However 💕

CHAPTER- 15

I see the great escape, so long, Daisy May

I picked the petals, he loves me not

Something different bloomed,

writing in my room

I play my songs in the parking lot

I'll run away

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes

I called a taxi to take me there

I search the party of better bodies

Just to learn that my dreams aren't rare

You're on your own, kid You always have been"

This is what my mind is playing, I don't know why I've become so moody nowadays my mind is fucked up all the times I thought my menstrual cycle was the reason behind this restlessness but no, even Evy is confused seeing my behaviour I'm giving her cold shoulder for no obvious reasons but atleast she hasn't left me like other people do, this is what it is people just take the easier way out and just leave the people they can't handle they don't try even. People around me are trying to lift my mood up Sky kept coming to give company to me he has almost made our place his home, he knows everything here, Hans called me to check up on me. But the restlessness is still there. I won't blame Cliff for it this time, he has been practically vocal that day and he cleared off my delusions that we can fall on the same side of the page we can't really and now I just don't want to see him this stupid attraction is laying pretty heavy on my back. As soon as the paper work for the land would be done I would remove him from my life I'll just cut off him entirely I've been saying the same thing about coffee since 5 years but that case is different so apparently I'll try atleast and if I have to I'll remove Sky too cause that'll keep them in peace but what if Evy decides to leave too, removing Evy would be tough for me but life has never been easy to me emotionally. Cliff's words were like stabs the things he threw dignity, class, fire, I don't know he was warning me or himself, but whatever it is I won't go around men who treat you like shit. But still it hurts. Trust me I'm feeling like moving far away from this place and people. So I got up early from the bed got dressed up and drove out of the house although I'm terrible with directions but maps allocated in the cars are really helpful after twists and turns with aimless driving I reach to the sea shore. I filled the air in my lungs, I sit on the beach, the warm sand beneath me, the cool breeze whispering through my hair. The sunlight dances across the waves, creating a mesmerizing melody of light and sound. But I feel none of it. My mind is a void, numb and empty, as I gaze out at the endless blue. The hurt and confusion from his sudden rejection still linger, like the ebbing tide. I feel lost, a small boat adrift in a vast ocean, unable to find its way back to shore. The beauty of the world around me is a cruel contrast to the ugliness I feel inside. I try to make sense of it all, but my thoughts are a jumbled mess, like the seaweed tangled on the beach. I thought we had a connection, a spark that ignited something real. But now, I'm left wondering if it was all just a mirage, a fleeting illusion. The waves keep rolling in, indifferent to my pain, a reminder that life goes on, no matter how broken I feel. This reminded me that I was here to restore the lost Voila so I can walk back with my head held high. I cancelled off many missed calls from Evy and Skyler I threw my phone aside cause I felt like my throat isn't forming words and I'mnt in a condition to talk to people right now I didn't realise I was crying. After calming my self down chanting that Via no shit eater deserves overpowering your mental peace and an hour later I cleared the forming tears and picked up the call. One thing I know for sure I'm not in a state of driving back.

***************

.....Evy's Pov.....

I've been calling Via for past three hours and she hasn't pick up a single call but now it's clear in my head she's really low today I've noticed that she has been particularly upset since quite a time. But I thought these are her regular mood swings.
She was not having meals with me not travelling with me. She has also been a little distant I thought that giving her space would help her But now i'm realizing that I didn't played my part properly, I was so stuck in my mess that I didn't noticed what my best friend is going through. Even Sky told me that Via is behaving little weird nowadays and all I told his was ''give her some time she'llcome backto her self on her own" . A fter several calls I lost my patience I called Sky to aske where he is and as he told me he's in the office with Cliff I took my car and drove to their work place. I went to Cliff's office directly and told him and Skyler about how no one knows where Via is. I saw the color fading from Cliff's face and his tensed expression cannot e maske. I and Skyler called her several times but still no answer I never knew she's developing this shit for Cliff. I can sense it all now that is why she was trying to get away from him, she's such a professional person she never tries to escape from people this was the reason, now it sits all right and I was the one to practically push him towards her. Fuck! I can't lose her she means everything to me. I suddenly lost it and I went closer to Cliff and said I know you must have said something hurtful to her cause you were the last one to meet her, I didn't saw her in the morning nor did Aunty Lizzy She left before I wake up and she didn't took her breakfast, I highly doubt you are behind the mess so you better pray god's that she's safe and sound otherwise I would go to every extinct to ruin your entire existence. And I mean it. Sky nudged me and said "Don't blame Cliff without any reason and you requested him to look after her" I answered "cause I'm a fool" I was about to add something else when he spitted "I said what she needed to listen" I felt like slapping the shit out of him but I'll take it for Via's sake, cause one strange thing I can claim is that she's bipolar maybe she won't appreciate my rude behaviour with him. Before I can stress myself out she finally called my back I picked the call with sudden tears in my eyes I can feel she's been crying I muttered "Via where you are, tell me you're fine" she took a little time and replied "I'm at the sea shore, I was fucked up so I drove here but now I can't drive back I just can't" that shattered my heart the strongest woman I have ever known is so messed up that she can't drive back to her own home and I saw it all happening infront of eyes. I told her to stay wherever she is and send me the location and thankfully she did. I was about to leave to bring her when Sky urged to follow and I agreed Cliff also suggested to come along but I gave him a firm warning "Try coming near her without her consent and i'll be no nicer"

We fortunately picked her up safe and sound she had a little fever ofcourse she would have, she's sensitive to dust and cold. We fed her the prescription allotted by the doctor she confessed me that her mental stability quotient turned low today and she was actually out of rationality but she has atleast promised to share from next time, that's itself a relief.

Sky asked her if she wanna join Cliff for the party we need to attend next day that made me damn mad because they people can't see the disraughted condition of someone I was about to leash out, but she told him that she has a partner planned already and then I remembered it is 'Hans' he has already asked her yesterday and now it'd fun if Cliff stresses out overnight wondering who is she coming with. I believe if he likes her he should atleast be civil to her even if he can't show her the wonders he should show her his real personality.
I tucked Via to bed waited till she slept and sent Sky off after assuring her that I'll be his partner tommorow, now being Via's best friend and her personal dress designer I http look at dress and assesories we both would be wearing tommorow. The party is important cause Mr. Hawarthon is Uncle Ashbourne's buisness partners . I have loads of work and I am here gossiping with myself. Such a good for nothing lady.
