BROKEN

chapter 8

It's been 2 days we left newyork but I still remember its powerful aura and the reason behind its name "big apple."

My mom is working really hard for her case which is due just 10 days from now .

  And I have to leave for law school in 20 days....I am really nervous about it . I mean it's more of my mother's dream than me to see me as a lawyer. .
    
Leslie is also busy in handling her father's business branch in Boston. And I can tell you she is doing well . The way she had recovered from the death incident is unbelievable.  She no more cries or tell me that it's horrible to recover and now she is no more willing to live .

Tom continue to call me and I continue to ignore his calls but once I answered and told him that we will surely make our presence feel .

Its 3 am in the morning and I am just laying on my bed and can't sleep , I am really worried what to wear in todays night party and how to deal with all going between leslie and Tom and me.

  Just then i decided to call leslie and ask her what to wear , I didn't wanted to trouble her but i really was confused.

And she picked up my call on second ring.

"Hi , you still awake" I asked .

  "Ya... am not able to sleep ."she replied .

  "Why  ...what is bothering you now? "I asked her.

  "I am really scared to handle all the decisions I am making for my father's boston branch  right now as he has worked immensely to build such a huge  business and I am way too many inexperienced." She said .

" Okay , I don't know what to say , its very unlikely of you to underestimate yourself  ."I said .

  "Thanks....that helps, okay now tell me why you called." She asked.

"uhm, ok do you remember the house party at Tom's residence i asked .....convinced you to attend ". I said.

"Hay , you didn't comvinced me to come I have to ..its my boyfriend 's par-tay." She grinned.

  "Alright ,but please tell me that you will be there ...right "I asked wondering what she would say .

"Wait one more thing wasn't it months ago ." She squealed.

"Nah and   let's meet tomorrow ." i said in a hurry as I don't exactly remember when he called me .

  "Kk" she said as we disconnected the phone.

Next evening

  "What the hell is all, this "leslie entered my room and asked me observing my whole wardrobe flooded  out in my room.

  "I am not able to decide what to wear....please help me ."I asked .

  "Ahmmm okay  let's see, try this."leslie picked blue denim jeans along with black tie knot shirt and a long blackish coat .

   "Wow....thank you so much." I will be back in a minute ,I told her and rushed into bathroom  praising her fashion sense.

  "Let's go "leslie screamed as soon as I got out .

 
When we reached downstairs, I told my mom that we are leaving and will be back by 11 .

  After 15 minutes we were in this huge house with people playing weird games ,dancing and drinking tequilla.

Tom joined us after few minutes and complimented leslie  ,staring at me .

  "Would you like to join us " girl with green hairs asked us looking at Tom.

  "No we won't "leslie interrupted her blocking her view of Tom.

  "Hey come on , don't be a spoil spot." Tom said as leslie passed him a glare.

  "Ok , we will ."I shouted from behind avoiding further fights.

  It was sought of a  high school friends reunion and everybody was holding a glass in their hand and many were sitting in couples ,cuddling with one another and enjoying each others  company while.on the other hand i was terrified thinking if what might happen tonight.

I really envy them all.

  "Ok so we will spin  the bottle and the one towards whom bottle points would be asked a question and if you are not able to,you will have a shot." martinee , the girl from our high school, a complete bitch , explained it , and it didn't matter to her that anyone understood it   as she fell on her boyfriend, cuddling.

 Julie turned the bottle and it unfortunately stopped on me and Tom.

"Are you hiding a secret from your bestfriend ?" Tom smirked at me asking the question.

  "No" I spitted out in nervousness .
"Come on dont lie eva, answer honestly." He again said .

 "She never hides anything from me  .....and Tom so you dare not  tease my bestfriend ." Leslie spoke to my rescue.

"You never know " Tom said and leslie laughed and ignored him . And julie rotated the bottle again.

We played that game for like an hour and I was super drunk till the time it ended.

I was dancing with Alan,   he was the most popular guy in our high school and I always liked him and was   happy to get a chance to dance with him . When suddenly someone called him from behind .

"Hye Alan,  I love you. " a really attractive girl spoke from behind and I was upset when Alan replied her and kissed her back .

  From there way of greeting each other ...I kind of got a feeling that she is his girlfriend   and decided to  leave them alone .

I was standing with les when I got a message on my phone:

"Meet me upstairs, darling . I will be waiting for you . And be prepared to face the consequences if you ignore me."

  -tom.

   I got really scared and took a decision to head upstairs as I was really drunk(really....... and it was my first time , so controlling myself was just impossible.) And I didn't even wanted to hurt leslie by letting her face the truth of her so called  lovestory.

  I went upstairs and started banging the first door I saw , when suddenly a couple came out and  started pushing me in , when Tom rescued me and snatched me to his room .

   I don't know  if it was in heat of the moment or what but Tom leaned to kiss me in and I kissed him back(believe me ....superr drunk). It was a very good kiss as it was  my first one and also as he was a really good kisser, but the point Leslie's thought entered my mind ,I pulled  myself back and ran ,pushing Tom onto the floor .

 When I reached downstairs I was sobbing , my heart was filled with the tears of guilt.

I traced leslie all over the place but she was not there , I called her like thousands of time , but no response.

   So I took an uber and headed home, deciding to talk to leslie tomorrow.
