Chapter 4
Everything seemed blurry. I was running so fast it actually started to blur my vision. I couldn’t comprehend the images or the way I was going. I knew the only thing right to do was escape. And that’s what I was trying to do. Escaping Aaron.
I have never in a bazillion years thought this could actually happen. I mean isn’t it too cliché to come across your childhood buddy you were trying to forget past these years. Well, he wasn’t just a bud. He was special to me. Really special. And now, I could feel no power in me to avoid him anymore. He has grown big enough to look incredibly handsome. His features were beyond explanation. And no doubt, he’s still an angel like I knew him back then. I felt someone grasp my hand suddenly and stop me. I knew I was looking like a maniac but this was my only chance. I am not going to give in to anyone. Not even Aaron.
“Let go of my hand” I muttered twirling around to see the source.
“Stop acting so weird, Lizzie!” Erna shouted. “What has gotten into you?”
“I…” I trailed off. I can’t tell her who he was or why I ran away. “I needed to pee, let go” I said again, and walked away. Erna stood where she was not trying to stop me. I am damn sure she’ll think of me as some maniac. Well, I can’t blame her. And I don’t care.
And walked into the nearby washroom and stood right in front of the mirror. I splashed water on my face again and again. What was wrong with me? Am I over-reacting? I just don’t know. It all happened so fast, I couldn’t understand where the life was leading me to. I slid my cell phone open and dialed mom’s number. After a couple of rings, she picked up.
“Mom?”
“Lizzie, honey? Everything okay?”
“Everything not okay, mom. I need you to pick me up. I can’t stay any longer over here”
“Wait hold on. Did someone bully you?”
“No, mom. Nobody did anything. It’s just me, I don’t feel good. Please, I can’t plead anymore” I said as I hung up the phone.
Not longer than a minute, I felt someone come in. Erna had her hands folded as she walked in. She looked at me, calmness on her face.
“Hey” She started.
“Hey” I replied looking away, “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude.”
“No harm done. I don’t think you’re gonna stay for two more classes, are you?”
“I can’t”
She nodded, understanding. “Well then, someone’s standing outside for you.”
