The Dim Bus Stop Encounter

Chapter three

"Excuse me can you move I need to get home." he moved out of the way and spoke as I got in the car, "Can we at least meet for a coffee or something tomorrow like five at the Cafe on Rosyln Street?" I looked at him and spoke while closing the door, "Don't count on it." 

I shut the door and drove to the beach I took off my clothes in the car and put on a Jumper I had In my car. I took my heels off and my toes glided in the soft warm sand as I looked for somewhere to sit. I found the perfect area under the Moonlight.

I stared out to the ocean wishing my life had been different and wishing I hadn't found my true love with my best friend in my house together. I started to think about what happened the day after I found them when Laila called me.

'FLASHBACK'

I sat in my bed in my PJS ready for bed when I got a call and it was an unknown number so I picked it up incase it was important. 

"Hello?" I said anxiously to see who was on the other end, "Duaa? It's me Laila." I was shocked she had the nerve to call me I didn't want to let my anger and pain get the best of me so I hung up.

A few minutes later I got another call and I picked it up again, "Please D Let me explain." I got up and started pacing as she stayed silent and I cracked, "Explain you want to explain how about this for an explanation I trusted you, you told me you would never ever hurt me I told you my secrets which I didn't trust ANYONE WITH ANYONE You had my heart Laila and you broke it OVER A FUCKING BOY BECAUSE THATS WHAT YOU DO YOU RUIN THINGS BECAUSE YOUR BORED WITH YOUR LIFE AND WANT TO RUIN OTHERS. I THOUGHT I WAS FUCKED UP." There was only silence but I couldn't stop myself.

"I thought this would last forever I thought you were my soulmate. You told me you'd die for me and you slowly were planning this. You know how in movies they have the main two best friends who stay friends forever I FUCKING THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE US now I know its all fake and a story with a happy ending is an unfinished story." Still no response.

"I was delusional and Also just wanted to let you know I know you told everyone about me being suicidal and how I wanted to hurt myself because of my brother and all the other stuff with my family. I am never ever going to trust anyone because of you I hope you die or you know what I hope you live a life of pain and misery, THERES YOUR FUCKING EXPLANATION YOU BITCH GO FUCK YOURSELF." I never got a response so I hung up. I sat there and sobbed till I fell asleep. 

'END OF FLASHBACK'

I lay down on the warm sand looking up at the stars, trying to figure out what was going on in my life and I decided to take a swim. I slowly walked into the water farther and farther I walked deeper and deeper My legs felt sinking into the water. I felt force grabbing my leg and I got dragged down by something under the water and everything went black. In my mind I thought I was dead in the grave or passing through to heaven and hell till I woke up.

I was in a hospital and There was a few people I recognized my mother, father, brother and the strange boy who was at the court conference today. I felt annoyed I was twenty-one I wasn't a child. "She's awake." Abdul said smiling, "Abdul what are you doing here I thought you left for Dubai." 

Abdul was my older brother he is five years older then me and the best brother I could ask for he always took me out and gave me anything I asked for. When I was sixteen he got in a car accident that left him in a coma for three years. 

Everyone says it wasn't my fault but I'm the one who forced him to take me home early from a party because a boy threw a blue juice on my white dress, we were fine on the road and a blue car came out of nowhere and we both were injured bad.

I had a two broken bones my arm and my leg and I couldn't speak properly for eight months and everyday I lay in the hospital next to Abdul crying and praying he was okay. after I was admitted to leave the hospital and could go back to school everyday after school I visited Abdul and told him about my day at school. I wanted to hurt myself because I hurt my brother so bad.

Three years later it happened, two weeks before my nineteenth birthday we got a call that Abdul woke up. Me and my parents rushed to the hospital and when we reached there and I saw him I burst into tears.

"I'm so sorry Dul this is all my fault..." and he cut me off, "Duaa it wasn't your fault neither the other drivers fault it was a misunderstanding and it will all be sorted okay." I still felt guilty, "But..." He raised his fingers to my mouth shushing me. "No buts. Now go get me some snacks from the vending machine." he smiled and I gave him a hug and then left to get his snacks.

Abdul sat next to me and gave me a worried look "What were you thinking Duaa, your twenty-one you have an amazing job and a great life." I scoffed, "Abdul I know you love me and think you know me but you don't as well as you think you do."...
