Just For A Perfect Life

Chapter 7

RECAP:

He called K and as soon as she saw me she jumped up and down in excitement. After small talk with her parents I went to her room. She shut the door and I burst out about the lie I had told her father in reply she said,” wow you lie good”

Her reply had as if touched a cord, I felt bad as my other lies played in my head but then she was laughing hard.

“Guess you are not used to it, so did my brother tell you much about me? And if what you said to dad was not true then where were you?” She asked raising her eyebrows.

Then I started telling all about Ryan and what happened. She was so happy I was there. She showed my around her house which was big and neatly furnished. It seemed as if her mom took great care of it.

I loved it wishing that one day I would also be able to have one like this.

I was changed since that night; Ryan was all I could think about. I felt a change in myself, I was happy and felt as if my life was fast moving towards perfect. I had a new energy in me. I was working hard as mom and me repacked what little stuff we had to move to that apartment/flat. I worked all day and packed at night still I was fresh as anything in morning just because I got to see Ryan but we met or talked only secretly. 

During the week I had met Jacob twice at the bus stop on my way back. He had noticed the recent change in me, which had brought about mixed emotions. On our first meeting the bus had come in a few minutes and I was saved from his company. The second was the last meeting, as I moved on the coming weekend and my way back home changed. He was again telling me how he loves me but he won't force me and a day will come that I will walk to him. Little did he know that it won't happen, I had thought when leaving without looking back for those who look back long to come back, I wanted to end it once and for all. Although it did not end, I still received letters from him saying he knows where I live and he is waiting for me. It disturbed me a bit that somehow his letters, to which I never replied, were getting aggressive and it seemed as if he was losing patience.

It was Saturday morning; we had a carnival kind of thing at school. I was excited as always at the prospect of seeing Ryan. I dressed myself in bright colors. Mom was home and was happy to see me finally as a normal teenager. I kissed her on cheek on my way out as she bargained with a person on phone for something. I left the apartment happy for another good day of my life. It had been great lately. Months had passed since we had moved. It was cold now and so the carnival was in the morning. I enjoyed my walk there in sun. The warmth tickled my skin and I loved it.   

The carnival was huge. It was being held near our school in open ground. I found K waiting at 'pink cotton candy' stall for me as we had decided earlier. We went around the whole place looking for where to start. My eyes meanwhile searched impatiently for Ryan. After we got off from a ride I saw him standing by a drinks stall with his friends. When our eyes met he smiled and that smile made my day.

Well at least until we were all being called to a stage where the band was to play. The whole crowd gathered around. A guy spoke in microphone that the band was here, everyone started to cheer and enjoy their singing. In all the shouting and fun I enjoyed myself to the fullest as k and I cheered for them on top of our throats along with everyone else. I could see Ryan in distance enjoying himself and he would eventually give me one of his magnificent smiles. Nothing could destroy this perfect moment. Nothing, I thought.

 I was wrong. The band sang a rock and roll song, with drums playing on their loudest. After a song or two they slowed down on an anonymous request. Suddenly my name was announced by the voice I hated the most. Followed by a call to come upstage and dance with him.

 It was Jake and he had said, “So this song is being played for Anne, my girlfriend, it’s a special and the sweetest thing I could think of, I am pretty sure she WON’T deny it”

He said with an emphasis on won’t, a smirk playing on his face. I had no choice but to go upstage. The song started playing and Jake danced with me. He was close, very close. My relationship with Ryan was until now a successful secret and Ryan had not once questioned me. Suddenly I was pulled close and out of my thoughts. My lips met his, in disgust I tried to pull away but I failed.

 From the corner of my eye I saw Ryan, surprised and angry at the same time, then he turned around and left…
