Life of an Indian failure{completed}

Reason 4(contd)

Maximum votes were for 'Arnav', so that's what I'm going for^.^.. Hope you enjoy<3..

Life had lost all meaning, there was no more fun. My mum had completely stopped talking to us, and my dad was busy with his marriage arrangements, my life had become completely grey and the only 2 things that added a little colour were my brother and Arnav..

Sid had become my whole world, he was the reason I prevented myself from doing things. And I was his world, we came home only for each other, I understood his pain, and he understood mine.

"Come on, I'll drop you",

"No didi, I'm walking with some friends today",

I smiled and waved goodbye, as I waited out Nisha's building. I watched Sid vanish from site, and Nisha came down running.

"Sorry, I was talking to Arnav",

She said, looking to the floor with guilt, I smiled and pushed her playfully,

"That's alright",

I said and we continued to walk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, the 1st law of motion is also called - Law of Inertia",

I wasn't paying any attention, it was no more new, I kept thinking either about my family, or about Arnav, this time.. It was Arnav..

I was thinking about how I was supposed to tell him, that I could no more tolerate betraying Nisha, I knew he wouldn't take it well, but I had made up my mind, there was no way in hell that I would choose a boy over Nisha or Roshni.

The bell rang and we went out for the break, we four met up again, and they talked about various things, while I stood there, lifelessly, just trying not to think about anything.

"I lost my water bottle yesterday! If I don't find it today my mom will legit abandon me!", Nisha exclaimed making everyone laugh, everyone except me.

I just smiled weakly, because there was no happiness or laughter left in me.. Nisha put her arm over my shoulder, and a tear escaped my eye, she pulled me in for a hug which I gladly accepted.. Thoughts of my mom and dad kept flashing in my brain..

Break was over, we went back to our classes.. And the day passed by, as usual..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Haha, I'm always late aren't I?",

I smiled weakly, as I saw Arnav enter the lost property room, closing the door behind him, we met up everyday now. The same place, the same time, everyday.

"Hey",

I said, as he came closer to me, I motioned him to sit on a kind of platform, and I followed.

He looked at me questioningly, as I took a deep breath,

"Lia? You okay?",

I nodded, "I need to talk to you",

"Hmm, sure",

I looked at my watch, and rubbed it out of nervousness, i looked up at him, and saw him staring at me intently, I couldn't hold my gaze at him, so I continued looking down.

"We can't do this anymore", I muttered indistinctly,

"Huh?",

"We can't do this anymore", I said, still looking down,

"Do what?",

"Be like this.. Togehter! Or whatever you call this!", I said, tired

"Why?",
