Little Things But , Real

Chapter:9

I felt very bad because my very best friend Jermey was upset with me....

God this seemed the worst ever, I remember the last time we fought was in grade 8.
We had a fight because I had a crush at that time and the best part was that he also liked me.
It turned out that we went to this birthday party where he confessed that he liked me and eventually I said yes.
It was fine for a few days but then Jermey complained that I was being away from...I didn't spend much time with him...he said that I was ignoring him.
But it was not true or maybe it was... I really don't know, due to this he stopped talk to me.

Here Mason started thinking that I was cheating on him with Jermey.
Things got so complicated that finally me and Mason decided to break up.

Everything was back to normal...now me and Jermey were back to best friends forever.
The tears of my break up lasted not so longer, maybe a few days.

After all this me and Jermey never fought again maybe because after Mason I never dated anyone and after all that time I found Christan.
Though me and Christan do not date each other yet but he is my second guy friend after Jermey.

Enough of thinking I need to go to his home to look for him and ask him what is the matter and why is he so upset with me, said Nania with a sigh of concern.

Back home, walking down the street...
I could remember to touch, the pain that killed my soul..ever since the party I looked fine or maybe happy but now I could now bear someone touch me unless if it was from a person I knew or I was comfortable with.
But inspite all I was happy I got a new friend like Christan.

Anyways I had to speed and go to Jeremy's home before I went home, I needed to make things clear between us.

I was so sure that once I convince Jeremy and talk to him about the party and all the thoughts which were going around, he would surely understand me and we would again be friends...

I finally reached his home, walking through his main and ringing the bell of his so called big bungalow.
As I earlier mentioned J was way to rich.
His that is a CEO of this big company which has a too weired name which I will never be able to pronounce.
Jeremy's mother has a small bakery just in the corner and must say her baking skills are fantastic specially her choco fill cookies.

As I ring the bell Mrs Austin opens the door and welcomes me in.

''Oh Nania darling its a great pleasure to see you after a long time."
"Same here Mrs Austin.''

Mrs Austin is a worker in J's home but she is not less then their family member.

I knew her since I was a kid.
She used to help me find J when used to come home to play with him.

Oh how silly of me,says Nania as she recalles her childhood memories.The memories of my childhood were so amazing...full of happiness and fun.

Mrs Austin do you know where is Jeremy right now, asked Nania.
Mmm...I guess I saw him going out.
"Oh, great then I will just give him a call to know how long will it take him to come home."

"Hey Nania what a pleasure to have you here...."
Hello aunty...

Mrs Claire is Jeremy's mom, she is way too cool but the thing that upsets me is that she always pairs me with J...
I like J but, come on me and J we both knew we were nothing more than good friends and we knew that we would never ever even in future have any loving feelings for each other.

Listen Nania I got to leave, me and Jeremy's dad have a funeral to attend so I will not be able to give you any company but make yourself comfortable it's just so your home.

With no time Mrs Claire just vanished away.

Great so it's just me and Mrs Austin here now.
I turn on my phone and to call Jeremy at first he did not attend my call but the second time I called him ,he attended it.

"Hey J how are you?"
"I'm good Nania."
"So I was asking where are you right now?"
"Me I'm out here to play basketball."
"Mmm...I am at your home...I wanted to talk to you."
"My match is about to finish in a half an hour....so you could wait?"
"Ya sure!"
"Right then meet you and at home."

Mrs Austin....Mrs Austin exclaimed Nania.

After calling her name many a times Nania realised she was actually alone at home.

It's was already 5 in the evening, I was supposed to be home but I had to wait...cause I could not let him be more upset with me anymore.

Wait what is that my stomach.....
Oh God! I am very hungry.
I hoped up and ran to the kitchen and I opened up every available shelf I could see but I guess there was nothing I wanted to eat when final I saw a packet of lays, I grabbed it and started to eat.
The flavour was simple salts...not my favorite but you know when a person is hungry it can have anything given.

After eating a pack of lays I was still hungry but there was nothing I could eat.
Out of curiosity I went towards Jeremy's room.
It was the first time I was in his room while he was gone.
I entered his room...his room was quite lavish.

I sat on his bed....my eyes ran around the whole room examining each and ever thing present there.
My eyes fell on his laptop...I grabbed it in no time.

J never lets me touch his laptop...and this was my time to take up all the spice his been hidding from me.

I switched on his laptop and after a few seconds of loadings I could see a small box asking me to fill in the password.

I tried a couple of dates I knew, his name, his mother's and father's name but no matches.
Finally when I remember this one day when he tells me that he was going to keep my birthday date as his password in each and everything because it was easy to remember and no one could guess to easily.

Ohk...then my fingers ran over the keyboard; my birthday date and enter.
Surprisingly it opened.

Wow...so now i could go through anything.
He had this black background with nothing on the display.
I checked couple of his photos...nothing too interesting but there, my eyes lay on this one folder which said my love...
It sounded to cringe but it was the spice I wanted....I was too eager to know who she was.
