Leave it be and go to sleep. She is nothing. Forget her, kill her upon your awaken and be done with this! The voice whispered harshly in his head.
Sleep clouded his reply. The thoughts of his love for Helena filled his head as sleep took him.
Helena sat in the front pew of the church watching Emily running around making sure all of her calculations where right. Emily was always the type to do things in advance. The wedding was in a week. Helena knew she should be happy, but pain was all that was in her heart. Tears filled her eyes as she thought of Mr. Chase again. Images of him pushing her on the swing when she was younger came to mind. He was like a father to her. When she was afraid to talk to her mother she would always go to him. There where times that she would sit on the couch while Brad was at work and just cry on Mr. Chase's shoulder.
Laughter came floating to her ears, breaking through her thoughts. She looked around to see Emily racing towards a tall and handsome man. Helena got up slowly and started walking towards Emily. She put a fake smile on and took Emily's hand.
"So, is this the man who has stolen my best friend's heart?" Helena asked the man. Up closer she took a good look at him. He was tall, with broad shoulders. Curly black hair with clear blue eyes, like the color of the sea.
"Well, it's more like she stole my heart. My name is Devin Adams. You must be Helena. She talks about you all the time." Devin pulled Emily closer to him, leaning down planting a kiss on the top of her head.
Helena's heart gave a tight squeeze at the look in Emily's eyes. She looked so in love. Her eyes sparkled with it. Helena cleared her throat before speaking, trying to hide the underlay of tears in her voice.
"Well, I hope she said all good things. Yes, I am Helena Silverman, the one and only." She laughed as Emily beamed a smile her way. All of a sudden Emily's smile turned into a scowl.
"Hey, that doesn't go there!" The bride-to-be yelled and rushed over to one of the cleaning personal in the church. Helena shook her head and looked back at Devin, feeling a little awkward now that Emily was gone.
"It's very nice to you meet you, Devin. I can see the happiness in her and the love in her eyes. I am very happy that she has you." Sadness filled Helena as she thought about Brad. They'd had that once. Now it was gone, just like Mr. Chase. Devin put his hand on Helena's shoulder, dragging her away from her thoughts.
"I know what happened, and I want you to know that even though we don't know each other well, you can talk to me if you need to. You're one of Emily's dearest friends and that makes you mine too. We are going out to lunch in a few minutes..." He paused to look around for Emily. "... once Emily stops running around, that is. Would you like to join us?"
Helena had to laugh as she watched Emily running after the poor guy, waving papers at him and arguing loudly.
"Yeah, I would love to join you. Would you like the honor of getting her, Or should I?" She laughed again as a helpless look filled Devin's eyes. "Okay, I know that look. I'll go get her."
She walked away slowly, shaking her head.
Brad laid in the hospital bed looking down at the IV that was in his arm.
"What the fuck? Get me the fuck out of here!" He yelled.
A nurse in dark blue scrubs walked in and stood at the end of his bed. She picked up and charts and looked them over real quick. "I'm sorry, Mr.Chase, but you have been brought here due to a breakdown. We're keeping you overnight to make sure that your vitals are going to stay normal and to make sure that we can get you out of here completely healthy. Would you like me to call someone?"
Brad looked at in her in astonishment.
"Call someone? Who am I going to call? I have no one." Tears started to fall down Brad's cheeks as the sight of his father filled his mind. What was he going to do? His father was gone. His mother was gone. He instantly knew what he had to do. He looked up at the nurse with menacing eyes.
"Get the fuck out of here. Now!" Brad yelled and threw a plastic cup at her. She instantly ran from the room. Two guys came in and took Brad's arms.
"Get off of me! Get your hands off of me!" He yelled as he turned and twisted trying to get out of there grip. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the nurse come back in the room with a needle. He instantly started to struggle harder.
No, I can't let them stick me. I have to get away, he thought. The nurse came closer and picked up his IV line.
"No, please don't! I won't fight. I promise." Tears fell like a river down Brad's face as he tried to plead with them.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chase. Doctor's orders."
The nurse said as she pushed the plunger down on the syringe. Brads mind went instantly numb and his body started to relax. The two orderly let go off his arms. Brad started to mumble something as the medication kicked in.
"I know what I have to do. I have to kill Helena."
