The Recovery

The Note

Maya lay on the cold, marble floor of her room . She stared and contemplated on the blood and the note and above all ; Sam . She missed him. She began to feel drops of tears rolling down her red face. He had vanished from her life and the lives of his family and other friends , like a genie from a lamp after granting you , your three wishes , like the sun that disappears after it sets, like season after season , year after year, month after month and day after day .

She simply couldn't accept the fact that he had simply disappeared from her life . It was decided, she reached for the note and started to read.

Dear Maya ,

I am awfully sorry for having done this , but it seemed as though it was only thing left to do . To be honest I have a lot of things to set straight . And I have a lot of explaining to do so I decided to write this . So let me explain how everything feel into place . You remember the time I was dating Megan and we broke up a few months later . That was because .... well , I never told her either but the more I spent time at her house the more I realized that I was attracted to her brother than I was attracted to her . If you are still wondering by now ? Yes, I am gay . But then again why let go of life ? This is why . Before I decided to come out to you , I wanted to come out to Megan's brother ( Spike ) . For me Spike was just like how you think of Ethan or  Koby ? I am still not sure who you are entirely attracted to. Despite that I genuinely think that you will look exceptionally cute with Ethan . Since Koby is dating Zoe anyways  . Anyway moving on to real reasons .... sorry for constantly losing track , you know how I get distracted very often .....

Maya had a slight smile on her face as she continued to read the letter . Despite the fact that myriad thoughts flew past her head she remained calm . She went back to reading :

So like I said , I decided to tell Spike that I had feelings for him . So that Friday I walked to Megan's house and I finally gained all my courage and I rang the door bell . And just my luck Megan opened the door and she look at me with utter disgust. She then asked me why I was at her house , I then told her everything. She hugged me then and  told me that her brother wasn't to come home for a while . He went to a different school . And I was way to desperate for words I walked all the way to his school . As soon as he saw me , he came up to me and spoke and me , and that's when I did it , I told him I was gay and through time I had developed feelings for him . You won't believe it but they were mutual , and I went home that day unbelievably happy of myself and I decided that it was time to tell my parents as well . That when everything went downhill . I genuinely wish I could take back everything that happened that day after , what had happened . As I told my parents , their exact words were " Sam , you have got to be joking, what sort of mental state is this . You need severe help , you need therapy  , how can we have a son whose gay." And this went on to a point that it drove me mad , because they  wouldn't talk to me or let me leave the house for that matter assuming I would go to some sort of 'gay' bar . That weekend was by far the worst one ever . And to honest that wasn't the worst part , I was honestly able to live with my parents but when , Spike called me on Saturday and told me that Megan had abused him for stealing her boyfriend. He came to house later that night , he came to house covered in bruises, and told me that his sister outed him to his parents and gave him a beating of a lifetime . I left the house that day , only to find myself crying near the bridge beside school , it was then that I saw a man approached me and started to talk to me , it was only then that I realized that I felt pain and that when everything I had lived up came crumbling down . And if you are still lost , I was raped . After that I silently walked home and I realized that I had no point left to live and I made up mind .
Maya promise me that you will never forget me and tell Spike that I genuinely liked him and hoped for a decent future with him . And I genuinely wish you an amazing life ahead of you and I love you Maya , you helped me see the brighter side of things , I am truly sorry if I hurt you in any possible way , I will miss you dearly .
Au Revoir !!!
Love ,
Sam .

Maya immediately dropped the note and started to cry , she couldn't believe what had happened to him and she was filled with eternal regret because in the end she wasn't there for him during his time of need . She felt that she was the worst human being on the planet . She continued to cry until her eyes grew red with utter sadness , shock and misery .
