Not scared of death.

I walk in the street of California like a lost child who has nowhere to go.

I was lost in thought and didn't know where to go or what to do.

In just a week, my life turn around for the worst.

"Move away ". I heard voices and horn behind me.

I hissed in frustration and made my way back home.

I got home and went straight to aunt's room, I got to her room and open the drawer she directed me to.

I opened the drawer and found her diary, I hissed in pain and open it.

I jump a few pages and search for the contact she asked me to find.

I found them and hissed in pain before closing the drawer.

I sat on her bed and all she said to me keeps ringing in my head.

"This can't be possible". I yelled in anger and pains, 

How can all this happens to me in just like a twinkle of an eye.

My aunt who was so strong and healthy was sick all these while and I never noticed despite living in the same house with her.

I let myself get distracted with silly things instead of paying attention to her.

If only I did pay attention to her, maybe just maybe she would have still been here with me, 

I closed my eyes in pain and blame myself for all this.

The ringing of my phone brought me out from my thought.

I hissed softly and went for the phone in my pocket.

Without checking who the caller was, I pick up the call.

"Olivia, aren't you coming to work, you are late ". Immediately I recognize the voice.

"I'll be there in a few minutes". I whisper.

"Are you okay ".she asked sounding worried

I took in a deep breath and stood up from the bed 

"Yeah, please cover up for me, I'm on my way"

"Sure". She replied and ended the call.

I hissed in frustration and made my way to my room. I got to my room and took a quick shower before wearing a simple dress and left the house.

I walk a few miters before I got to the coffee shop.

I hissed and took in a soft breath before opening the door to the coffee shop.

I got in and noticed my colleague staring at me with curiosity in her eyes.

"Are you okay ?" She asked, 

"Yeah, I'll go change and take over ". I murmured those words and went to the locker room.

I changed into my uniform and came back to the coffee stand.

"Thanks for covering up for me ". I murmured.

"You are welcome".she replied and left the coffee stand to the locker room.

In a few minutes, she was back at the coffee stand.

"Are you okay ?"

"Yeah ". I murmured 

"No you are not, what's the problem ".she asked, sounding worried.

I hissed and shake my head in pain.

"Is everything okay ?" She asked while placing her hand on my shoulder.

"My aunt is sick ". I murmured and wipe off the tears that fell on my Cheek.

"Jesus, I'm so sorry". She gently caressed my shoulder.

"She is dying, and I can't do anything about it". I murmured in pain.

She hissed and stared at me with pity.

"It's okay, everything will be fine". She assured me,, but I knew it was a lie.

"Nothing is fine, nothing will ever be fine". I muttered out those words like I was so sure of it.

She hissed and shakes her head.

"You should go home, I prefer not to take another minute of your time". She was about saying something when a customer came in.

"I'll call you, okay ?"

"Sure, thanks ". I murmured and attend to the customer.

I was still serving a customer when I noticed the bell rang indicating someone was coming in, I look up and to my surprise it was Derrick's father.

I met gaze with him and stared at him with anger and hatred.

He grinned evilly at me before walking to the coffee stand.

I ignored him and served the customer in front of me, the customer left, and it was only I and Derrick's father in the coffee shop.

"What should I get you ". I asked in irritation but try to keep my voice down since he was here, and I have to treat him like a customer.

"You know I'm not here for coffee".he spoke firmly.

"Then what are you here for ?" I asked irritated

He chuckled evilly before staring at me.

"I'm here for you ".he muttered out those words in a serious tune.

I stared at him in anger but did not say a word.

"You are no longer Derrick's girlfriend, so you are out of his protection, I can deal with you however I like ".he spoke those words with a big grin on his face.

I felt angry and irritated by his words.

I was going through a lot, and he was here blabbering rubbish to me.

"You should accept my offer now, you have no choice ".he spoke those words firmly.

"Your offer ". I asked in anger.

"Yes, my offer ".he muttered out those words in a serious tune.

I stared at him in anger and hate.

"Over my dead body will I be your whore ". I said those words while staring directly to his eyes.

He chuckled softly and stared at me,, but I did not remove my gaze from him.

We stared at each other before he spoke up, 

"Seems you want to die ".he threatened.

I hissed softly and stare at him, 

"I'm not afraid of death". I muttered out those words while staring directly into his eyes.

"Everyone has to die someday, so if it is my turn to die them who am I to say no ". I muttered out those words confidently, staring at him.

I could see the shock and puzzled look on his face.

He stared at me puzzled and confused.

"You've changed a lot".he murmured out those words while staring directly into my eyes like he was trying to read through me.

I hissed in anger and look away.

"Something has changed in you ".he said those words like he meant it.

"Please sir, if you don't have anything to do, can you, please leave ".

He stared at me, shock and angry.

"Do you know I can just kill you here and no one will dare to ask questions ".he said those words like he was so sure of it.

I chuckled softly and stared at him.

"And who told you, am scared of you or death ". I responded in anger.

Seeing my aunt in her dying bed has taken whatever fear I have for death and this man.

If my aunt who, I thought, was healthy will die in less than a week, then why should I fear death or anyone who threatens me with it.

He stares at me with wild eyes and shock.

"Please leave if you have nothing to say,, or you can just kill me if you which to ". I said those words and pick up a cup to clean.

He stared at me and wanted to say something when the bell rang indicating someone was coming in.

He hissed angrily and stared at me for a moment before walking away.

"Welcome, what should I get you ".

"A cup of Americano".the customer replied and took a seat.

I hissed in relief when I realized Derick father has left.

I did the coffee and served the customer.

In few hours my shift was over, I close up and walk home.

I was almost home and was about opening the door when I noticed a figure standing behind me, I turn around and noticed it was Mike.

"What are you doing here, Mike ". I asked 

"Can I have a minute of your time ".he asked 

"Did Rona send you "

"He doesn't know I'm here ".he spoke truthfully 

I stared at him for a while before moving closer to him 

"What is it "

"I came to see you, are you okay ".he asked while staring at me with curiosity.

I chuckled and shakes my head.

"Do I look sick to you ". I asked in frustration.

He stared at me confused before speaking up.

"What is it ".he asked, 

"What is what ?" I asked in anger.

He stared at me for a while, like he was trying to read through me.

"Something is wrong, please tell me ".he pleaded.

I chuckled softly and stared at him.

"Is that why you are here ?" I asked in anger.

He did not say a word, rather he stares at me with wild eyes. 

"If you have nothing to say then you can take your leave". I did not let those words finish from the mouth before I move away from him and open the door to the apartment and got it.

I know, you don't need to tell me, the news of my aunt dying have changed me completely, and I could feel it.
