The Trip Of We ( PAUSED)

Chapter Eight: Why we are here

Chapter Eight: Why we are here

Vote please

I woke up with this feeling that I needed to be free.

I had lived with the haunting past for four years.
I wasn't ready to let anyone bring back old memories.

I willed myself to neglect the headache and wore my church gown.

Today was the last day of me seeing them.
I decided that I couldn't let myself enjoy their company.

I have to avoid them for the rest of the day.

As I walked into the church,I remembered how they really made me feel whole.

I remembered how I could smile around them without being scared of the tears that could spill anytime.

I remembered the secured me that was with them when we went out.
I stopped looking out for bullies and sought refuge in them.

I remembered how they made me feel whole.

They made me feel whole. The word rang in my head.

I was determined not make anyone penetrate my carefully built walls.
And they were effortlessly destroying my army.

I have to avoid them till the day ends.
Then I'll know that they were just a chapter that was never meant to last in my life.

A chapter that was inferior in my life.
That was what I did till we got home.
I completely erased them from my mind.
I also erased yesterday's memory.

My parents didn't ask me about the incident.
They had witnessed many to understand.

After a quiet dinner, my mom cleared her throat.

"Eva? How are you feeling" She asked, scared that she would hit the wrong nerve.

"I'm fine" I replied not looking up.

"You know, we kinda have an idea of what happened yesterday. Would you like to talk about it?" Dad suggested.

"No"I snapped still not looking up.

"Would you like to see Doctor Melvin's? He was your therap-" He was interrupted by me.

"No! I do not want to go back to the hospital. I'm perfectly fine. I'm alright. Nothing happened to me yesterday." I shouted looking up finally.

Awkward silence filled the space between us.

Suddenly the bell rang.

"I'll get it" I muttered and walked towards the door.

They were standing in front of me.
Dylan twirling a flower and whistling.

Liam with his head tilted to the right, his eyes boring into mine.
Adam with his hands in his pocket wearing a huge grin.

"Hey" Adam greeted cheerily.

"Hey"I replied with a dull voice.

"So we've been trying to talk to you for the whole day but your phone was switched off? "Dylan asked.

"Dead battery"

"I see. Are you angry with us?" Liam asked.

"No"

"Oh. You aren't looking at us in the eye" Dylan chirped.

"Says who?" I proved them wrong by looking at them.

"I was told that if you look into a person's eyes, you can see what they think about" Liam said, leaning against the wall.

Uncomfortable, I moved back and shifted my gaze to the floor.

"Yhup. Something is officially wrong" Dylan announced in a comic voice.

"No. Nothing's wrong. You guys do realise that today is the last day of me spending time with you" I reminded.

"Yes we do know." Dylan said.

"In fact, that's why we are here" Adam said.

"I understand. It was nice meeting you but we have to move on. It was a fun weekend. Thanks" I  said.

"But-" Liam was interrupted by the slam of the door in his face.

"Mmfn. She dumped us" Dylan whined.

"Shut-up" Liam and Adam said.

Hurriedly I sank in my bed, ignoring the stares my parents gave me.

I made it through the weekend.

I was never going to see them.

It was all over.

Lol. This isn't the end of TTOW.
Feedbacks appreciated
