You First and Last

9. It's him, my real Friend

The day has come where Christopher has to leave us and go... It's so hard to stay without a person who made us always laugh even if we were in some really bad mood. Christopher's flight was at 7am at morning and me, Simran and Devin wanted to give a memorable send off for our dearest friend Christopher. We all got ready and almost reached the airport by 6:30 am " hurry guys we have to find him as soon as possible, or else he is gonna board his plane" I shouted. As we rushed through the glass doors airport, and finally we saw him getting his passport checked by the officers. " Christopher wait...." i shouted, he turned back to look who was it and his eyes were filled with tears when he saw us he slowly ran towards us and gave a big hug to us..... All of us were in tears and we had to control it because we have to give a happy send off to Christopher and we shouldn't make him feel bad while he is leaving so we just controlled ourselves and had a smile on our face. Simran on other hand tried to control as much as possible but she couldn't do it, so she burst out of tears in front of everybody in Christopher's arms... this was really hard for me to control my tears because i can feel how bad Simran feels inside. I had to pull her back from Christopher, So that he doesn't misses his plane. Finally we waved him for the very last time with those teary eyes and we stayed until he boarded his plane. We took a while to come out of it and we left the airport as soon as possible because we had to attend our classes at school

I rushed to my house and got ready as soon as possible and reached to the bus stop before the bus arrived. I saw that girl who was Devin's childhood friend sitting in my place which was beside Devin and we giggling together. I went to her courageously and said her" excuse me this is my place"..... She turned to me with a attitude face and told " your name isn't written here isn't it...??. OMG how much attitude does she have with her it's so not good for a person to have so much attitude with them . I answered " It's always me who sits beside Devin and we are good friends , so i prefer you to move from my place so that i could sit beside him." She just stood up and pushed me "Devin is my good friend not yours..... Stop keeping assumptions you know" she shouted. "guys stop fighting " Devin shouts from the back. " I'm not the one who is fighting can't you see that " she says with the same tone. "what the hell" i shouted. " guys stop Ava please dude sit somewhere else today no please ". " But Devin " i murmered " Please Ava one day please" Devin requested me. I went and sat in some other place, i looked into her face and saw that attitude smile which pictured that as if she won. I felt really bad that Devin took her side instead of mine but its really ok because he requested me without shouting at me. I heard too many of giggles from their end. I just couldn't control it any longer and I pulled out my earphone and started to listen to Swift's songs on high volume ,as i could relate to her songs so much and relaxed myself so much.

For the first ever time i felt really lonely walking down the corridor because every time i walked till now i was with Devin and suddenly he was not there and i felt really lonely out there but i somehow picked myself up and walked into the classroom with a heavy heart. I didn't wanted to look at Devin and that girl's face and i knew that they both would have sat next to each other, so i didn't want to look at them at all. I went and sat next to the window and Simran came and sat beside me " Ava why that girl is so touchy with Devin i just don't understand". I felt really irritated when she said that " please Simran give me some time, I'm going through the same shit from the time i got up the bus.... I'll be ok after sometime , Don't worry about me". First class was history it is one of my favorite classes and the whole time i ended up staring outside the window without listening to the class. My mind is really messed up with all this thoughts and suddenly a thought just hit my mind saying that what if Devin and her get into a relationship " ahhhh "i shouted in front of everyone and everyone kept quiet ,i got so embarrassed that i ran out the class and relaxed leaning on the wall.

I was wondering how it would be if Devin came and calmed me down like he always does. "Ava...." somebody shouted, it felt like Devin's voice but i assumed that it was him and turned towards him.... OMG it was actually Devin, he was running toward me "Ava what happened why did you shout and ran away from the classroom in front of everyone " he asked. i didn't even listen to him, i was lost and as soon as he came near me i just fell into his arms and started crying so bad, his voice just triggered my emotions and this time i couldn't control it at all, literally all of the emotions which i was controlling from morning just came out in his arms. "It was quiet for a while and Devin let me to put all of it out so that i feel ok after sometime. "Ava are you okay now..?? It's fine Ava I don't now what you are going through but if you wanna share something which is bothering you, so that you feel light , i'm here for you. Whatever it is good or bad i won't judge you for anything. Only if you wanna really put it out I'm there for you " He said.

I calmed myself down "Devin i really want to tell you something but not here let's go near the fountain bench" i said. We reached and sat on the bench I looked in eyes and said "Devin, I Don't know why but i feel so scared where i'll loose you . I really wanna make myself clear that i don't want to loose you no matter what and it's really hard for me to take that. The incident which happened in the morning made me overthink a lot and i couldn't take it at all. From the bottom of my heart I'm saying this Devin I really want to stay in your company no matter what. It's not that I'm jealous of her and all it was just that i don't wanna loose you no matter what". Devin held my hands and told " Ava i did not know that incident would hurt you so much but today i want to make myself also clear that even i enjoy being in your company and you make me happy like no one else ever does, so no way on earth i'm loosing a friend like you ever. I'm promising you that i'm gonna stay your friend no matter what ok ..... and i promise that ". and the sun sets and we reach home
