Cursed By Fate

Carl has been moody and down all day that even his friend who was not always around noticed that something was definitely going on with him because he has refused to come out of his room.

James went to Carl’s room to check up on him but he found Carl tearing up like a baby. ” What’s up Dude, are you fine ?” James asked.

” Yeah, I’m” Carl quickly cleaned up his face with his backhand thinking James didn’t notice but he did .

” Don’t try to pretend like everything is fine when everything is not ” James sat next to Carl .

” I’m just going through some personal stuff and I will be fine,” Carl said.

” You can always tell me about it, ” James offered.

” Don’t worry James , I will be good” Carl insisted with a fake smile on his face .

James decided to leave him since he was an adult and can take decisions all by himself. ” I’m off to work” James walked to the door.

” Ohhh, I forgot today is Monday,” Carl exclaimed.

” Are you not going to work This morning? You can’t be skipping work since you just started work at the company ” James confronted Carl.

” I know right. I just need to take some time off work” Carl replied.

” Is there a reason why you want to take some time off work ???” James asked .

” I’m not feeling too well and I also need some time alone, ” Carl replied. ” Just go away James and let me be ”

After trying all his best to persuade Carl, he left for where he was going to . James left Carl’s room, feeling worried about his friend. He knew Carl was going through something, but he didn’t know what. He decided to keep an eye on him, just in case.

Meanwhile, Carl was feeling miserable. He had never felt so low in his life. He had hurt Laura, the woman he loved, and he didn’t know how to make it right. He had been trying to shift into his werewolf form, but it wasn’t working. He was stuck in his human form, feeling weak and helpless.

As the day went by, Carl became more and more withdrawn. He stopped answering his phone, stopped going out, and stopped talking to anyone. He just lay in bed, feeling sorry for himself.

James tried to reach out to him several times, but Carl just pushed him away. “Leave me alone, James. I can handle it,” he would say.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

But James knew better. He knew Carl was struggling, and he needed help. So, he decided to take matters into his own hands. He went to Laura’s house, hoping to find out what was going on.

When he arrived, he found Carolina sitting on the couch, looking worried. “Hey, James. What brings you here?” she asked.

“I’m looking for Laura. I need to talk to her,” James said.

“She’s not here. She’s been locked in her room for days, refusing to come out or talk to anyone,” Carolina said.

James’s expression turned serious. “What’s going on? What happened between Carl and Laura?”

Carolina sighed. “I don’t know, James. But whatever it is, it’s bad. Laura is a mess, and Carl is… well, you’ve seen him. He’s not doing well either.”

James nodded. “I need to talk to Laura. Can you take me to her room?”

Carolina hesitated, then nodded. “Okay, but be gentle with her. She’s not in a good place right now.”

James followed Carolina to Laura’s room, feeling a sense of trepidation. What was he going to find when he got there?

When James got to Laura’s room, the door was locked as usual. ” Laura , James is here to see you , can you please open the door” .

Laura refused to answer both Carolina and Laura ” okay , you don’t want to open the door at least tell us what is going on between the both of you ” James pleaded . ” At least even if we can’t solve the problem on ground, we should be able to have an idea of what it is”

Laura still didn’t say a word . ” Let’s just let her be,” Carolina said , tears rolling down her cheeks.

” They will be fine soon, Carol,” James tried comforting Carolina.

Carolina raises her head to look at James “ did you just say they will be fine?” She asked . ” It’s been two days since she last had something to eat or drink. She didn’t even go to work today that she has an appointment with her company investors and you said she will be fine ??”

” Damn !!! , what are we going to do about the investors??. Don’t you think we should call someone at her work place , probably her secretary to inform them that she is not available at the moment?”

Carolina held her head and said ” I don’t even know what to do . I am the most confused person on earth right now” she said walking to the living room.

James and Carolina were both seated in the living room when they heard the sound of a door knob cracking open . They both looked at each other and ran to Laura’s room door front.

By the time they got there, Laura was standing before them all dressed up in a white pants and black jacket, her hair not neatly done and her lips all cracked.

Carolina ran to her and held her hand ” Laura what’s going on ??” She asked . “I have been worried sick “.

Laura smiled. James and Carolina both looked at each other wondering why she just smiled. ” As you can see , I’m fine and I need to go to work now, ” Laura said .

” What ??!!” Carolina exclaimed. ” That’s not gonna happen. Did you take a look at the mirror to see how bad you look?” Carolina asked .

” I am not looking that bad , I just want to quickly go meet with the investors. I will be back in two hours time ” Laura said, grabbing her bag from Carolina.

” You must be out of your mind Laura !! ” Carolina said.
