I wish I could

Chapter 2

No, I would never do this. I couldn't imagine myself ruining his life. Not after that night at least.

**flashback**

I saw his feet moving towards me, slowly and slowly. Maybe he was enjoying my pain. I tried closing my eyes and forcing my brain to think that it was a nightmare. But it wasn’t. Everything was real. Harsh but real. I could feel his feet padding slowly towards me and I could hear two people laughing loudly which I assumed to be his friends. I could taste my blood in my mouth and I had no strength to fight him. I shut my eyes and again forced my mind to process all this.

No, I could not let this happen to me.

No, I cannot let anyone do this to me.

I have to be strong. I AM strong.

With all the strength which was left, I tried to get up. Stumbling again and again, I could hear the wild laughter of the person whom I was sympathizing with a while ago. 

“What did you say that day in the club? That I can’t even touch you. Right? Well today I’ll show you what I CAN do.” He said with a smirk.

“But I’m really enjoying all of this. You still think you can escape me? Oh Poor baby!” He said watching me struggle. And they all burst into laughter again.

“Well, I have all the time in this world to do what I want to do with you...Oops what I CAN do to you. I'll break you physically first and then I'll provide you the ultimate torture before I send you to where you belong." He paused. "And I promise that you'll suffer more than my sister.”

“And that good-for-nothing boyfriend of yours can also not come here and save you.” One of the other two said.

I wish Steve could come here & save me somehow. I wish...

But there was no time for me thinking the things which were not possible. So I stood up and started walking towards him. I could see the delightfulness on his face.

“So, you’re giving in finally….eh?” and then I did the unimaginable.

I leaned onto him and got him thinking that I was hugging him. He was obviously shocked and taken aback.

But within a few seconds, I was again at a great deal of distance from him with his gun in my hand which I was pointing it to him.

I thought I would scare the shit out of them but I got the total opposite reaction.

They all burst into a fit of laughter.

“You think you can shoot me with that? Do you even know how to handle a revolver?”

And He was right. I didn’t know a thing about guns. I was having one in my hand for the first time in my life. But there was no way I was going to give up on my life so soon.

He got up and started moving towards me.

“Stay away or... I’ll shoot”. I said. I don't know how I managed to speak at that time but I was glad that I did.

“You don’t even know how to hold it in first place and you say that you will shoot me”.

“Yes I’ll shoot you down. Let me go or you will have to pay through your life”.

“Pay through my life?” His raucous laugh pierced through my ears again.

Then I heard some noises at the door and imagining the worst I tightened my grip over the gun.

As the door flung open, I shot him down.

I came back to reality with the taste of salt in mouth, my phone constantly vibrating and my door being knocked heavily. I didn’t realize anything in my surroundings, not even my tears as I was so consumed in my thoughts. I was reluctant to open the door but I knew I had to. Wiping my tears off, I opened it to find Liam in front of me.
