THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY

CHAPTER-37

UNEDITED

It was hard..

Am i the only who knows that avalon is actually.....dead!?

I was kind of good at keeping secrets, was strong, was bold..but not anymore..
Everything is gone as i came here. All my arrogant qualities that i used..... to survive on this planet.. but now what will i do?

This secret is too much for me to keep..and the sad part is that i can't keep this as a secret..it shouldn't be a secret.

" I'm glad you know.." avalon said.

" oh please..not anymore avalon" i said. my blood boiling all over.

I don't know why am i angry..for not telling me that she's a ghost? or cause she's dead? Or cause she's letting me face all the hard part.

" It's been two years...that i've been waiting to let you know...about me..where i am..how i became like this.."

Her words came out of pain. i felt it. i felt sorry for her.

" Yea...till now i didn't get the answer for the last one...how...did you become like this?" I said calming my self down.

" How many times do i have to tell you that i can't tell you...savy.."

That irritated me.

" Damn avalon! just spit it out...! why are you keeping it as if you're waiting for another spectacular day so you can reveal the climax of your story!"

She sighed in anger. Her red eyes
are really scary..but still she's beautiful even though she've turned to worst like a complete ghost from the first time i saw her.

" You wanna know why...cause of this!" she shouted lifting her gown to her thighs.

I saw scratches on her thighs..as if someone scratched her thigh with a knife. it looked deep. The blood has already dried. it looked painful. I could barely look at it.

" Oh my god!" i said closing my mouth. " How..how did this happen?''

" For telling you the secrets...that i'll let you know..that i can't tell anything to you..that i can't control myself...." she looked down."i'm not suppose to reveal it with my mouth...but i did..cause i couldn't see you in pain" she said her eyes filled.

" Avalon.." that sympathetic girl in me pushed down my anger.

" Can you hold this pain...?" Tears ran down her face. "you're lucky that at least you can die in pain..but i can't...i have to feel it...i have to" she said sobbing.

Our brown carpet is turning grey now.

" I hate this Savana! i hate this...being invisible to everyone when i'm actually there..being inaudible to everyone...being dead!! i hate this...i hate the way i am..look at me! i can't even go back to where i came from...i'm stuck here! i need some peace!!!" she cried her heart out...kneeling down.

Now our floor is dark grey..

Somehow tears crowded my eyes. I can feel her ache in my body. i never thought she had such difficult situations. she always seemed happy. I can never hold a situation like this..

" I'm sorry-" my words barely came out.

" You don't have to be...you didn't do anything wrong" she said. " i'm just asking you one thing...help me get out of here..help me go back"

Our carpet is completely black now.

I blinked my tears off and nodded.
