The Fun In Being Bad

Chapter 17: Do I care? No.

It was a sudden realisation with no prior warnings or any notifications. The moment I realised I loved you, I swear my world stopped for some seconds.

-

This world sometimes seems like a cage. A cage from where you cant escape from.

You can probably tell by now that I am not at all an optimistic person. But I am not a negative person either, I just like to term myself as a realistic.

I have had life pick me up and throw me down crashing hard into reality. But now I have built myself a parachute. But sometimes tragedies occur and we are thrown out of our seat clinging onto the last hope, screaming someone for help. But I cant scream now, I am afraid I may fall apart.

Nor could I help myself up for my right arm is twisted in an unnatural angle forbidding me to move any inch. I am still not sure about my legs, with my right leg twisted backwards and my left leg under the wheel. I cannot feel anything right now, just the dread dripping off my body.

I desperately look around to find any source of human, but find no one in sight in this dense forest. Then again no one would be stupid enough to wander into the forest late at night. Thats just me.

My parents would already be back to London by now. They were just leaving when I rushed out of my house.

My loving and caring parents came rushing to me when they heard that I adopted a kid. And the aftermath which followed was very interesting. A few glasses broken, some high pitched voices and a spoonful of colourful words. It all adds up my evening.

I wonder if there will be any police patrols at night. Do they come deep into this forest?

I finally take in a long breath and let it out slowly. Even the slightest movement hurts, placing my left hand on the dashboard I try to push myself up on the drivers seat, it immediately sends a shock of pain in my left side of a body. My breath becomes rapid and I feel lightheaded, I can pass out anytime now.

The phone on my backseat keeps ringing but I just sit still, this time I didn't purposefully ignore the caller.

It looks like a sick punishment to me, I have always wished to be alone but now that I am finally alone I I wish to be found by someone.

Time seems to pass by slowly, even the caller has stopped calling my phone which I have angrily thrown into my backseat before dashing out of my house. This reminds me if Chrissy is alright. She would be alone in home right now, Mrs Jane is already done for today and she won't be back till next morning. I wonder if she will be alright staying alone tonight.

Soft cold air rushes through the broken window in my left. The night seems to be getting colder and colder, if it were winter I would have frozen to death by now. Every minute passing I could feel the numbness taking over my body.

Drowsiness takes over my body, I dont want to fight anymore. What's the use of fighting anymore? Maybe I should sleep...

-

White and red light floods through my vision.

Its difficult to open my eyes, the scenery is fussy and unfocused.

I can sense the various voices around me but can't really recognise them. My body still feels numb, maybe because of the cold...

-

Pain shoots up my right leg, from my ankles to the tips of my right hand. My head throbs painfully shooting lasers into my body. I am afraid to even breath. I lay still for many hours contemplating my surroundings.

The constant beeping from an unknown source is driving me crazy and the irresistible pain in my body doesn't help.

I try opening my eyes. Little by little I use the remaining force in my body to lift my eyelids open. That too betrays me by giving an unfocused view of my surroundings.
