RINGS

chapter 1

I received the text from my school group chat when the alcohol burned its way through my throat and i could feel it burning my whole body as it heated up and my eyes were filled with tears and my legs felt numb , no my whole body went numb and my mouth still had the taste of alcohol it tasted like sorrow and the text i read said "aster went under coma " the girl i broke up with 7 years ago and my first love . We dated for 3 years. I was in my high school , pure and dumb maybe that's why she dumped me. I still never knew the reason it was the one relationship I cried for and the one love I never regret . it was a sweet and a regular romance just like a coffee on a pleasant spring morning which you drink on the way to your work , and i clearly knew is tsunami of emotions was not due to alcohol alone it's because of her too it's not like i love her... ugh it's so complicated i paid the bill and walked out of the bar lit up a cigarette she loves the smell of nicotine she loved my kisses cz it smelled like nicotine what a weird girl did she ever love me ? Did those I love you were true ? She was super carefree. Maybe she did not mean it or maybe she did whatever. It's so sad that she has to go into a coma right before her wedding day wondering how she went into a coma. I am curious and sad but a part of me did not want to mix my emotions up again . i called a taxi and went home i hate my car i don't use it i earn a lot i am hot but i don't know me like my character how to explain it i am neither good nor bad i really don't know to put myself into a category and i don't care how other people put me too and i am a doctor and my name is john and i went to my flat took off my shoes and loosened my tie and unbuttoned few buttons of my shirt and and i looked like a drunkard and

I did not care for a shower and something caught my attention. The 2 nd drawer, no John, don't go there, don't pick it, my brain said but I was too drunk to listen to my brain. So I opened it, picked up a ring box and sat on my chair .The box had only one ring and I put my fingers across it .

It was my gift for our anniversary to aster a couple rings J and A engraved in it. It was not a trend at that time so she laughed at it instead of getting excited . She told me it felt like a married couple and we would fight a lot since we exchanged rings. She kissed me. It tasted like mango and her lips looked juicy with her gloss . The thought I had was maybe I could bite it and chew it . oops ! I am not a cannibal dont mistake me . this whole husband and wifey thingy just the nonsense that every high schooler in a relationship spits out and dreams off . I picked it out and fiddled , it slipped away from my hand and fell on the floor and it rolled , it was so silent I could hear it roll . The curtains blew revealing a beautiful night so sad for her to go to coma on such a beautiful night and the ring stopped rolling . My hands reached to pick it up and my fingers felt wet. I picked up the ring. It was covered with blood. My floor was covered in blood. I traced its path and I saw ............. To be continued
