Tangled Ties

Chapter 21: REVENGE and ANSWERS!

To each and every one who are reading this every week, THANK YOU SO MUCH! This chapter is dedicated to each and everyone of you!

My whole body got goosebumps as Abigail said that. I was quietly listening to her, staying inside the blanket. My pillow was already wet. I wanted to hug Abigail but at the same time I was afraid to face her. I felt guilty for getting angry with her. I felt guilty for always telling her to share her story, if only I knew she was badly hurt by her own family.

"Luna, don't uncover your blanket! I look scary right now!" Abigail said in a broken tone, as I was going to remove the blanket.

I shook my head. Abigail has seen me in my worst and still stayed by my side. I would be selfish if I leave her alone when she is in her worst. I threw my blanket and got up.

Abigail was sitting on my bed. Her beautiful hair was all frizzy, her beautiful eyes were all swollen and red, her beautiful face was all purple, her beautiful white gown was soaking wet with both water and blood and there was a big piece of glass stabbed on her chest. She looked just the way she explained. I couldn't say anything when I saw her that way.

"When we are too sad, our old scar appears. This is how I looked when I died." Abigail said in a low voice.

"I am so sorry!" I hugged her, I felt so bad for her. Her story was clear on my mind. Her own sister betrayed her, what can be worse than that?

"It's okay." She hugged me back. And when we separated, she was back to normal Abigail, I mean all her wounds were gone.

"That day too, I just wanted a warm hug like this... Someone to hold me tight and tell me that everything will be fine, but no one came to me. My loneliness made me kill myself." Abigail said, painfully.

"Abi, you did nothing wrong. You were and you still are the strongest girl. You were the victim but why did you get the punishment?" I asked, I was really confused.

"My story isn't finished yet." Abigail said stretching her body.

"It's okay, you don't need to do this." I said. I really didn't want to hurt her by making her remember her harsh past. I was stupid enough to force her to tell her story.

"I am telling you all these because I want to." Abigail said, reading my mind. I just gave her a weak.

"Plus, I am feeling really light after sharing my story. As if I have let go a burden I was carrying inside from years." Abigail smiled.

I nodded and she started to continue her story.

When I opened my eyes, I was still on my room. But all the pain was gone. My head was not paining anymore, the fever was gone and my body was feeling too light.

And when I turned beside me, my heart stopped. My body was lifelessly lying on the ground. A big piece of mirror was stabbed on my chest. I was bleeding very badly and the ground was filled with blood. Then only I realized what I did. I KILLED MYSELF!

What did I do? How could I kill myself? I didn't want to die at that moment. I was realizing the worth of my life. Why did I kill myself for a random guy?

I tried to go back inside my body but couldn't.

Just like you Luna, I was hopeless!

What hurt me the most was none of my family member came up to my room, they were enjoying the marriage. I stepped out of my room, I was like an air and then I went downstairs. Everyone was enjoying the delicious meal. No one cared enough to know what I was doing upstairs. I was so angry.
