You never know

Chapter 9

He didn't even think of following me that's what hurts the most. By the time , I reached home. I had tears running on my face and my mascara was spread. I opened the door with shaking hands and slammed it shut. I slid down the door and sat on the floor and letting all the tears fall. I don't know when I got up. I heard the door opening. Afraid, it was my dad, I quickly got up but just as I was fixing my shirt, I saw crystal walk in. She saw me with wide eyes and immediately ran over to hug me. Her hug was tight and comforting just like Abhay. But just thinking of him, I broke down again in tears. Krystal softly spoke comforting words and began drawing circles on my back. I unwillingly left the hug and wiped my eyes and said,"Thank you, I'm sorry. I spoiled your favorite shirt."

she rolled her eyes and laughed it away, as it was nothing. Then, she suddenly stopped and frowned. she said," It is not the shirt, I'm worried for. Okay, now tell me. what happened?"

I groaned. Of course, she was going to ask. I got up and went upto the mirror with Krystal behind me and saw myself. My eyes were red and puffy. My hair are no longer in a pony tale but were sticking out in different directions like a bird nest and my face was something that you could get only in horror movies. My mascara was spread all over the face and lipstick was nowhere to be seen.  

Afterwards, I bent down and washed my face and then tried combing my hair. But my hair were not happy with my decision as they came back in the same place as they were. I groaned and madly started combing my hair while my best friend was just standing there and watching me with an amused expression. I gave up and kept my comb back. Then, stormed out of the room and sat on the bed. Krystal quietly followed and sat beside me. none of us spoke. There was silence but I knew she wanted an explaination. So, I spoke up and told her everything from the starting. As I finished telling her, I took a long breath and waited for her to speak. She looked at me with a mixture of shock and sad expression and then murmured something. I said,"what?"

She looked at me and said," Get up, We are going out."

Confused, I just stared at her. She shook her head and begin dragging me outside door. she took the car keys and said,"C'mon we are going shopping and I am not waiting for your answer. You're going."

I grumpily followed her and sat on the front seat. As soon as we reached the mall, she pulled over and we stepped out. She spotted her favorite shop and dragged me there. As we entered, she began running everywhere picking up dresses while I just stood there watching not knowing what to do.
