please imagine me!

chapter 8

I hadn't moved an inch since he asked me to stop moving or talking ,but, I've never been so determined to win before. I kept changing the topics, I apologized twice or thrice, and oh! I could ask something that he'd want to answer.

"you think I deserve to know more, don't you?" I questioned as I pushed my face a little backward so as to reach his ear with a trembling voice.  "I do" ,he replied but tightened his grip around my neck.

"then tell me! release me, I promise I am gonna stay in place and listen" I paused as he gave me an evil smirk when I turned to look at him. "oh I give you my word" I finished and waited for him to say something. He didn't reply for a whole minute and I could sense his rhythmic breaths on the right back of my neck. He was breathing calmy, he was thinking, considering my offer. I could feel his words tickle my neck as he spoke, "only when I 'm sure that you're the one locked up in there." I sighed in dismay. He tugged me further towards the cell but I resisted . The pressure I created ,certainly ,couldn't oppose him so we were close enough to where he wanted me to be and a sudden "shrrrrshh" jerked him. The lights were out. The universe was surely by my side today. I quickly turned as he tried adjusting to the darkness, did I have owl-eyes? Before he could even realise, I took the knife off his hand. He tried to get it back when it occurred to him but I wouldn't let him. I moved back and back until something hard struck my leg. I turned a bit during all the dodging and found the hard object to be the wooden chair I sat on. Caleb leaned over and over until there was no way for me to escape the trap. My back hit the top portion of the chair which was supposed to support the same back of mine. In no time, I was landing hard on the ground. I probably failed myself again. In a fraction of seconds, the legs of the chair hit caleb and he fell over the knife in my hand. I could see the tip of  the knife ripping through his skin and reaching the other side. Blood oozed from his body as I took in this fierceful sight which I had created. "no! oh caleb! noo" I screamed as I laid him on his back, beside me and gathered the courage to take the knife out of his body. "Caleb! I'll fix this I'll fix you . just keep your eyes open and think about your friends , your family" I said and took the knife out of him in one go. "Caleb, just " I couldn't find the words as I looked at his eyes which were now filled with tears and held onto his face. "rih" he tried to get the words out of him while I wrapped my jacket around his wound, "rihanna don't lis-" he tried once again.

"noo! caleb just wait" I decided to call an ambulance as more blood flowed from his body.

"hello? how can we help you?"

"I need-" I tried to say between my sobs.

"hello?"

"am in not audible? I said I need-"

"hello? is anyone there?" I immediately hung up as I realised they couldn't hear me. I decided to take him to the hospital and do something. I turned, just to find him staring at the ceiling with a blank expression. noo,"Caleb? oh my god Caleb? jus-just blink!" ,my screams turned to sobs. I finally acknowledged the fact that he was gone. He was dead. I killed him. I stole his entire life just in a heartbeat. He never would've done this to me. I stepped away from his body and collapsed. "I am sorry, Cal". I said for a million times together.

I sat looking at his empty eyes and the face which had no adorable smiles now, for hours. I decided to bury him as I couldn't give him a funeral. I ran to the nearby garage and fetched a showel, which disappeared as soon as I touched it, I went back and dragged Caleb's body towards the cemetery. I found and reached an empty spot after a lot of dragging. I started to dig the soft-mudded ground furiously, as sobs and screams found their way back to me. when I realised that there was enough space for him , I dragged his body inside the hole and looked at him for the last time before covering him with the mud that I'd taken out. Is this really happening? "I'm sorry caleb, I really am, I didn't mean to.." I sobbed as I said those words as a final goodbye to him. I patted the ground with the showel so it would be equal to rest of the land and hugged the mud-mountain, Caleb was kept under. A flood of emotions overwhelmed me. I could do nothing but cry in remembrance. We were at odds, many odds but he wouldn't ever take away my life as I'd taken away his. He wouldn't hide his guilt and mistakes like I had by burying him right away, without a second thought. I got up and started walking towards stella's with a muddy showel in my hand. I cried out every ounce of water in my body. I was mid-way to my destination when I spotted a girl looking at me. I turned around to find no one. She was looking right at me. I turned around once more and when got back to the girl, she was standing right in front of me. I took in her really pale face and big eyes. Her hair was black like mine but only that she had streaks of purple and red on them. She wore a white,floral-printed, flowing dress . My heartbeats raced faster and were soon at the pinnacle of their speed while she gave me daggering looks. "have we met before?" she asked with a pleasant smile, which seemed a little too strange, for, the change in her behaviour from that murderous look in eyes to the sweetness in her pleasent smile was scary. I parted my lips to say something but before I could even shake my head in a 'no' she held me by the neck and pinned me on the wall right beside the sidewalk.

"I haven't done anything!" I screamed out of the shock.

"or have you?" she asked with the same daggering look as before the smile. 

"I never wanted to- I never meant to hurt-" I tried begging for mercy but she aimed at choking me to death and said, "save it, and listen up you-", she immediately released me as a bigger figure approached us. He looked much like her except that his hair was just black and he was way bigger. "I told you not to" he growled at her as I stayed stuck to the wall. "yeah you did,  but duh!" she said and her eyes became unimaginably bigger at the 'duh'. He bent his head in annoyance and said,"Ven" in a low yet powerful tone.

"whatever" the girl said and walked away nonchalantly. The man turned to me and said, "I apologize on her behalf" he had an impressive British accent but I was too terrified to even nod. He gave me a sympathizing look and walked away. The events of today are gonna be alive forever in my memory, wait, how could they see me?
