It is 7 AM and I am standing on my roof staring at the sky above. I couldn't sleep tonight, not even for a few minutes. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see someone running in a meadow along with a few other people. The next thing I saw was the rough image of a girl with long brown hairs. But I couldn't see her face. And another thing which I saw was a lady crying.
I just couldn't understand what did all these things meant. It was so difficult for me to connect these pieces which were a part of a big jig-saw puzzle.
As usual, the doorbell rang when I was busy thinking about my night mares.
I went downstairs to take my letter from the postman. He was a bit sad today but I didn't ask him why. I have my own problems to deal with, don't I?
Today, there were no photographs, no gifts or a flower. It was just the letter.
For some reason, my heart was beating rapidly.
As I opened the letter, I saw that the ink of the pen was smudged at certain places. it appeared as if....as if someone was crying while writing.
Dear Stranger,
I don't know what to do with myself. I don't even wish to live anymore. What happened with me yesterday has drained out all my energy. I don't if I should apologize to you or just write to you about the stuffs that happened.
I remember that you used to tell me not to get too close to a guy. But I never actually cared about those words. I always laughed at you whenever you instructed me regarding these things. That was because I believed that if I am good to people, I'll get the same goodness in return. But yesterday i was proved wrong.
I did tell you that Justin and I would be going out for a ride, didn't I? Well we did. He took me along with him in my aunt's car. For some distance I was pretty excited about the fact that I was going out on a ride but when he drove out of the town of Miami and that to too far from the place, my body began to tense. On asking, Justin said that it was a surprise and that I'd really love it.
But stranger, I didn't like what happened after that. He parked the car on the side of the road. The road was not at all busy; hardly any vehicle passed from there. He first moved his hand to touch my thighs moving them all the way up. I wanted to run away but he had locked the doors. I cried and begged him to let me go but he didn't. He stopped only when he was "done" with me.
I so wish to die at the moment! I want you to be here stranger. I want you to take care of me! I am broken. I never thought that something like this would happen to me. Please come to me. Engulf me in your arms, entwine your fingers in mine and love me the way you used to.
I love you! I so damn love you.
But for now I wish to die.
Come back, please?
Yours
Emily
The only thing that I wish to do at the moment was blow up that guy's head!
I am so scared. Will I get a letter tomorrow?
Hey everyone! Thank you for the immense support that you all have given me through out this time. I hope you all like this book and the story so far.
I have made yet another change in the time span of the story. It is now 3 months. I had to do this because of the lack of time.
Enjoy reading the book and lemme know about your thoughts.
