A Broken Soul

Chapter 13

Akshay's POV

     Everyone's eyes were on us as we walked towards the doors. I immediately knew what was up. Sameera. That little twat ratted on Akira. I see her leaning against a wall with a few of the snobby jock girls around her. Without thinking it through, I head up to her and grab her shirt collar. "Don't think I don't know what you did today. You really shouldn't have done that! I swear I-" I stop mid sentence because I feel a hand on my shoulder. In my whole rant I didn't realize when Akira had came here. Pure silence had fallen on the campus. Everyone's attention was on us.

Akira's POV

     I pushed Akshay aside. "You foul loathsome evil little cockroach! First you threaten my friends and now this?! Do you have any idea what it feels like to go through all that?! I was in shock for weeks! I wouldn't eat. I wouldn't sleep. I was practically a corpse! And when I finally came to my senses I was so upset that I wanted to end it all. So I started cutting. You have no idea what it feels like to have everyone around you but no one understanding you. That emptiness is excruciating!" I pulled up my right sleeve and showed her my scars. "Have you ever done this to yourself? Huh? Have you? I didn't think so." I yanked my sleeve down again and left. There was pin drop silence. The gang followed me to a secluded corner in the campus. "Akira I had no idea..." Vikram said glumly. "Yeah well guess what. No one did." I retorted. "What do you guys think huh? That you'll just waltz into my life and all my problems will be magically fixed? News flash! It's not happening. This isn't some fairy tale where everything turns out perfect in the end. This is reality. Love and friendship isn't gonna make me forget all my problems or heal all my wounds. No. My problems are all still crystal clear and my wounds are still fresh. This is just who I am and it's time I accept it. I'm not some blissfully perfect girl anymore. I'm damaged. I don't wanna keep all this bottled up in my head anymore. So I suggest that you all stay far away from me. Because this time I'm going dark. And I mean full dark no stars... I smirked evilly and walked away.
