Addicted To You

chapter 13

Jason's POV
Last night I didn't have any sleep. I was too harsh on Sarah. I shouldn't have talked that way. But the way she brought up the incident with Maya, I just couldn't keep my temper. The first thing I would do is to ask for forgiveness. I don't know if she would accept me. I was waiting for her in my classroom. Suddenly my phone rang. It was from the principal Mrs Miles. I received the call," hello, good morning ma'am." She didn't greet me but said in a stern voice,"Mr wills, come to my office now." I sensed something must be wrong. But never did I guess that history was going to repeat itself.
I entered her office. The first thing I saw was Sarah and Asli sitting on a couch. Neither of them looked at me. But I saw Sarah, she looked so week and her eyes puffy and red. Was it for me? I did that to her? Why are they here? What did they say? The old fear and trauma began to settle in me once again. I looked at Mrs Miles. She said," sit down Mr wills."
I sat on the chair opposite her. She began," so Mr wills, I hope you can guess why you are called. Let me be more clear. There are complaints of sexual harassment against you. The victim has required proof. I know everything. So don't try to deny. "
"May I see the proof ma'am?" I asked my voice shaking.
"Here, Mr wills can you recognize this marks? If you don't then a lab test can do everything." Asli said showing me the bite marks I gave Sarah.
"Yes, I did those." I had to confess. I never imagined Sarah can go to this extent. All I said last day was because I loved her and was concerned about her future.
"I am grateful to them that they are not going to the police. They still think about the reputation of our school. And you, never thought about it. I must say you are sacked from the school Mr wills. I will give you the official letter today. Please don't come from tomorrow. I will make sure you don't get another job for 2years. You have to pay for your misdeeds." Mrs Miles said. "And Mr wills don't try to do anything else. This whole conversation is recorded. Do you have anything to say?"
"Ma'am, I didn't harass her in any way. Please believe me. I confess we were in an illegal relationship for a week. It was me who compelled Sarah to be in a relationship with me. I take the entire blame. But please ma'am, I didn't harass her."
"No Mr wills, I can't believe. You go and take your last classes and say goodbye."
"Ma'am we are also leaving now. Sarah is too weak to attend classes today. Thank you." Asli said and went outside. I too went outside. This time Sarah looked at me. I was broken inside. My career ruined, my reputation, my life everything ruined. Why? What wrong did I do? Where will I go? What will I do? All these questions were running in my mind, my tormented soul couldn't find any answers. My watery eyes couldn't see any way out. All I could see was Sarah going away with Asli.
"Sarah wait!" She immediately stopped and turned around.
"Why Sarah? Couldn't you wait for a day? Couldn't you understand all I did was thinking about your future? Couldn't you understand your bright future is everything I care for? Couldn't you understand how much I love you and I will always for you? Why did you do this to me? Can you think I will be a unemployed shit from tomorrow? How will I live? What will I do? Can you tell me? Why did you do it? Didn't you know my past? Then why? Sarah please tell me did I really sexually harass you? Did I?" I couldn't continue anymore. I broke down crying. Sarah was going to say something but Asli stopped her and said," now stop with your emotional drama. She complained because you deserved that." And they were gone. I went back to class. Said goodbye to my students and left.
I came home and checked my savings. I had savings for a month or two. I didn't know what to do. Suddenly I got a call from Alex.
"Hello Jason can you come over to my house. I am booking hotel for our honeymoon. It will be great if you help me choose the room."
"Ok." How could I tell him the girl he was going to marry, the girl he loved has ruined me today, her sister has broken me to the point of no repair. I went to his house and he was so happy. We chose hotel rooms. I left and came back home.
I felt I can't live like this. I don't have any place in this world. Why? What wrong have I done? Why is the almighty so rude to me? No I can't tolerate it anymore. I have decided what to do. I searched my drawer and got a container of sleeping pills which I had bought earlier when I was suffering from insomnia due to excessive stress and the doctor prescribed me it. That time I didn't complete my course. I only took it 5 days. So most of it was left. I took a glass of water and gulped all the pills. Slowly I started feeling sleepy. Somehow I stood up and grabbed a pen and paper and wrote,
"I don't know if anyone really cares to know but still I am writing it to avoid unnecessary trouble. I am a very simple man who didn't do any wrong to anyone. Neither have I ever cheated anyone  nor have I ever hurt anyone intentionally. Then why? Why do I suffer always? I am fed up with my life. Enough is enough now. I can't bear these injustices anymore. I don't deserve this sadness, this punishment, I don't deserve these. So don't think I am committing suicide. No I am not. I am going to God which is not possible in mortal form for me. I am going to ask God for what reason have I  suffered a screwed up childhood and for that matter a fucked up life?
- Jason."
I couldn't continue anymore as my eyelids felt heavy and my vision became blurred. Slowly I dozed off in a deep slumber expecting to achieve peace in my afterlife if it did exist at all.
