Scandalous Arrangement

I told her that I had no intentions on Daniel going to jail and that I didn’t even know who she was. She said it didn’t matter because what was done is done and she is still looking for payback, an eye for an eye kind of thing. I asked her if she drugged me and she said she did. She put curare in my juice with a needle. I wanted to ask her why but I didn’t have enough air in my lungs. She told me that curare was a drug that causes paralysis over the entire body. And that if I didn’t get medical attention with the next 15- 20 minutes that I would die. All I could do was lay there and cry. It felt like someone over 300 pounds was sitting directly on my chest. Angela began again with her story. “Julie, do you remember going to lunch with my uncle and then heading home because you were super tired. You woke up from a nap and stared out your window for a while, well I was sitting across from your building watching you. It was also me that broke into your apartment not once but twice. I did put all of those papers on your table and move those bags to the corner. When I broke in the second time I trashed your place. I didn’t want anything specific I just wanted to scare you enough to go back to your moms’ house. You fell for that one way to easy. My uncle was in a meeting when you called him, he was meeting with me about our plans for you.
It was a shame that you had to beat him up though. That one I didn’t see coming, I thought you were more faithful than that to the men you loved. I told my uncle to put the money in the bank of Cuba it was closest to the fanciest hotel in Cuba; I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist it. Such a predictable girl you turned out to be.
Every incident where you felt watched or had a strange feeling of someone following you, was all me. I saw the fear in your eyes, it looked like the fear I had when I was losing everything I worked so hard to get. It was all taken away from me to soon. Well Julie it is time for me to leave, I have explained myself to you enough. But within your last few minutes of life I just wanted to say that you are a black widow, destroying everyone in your path just to get what you want. Karma has come full circle on you and it’s time to pay up”. Before Angela left she grabbed my purse and took all the bank info out of it and said “not to worry, the account is in my name, Andrew didn’t forget to take you off of it, and I made sure of that. She walked out and the door closed behind her. I tried to scream and make noise for my mom but I felt my life ending, maybe Angela was right maybe I did deserve this. As I laid there crying, trying to fight for my last breath, my life flashed before my eyes. I saw my mom and my unborn child that I wouldn’t get to raise. Maybe I should have lived a better life. I took my last breath just as my mom walked into the room calling my name Julie!!!
