21 Chapter
Angelina
I immediately found the doctor, and then he led me to the room in which Kostik was now lying. His head was bandaged, and I understood that the consequences were not too severe, since he was still conscious, but not too minor either, since his head was not quite right now.
“Lina, you came,” he was glad to see me.
” How did this happen? Kostya, you’ve always been attentive. I can’t believe you threw yourself under the car. It was the driver’s fault. Admit it?”
“My fault. I had a fight with Vika. She freaked out and left.”
“Vika?”
“My girlfriend.”
“How long have you had a girlfriend?”
“We’ve been going out for two months. But I haven’t told anyone about it. And you haven’t really been interested.”
“I’ve been having a lot of problems myself lately. I haven’t even visited my parents, I’ve been looking for a job and it hasn’t worked out. And when I found a decent job, I wanted to hold on.”
” I get it. So, Lena, that’s it. I chased her through a red light. It was my fault. The driver wasn’t guilty, and I saw that he was being scammed for money anyway. There’s no justice in this world. Not even like that. The cab driver hit me, and his passenger took the blame.
“Oh, wow. What a courageous thing to do.”
“He was just threatened. I bruised my head, I was foggy, and I even lost consciousness when I was in the ambulance. But I remember everything, I see and I understand.”
“And how long do you have to stay here, you onion woe?” I relaxed a little when I realized that it was my brother’s own fault, and no one had harmed him on purpose.
” I don’t know what they’ll say. I’ll take a sick day. Besides, it’s winter break soon anyway. Lina, maybe we shouldn’t tell our parents. ”
“What do you mean, don’t tell them? You live with them, don’t you?”
” I’ve been living alone for two months now. I’m renting an apartment. As one, with Vikusya.”
” Oh, fiancé. And what happened with you and Vika?”NôvelDrama.Org content.
“She doesn’t understand me. Lina, she’s a year younger than me. She’s studying theater.”
“What’s wrong with that? She’s creative. She likes it. ”
“And I don’t like her being invited to auditions by all kinds of guys. You know what I mean? I suspect it’s not the big scene they’re asking her to do. She’s a pretty girl, blonde with blue eyes. She used to live in a village three hundred kilometers from the city with her mother.”
“Do you suspect her of infidelity? How did you two meet in the first place?”
“Lina, how do you meet now? Through a dating site. That’s how I met. We talked for over a month before I asked her out. She was already living in the dorms.”
“And?”
“And I fell in love,” he says and blushes. My brother is so grown up now. I knew he was going to fall in love sooner or later, but I didn’t think it would happen so fast. He shouldn’t be nervous at all, and I don’t like this girl anymore. My brother was in a car accident because of her. I don’t like her anymore.
“She’s not coming back to me. I’ll go crazy if she doesn’t! – and I feel really sorry for him.
– Lina, maybe you could talk to her and ask her to come back.
Tell her to come see me.
“She just ran away when she saw you get hit by a car. Do you need such a traitor?”
“I do. It’s my own fault. Lina, please. I’ll give you her number, do it for me. Help me get Vikusa back”.
“I will. What you can’t do for your beloved brother. Dictate her number,” I told him, and he immediately smiled. Of course I didn’t want to do that in front of him, so I left the room. Several times I dialed her number, but she didn’t answer. I decided to wait in case she decided to call back, but that didn’t happen either. Okay, when I get home, I’ll call again. Now I have to go to the store and get Kostya some vitamins and the necessary medications. The doctor has already prescribed a whole list.
