‘Heya sis welcome’
‘Hello’ said in an excited way
‘You look excited? Any reason behind it?’
Julia exclaimed with her happiness exploding ‘EMILY AND I’M GOING TO DISNEY LAND AFTER HER SEMESTER IS OVER!!!!’
Asimov took a second for realisation, ‘NO!’
Julia got irritated by him, when he wasn’t just letting her be happy ‘WHAT’S UP WITH YOU ASIMOV!? YOU WEREN’T LIKE THAT? WHY YOU CAN’T SEE ME HAPPY? WHY? I ASKED YOU WHY YOU ARE JUST RUINING MY FRIENDSHIP.’
Asimov with a hushed and apprehensive voice replied to her questions which broke Julia into pieces.
‘I know a’
‘What do you know!?’
‘I checked cctv of past five years’
‘So what?’
‘I got to- got to knew a bitter truth’ gaspedAsimov.
‘What do you know?’
Asimov kept his mouth stitched
‘I ASKED YOU WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?’
‘It was Em- Emily, she lied’
‘WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? WHAT DID SHE LIE ABOUT?’
‘You-you need to see some- something’
Asimov showed her the footage ‘the bitter truth’ which he was hiding from months
Julia moved backwards, her brain wasn’t working, screamed ‘NO! NO! THIS- THIS CANT BE TRUE!!’
As she was going backwards, she slipped and fell so hardly on floor, causing her head to bleed.She didn’t care about the blood she sat, put her head on legs and cried her eyes out and was screaming
Asimov when saw Julia like this, his tears were also flowing all over his face, he couldn’t resist it.He went to comfort Julia and said her to go to the hospital which was nearby, as soon Asimov tried to hold her hand as to take her to hospital, Julia while pushed his hand screamed
‘DON’T TOUCH ME! IT WOULD BE GREAT IF I DIE’She started harming herself, after a minute or two she fainted
Asimov in a rush with a sense of panic dialled to ambulance.*****
‘Sis!’
With her half eyes opened, she in a hushed voice replied ‘did you tell Emily, that I’m here?’
‘No’
As she remembered the footage she saw she said ‘call the police’
‘What? Why?’
‘There’s a murderer freely roaming in our town and you’re asking me why’
‘but-‘
Julia screamed ‘DO IT’ and started to stand up while she did this, she was so weak so she got fainted again
‘Sis!’
Asimov called the nurses.
He whispered to himself ‘I know this could happen, why Emily? You did this to your own best friend? Your childhood best friend?’
*****Doctors told Asimov that she in now fine and he can take her back home, as soon as Julia saw Asimov she didn’t cared about anything and just asked ‘did you reported the police’
‘I did and they must be searching for her now’
‘Give them her address’ Emily said in a low voice
They were at home now, Asimov’s phone ringed, Julia asked him to pick it and put it on speaker
‘Hey Asimov’
‘What to do you want?’ he asked in a rude manner
‘Well I was just wondering If Julia is alright she isn’t picking up my calls’
‘She is dead, don’t call me now’
Asimov hanged up the call and then called the police, told her address.Julia again wrote an application to confront Emily in room, alone. Her application was accepted but this time there was a change, Julia could confront her alone in a room but after the decision is made, the decision of the judiciary.
Julia was filled with sadness yet she realized she had no alternative except to just accept the reality, her eyes were filled with tears

‘Asimov was right, Emily isn’t good for me, she did it. She lied…Asimov showed me the truth, the footageEmily had a knife in her hand...a knife. They were talking, Emily just went near Anna...Anna closed her eyes, and...Emily stabbed the knife right into Anna’s heart
Strange, Emily cried for hours after that. How anyone could do this to her childhood best friend?Tomorrow is maybe the last day, last day I will get to see Emily or is it Emily’s last day? I- I didn’t wanted it, but I had to. Why she lied to me? Why she kil- did so wrong with Anna? Weren’t they were best friends?
I’m sorry Anna…I’m sorry
When you don’t know how to feel
When it’s over but you just can’t get over it
When it’s just like a depressed reel
When she is the reason behind all this
When you’re crying inside
The voices that are taking over your mind
When you just can’t say anything
When you’re just not capable of doing anything
How do you deal?
With all these things?
With the flashbacks of memories you are having with a thrill?She wrote all this with a heavy heart.
