Jake's Winter Is Forever #Wattys2016

Stitches

It was my gran who opened the door , she immediately yanked me in to her arms after seeing my wet and gimpy face.

" Who is she ? " gran asked with prejudice.

Words failed to express my grief and I pushed her off , running up stairs to my room and closed the door furiously.

I threw myself into the bed harder , few minutes of Gasp's and nose leaks along with tears wet my otherwise peppy bed.

Stacey had always been close to me from sophomore , I don't know how I missed to guess that she had a boyfriend other than me.

She knows how much I love her and she did too , but she never accepted it , she had always shown me her love face , giving me every possible pleasure except the ultimate one.

And now she emerges with an idea of marriage.

Shit hell I groaned. She has dumped me.

The shower helped me get over my burning indignation , leaving me with an empty mind.

I tried harder to forget the pleasant memories I had with her which as time passed tormented me.

Emily walked in with supper as I propped over the headboard in my bed.

She placed it carefully on my table and gave me a scorning look.

" Stacey right ? " Emily raised her eyebrows.

I nodded grimly.

" Eat and sleep , forget that bitch " she said curtly her eyes radiating anger.

Then she slid her fingers on my hair brushing with desire and kissed me on my cheeks.

I didn't respond as usual.

" Good night " she nodded trotting back to her home.

Emily and I grew up together , she lived next doors to mine with her mom. We both went to same school but she was one year younger than me.

She always kept a track of me - my friends - new girl friends and every detail of what I'm doing.

I remember when I exactly met her , that was the first day I came to my gran's home at ten after my parents got divorced officially.

She grinned at me the very first day standing in front of home under the tree that bloomed with yellow flowers.

I don't know suddenly what happened, may be from the day I got some new girl friends , i was developing a hatred towards her which I couldn't resist myself.

She never showed back , I always ignored her but she'll be back consoling and helping me.

I chewed some supper and fell asleep very fast that I couldn't guess when.

The morning sun had set its radiance straight on my window which fell then on my face waking me up everyday on time.

It's is the last week of my highschool , I couldn't think of anything, years had passed like a fast rain cloud.

I walked alone for the first time to my school not to mention Emily always walked with me , but who cares?

She moved swiftly ensuring no one brushed past me , especially girls.

Her hair French braided in to a thin strip , with her hands inside the pocket she moved with the same stance when she was ten but the teenage has sprinkled some styles to her move.

We reached the One eyed Pete's shop , which was the land mark for our school , being located just opposite to it.

So I had to cross the road , I moved slow with preoccupied mind , just following Emily's foot steps but she was a bit faster.

I heard a sudden horn of a car very close to my ears , when I turned aside it hit me hard on my knees I made a few flips and landed on the next side of the road.

" Mother of a slut " I heard a distant cry.

Emily rushed to me shouting.

She gave a poor try to lift me. I shouted in pain " No I can't get up "

I saw her desperate eyes screaming for help.

Tears welled up in her eyes with her each try to lift me, then she brought a taxi from somewhere.

She made me inside with the passers help , I lied on her lap and her eyes poured out which savoured and cleaned my face.

The cry in her eyes was strong both tensed and wandering.

She held my hands tight and she nodded weeping " You'll be alright ".

That's what I all remember and then blur.
