Dear Diary,
I shouldn’t have…I really shouldn’t have jinxed my death. I came out of a near death experience.
Ben…he was the cause. He wasn’t the nice guy he showed to be. He called me out to an isolated place only to take advantage of me! He tried to force himself upon me, to kiss me and when I managed to push him out of all my strength, that increased his anger more. He grabbed my neck, choking it harshly. I was out of breath, gasping for air but his hold on my neck was just too tight.
I was on the verge of losing my life. If he’d keep up like that, I’d be out of breath soon and I didn't know what will happen myself. He was right, so right. Ben never had good intentions of being friends with me, he wanted to take advantage of me from the start. I regret not believing him, I regret not listening his words. I made a mental note to myself that if I’d get out of here alive, I’ll apologies him a million times.
Just when I was about to lose my vision I saw a male figure barging into the door through my blurry vision, I couldn’t see who it was properly but the voice made it all clear…
“YOU B@STARD!”
It was him. The person I wished to come but least expected. He had come to save me. His hazel brown eyes filled with anger and it didn’t take him a second to snatch Ben’s hands away from my neck and beat him down.
I was released from from his harsh grip and fell to the ground gasping for air. I saw him beating Ben out to death.
I recalled how vulnerable he was when he was getting hit by the opponent team leader back in junior high, he tolerated all the bullying and couldn’t fight back.
This scene was totally different from back then. He was fighting Ben, punching him harshly while Ben couldn't shot a fist back. Ben was no match for him.
“HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HER!”
I heard him hit Ben harder before saying that. Ben was bleeding from his nose, lips, eyes and every other place he got hit. He was showing no mercy at all.
The situation was getting out of control. I tried to get up but couldn’t. Somehow, with difficulty I managed to get him and hold him back, stopping him from hitting the half dead person more.
“Stop it! You’ll kill him at this rate.”
“HE DESERVES TO DIE!”, he lashed out. I had never seen him this angry before.
He locked his eyes at me and the hazel orbs softened.
“Are you ok?”, he asked softly while checking me for any injuries.
This. This was the guy I loved. The one who was always nice and polite to me. His eyes had the same concern which I saw years back when we used to be friends. I yearned this side of him. It took all my pains away.
I nodded and he hugged me tightly, which surprised me.
“I’m sorry, I was so late. God, what would have happened if I didn’t come earlier…”, his voice broke as he spoke. He was feeling guilty for that? I was thankful he atleast came to my rescue. I was expecting nobody.
“Its fine…”, I said assuring him while patting his back.
He broke the hug and looked at the red finger marks left on my neck due to grip. He touched it lightly and when I hissed, he was sure I was in pain. He held me and took me to the nearby hospital to get treated.
On the way and while getting treated, his eyes never left me. I got Déjà vu. Once, I was the one who brought him to infirmity to get treated when he got bullied back then. I saved him that time. Now he was the one who brought me to hospital, he saved me this time.
Life is indeed a cycle of events…
And seeing the concern and care in his eyes, I was getting a hope. A hope that everything was going to get better…between us. Maybe we could go back to how we used to be.
Maybe…
Love
