Things Not Seen

Chapter 6

The following morning I called Holly to apologize. She informed me that everything was normal and I had to arrive to my duty. I was glad because I didn't want to lose my job.

Oh heavenly Lord! Do not make me unworthy...

Holly held my hand and we drank coffee together. We worked and she assisted me throughout the day. At lunch time when I was alone sitting at my table, Luke came up to me, "I told you to stay away from Holly...".

"Why are you interfering in my life, I know what is right and what is wrong" I whispered into his ears....

....Just stay away, let me be on my own.
(Never said, just thought every time)

I was enjoying Holly's company. She needed me to join her for a party at eight. I couldn't refuse her, so I promised to attend.

I led to the party at nine. Holly came and took my hand. She introduced me to some of her friends.

"Just stick around here, I'll be back soon" Holly said as she poured wine into my glass...

I rewarded myself with a glass of wine. I was just relishing the music. It was quite pleasant. The place smelled like fresh flowers... the puff of air touched me and it felt like paradise....

"Hey, you are alone here..." Luke asked.

"No, I'm with Holly..." I responded as I looked around to figure out where he was standing.

Luke and Beth pulled chairs and sat with me. I was not interested in talking to them, but leaving at once could create a chaos.

"She is playing mind games with you, she is dominating you" Beth explained.

I had no idea why were they always talking shit about Holly. Why was Luke trying to make me cognizant of something. I told them that I didn't get any negative vibes from Holly.

"She is playing smart. By the way where is she? Do you hold any idea?" Beth asked harshly.

"She is busy having fun with her friends, she will not come to get you" Beth continued.

After hearing so much I asked them to leave. They exited and I sat till eleven. I could feel the place getting peaceful. People were leaving, even the music ceased, but Holly didn't return.

I decided to walk back home. As I stood up my phone fell in the pool...
     Ugh... that was the worst that could have happened... I took my purse and started walking.

I heard someone was following me, I kept on walking. Then after a mile I stopped to feel the existence of a person. The footsteps were approaching..... I could hear it louder than earlier. The person passed by me, I inhaled and exhaled a couple of times. Then again started walking, suddenly I realized someone was walking beside me. I froze and the person also stopped. I was terrified.

"Luke is that you...just answer me," I cried with terror.

He didn't reply and neither did he move from that spot....

I hastened as fast as I could. I slammed my head on something and collapsed.
