Through the Curtain

Chapter 12

I closed my eyes and I slept.

(At Morning)
I woke up and took a shower. I went downstairs for breakfast and you would not believe what I saw. His mom, dad and sister were sitting right there, in front of my eyes.

So I had to do more acting to be a good, innocent and sweet girl in front of them. I had to be more cautious and careful, especially in front of his sister.

I sat on the opposite chair to him. My social battery was draining.

His Mom asked something to me and I was lost in my thoughts. I wanted to convince Ryan and take him to that under-construction building.

I knew he was disturbed so he will stay at home. I was playing with the food with the fork. Suddenly he coughed and I came out of my thoughts.

I said, "Yes?"

"I was asking where you guys met." His Mom said.

"Who?" I asked.

His Mom gave a little smile and River (his sister) said, "Isn't it obvious? You and Ryan!"

Why are they interested in our first meet? What is happening? I thought to myself.

Ryan saw my frown and immediately asked, "Hey Clarisse, Did you take your medicines?"

He talked before I could mutter something, "Go and Take it."

He was hiding something from me. I went out of the dining hall in confusion but I wanted to make it clear.

I will prefer clearing the matter to working in confusion.

I hid behind the wall to hear what they talk but I miserably failed due to the housekeepers.

They were eying me with an ahh so weird reaction.

I straightened my dress and went in my room.

RYAN WALTZ'S DIARY

1st of December
Friday,

I stepped out of my house. Forever. I guess. I couldn't live there. My dad was forcing me to be what they want me to. I couldn't accept his decision. It was unfair by my point of view and for my growth.

I didn't want to disappoint my mom but I had no choice. No choice at all.

I was preceeding to my Mansion. It was specially made for me and It was on my name. I planted trees there since childhood.

I was tensed and furious. I broke the signal unintentionally.

Suddenly, A girl came in front of my car. She wore a flapper dress which was in fashion in 1900s.

I was unable to avert my gaze from her. She was very beautiful. There was a mix feeling for her in my mind. I couldn't understand it.

I never felt something like this before. She was the first and last maybe.

I lost control of steering and brakes. This lead to accident. I came out of my car just to find her unconsciously lying on road.

She wasn't injured from outside but she could have any internal injury.

I kept her in the car and rushed to hospital.

Doctor examined her for an hour. My heart was beating fast. It was fastening more and more.

I was responsible for anyone's this condition. I failed.

The first time, I felt something for someone and that someone was in hospital because of me.

The Doctor told me that there is a possibility of her, losing her memory and could go blank.

What if she really lost her memory? Because of me?

Yes, she lost her all the beautiful memories. I was answer to her distress, her condition.

I went home. I decided to never come again in her life. Never ever.

I would pay her hospital bills but would never go in front of her beautiful eyes.

The only thing that's running in my mind is her Chocolate Brown Eyes. They're not getting outta my mind.
