Elsa
I pack all my things from my room and ready to leave to his but something caught my attention. It was the picture of Michael and a girl. Both of them are in their teens and happy, she was smiling at the camera, and Michael was looking and smiling at her. It’s the same look that I had seen in Evan when he looks at Ruth. In that picture, he was so happy and cheerful not the person which I’m witnessing now. His hands were wrapped around her in that picture. A pain formed in me when I look at his smile It's clear from the picture that how much he loves her.
A lone tear falls from my eyes. I wipe my tears and place the picture inside the cardboard. Then I heard a sound, I turn to look around but nothing is seen. I pick up my things and went to his room. I placed my things on the floor and slowly take my thinks and starts arranging them in their place.
"What are you doing here" I heard a voice behind me.
I turn to look at the person it was the girl which I had seen in the garden. she was standing there at the door.
" um.."
" I told her amelia ". I heard Michael's voice.
"But why..."
" I will talk to you later now go to your room," he said.
she nodded and turn to leave but throw me a hateful glare in my direction.
He closes the door and went straight to the bathroom like I don't exist in here. I heard the sound of the shower.
I went near the window and stare at the sky. The sky was so clear, I open the windows, the cold breeze rush towards my face and it makes my hair dance with it. I look at the sky there the stars fizzling at me...I smile at them and didn't see Michael was standing behind me.
I feel his breath at the back of my neck. The warmth radiating from him makes me melt in his arm. I feel his hands go to my waist. Suddenly everything changes, every memory of that night starts coming into my mind, that night which becomes my nightmare...my breathing becoming shallow, then I felt a tightness in my chest like I'm losing my breath. I tried to take my breath but I can't...I hold him..his face was now at my neck but he stopped when he sensed my condition.
" Elsa...Elsa....what happened" I heard.
" I...I can't take...." I was struggling for air.
"Try to take a breath slowly... " he said and run his hand on my back.
Slowly...slowly I got my breath and collapsed into his chest. I feel stiffness in him then he relaxes.
We lie there for few minutes but he throws me onto the floor.
I look at him from the floor. His eyes were different it's not the one which I had to see just a minute before. Now it holds the rage.
"How foolish I fall for your act," he said Hately.
"What are you taking, I... I didn't understand..." I said not knowing what happened to him. For one minute he shows me that he cares for me and in the next moment he pushes me.
" ho stop with your act.."
" what...you think...you think..what I had suffered now was an act " I painfully ask him.
" if it's not an act then do tell me what it is," he said mockingly.
" And I know who you are. Selfish. Manipulative. Greedy. Bi.."
"Stop it. I said stop you..!" I said furiously at him.
"You said you know about me as selfish, manipulative, greedy. And you said this was all my act then Can I ask you, do you know me. Do you know what my life was, what I suffered? Do you?" I ask him poking my pointed finger on his chest.
" you know what, I thought I would get my freedom from them when I found my mate and he will save me and will wipe away all my tears and scars". I stopped and look at him, who was staring at me, and continued "but I now know that how foolish is .. maybe it was not meant for me. I don't know why you hate me this much and I ask you but you hadn't told me. If I had done something wrong then you can punish me." I said and run from his room. Tears are falling from my eyes.
I don't know where I was going but all I wanted was to get away from him. I don't want to stand in the same room with him, so I ran and stop when my feet touch the green grass. I stumbled onto a bench. I stare at the darkness. I now really wish that I had died there with my parents.
I don't know when I went to sleep. But all I know was, I was floating in the air maybe I wish to be in that air forever, feeling that it may take me far away from all my pain.
