Forbidden Love

Chapter 5 - Brush With Death

Narrator :
A naive girl who fell in love at first sight...

Christina :
(In her mind - I just can't stop thinking about him! Those brown eyes got me up all night. Is this love? It can't be! I need to see him again... but how?! How do I find him?)

Rose :
(Pants)
Miss...Smith...., here's your... jacket.

Christina :
(In her mind - The club. Yes! Fantasy Club!! Since he's there last night, he might be there again!! I will have to ask Roxanne to accompany me. Wait! Even if I found him there, how am I going to talk to him? How should I start the conversation?)

Rose :
(Waving at Christina)
Miss Smith?

Narrator :
Mary Jane, the housekeeper, was aware of her unusual behaviour...

Mary :
I didn't know you like to wear men's jacket.

Christina :
(Surprised)
I thought it was a women's jacket? I guess I must've not checked it before making a purchase.
(In her mind - Oh Lord, just kill me!! I suck at telling lies.)

Narrator :
On the other side, Miss Hudson had a guest who she'd least expected...

Katharine :
(Drinks beer)
Roxanne...

*Knock-knock*

Katharine :
(Rushes to front door and opens it)
Roxanne?!! Is that y-..
(Surprised)

Narrator :
It was Mr. Howard Sanders, her ex-husband and things didn't go well...

Howard :
There's no point in continuing this. I'm going to convince Roxanne to move in with me.

Katharine :
(Upset)
I won't let you do this!! Get out of my house, you bastard!
(Throws a glass of beer at Howard)

Howard :
(Avoids the glass)
You're crazy!!
(Heading out of the house)
I'm leaving and I will be back for her.

Bastard!!!

At that moment, her knight in shining armor had appeared...

Moody Drunk Man :
(Tries to hit Christina again)

????? :
(Grabs the hand of the moody drunk man)

Moody Drunk Man :

Big-sized person like you trying to hit a helpless girl and you call yourself a man?

Narrator :
However...

Christina :
(Tries to stop the fight)
Stop it!!

Moody Drunk Man :
(Pushes ????? away and rushes towards Christina)
BITCH!!!

Chrissy!!!

She has stopped breathing....

Roxanne :
(Gasps)

Mary :
(Approaches Christina)
Oh my, Chrissy!!

Aunt Mary? How do you find us here?

Mary :
We'll talk about it later. Call the ambulance!

Roxanne :
O-okay!
(Takes out her handphone)

????? :
(Checks Christina's condition)
Her heart has stopped beating too! I need to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation(CPR) on her while waiting for the arrival of the ambulance.

Young man, are you a doctor? You seem to be like one.

No but my mother is a doctor. I know what I'm doing. Let me handle it.

Yes! Please help Chrissy!!

Location : General Hospital


Dr. James :
(Comes out of emergency room)

Mary :
Doctor, how is she?!!

Dr. James :
Don't worry, miss. The patient's condition is stable now. If it wouldn't for the CPR, her chances of survivability would be very low.

Mary :
(Feeling relieved)
Thank God!

Dr. James :
However, she needs to stay in the hospital for several days before she can be discharged.

Mary :
Okay. Thank you, doctor!

(Hugs Roxanne)
Don't be, it's my fault too...

Narrator :
The single mother and her daughter made up after apologizing to each other. Roxanne told her mother everything and...

Katharine :
Oh my, you can't be here. You need to go to the hospital. Christina needs you by her side.

Roxanne :
I don't think she would want to see me there. It's all my fault that she has to go to the hospital...

Katharine :
(Caressing Roxanne's shoulders)
Roxanne, listen here. You have to face your mistakes instead of running away from them. I know you are a responsible person.

Roxanne :
(Smiles)
I will. Thanks mom!
(Hugs Katharine)

(Hugs Roxanne)
That's my girl.

(Smiles)
You don't have to, Miss Katharine!

Roxanne :
Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith and Aunt Mary. I'm sorry for causing the trouble. I'm really sorry.

Margaret :
(Pats on Roxanne's back)
It's okay, dear. Nobody would want this to happen, right?

Roxanne :
(Nods)

Alexander :
Yeah, nobody would want this to happen. So, don't put all the blame on yourself.

(Smiles)
I agree with Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Miss Roxanne.

(Screams in fear)
Please don't hurt me!
(Runs away)

Jennifer :
(Laughs)
What a coward!

Roxanne :
(Holding a tray)
(In her mind - Bitch...)

Jennifer :
Priscilla! It's so hot here!

Priscilla :
(Holding the tray while fanning Jennifer using a well-decorated pink hand fan)
Here you go, Jennifer.

Roxanne :
(Holding a tray)
Finally, it's my turn! What should I eat? Hmm... I'll have the potato salad!

Miss Lim(Cafeteria worker) :
Good choice, young lady. Our potato salad is highly recommended. You're right on time as this is the last one for today.

Roxanne :
(Smiles)
Thank you.

Miss Lim :
(Handing the potato salad to Roxanne)
Here you go.

(Snatches the potato salad)
I'm sorry but Miss Jennifer wants it.

Jennifer :
(Feeling satisfied)

Roxanne :
(Feeling annoyed)
Excuse me? I got it first.

Priscilla :
However, Miss Jennifer wants it. Just keep your mouth shut and move aside.

Roxanne :
How old is your Miss Jennifer? Can't even take her own food? I wonder do you wipe her ass after she finished taking a poop?

People in the cafeteria :
(Laugh)

Jennifer :
(Offended)

Priscilla :
(Upset)
Y-You!!

Roxanne :
(Smirks)
What is it? Are you trying to thank me for being honest? You're welcome then!

(Upset)
Bitch!! Nobody disrespects me!
