When Two Souls Meet

Best Friends for Life...

All five of them were sitting at the playground lazing in the sun.

Reshma suddenly said," ugh, I feel like a roasted duck".

" You are a duck face, Whaddaya expect?". asked Sarah

" Oof Andrea Denver has posted a new pic!!". said Della scrolling through her feed.

"BITCH WHAT!!". Reshma snatched the phone from Dellas hand.

" Why is he so handsome?" asked Reshma dreamily.

" I don't know, but I feel my brother is being cheated by his girlfriend". said Tracy.

"H-he has a girlfriend?" asked Sarah suddenly moody.

" BITCH! DONT TELL ME YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON THAT UGLY ASSHIT". snorted Reshma.

" No!!! You think I'm crazy?? ". asked Sarah

" I need help with Maths homework!". Said Tracy exhaustedly

" Can you come over at my place today?" asked Tracy

Soon they all agreed to meet at Tracy's house.

A few hours later.

As they went to Tracy's house, Sarah eagerly looked for her brother, ut was not to be seen.

After a few hours of study, Sarah felt thirsty and Tracy accompanied Sarah to the kitchen for a drink of water.

There she saw him, cooking. Was she shocked?? HELL YES! Most guys his age did not even know to light the stove.

"What are you making?". asked Sarah nosily to Ethan.

"Something special ", he replied.

Sarah took one good look at what he was doing and was impressed, but she said, "That's gonna flop for sure".

Ethan looked at her and said, " Wanna bet?".

"Sure". she replied.

Soon the pie was ready. And Ethan stuffed a mouthful into Sarah's face.

Sarah realized that she had not eaten that tasty food in AGES. Each bite she took, she counted the calories she ate, Each bite he took he felt guilty for making that pie. Tracy happily had the meat pie and went back to study.

Ethan? he slowly went to his room and had Ipecac syrup. He spent every minute looking at the freckles in the mirror. He adjusted his hair tried hiding freckles and looked at himself for a long time

Ethan's POV

I was born ugly. Sometimes when people say your genes fucked you up? That is exactly what is wrong with me. I don't know why people call me a Ken doll, I don't even see the reason why. They are all liers. Only my mother says the truth. I know she has been busy, but everything she says becomes right. She has seen more people and had more experience in life. I know her pretty well too. I just believe in her words. I'm not good looking, and I expect that. This is probably why Juliecis avoiding me these days. I don't want a good face, I just want to maintain my weight.

Sarah finished her studies with Tracy and went to Ethan's room to thank him for the delicious food. The sight which Sarah saw put her in a deep shock. There was blood all on the floor and Ethan stood there without moving. His hands were bleeding and Sarah saw that the mirror was broken.

"ETHAN!! WHAT THE HELL" she yelled and ran to him.
One look at his face made her realize the pain he hid inside him.

A few minutes later...

As she wrapped his knuckles she asked... "Why?".

He just replied, " I needed to feel pain".

Tracy came in and asked " What's going on ?" anxiously

Before Sarah could say anything Ethan suddenly said " training again".

Tracy came and said " Why do you always hurt our hands with boxing?
And how come this mirror is always broken?" asked Tracy suspiciously.

Ethan said," of the boxing, bag hit the mirror causing it to break".

"Oh okay," said Tracy
She realized what had happened on seeing the look of horror in Sarah's eyes.

Ongoing home, Sarah kept thinking about just one thing and that was
WHY Ethan would do this? She wanted to get closer to him, numb his pain

" Wait, why am I thinking this? I hardly know this guy". She thought

" RESHMA IN THE HOUUUSE!" yelled Reshma.

" FUCK U RESH!!"YOU KILLED ME!!

"What u dreaming sleeping beauty?? Asked Reshma.

"Nothing", replied Sarah

"Are you in love ??" asked Reshma.

" NO" replied Sarah angrily

" YES!, EWWWW " Reshma.

"Is my baby in love??" asked Della

"Quit teasing you both!!" yelled Sarah and walked off.

As soon as Sarah got into her home she saw father lurking around.

" Where were u? He asked".

" Special class, she replied".

" NOW YOU START LYING TO ME!" He roared again

" you are drunk aren't you?" asked Sarah empathetically.

" SHUT UP YOU SLUT", he hollered and pushed her back.

" D O. N T. T. O. U. C. H. M. E," said Sarah, her eyes gleaming

" you lost that right month back, father. " She replied with fury.

He left the room in fury.

She tried to cry, no tears came out, tried to smile face never lit up. Eventually, she did what she loved doing at times like these

Moments later she could feel her eyes dazing away. Her eyes blurred
for a second and all went black.
