The suffocation in that god forsaken hall was more than I can bear. Almost running like a prisoner out of jail; I immediately crossed the path desperately running towards where my car was parked. Upon seeing my vehicle; I almost cried tears of joy. As soon as the engine roar to life; I reversed my car with full speed and made a dash towards the main gates. Seeing a vehicle coming towards the main gate at an abnormal speed; all the guards took a fighting stance; almost like they are ready to blow the car apart.
Hell. They can with all those bulky, brutal guns.
I stopped just in-case they decides to rain down bullets on me. I can't afford to die at this moment. No. I've someone dear to protect.
"Quite in a hurry, Mir." Said Jade, one of Mary's best guards.
"Yes." I simply replied and gripped the steering wheel with all my might.
Tilting his head at one side, clever enough to not question me yet didn't let the anti-social behavior got unnoticed by him. He raised his hand and the gate opened in front of me. I put the car in 1st gear and was about to get out when Jade said something which turned my blood; if possible even more cold.
"Mary cannot hide from them. Surely she can run, but hiding is out of question, now. Do not make any stupid mistake, Mir."
I just looked at him and saw his a face I don't recognize anymore. He was not the same old, smiling, cracking joke Jade. No. He was someone totally different, Now. Someone serious and . . possibly dangerous. Never in this life would I have thought Jade of all people would say this. Then something clicked in my head which turn me into a fucking vampire.
Jade is their man.
He seems to notice that I had joined the dots because all he did was nod his head and moved away. Without wasting another second of my precious life; I dashed towards the main road and out of that place.
**********
I was woken by the constant shrill of my irritating cell phone.
Why is it ringing this much from yesterday?
Sighing and glaring at the phone, hoping the caller and the device may somehow get burned which of course wouldn't happen; I get up from the bed and picked up the cell.
Hmm. 56 missed calls.
The current call is of Miranda. I picked it up;
"Where the fuck were you, Mary?" She yelled in the phone and I'm sure her voice has crossed half of Thailand.
"Sleeping, Rin." I said and yawed in the phone. Damn. Why is she being such a psycho?
"I want you to get your ass to the airport, right now! The jet is ready to take us back to NYC. I'm waiting for you. Whatever you do Mary, Do Not Answer Dave's call. Getting me? Just don't answer it, Mary. Please. Jus-just get here as fast as you can. Do not ask any questions. Just trust me please." Her voice was so desperate at the end of her talk.
I was dumbfounded. She has never behaved like this. Something is not right and she is freaked out abso-fucking-lutely. All I did was just say few words to her.
"Okay. Will be there in 10."
"Switch off your cell phone and took the battery out. Leave it behind. The battery." With this being said, she cut the call, leaving me as confused as a cat out of well.
I just took a deep breath and walked towards the chair where my clothes were hanging. I don't know what is happening. What is Rin doing here? Why had she said not to pick Dave's call? Had Dave done something which I don't know and which He is not suppose to do? Had he betrayed me somehow? No. That can't be. He is my friend. He helped me when I couldn't help myself. No. I must not think like this.
But why? Why am I feeling so different towards him right now? Like He has broken my trust. Like He had done something He promised, He wouldn't do. Why is it feeling so strange? Why is that I'm feeling almost hurt and betrayed?
I sighed and massaged the newly forming headache.
I must keep calm. Listen to what Rin has to say. I just need to know everything before I do something or make any decision. Gut feeling could be wrong sometime, you know. I tried to find a recon of this strange feeling in my chest.
The feelings we share with you're never wrong. You will see.
I checked out myself, dropped the battery in the bin on my way out of the hotel and hailed the cab. Giving driver the directions towards the private runway; I sighed and closed my eyes.
Everything is messing up again in my life. Like it was before, almost 5 years ago. I had struggled so much to bounce back. Though; nothing is forgotten, everything is buried in the pit of my heart, in the darkest corners of my brain. I do not want to have any visitors from these areas. Never. I'll lose everything if this ever happened.
Damn you, Rin.
I reached the runway in almost 15 minutes and the sight in front of me was both. Comical and disturbing.
Rin was almost in hysterics, racking her hairs and looks like she was mere seconds away from pulling them out and Adam was looking at his watch after every 5 seconds. As soon as she saw me walking towards the jet, Adam jumped and get in the jet, possibly getting it ready whereas Rin ran towards and stood at an arm's length.
When I was almost near her, I stopped and really looked at her.
I've to admit one thing; I had never seen Rin this . . this disheveled. Hairs are sticking out from all directions, nails chewed till the flesh, mascara running down the length of her cheek and tears, eyes bloodshot with dark circles decorating them from every corner, clothes wrinkled and mismatched like she had thrown whatever she got her hands on, chapped lips and. . bare foot.
Okay. Something is fucking wrong.
Before I could come back to the real world after taking in her appearance; the mane of bushy blond hair obscure my vision and almost knocked me down on my ass in this runway. I balanced myself and hugged Rin back whilst she cried.
What is happening?
"Rin?" I said, hugging her and trying to soothing her.
"Rin, what's wrong?" I asked again.
This time she looked at me, tears brimming her eyes and flowing nonstop.
"I-I'll te-tell you ev-evryth-everything once we ge-get airborne. Come on." she took hold of my hand and started walking towards the jet, towing me all bewildered.
As soon as we took off and Rin told me things my brain refused to accept. Hell my brain as well as my foundations were in shambles by the end of her talk. I was a mess. I was again 5 years back. I'm again standing where I started from. Again in darkness.
Why it does always happens with me? Why Am I always the victim of this cruelty? What had I done wrong?
Life is a cruel. I had known this when I was a little girl. All those shitty Disney movies are nothing except lie. But, these friends are all we have against life and sometimes; we're in such bad luck that those we really trusted, turned against us, sell us and most of all, kills us.
Amidst of all this chaos; my gut snickered at me.
I told you so.
And this time, I accepted my defeat. I accepted what I never wanted to accept.
The Heart always took longer time to believe what Brain already knows.
