What is wrong with Laura?

Friday 3th of May

Laura was watching outside to her garden from the second floor master bedroom. The master bedroom was big with windows two outside walls. There was entrance to the balcony on the long outside wall. Wall next to the double bedroom doors had the big TV and the door to the walking-in-closet. The other inner wall had the door to private bathroom. Room was white with white antique furniture. Bed was big custom made four-poster bed it had been the family since Laura’s great, great, great grandfather had gotten it. Curtains on the windows were dark purple and made sure sun didn’t shine through the windows. Laura wanted to sleep in dark. This used to be her parents’ bedroom and it was her father’s Viktor De Bellefort childhood home. There had been already De Bellefort’s in four generations at this big two-story white wooden house. And Laura had not been able to make it to six generations. Something her mother had constantly reminding her about. How herself had come pregnant after only a year of marriage and lost three other children before they were even born leaving Laura to be only one. And it was Laura’s responsibility now have several children. But Laura had not been ready for that.

Since Laura had fallen sick and she had been sick nearly a year now. Children weren’t something that Laura wanted. Or soothing that was even responsible to think about on this situation. Not until she would be completely healthy again. And her husband would need to do lot more than just give her goodnight kiss on her cheek. That did not make children. Laura would have wanted to tell that her mother. But she knew her mother would be just been bothering her husband. And she did not want that happen. So Laura had just staying silent and listening to her mother ranting on how it was Laura’s obligation to have children. To make sure that De Bellefort name would continue generations to come. The family business needs to continue being owned by born and blood De Bellefort. Laura did have distant relatives but her father had only one child Laura and her father had been only child as well. That made Laura the only one. Like her mother was constantly reminding her.

Since her father Viktor had died when Laura had been only 19 years old. She had inherited him and his company and this house. Laura’s mother had moved Laura into this bed room next day of his death. This had been her room ever since. This past year it had seemed to be her world. From being the President of De Bellefort company. They owned one of the harbors and some other companies on that area.

Laura had gotten married in age 21. That was when her mother Gloria De Bellefort had move into one of the apartments they owned. She was living on the Beach Boulevard opposite of the pier 7.

Laura had tried to remember what had happened to her that night she had fallen to the sea. All she could remember that she had visited her mother, taken her medicine before leaving. Next thing she knew was that man with black hair named Sam. Who had rescued her from the sea and disappeared after rescuing her. She didn’t know his last name she had no way to contact him. Laura wanted to thank Sam for saving her life. Stranger to just jump into sea saving another stranger. Laura couldn’t wrap her mind around that. He had just jumped high pier to sea. That was brave.

Laura had no idea how she had end up to sea. Even less how she had end up to train tracks yesterday. But she had ended up in the sea and the train track was true. Even if it didn’t make any sense to her it was true. She had nearly died twice now. And all what doctors kept saying it is side effect from her medicine. Doctor said what happened yesterday was because sleeping pill Laura had taken that she had sleep walked out of her house under influence of sleeping pill.

What Laura didn’t understand was how could she been taken that sleeping pill. Since, she was absolutely sure that she had thrown away those sleeping pills. As they made her so druggy and made sleep too much. Laura thought she had thrown them out months ago. Could she had accidently have one bottle left. Did she take last night wrong sleeping pill? Laura didn’t know.

But today’s news headlines about her should have been left unprinted if she hadn’t messed up her pills.

– You should be in the bed. Why are you even up? Juliet asked when she walked into bedroom without knocking. Juliet had her long auburn hair in high ponytail wearing tight red floral dress. Showing of every curve she had.

– Juliet I can’t lay in the bed more. I have tried to understand, why this happening to me? I need to see a doctor. Laura said desperate voice.

– There is nothing wrong. Doctor said last time that there are side effects on your new medication. But it will pass after a while. Juliet said trying to calm down her friend.

– I know but please. I am afraid that I will end up accidently killing myself if this doesn’t stop soon. Laura said crying. She really was afraid. She had died now nearly twice. That was way too many times. Laura wasn’t sure would she survive the third time or would that time end being fatal?
