Her First Love

Chapter 11

I took out my phone from the bag to call a taxi. But much to my dismay, the phone was also off due to its low battery. It's all my fault because I forgot to charge my phone today. Why all the bad things are happening to me on the same day.

I started walking along the roadside hoping that I will find a taxi soon. Few vehicles passed by and I tried to stop them. But none of them actually stopped or even slow down. I became irritated by each passing second. Why these people are so heartless? They are not helping a girl on the roadside at this time.

I decided that I will stop the next person at any cost. Soon my long-awaited target came.

'Think Emma think' i said to myself. I found no other option except to come in front of the vehicle. I extended both arms, closed my eyes, and stand in front of the incoming vehicle.

A screeching sound of tires was heard and it stopped finally. Thank God, I am alive. I happily open my eyes thinking that now I will get a lift. Headlights were on therefore I can not clearly see the face of the person who was going to help me. He came towards me and now I can clearly see his face.

'If you want to attempt suicide then do it anywhere else.' he said irritated.

'Hello to you too Liam.' i mocked him.

He ignored me and tried to go. I grabbed his arm and looked at him with hopeful eyes.

'I am not killing myself. I missed my bus and my phone is also dead.'  i told him as a matter of fact.

'so what?' he asked bored.

'Can you please give me a ride?' i asked sweetly.

' I will return your favor' i also added and clasped my hands.

' I don't need your favor' he replied blankly.

How can he be so tough? I have to do something. He is my last hope in this long desolated road.

' How can you leave a helpless, sweet girl in such place at this time.' i said dramatically while batting my eyelashes at him and pointed towards myself.

'stop your acting and come with me' he said giving in.

Thank goodness, he has a little bit of goodness in his heart. I smiled that finally I will get a ride and reach home.

As soon as I came near his vehicle, I instantly changed my mind seeing it. What can I do if he has a heavy bike or you can say a devil's bike that looks like it came straight out of hell. No girl, I cannot ride that.

'No you go, I will wait for someone else's help' i told him looking horrifically at his bike.

'Now what is your problem?' he asked facing me.

'I cannot ride that' i pointed toward his devil bike.

He smirked and said 'This beast will eat you alive if you offend him like that.'

'I am not offending him. It's just because I am afraid.' i told him and my voice lowering with each word.

'and what are you afraid of?' he looks like having fun at my condition.

'Just go. I will find another person to help me.' i told him stepping away.

'It's quite late and there are not many people around here to help you.' he said while stepping towards me.

'I also heard that wild animals roam here at night and looking at you, you will become their dinner in a few hours. Next is your choice.' he bends down to my face level and whispered while thinking of my feast for those wild animals.

He then went towards his bike and sat on it. It was now or never situation for me. I took a long breath and decided to go with him. At least, I will reach home alive instead of becoming those animal's dinner.

' Ok, I am coming.' i said to him reluctantly and he smiled lightly at my decision.

'Good choice.' i heard him say.

I sat behind him and he started his bike. I tightly hugged him from the back in fear of falling down. I gave him directions to my home and we drove away.

THIRD PERSON POV:

I was standing and hiding behind the shadows of trees waiting for Emma. She is still in her campus building. Many students were leaving but she was late today.

No matter what, I will wait for my dear Emma.

Soon I saw her leaving the building and its quite late. She looked so tired. I followed her silently to the bus station and kept my distance from her. On the way, whenever she turned back to look, I hide so that she can't see me.

'Oh sad, she missed her bus.' i said to myself not very sad about that.

Taxies were not available and the road was quite deserted. She tried to stop a few cars but to no avail.

'Now I will help my sweet Emma.' i smiled at the thought.

As soon as I stepped out of the shadows she jumped on the road in front of a random bike. My heart stopped beating for a second thinking that she might hurt herself. 

Luckily the bike stopped at the last moment. I watched them closely but I cannot hear them properly from where I was standing. After a little conversation, she went with her.

'How can she go with him? I am the only one that should help her but that random boy took my place.' I was internally boiling as I missed this opportunity.

I came out of the shadows and stand where she was standing a few minutes back. I sinisterly smiled thinking about our future. One day she will be mine. Only mine.
