Beautiful

Chapter 9:Tape 5

"And you were finally free and fine"Said dad and stopped recording.

"I was free but not that fine"I said and he just looked thinking of something to say.

"Actually,The reason I came here wasn't what happened to me at this period but,what happened afterwards"I cleared that up and I felt like his mind stopped working.

"You mean you were thinking of it all the time and having lots of nightmares.That's stress.You need to meditate and calm down and forge-"I interrupted him by raising my index finger.

"I did all that but,that was not my problem"I said and he rested his back on the chair.

"You mean there are more tapes?"He asked and I nodded so he let out a breath.

"Okay,I'm your father now not a doctor"He said and completed,"Don't you think you're old enough and strong to get over him?"

"Look,I can get over what happened but,I don't want to.If I'll be blue and sad for the rest of my life then it's great to be sad,You don't know the rest of the story,you don't know what happened to him"I said and he put on a new tape.

Tape 5

"
"I ran and reached the road,kept walking til night and after screaming and shouting alone,a car stopped.
They took me back to the nearest hotel,the one I was about to go in before Ezra hit me on my head.

I didn't have a phone nor money so I spend three hours trying to convince the man to let me stay and my friends will come and pay him his money tomorrow.

Did I sleep?Yes,I did.
Was it comfortable?No and never.I had one of the most awful nightmares in my life.

My body was opened and my flesh was out of my body after seconds I realized that someone was pulling my flesh and it was Ezra.

I woke up screaming,it felt real.I was petrified.

The man that was in the hotel came to my room when he heard me screaming.
He made me a cup of green tea and we talked til the morning come,I called my friends and slept and then they came at noon and took me back."

"What did you say to the old man?"Dad asked.

"Nothing important but he was so kind to me"
I remembered what he told me,"Darling,any dream that lasts too long becomes a nightmare"

He didn't even know what I dreamed about!

"I didn't make that up,my grandchild once read it and wanted me to explain it"He laughed and I laughed too.

"He was so kind"I smiled saying to dad and he nodded.

"Any way,I just returned back with my friends after they paid,and I slept for nearly a week without turning off the light"

"You were scared of darkness"Dad said and I nodded.

"And whenever I turn off the light I suffocate,I feel like the ceiling is above my chest"I said and I could feel my face turning red.

I didn't actually believe that I'm living different days,like nothing happened.
I wanted to search for Ezra.Where is he?
I know I must be waiting for him,but I wanted to speed it up.
I didn't tell the police nor any of my friends.

I used my talent.

"You drew him?"Asked Dad.

"Well,I did when I was thinking about him but,not for searching for him.I did a thing that girls have in common and they are perfect at doing it!"I said giving hints but he had no clue.

"I stalked him on social media"I said and he nodded.

"Ookay"He said.

I searched for his name on Facebook,Instagram.Just all social media.Found nothing.

I found him on tumblr first.I freaked out.
It was the happiest moment for me after what happened.

I got to know him better.
Ezra was eighteen when he had this account.
He wasn't active at all but,his friends were.
I wrote one of his friends name on Facebook and found him and from this guy whose name is Noah Taylor I reached Ezra.
He was the wire.

I found Ezra in Noah's friends list with the name Ezra's acc.I guess he hated his father from a young age that he didn't write his full name.

And Facebook was like,"SURPRISE!"
I was shocked.
Ezra is so successful.
He had got a high degree in his university,he study engineering of course.
I saw a video of him giving a lecture.
I didn't recognize his face.

First,he was clean.There was no dirt on his face and his clothes were nice that I could smell the powder he used for cleaning them from my phone.

Second,His hair.It was brushed like he was a Disney prince and it was short.
When I saw him, his hair was long and messy and better I guess.

Third,It was great seeing his features again so I couldn't forget how he looked.

I saw the lecture for about 15 times,I understood nothing but,I learnt it by heart that I could imitate his moves.
When does he touch his hair,smile,say a joke,get nervous and widen his tie and fix his glasses.
I never saw a beautiful nerd and here he was.

God bless him.
