She sits in the dark basement shivering. A cold tinkle trickles down her spine as she hears banging above. She hears her mother scream and looks down at her phone. She turns it on to see that the time is 2:35 a.m.
She taps on the emergency dial button and calls 911. She tells them  her address and that there is a fight  as she opens the basement door. She steps up the crumbling stone staircase, each step making a small thump. She strikes a match as she says," I see a fire starting too." She sets the matchbox on the carpet before placing the burning one on top. The carpet quickly sets on fire. Her parents don't notice the flame as they are too obsessed with their argument over each other's parenting skills. The girl walks over to the door. She grabs the handle. "Where do you think you're going Kowareta?!" Her mother hisses angrily. Kowareta ends the call before replying."I'm leaving"  Kowareta replied plainly. "You wouldn't last a day alone", her father growled, " you're only 14!" She looked him in the eye before pulling out a plastic water bottle filled with gasoline from her backpack. She grinned and poured it on the hardwood floor in front of the door. Her parents suddenly noticed the fire. "You are a monster." Her mother mumbled loudly. "I hope you die out there!" Her dad ran to the back door and tried to open it with no success. "I blocked the door." Kowareta mumbled nonchalantly.  " you worthless demon!" Her dad yelled at her. She watched as the gasoline caught fire and burst into flames. Reaching down, she touched up some still burning ash and used it to give her some burns, she then covered her face and body with ash. She ran out coughing seeing the crowd of concerned neighbors and a few police men who were patrolling the area. "My parents are still in there!" She screamed fake crying. At that point she realized that she didn't feel so good. Her arms were burning and her vision was blurry, she could hardly breathe. She fell coughing, before passing out.

"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
