Just Hold On

32

A/N--I don't know if I mentioned this and I'm lazy to check so it's evening almost night right now in the story.

----ARYA'S POV----

"There you guys are!"I said.

"You said you're working overtime,"Shehry said.

"Tomorrow! I'm working overtime tomorrow,"I said.

"Oh, whoops,"he said.

"Anyways, let's get going,"Atif said.

"Let's go,"I said and we went to mine and Pooja's apartment.

We had gotten another packet to work on while the lab was going on so we decided to just have her work on it with us, since she isn't allowed to be school.

"Pooja!!''I yelled as we walked in.

No response.

"Pooja!!"I yelled again.

Still no response.

"Why don't you guys sit, I'll get her,"I said and went.

I went to her room, but she wasn't there.

I looked around. Why is the medicine cabinet open? I went to close it and made sure everything was still there.

"Pooja!!"I yelled and ran looking for her.

I finally found her and called the guys.

"Pagal ho tum? What the heck are you doing?" I yelled and tried to take the bottle from her.

The guys came by now.

She wouldn't give it, but I ended up snatching it. All the pills fell on the floor.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" She yelled back.

"Pooja, what happen to you?"Atif asked.

"Sab kuch galt hai Ati! Mujha nai jaha yeh zindgi!"She said while crying.

"Par hua kya hai?!"Shehry asked, while I picked up the pills.

"Joh vi hua hai Shehry, it's all my fault. That's what they all say right!"She said.

"Who all?" They asked.

"Everyone! I can't go anything without being at fault. Mai jika kya karu gi, if I can't even get the people that I care about to listen to something. What's the point if they don't want to believe me?"She asked.

"Yeh kya baqwas hai?"Shehry asked.

"Shehry please mujha marna doh. Aap lokh please mujha marna doh!" She said.

"Marna hai tujha?"I asked and she nodded.

"Arya, there's no point in me living! Look at everything I've done!" She said.

"I'm listening to everything. You said that the people you care about. Apparently we don't count in that,"I said.

I gave her the bottle of pills.

"Yeh lo, maro abh ja ka,"I said and stormed out.

"Arya!"I heard someone yell as I left the house.

----Pooja's POV-----

"You do know suicide isn't going to solve anything right?"Ati asked.

"Then what should I do?"I asked. "I even managed to get rid of Arya as well. Kuch bi nahi kardi."

"Relax, Shehry kya na ussa dekhna,"he said.

I sighed he was right.

"I guess,"I said.

"Good, now let's do the homework that we came here to do,"he said.

"Challo,"I said.

---Hussain's POV---

"Wait, wait!!! Stop!!"I yelled.

"Don't do that when I'm driving!" Waqas yelled back.

"Sorry, but I'm almost sure woh Arya hai,"he said.

"Okay, but why would she be out this late and alone?" He asked.

"How am I supposed to know?"I asked.

"Chal, tu dekh kya hua hai,"he said. "We can't stay here. I'll go find a park somewhere and join you."

"Okay,"I said and left.

I ran and caught up with her. I grabbed her arm to make her stop and she slapped me across the face.

"Sh*t!! I thought you were someone else. Oh my God! I'm so sorry,"she said .

"It's okay,"I said and she started walking again.

"Arya!" I said and ran after her.

"Kya hai?"She asked.

"Why have you been crying?"I asked.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it,"she said.

"Arya, listen to me! Just stop for a second!" I said getting frustrated.

To my suprise she did.

"Come, let's sit somewhere,"I said and we found a spot.

"Please tell me what happened to you. Why are you crying? You can't say it's nothing. You're crying and alone this late,"I said.

"Fine, I'll tell you,"she said.

She went on and told me everything that happened from earlier on in the day.

"That's it,"she said.

"You told her to go and die then?"I asked.

"Ya, I was mad. I obviously didn't mean it. Yeh sab Ameesha ki galthi hai, aur woh Pooja, she's thinking yeh sab uski galthi hai,"she said.

"Ameesha isn't the only one at fault. Rohan be hai,"I said.

"True. Pooja is stressing out everything. School, parents, wedding, midterms,"she said.

Did she say wedding?

I was going to ask about it, but she started talking so I decided to just do it later.

"Sain, ek batth puchu?" She asked.

"Bolo,"I said.

"How did you even know it was me walking?" She asked.

"I don't know, to be honest I was like that looks like her so I risked it. Thanks for the slap by the way,"I said.

"Oh. I said sorry nah?"She asked.

"Hey, how's everything?" Waqas asked joining us.

"Good,"Arya said.

"You scared us! This late or akli,"he said.

"Sorry,"she said. "Anyways, I should get going."

"We'll drop you,"I said.

"No, it's fine,"she said.

"Arya, zidd nah karo aur challo,"Waqas said.

"Okay, fine,"she said and we left.

---Pooja's POV---

I never thought I'd say this but homework is helping me feel better. Maybe it's because it got my attention somewhere else.

Shehry came back alone.

"Shehry, Arya kaha hai?"I asked.

"I don't know. I looked everywhere for her,"he said.

"Anyways,"he added a few minutes later. "Ati, we have to go."

We said our byes.

Kaha hoh tum Arya? I don't know where she is and I don't know what state she's in. Just please be okay.
