To Zee's Help

Jack Nicholson...

"Be ready to experience the roller coaster ride of your life dear."

I was driving back to home and Granny's words kept running in my head? What did they meant by this?

I reached home, unlocked the garage and entered home. Ethan wasn't home... Nothing new.

I went to my room and take a hot shower and sat on couch in my balcony with my laptop.

.

.

.

This is getting to me nerves.

Why can't I able to concentrate?

I set my legs on coffee table and the thoughts came to me like never ending turmoil.

If it wasn't for that shit trip, I would have been the boy I used to be. This silence wouldn't have been this disturbing. This big ass house would be the actual HOME.

The door bell rang and I couldn't be more thankful for it.

I opened the door and welcomed my tired and thankfully not totally drunk friend – Ethan.

"I love you, you know that?" He let out his arms around my shoulder and started his never ending rambling.

"It's late night Ethan. Go to your room and sleep." I untangled his hands off me.

"Then pay to driver my friend. And keep the change. Have a very good morning in few hours." With that he retired to his room. I asked driver to wait. I fetched my wallet from room and paid him.

Keep the change?

That wasn't related to the situation even a bit.

I looked at the clock in living room, Ethan was indeed right. I went to bed to get my few hours sleep.

.

.

.

My alarm went off and I wasn't the person to snooze it for another 15 or 30 minutes.

I climbed off the bed and took shower. I wore my track pants, jacket and baseball cap. I went downstairs and drank my black coffee.

At exact 4 in the morning I was on my regular path, dim street lights and cool air of dawn welcomed my silent presence. I kept running, knowing every turn of the paths that was printed like map in my mind until next alarm went off.

I passed by Zee's home and lights were off except only of the room.

I took bath and went downstairs to have moment of peace before my dear friend wakes up. I was reading business magazine in backyard when Ethan came with his cup of coffee.

"What a shiny Sunday Morning!" That means 'Sorry for yesterday's behavior if he had behaved or done something stupid.

"Morning." I replied not diverting my attention to him.

"Had great diner with Grans last night, right?" – If there are people I can't lie than they are my Grandparents, Ethan and Zee.

"Yes. Just that their secretive signs as if they know what is happening in my life more than me." I said.

"Exactly what-" Before Ethan could complete his sentence my phone started ringing. Zee was calling. I pick up the call.

"Hey Zee, Good-" before I could wish her good morning she started whispering something as if we were talking side by side.

"Zee can you please talk little audible?" I interrupted her rambling.

"Listen Zacky, there is this girl in house, actually in my room. She just magically came out of my washroom. Though she looks genuine but we can't take risk. Serial killers or assassination people look cute when they want to be. Now the point is urghh wait-"

I asked he what is wrong but she didn't answer.

"Okay the point is she offered to make coffee for me for my headache! How sweet gesture it is! Wait this is not good! I don't know her stupid. So you both better be here in 15 minutes before I got killed or kidnapped! Oh my god! How thrilling that would be! Okay bye I have to go! Please come fast." – With that Zee just disconnected the call.

She would probably the only girl feeling excited thinking about her kidnap or murder.

"Let's go. I think Zee is in problem." Ethan stood up immediately.

"What happened to her? Where is she? What happened?" So many questions for friend!

"She is having guest at her house she doesn't know. We better go." I put the magazine back into the shelves and getting keys of my car we headed to Zee's house.

"What would be the new problem this time?" Ethan asked more to himself.

"Whatever it is, I hope it is not as extreme as last time." We can only hope when things are related to Zee.

"Don't remind me please." I looked at him and couldn't help but smiled remembering the last incidence.

"You looked cute with eggs and apple pie on your face though. It was the best and only food fight I witnessed. You took all attacks to protect Zee, How very friend love of you!"

"I had to face the wrath of Charlotte just for the creme that stick to one corner of her dress though. That attempt resulted futile."

We reached to Zee's home and we immediately climbed out of the car. I press the door bell but Ethan was agitated and kept ringing it continuously.

But I was surprised when Ethan back off and I stood before door to open it through spare keys I had with me. I opened the door and before I could understand what was happening Ethan's voice came behind me yelling "No...." with full force and on next second we were on ground.

And beneath me was the same face who had captivated my mind!
