38 Short Vacation 3 (2/2)

”Oh you haven't heard the news I guess, because you have just returned. Jill didn't die in the accident. She was saved but got amnesia and can't remember anything.” Julia said and smirked.

”Jill...” Brad was walking slowly towards me. 'I have to stop shivering. I have to act that I don't remember him.' I tried to compose myself. But then someone stood between me and Brad. It was Shawn. He was giving Brad a look like he was about to kill him. Brad took a step back.

”I'm sorry. But do I know you.” with Shawn by my side I have gathered my courage. I took a peak behind Shawn. I looked at Brad in the eyes.

”Um I..I was your friend.” Brad stuttered.

”Oh. I'm sorry if I can't remember you.” I said apologetic. I'm getting a hang of myself again.

”Bullshit!” Shawn said loudly. ”I don't want to see you anywhere near Queenie.” He took my hand and we left the cafeteria.

Brad was left with a shocked look.

”I'm sorry about that Brad. I guess Shawn hasn't forgiven you yet.” Julia said sadly.

Father also stood up in his seat. He gave a cold look at Julia and Brad.

”Your father is a good friend of mine boy. He has kneeled down before me and begged me after what happened to you and Jill. He offered marriage between the two of you after what you've done. But what you did was unforgivable. So he has sent you away to Australia so I won't see you again and persecute you of what happened. It has been 8 years now. I am not yet willing to forgive you but at least for the sake of your father's and my friendship I didn't persecute you. But I don't want you near my daughter. If ever you do something again I won't give you the easy way out.” father said with a cold and stern voice. Brad shivered.

”And you young lady. I'm so disappointed in you.” father said to Julia.

”Wait father. I didn't mean to...” Julia said but father walked away not looking back again.

Julia clenched her fists. She looked at Brad who was still looking the way Queenie has gone. She smiled to herself.
