Save Me Please | The Bomb Digz

Chapter 16

" CALM DOWN, STOP PUNCHING ME, ALIYAH STOP, ITS SETH." How did this mysterious person know my name? I don't know a Seth. And why has he stopped me, out of any time in my life it happens now? Ugghhh. Our eyes meet and I am immediately confused. "Sssseth... that's your name, bbbbut how?" Either my mind is playing tricks with me or something is not right with this kid.   "How could this be.... YOU TOLD ME YOUR NAME WAS JOSH!! Ugghhhh" I walk WTAF. Why did he lie to me about his name? 

"Aliyah, don't be like that just let explain, here take my jacket your  going to freeze to death in this weather." He says, taking off his jacket. "I don't need a jacket from someone who lied to me about a simple name. And plus I've been living in England for the majority of my life, a little bit of rain isn't going to kill me." 

"Alright then let me take you to some place warm, my house is just 5 minutes away, we can walk there and I can explain everything, I promise." He looks serious but in a soft way. I just nod and walk with him to his house. What was I meant to do anyway? I knew he wasn't going to take no for an answer. And i just didn't really want to go back home. The walk was short when we got to his home and nobody was at his home as his family were out for the week. His house was warm and had a very friendly feeling. 

We walk upstairs and he shows me the bathroom, "I know you are not in the best of moods, just relax, here's a towel, just lie in the bath and when your ready I'll be waiting and I will explain." It's funny because he is so friendly and is genuinely nice. He walks away and is back shortly with comfy clothes. And then he walks off. "Wait,Seth, thank you" A smile grows on my face and my eyes squint due to them being extremely sore from crying. 

I peel off my clothes that are glued to my body. I leap into the bath and watch as the water runs. I lie back allowing every part of my body to sink and my thoughts drowning into the water as i close my eyes. 

20 minutes later, after washing my hair and body, I pull the plug and get out of the bath. I quickly grab the towel as the cold air had hit my skin causing me to shiver. I dry my body and put on his clothes. They smelt soo good. I walk out of the bathroom and into Seth's room. I smile faintly and walk towards his bed which he was lying on. We're silent for a minute until he begins speaking. "So, I guess you're wondering why I lied about my name," I nod slightly, he continues, "It's because, I know it gonna sound stupid, but I thought because I wouldn't see you again it  would be a good joke because I don't see a pretty face like yours often. Yh I know it's stupid but like I seriously didn't think it would have ended like this, sorry."

"I understand honestly it was a mistake, you didn't mean any harm and it's not the worse lie I've heard in my life," I say. I felt bad. "You don't need to be sorry, but why did you stop me? You could have let me carry on walking in the rain."

"It's because I know you have been crying, and I couldn't allow you to be alone when you are in a sad state and letting you go without helping and checking if you were alright would be rude of me, so that is why I stopped you," He says while smiling. I reply "Oh thank you, that's really nice of you and you don't see many guys like you were I'm from" I laugh lightly. 

"If you don't mind me asking, but is there a reason you were out late which caused you to cry?" He asks. 

"It's ok, basically my cousin is in a band called the bomb digz his name is Devin, in which every year its a tradition to throw a party which is based on tbd and it only happens once a year. And i can't go because i don't have a dress and the funny thing is I'm the one who created the tradition in the first place. I know sound pathetic that I'm crying over it" I answer. 

"I know this is a little bit funny but I'm actually best mates with daniel Veda, the one from the band, big lips, little shrimp. You heard of him and I'm actually going to be at that party."

"Oml im dead " I regain my normal states after a min of hysterically laughing and carry on with my sentence "That's actually crazy uno we met at the mall and already i find out that you have a lot of things in common with me."

"I no right. But staying back on the subject, this may sound rude but i think there is more to the story than you just not finding the dress" It was as if he could read my mind because there was more but i just hadn't admitted it to anyone. 

"How did you know? because there is. Its like. Tomorrow means so much more than just a party, its like i haven't seen tbd family in ages and it's as if i need to prove that I'm not a bitch for leaving Kevin, as i had reasons and I fear that they will reject me because it looked like i rejected them for sooo many years. And realistically i was the reason why Kevin was depressed for such a long time and although he forgives me. I don't forgive myself at all. 100% It kills me every single  day and for me to all of a sudden to be like "Hey guys I'm back" it's not gonna look great is it. And what if mine and their personalities have completely changed, i just wouldn't no wat to do" I begin sobbing and he pulls me close to his chest. 

"Aliyah, don't be like that, its okay to feel like this as your only human. Trust me if they no you well they'd no that you didn't mean harm to anyone. And you don't have to prove yourself to anyone but you. Sometimes you have to face your demons to get to heaven." He was right but it just made me sob harder. Why am i being so emotional?

I begin calming myself down, and Seth says "Hey let's watch a film, get your mind of this" I nodd. He plays twilight and we watch all the films. My eyelids start feeling heavy and I'm emotionally, mentally and physically tired and i fall into asleep, laying in his arms.
