The Untold Story. Part 1

Chapter seventeen

Things went haywire ....

All I could feel was sadness and negativity around me. All the excitement and craziness everyone carried was vanished into thin air. My friends who couldn't stand still and quiet now say no word.

I almost was heartbroken and helpless, I wanted was things to get back to normal, the way they were.

 God! please let this news be wrong. ( I cried).

Soon after the assemble we all headed towards class. Clare was out of space and broken. The girl who couldn't keep her ass on the chair now spoke no word.

It wasn't only me but everyone in class noticed her too.

"What happened Clare?",

This was the only question I heard everyone ask. When our classmates got no answer from her they simply stared at me for one, and yes I had to cook up some story to save her from the question.

"Clare! please don't let yourself down love, the news isn't confirmed yet!" I said

-Silence-

"Clare! I'm talking to you" I said as I got worried.

"Yes Janet?" she said

"I said something Clare, were you even listening?"

"Yes! yes I was, I'm sorry"

As she turned her face at me, I could see the tears fall from her eyes. I was completely shocked and broken.

It's my weakness, I really can't watch anyone sad or cry. I myself am a really emotional girl but when it comes to my friends or even the people I know for that matter, I can't bear the grief.

All I want for everyone is to be happy and smile, I can only be happy if others are, giving up my happiness for their smile is something I could do willingly, as rightly said, 'Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile'.

We soon heard the bell ring for our classes to start.

"Clare we have our classes now, please go and wash your face!" That's all I could say

"Yes!" she replied

Clare had left to wash her face and the class was silent. Carol, Courtney, Lisa and Stefy, they all stared at me and asked being worried,

 "What happened?"

"She has just gone to wash her face" I replied

"Is she ok!"

"Not really"

Soon our teacher entered the class

"Good morning ma'am" we all greeted her as she entered

*Meanwhile Clare entered the class.*

"Good morning girls l" the teacher replied and asked us to sit.

"Are you ok now" I asked Clare

"Hmmm"

"Clare" the teacher said

"Yes ma'am" Clare replied with a fainted voice

"So tell us how did your summer vacation go?"

"Ma'am" she said

"It...!!"

Before she could complete and say anything at all, she broke down and started weeping bad. We all got up our nerves and were tensed.

"Clare please control" Said Courtney from behind

She simply nodded her head.

Clare was too disturbed from the news and we couldn't see her in such a situation. We wanted to see the crazy and energetic Clare she was, the girl who we literally had to be pulled down to lower her hyperactive nature.

The day followed with complete silence.

--------------------------------------

"Hey love" My phones screen displayed.

"Hi David" I replied

"So, how did your day go?"

I had no words to say, I  just didn't know what was I suppose to tell him, and then I ended up texting

"Yea! the day was good"

"Oh ! nice, had lunch?"

"Not yet"

"Have something Janet"

"Yes I will"

The care he portrayed  was not less than a dream come true. I adored the way he took care of me, every tiny bit he did made me fall for him even deeper. Whenever I dreamt of him it all sounded perfect.  

I wish we have a future together. I lived in my imaginary world, where all I felt was love and affection that I had always craved for. My dream was becoming a reality for me and I didn't want it to be taken away.

That moment I think I was falling for real. But I  wasn't sure about it, my conscious wasn't clear.

----------------------------

"Hello"

I received a call from Lisa

"Janet"

"Yes! Lisa' I heard her weep, what's the matter Lisa" I asked

"Janet! the news is true!"

"The news?" I knew what she was talking about but somehow wished it wasn't that

"Yes"

"Tell me"

"Janet"

"Yes" I replied while my heart pounding almost out of my chest

"Augusts did commit suicide!"

My life was never so vulnerable as it was now. That moment I was frozen to death. My heart had almost skipped a beat and I felt completely numb.

"How do you know" still hoping for it to be false

"I just confirmed it from the friend I told you about "

"Did you tell anyone else?"

(My main concern was CLARE!)

"I didn't tell Clare as of now"

"Please don't tell her now, she is already broken!"

"Yea, that's the only reason I didn't"

Things went from bad to worse. Nothing was in control. Loosing a friend that too your friend is a hell of  a big deal. I can't completely understand what Clare might be going through but I know what it feels like when you loose someone.

I just want to be there for Clare, she needs us!

More importantly what was the reason for him committing suicide?

Friends, I might be going out off the topic now but this is something we all must understand and know, suicide attempts in our generation is increasing more than the increase in global-warming I must say.  The tolerance level we youngsters hold is really mild and tiny. There are a number of cases we come across where youngsters commit suicide for little things in life but they don't get it that there might be people whose life is hung on ever step they take. So, please be careful .

In this story of mine Clare is the one who is getting effected on one wrong decision Augustus took. She might just be a  minor case I chose to keep in front of you but the pain in it explains it all.

Please do share in your view. I would love to read them . :)

I'm really glad that you all are liking this story of mine. Please do keep up your interest,  I will try my level best to keep you all keen and interested :)
