"Ha!" Goldie screamed as her leg slipped and she fall down, rolling down the stairs till she land at the feet of killian who was also running after her.
'Goldie.' He called out, concern in his eyes as he bend down to help her up but she only pushed him away, turn back to the stairs and continue to run.
'Wait.' Killian grabbed her hand, stopping her from running.
'Stop hurting yourself Goldie, Amethyst is not a child and whether you run or not, you will get to see her, you have to be patient. She also need some fresh air, take your time please.' He said, his hold on her hand slight firm and eyes warm.
'Leave me alone.' Goldie barked, snatching her hand from his hold.
'What do you know about feelings and emotions? All you got to do is sit down and count thousands of dollars, you know nothing else. I am Amethyst's mother and I know her than anyone else. Fresh air at this point? She gave her organ to a man and still couldn't get to meet him, do you think fresh air is the next thing? I'm sure that Amethyst went to commit suicide and I have to stop her. If anything happens to my daughter, I won't spare you.' She barked at his face, eyes brimming with tears. She turn back sharply and continue running up the stairs while killian stood there, watching her back figure.
If truly, she went to commit suicide….. what the hell are you doing?!' his brain screamed at him and he took off on his heels. He brushed back Goldie on the stairs and raced to the rooftop and there is Amethyst, standing at the edge of the building, looking down below her feet.
It really is Suicide!
He ran toward her, the whole of him scared when…
'Ammy!' Goldie's voice suddenly came from behind which make her turn to the back sharply but her leg slipped and down she went, falling down from the tall building but before she could be far away, a strong hand grabbed her.
Her eyes widen in fear, her feet swinging in the air. She suddenly felt scared, the sight of how far the world beneath her feet is nearly killing her.
'I don't want to die.' She kept on mumbling, her eyes laced up with tears. With the courage and determination that she had earlier, she wouldn't have believe that she would be this scared of death.
'Goldie ran forward and supported killian that is getting weak as time passed. The duo pulled her up but…. The effort weren't enough. Her hand slipped out of both killian and Goldie's hand and she screamed as she descended again but a strong hand grabbed her hand, making her stop.
She look at the person's face and would have screamed the name "Nathan" but his hair is gray. He is Gabriel.
Goldie and killian quickly supported him and finally, they pulled her back to the surface.
Goldie pulled Amethyst into a bone crushing hug, nearly bursting her bone into her arms. 'Don't do this to me Ammy, please don't leave me. she sobbed, her face turning ugly.
'No matter what challenges you may have faced. No matter how lonely and dejected you are or felt, you should know that there's someone who truly loves you, someone who wants you alive. I need you in my life Ammy, if you leave, I would die.' She proceeded and bend her back slowly, squatting while holding Amethyst in her arms.
'You don't have to die for anybody. Nobody worth your life, not even me. Mrs. Ashbluff is a cheater, she cheated you…'
'I knew there is something fishy before… i.. I suspected that she was lying. The day of the surgery, she looked furious instead of happy. Finding a donor for your dying son, you sure suppose to be happy but she was angry and frustrated as if she had lost something tangible, so I knew already that Nathan doesn't need then… nut since she wanted me to give out my organ to see Nathan, I decided to give it out. I would see Nathan then anyway…
'Ammy please don't endanger your life in the future. We share the same fate, do anything to win back the man we love, but in the end, we are not allowed to see them while we live in sorrows afterwards, they live in happiness, all mighty and rich, comfortable and luxurious, they don't care nor remember that you existed afterwards…
'Ever since you left, I have not been happy Goldie, though there were wealth as you just said but my heart is not there. You took it with you that day when you left. I searched everywhere you could have possibly been but I heard yu relocated already. So many years in deep sorrows. I looked everywhere for you and finally, when I found you, you have already moved on, living happily with our daughter. I knew I had hurt you so much so I can't be so selfish to appear in front of you after all the thing my mom did to you. I just stand distance away and peek at you, send flowers on your birthday but I did not dare to reveal my face. I check on our daughter, I git some people to look out for her within the school, but… I couldn't reveal my identity. I truly love you Goldie and I wish I was just an ordinary man with no influence or wealth at all, so that my family would not be against woman I love. If there is another life, I wish to be my woman's husband and my daughter's father. I wish to always be there for you both, standing by your side, walk through thick and thins with you, share love and even if it's gonna be the most shabby house ever, I still wish to wake up with you by my side.' He said, gazing directly into Goldie's eyes. Amethyst, noticing how stiff Goldie is pulled out of the hug and turn to look at killian.
So, this mysterious man is her father.
