Fatal Obsession: Love, Lust and Murder

~NEW BEGINNINGS ~

I just finished my third year in university. I was so happy that I was almost done with school. There was a party on the next Saturday. It was going to be the party of the year. Everyone was going to be there including me. I wasn't a fan of parties but I felt like something was calling me to that party. I was woken up from my sleep by Amina's squeals. She woke me up and said "My boyfriendjust bought me a new iPhone and a pretty outfit to go the party" as she showed me the phone and clothes. I was used to her waking me up like this. I joined her in her happiness and rushed to class as I realized I had a lecture that started minutes ago. was lost in thoughts , I felt someone's glare at me. I looked around. There was no one looking my direction, I continued thinking.

 "Where is your boyfriend " Anita said as she held the gifts her boyfriend also bought her. She wasn't the kind to show off especially because her boyfriend wasn't as rich as Amina's boyfriend and she didn't really show off. Our names all started with an "A", we've been friends since we all came to the university." We should look for a boyfriend for her" Anita suggested to Amina. " I don't think I want that "I said knowing it was the total opposite . I have never really had a real boyfriend except for you know who. In school, guys would tell me they liked me but I wasn't really interested in any of them.Saturday came really fast. Anita and Amina were doing their makeup, I just put a lip liner and lipgloss, my all time lip combo. I didn't like make up, I preferred my natural face. Anita's boyfriend came to pick us in a Honda Civic but as we were about to enter the car, Amina's boyfriend appeared out of nowhere with a Bentley. Anita went with her boyfriend and I went with Amina and her boyfriend. At the party, everyone was with their partners including Anita and Amiba who disappeared as soon as we got there. As I was scanning the room, a guy smiled and winked at me and signaled me to come over. I went there. The people were actually cool , we spoke about a lot of things and we had a lot of things in common with the guy. He was cute with glasses, he was tall , good looking, funny and smart. What else could a girl want, I thought. His name was Reggie. The other people left and it was only me and him, we totally hit it off. We exchanged numbers and we all went back to our hostels. 

On our way back, Amina's boyfriend started to say rubbish," Why can't your stupid friend leave us for once, she went with us and now she is going back with us. No wonder no one likes her, she is a cunt , this is probably why her dad killed himself and her only boyfriend too died the same way" He said drunkly . "AMINA!" I screamed . "You told him about my dad and George" I said with teary eyes. George was my first boyfriend, we were deeply in love but after a year , he committed suicide , I was depressed and vowed never to date again.I didn't know when I slapped her from the backseat. "How dare you slap her you wretched fool on scholarship " he screamed. I couldn't control myself , tears started to fall. Without thinking, I jumped out of a moving car. I never wanted to speak to Amina anymore. That night, Amina didn't come back to the hostel. Anita asked me what had happened when she saw I was covered in dirt from when I jumped and my puffy eyes from tears. I just hugged her. "Where is Amina? I thought you guys were to come back together"she said as she looked behind me for Amina." Probably with her boyfriend "I said remembering what he had said in the car. All night I couldn't sleep, I kept thinking of what happened . I thought Amina was a good friend but I guess I was wrong. As I was thinking, my phone vibrated. It was a message from an unknown number. I checked, it was Reggie, the guy from the party. He was checking up on me, we started chatting, I looked at the time. It was almost 2am. We spoke about a lot of things, he made me forget about what had happened before I told him I needed to sleep. 

I woke up around 12pm , thankfully I didn't have any lectures today. Even if I did , I didn't want to go anywhere. I was hung over and had a splitting headache. Anita screamed after she got off a call. "Amina had an accident yesterday, she is unconscious, let's go and see her" Anita said worriedly . I couldn't tell her that Amina was the last person I wanted to see but I wasn't evil so I went to see her. She had bruises everywhere. She was still very unconscious. She had a bandage over her head with the all back hairstyle , I made for her , the night before. Her makeup was still on but it was smudged and her manicured nails .Anita balled her eyes out seeing her in that state, she ran over to her bed and sat close to the bed. A nurse came and wanted to speak with us so Anita went out with her. I went closer to her, she still looked so beautiful in her condition. I brought out the wipes I had in my bag and started helping her wipe her make up off so her pores could breathe , even if she told that spoilt brat, my secrets and didn't even say anything while he was insulting me, we were still friends. It seemed like she wanted to wake up, I couldn't bare to see her after what happened. I didn't want to say anything I would regret. I started going when she grabbed my hand. "I am so sorry about what happened yesterday. I am sorry I didn't day anything when everything was going on. I am sorry I told him about your dad and George , I was so stupid, we were fighting when he didn't see the car in front of him and we crashed into him" she said in a low and sickly voice. I looked at her as she struggled to talk. "I will break up with him,if that will make you happy " she said as she tried to get up, I gently put her down. "You're sick, worry about yourself before about what happened. When you get better, we will talk " I said as Anita entered and rushed to hug her.
