Broken Reunion

Chapter 1

"Are you coming?" Brittney asks.

I finally look up from the magazine I just read and sit up a little as I check out the dress she's wearing.

"Again?" I ask.

"Nahh, I just dressed up for a fucking 2 hours for fun," she rolls her green eyes.

I smile a little. Her sarcasm never failed to light up my mood.

"Hold on there." My eyebrows knitted together. "Why is it becoming our weekly routine now?"

She leans a little to my bed, "The question here is.. why does it even matter?" She turns to the full length mirror hung behind our dorm's door and starts to fix her red hair. "You know I'm never gonna stop until you get a boyfr-" she stops herself midway, knowing it's wrong to mention about it.

"Britt.." I bury my face in my palms and sigh. Even the word boyfriend can be the trigger to the painful memories. "I don't think I can do this."

She turns back, walks over to my bed and pulls me until I stand up straight in front of her.

She places her hands on both of my shoulders and looks me in my sky blue eyes, "You promised me you're going to get over that asshole whatever his name is," she reminds me with face full of concerns and a soft tone in her voice.

"I know but..." I sigh. "It hasn't been that long after the..." I pause, trying to put the word in a nice way and end up shaking my head and sigh again.

She walks over to the closet, searching through her dresses, hanger by hanger and finally takes one of it and hands it to me, "Trust me. You need this."

I close my eyes in frustration as she pushes my back to the attached bathroom inside our dorm, "Move your ass sistah. We're going hunting tonight." She says in a sing-song voice.

Just as I turn to protest, she closes the door behind me with a thud, "Don't worry, Reena. I'll be right here!" She shouts from outside the door.

Worry? I scoff, rolling my eyes that it lands to my left.

My left.

The window is opened.

Strange.

I walk to the window and look around the neatly fresh cut lawn outside. The smell. Umm.. Somehow, I find it peaceful. I've missed it for too long. It reminds me of.... home.

I place my right hand on my chest. It hurts. Why can't I come home?

Should I just sneak out from the window?

I look below.

Hmm.. 2 storeys high. Probably gonna break an arm or two-

The cold night breeze hit me and a sense of deja vu wash over me as I shudder. I close the window almost immediately and step away from it.

"You know it's not worth risking your life." She cuts in.

Great. Now she can read my mind too?

"Oh don't be dumb, Reena. You were literally thinking out loud."

I shake my head at her comments and walk towards the door. I hang the dress on the hook behind it, sit down on the toilet bowl and mess up my hair out of frustation.

I stay there for a few minutes, thinking about all the memories and the overwhelming feeling of pain in my chest as if it just happened yesterday with my messed up hair covering my face.

Should I go?

or

Should I not go?

What if it's gonna turn out bad?

What if I lose control of my self again?

What if..

What if...

Ah fuck this!

After awhile, I finally stand up and take a look at the dress.

"You know what Britt?" I shout over for her.

"Hmm?"

"Let's do this," I nod. Eyes still locked at the dress.

She poke her head in between the door and the doorframe, eyebrows raised and eyes wide.

"Really?" she asks for confirmation.

I turn my head to her, "Absolutely."

She squeals before she places back her phone to her ear and closes the door once again behind me. "She finally agreed." She informs the person at the end of the line.

I put the dress over me with another hand holding up my mid length chestnut brown with streaks of pink hair and look in the mirror.

"Let's rock and roll, Kathreena." I whisper to myself.
