6] Is Ann alright?

685 Words
Ann was discharged the next day. Her mom, Maria surprised us all when she came that night almost twelve am, all the way from Brazil. Ann was so shocked that she cried. Everyone at Beeshops knows the story of Ann and her mother. We all are now staying in a hotel. I refused to go home. I called my sister and told her everything and she said I should do whatever I want. I'm just so scared, I feel if I leave Ann for a minute she will repeat what she did. "If only I had run after her earlier." I was saying to Maria when Ann walked in, she heard the last part and knew instantly that I was talking about her. She slowly walked to me and there was that look in her face again ..the I'm so so sorry I was so mean to you for nothing. Ann began seeing a therapist a day after she was discharged, although she strongly disagreed at first. It took almost all the tears in Maria's system for Ann to agree to it. Ann said she regrets her action, she said she acted on an impulse and is so glad that I saved her. I'm not so sure I believed her. I've seen her twice lost in thoughts and in the middle of the night when she thinks I'm sleeping, I hear her crying. She pulled me up and hugged me. "Just don't make the mistake I made, I'd die this time if you do." She said. She tends to talk lightly about what happened to her lately and it's actually worrisome for me. When I didn't say anything to Ann, she moved away from me, a little and began looking at me. "Promise me, promise me Muna." She insisted and I know she'd continue saying it if I don't promise her and so I did. I wanted to add I wouldn't do something that stupid, but then I remembered that my now friend did that said stupid thing. "No one is above mistake." I repeated in my head, really disturbed by everything. I wish I could read people's mind just to find out why they'd some certain things. Sometimes I dream about Ann. I dream about what she told me and in my dream it was as if I was there from the beginning and it wasn't a dream. I know the part where I found her wasn't a dream and I wasn't there when she was looking at the horrible man lovingly, but I could imagine his face ..., someone I don't even know and I haven't seen him before, but I can still imagine it. It's always there in my mind. I see him looking at her, deceiving her with his eyes and I always wonder. "How did he do it? Ann was tough, no one could bully her at work. How then did this man do that under thirty minutes?. How handsome could he be to make her even consider losing her virginity to him in the restroom." I mused. Each time I think about this, it makes me sick. I was so lost in thought until Maria tapped on my shoulder which awakened me. "I looked up at her." "Are you alright dear?." She asked worriedly, I guess I have that angry look on my face again. I nodded my head. "What were you going to tell me?." She moved a seat and sat between Ann and I. "I found an apartment near Ann's ..near you two's work place. I've made the payment and we can move there tomorrow." Maria said and Immediately after, Ann jumped up and did something that looks like dancing ..I'm not quite sure what that was, but she was so excited. Ann confuses me. "I know she wants us to stop worrying about her, but it's just too much. Her excitement lately has become overwhelming. One would think she'd like to quit working at Beeshops, but that's the opposite. She's so excited to go back. Seriously, I'm not looking forward to it, but what can I do?
