Short Story

My Love - 2

One night

I got kidnapped. I was in a dark shed when I opened my eyes. They kidnapped me for the money, but something inside me was telling me that wasn't all happening here. My hands were tied at the back, but maybe they're a bit dumb, my legs was free to move.

They were talking among themselves, not knowing that I was up. I slowly and quietly got up and went for the opens I could see.

But no luck, one of them soon found out and came chasing after me. I ran. But that wasn't good enough. The man was way faster than me and soon he was behind me. I needed to live, so without thinking, I kicked him. Hard.

He fell on his back, which was enough time for me to run again. But soon again, I was caught. Without any time to kick him, he threw me back towards the middle. I travelled quite a distance. I couldn't even move properly nor stand up. Two stood around me and I saw them smiling in anger.

I don't think they cared whether I was a girl or not, whether I was a person they were going to use to get money from. They just kicked me and stamped on me hard several times. I couldn't do anything. I hurted so much but I couldn't defend myself.

"We don't care how you look, because we hate you! Not just you, but your family! Because of you guys, we lost job, family and money! We didn't kidnap you for just money, but to put revenge on your family, and you made us angry, you deserve it"

This is what he said.

After they got tired, they went back to their place. Every single place hurted. I couldn't open my left eye and I could see things blurry. I could taste blood in my mouth and smell it. I could feel my body sticky with my own blood. I couldn't move.

I just wanted to die.

I couldn't handle this anymore, I wanted to give up on everything. I didn't want to feel it anymore.

And from a distance, I heard someone coming towards me.

"I'm taking her. You all have problem with dad, but I have it with her, so I'll take her" I recognised this voice. But I couldn't see properly. "I had enough, I want to finish it"

Then he lifted me up and sat me on the seat inside the car next to the driver's seat. I couldn't control myself. My head flopped and leaned on the window. He went and sat on the driver's seat. The car was started and was running now.

"I'm going to kill you"

"Bri..."

I was shocked enough, so I didn't have the energy to react to anything.

"Did you know that? I hated you so much. I always hated you. You won't know how hard I tried not to show my hatred to anyone" I couldn't understand, why, I wanted to ask but I couldn't. It was just my tears that showed any sign towards his words.

"Do you know why? My mum used to work at that company, and one day, she accidentally spilled a hot cup of tea on you. I heard you got burnt and went to the hospital, but it wasn't that serious. But your dad fired my mum, just because of that. My mum tried to get a new job but because of your dad, she couldn't work at any place. We got poor very soon. And my mum, jumped off a high building and died. All because of you and your dad, she died." His tears was prickling down.

"So since, I lived just to have a revenge on you. That is why I went to the high school you were in, and uni. Well, I didn't know you were going to confess, but I thought that was going to be more easier. I lied to you and you never knew. It was hard being with you everyday. And these days, I can't help it. I can't keep my smiling face next to you anymore. I had enough. So today is the day to give you revenge."

I couldn't believe what he was saying, but I was sure that I was insane, I couldn't feel any hatred towards him.

"Kill me" I couldn't help myself anymore. The pain was all over my body and it was too painful to live. I just wanted to die and stop the pain. "Please I rather die, it is too painful" It was awful, every pain digged into my skin and into my bone. I couldn't feel much anymore. My body was getting numb, except for the pain.

"If you wish" he got is gun out and pointed towards me.

"But can you do it so it doesn't hurt...? Its already too painful..." While I was talking, blood dribbled down from my mouth.

"I'll try, if I can" His tears started to come down more.

"I love you, Brian..." My words faded.

I turned my body so it is facing towards the window. I didn't want to see it since it will more scary. My body was shaking in fear. I tried to loosen my body and relax it.

Silence.

ZING

I felt the bullet dig into my skin. He shot my left shoulder.

But I couldn't really feel any pain, don't know why. Maybe because I was already too sick to feel anymore.

I couldn't move my body anymore, so it automatically loosened its muscle and slowly my back touched the seat. Through my blurry eye, I could see blood all over my leg, I could feel the blood trickling down.

I slowly closed my eye.

"Mum, I did it..." He started to sob... why?

But slowly, his sobbing faded away in darkness and I was in complete dark.

I see light. I opened my eyes. It was bright and full of life and happiness.

I looked around.

Then I found myself sitting in the cafe, laughing and chatting with my friends.
