Girl from Parallel universe -Part 1

18 | Truth

She flinched on my touch. Her eyes hid more secrets than expected. Her brown eyes that kept me away from her true self was finally melting in my embrace.

She cried for almost an hour , hiding her face in my chest , while I caressed her hairs with one hand and kept my other hand on her back avoiding some particular places.

Once she cried her heart out and was ready to speak. I prepared myself mentally for whatever she was going to say.

"Let's meet tomorrow" Just three words. And it's over like that. I was fully prepared to hear what she wanted to tell me.

I spent the rest of the night staring at my ceiling fan. I was restless and curious, what made her brake like that. She is strong not only physically but mentally.

I woke up around 4:25am , from a 10 minutes nap only to dream about Grace is going away from me.

I never knew she existed 3months ago , but now she is an unbreakable part of my life. I don't know how their happened but it is what it is.

I can't sleep anymore.

I quickly grabbed a hood from the laundry bag.

Let's have a walk.

I was out their walking in the park when I saw something. Someone.

Taking as long strides as I can , i quickly covered the distance only to find nothing. Nothing.

Am I hallucinating.

I must have imagined it.

My mind was filled with one thing , one person , Grace.Each and every brain cell of mine was now busy with making assumptions of what's going to happen.

After her mental Break down the previous night. We decided to meet in chemistry lab after morning routine of attendance of all the players taking part in ASEAE ( Annual Sports of Eden's Academy of Excellence).

We can steal a lot of time besides mentoring the participants.

My eyes scanned the whole scene where I imagined someone standing.
It must be my imagination.
My mind is going crazy , The only conclusion I can draw , but.

Wait a minute.

Is that blood.

Something caught my attention, It was not completely day yet , sunrise was still 30 minutes away , but the light was enough to confirm my doubt. Blood.

How is that possible. Am I still hallucinating ? No. Someone was here ? Yes. Who was here ? I don't know.

I guess my life is turning wild. So many mysteries are coming out from their protection. All those mouths , who were quite all this time are finally eager to speak. They want to reveal each and every detail of their dark dirty secrets.

Each and every person today is so observant. Even Sebastian , he objectified me zoning out.

Breakfast. Boring.

At 9 O'clock, each and every selected student was present in their daily meeting to discuss the agenda of today's training and tasks. But as usual Grace was not their. She is the main observer of this training session because she is new in this school. But her task is tough than ours. Students rarely saw her interact with anyone , she just stands at a corner with her usual chin up , mask on and completely unbreakable self.

The meeting seemed to be longer than usual, every second felt like a year. The attendance and task assignment was overwhelming but I was finally free and ready to face whatever she is going to tell me.
