we shall go buy something for you" Theo spoke, with a warm smile displayed on his face. "Thank you.." Mia grinned.

As her parents walked out of the room, Mia's eyes shifted to her friend who was sitting by the bed. "Why are you glaring at me?" Mia queried when she saw flickering eyes of Bailey Joy. "You pain in ass, how dare you scare me like this?!"

She scolded. "I did not frighten you!" Mia defended herself. "Bitch, I heard you. I heard how you murmured you want to die together and want to see someone in next life!" Bailey shouted. Holding back the tears to show how much she was strong.

"You heard that?" Mia eyes widened. Earning a nod as a response from her friend. "It was not just a nightmare, right? Something happened in past, isn't it?" Bailey finally queried. Hushing down the young woman totally. "I knew it!"

Due to loud silence, Bailey yelled. It was obvious how her words were accurate so that Mia could not even reply. "Promise me not to say about this to my parents. I don't want to make them worry for me" Mia pleaded. "But-" "Promise Me" Mia pressed the words.

Making Bailey Joy agreed  in annoyance at last. "By the way, what happened to George Seith?" The young woman questioned when she realized about last night. "Are you changing topic, Miss Mia Grace? You are supposed to answer what happened in past"

Bailey Joy slightly glared at her friend. "I am not changing subject" Mia shook her head. "Liar" Bailey retorted. "Gosh, do I actually have to say it?" the young woman scowled. Saying how she did not want to disclose. "Well well well, I can't butt in your business. So you can shut your ass"

Bailey rolled her eyes.

Bring a smile up onto Mia's face. "So detail what happened last night please" she begged. "Uncle The and Aunty Camilla sent that dickhead to jail but the jail refused and sent him to mental hospital instead since he kept yelling how he is gonna make you his"

Bailey Joy explained. With unsatisfied frown displayed on her face. "That's good." "Good my ass. I should have killed him! Or kick him out of world! How dare he try to kidnap my friend?!" Bailey Joy bellowed. Face twitching in loathing.

While Mia just observed her with an exhausted expression. Not even finding words to say. "Did anyone get hurt then?" Mia questioned and changed the topic. Catching her friend's attention again. "Umm, Dean Silas is traumatized though"

Bailey's words stunned the young woman. Causing her eyes to widen in shock and sat up on bed in hurry. "HOLY COW! WHAT HAPPENED SO THAT HE IS TRAUMATIZED?!" Mia shouted. Annoying her friend wholly. "Are you attempting to kill me with your voice, bitch?" Bailey glared.

Making Mia smiled in guilty.

"Anyway, I did not witness what happened though. When we arrived, Dean Silas was crying the ground with bloody hands. And George Seith wasn't at the place. Zeke Preston was the one who saved you I guess. By the way the blood wasn't Dean's. So don't worry"

Bailey divulged. Relieving the young woman. "Wait, so Zeke Preston rescued me?" Mia queried with a frown. "Mmm, I guess so" Bailey shrugged. "How about Lorcan?" Mia asked. Making her friend narrowed eyes in suspicion. "You care about him a lot"

Bailey stated and raised upper lip in disappointment. Hushing down the young woman. "Well, he is my friend so I have to care of course" Mia retorted. "Nonsense" Bailey muttered, rolling eyes in annoyance. "Answer my question now" Mia impatiently spoke.

"Lorcan wasn't at the place also. But he was the one who caught that dickhead. And he also said that he shall be taking three days off from work. And then he just left after getting permission from Aunty Camilla and Uncle Theo"

Bailey explained even though she was lowkey jealous on how the young woman's attention was on Lorcan. "Did you check if he was harmed or not?" Mia asked. Irritating her friend again. "What makes you think I would check his condition? Of course not. I guess he is fine though"

Bailey scowled in displeasement. "Thank goodness" Mia let out a relieved sigh. Annoying Bailey wholly. "How is Dean doing?" Again, Mia questioned. Making her friend pressed tongue against the inside of cheek. Why wasn't Mia asking about her?!

"He locked himself in his room since last night. I don't have clue if he eat well or not because I slept here" Bailey answered. "You slept here?" Mia asked. Earning a nod back from Bailey Joy. "I have a request though" Mia stated. Capturing her friends attention. "What?"

"Take me to Dean Silas"
