*****flashback

Adam's pov

I left her alone.

Again

I left her in our room. Bound and broken. With no one to help her. Again.

Part of me was screaming at me, for not continuing what I had begun. It was as if there was someone residing within my brain. And that person was evil. That person was taunting me. Making fun of me. Repeating the words over and over again.

You are weak.

But I ignored that part.

I couldn't stay there after what had happened. After all the words she spoke.

Maybe her words held truth, maybe they did not.

But the worse part was, I did not have anyone to answer the question for me.

And I was going crazy because of that. I did not have dad to tell me whether my path was right or not. I did not have the girl I once loved. I did not have anyone.

And this made my blood boil . I was losing control over myself. And this was the one reason why I left. For I knew, if I stayed there, I would end up killing her. Or myself

-------

I was driving to god knows where. Her words kept repeating itself on my mind like a broken record.

Mr.Black would be disappointed in you

Mr.Black would be disappointed in you

Mr.Black would be disappointed in you

FUCKKKK. NOOOOO

She is lying. She doesn't know what she is talking about. Whatever I am doing now is for him. Dad wouldn't be dissapointed in me. He would be proud. Yes he would proud. I am avenging his death.

He is proud of me. He is proud of me. He is proud of me...

But who was I kidding. I knew myself that these worlds held no truth. But I had to convince myself

Her words hurt me to the core. It angered me and hurt me at the same time. She just knew me too well to know to strike at the place it would hurt the most.

But somehow I couldn't blame her. Because even though her words hurt me, my mind couldn't stop thinking whether what she said was the truth.

-------

I was now sitting on an old park bench. I didn't know how long I was driving, but I found myself coming to this park.

This was the park where I spent most of my childhood. This was the park where dad would bring me every weekend to play. This was the park where I used to play with her. This was the park where I first saw her...

A cool breeze blew across my face as I was intently staring into nothingness. The breeze somewhat soothed my mind. Helping me to have a clear view on my situation now.

That breeze seemed to bring a sort of peace within my mind. And at that moment I found my eyes closing on its own. I found myself drifting into times, when everything was happier and more peaceful.

I found myself drifting to the time where I had two of the most important people in my life.

******

"Come on Adam you can do this." My dad spoke to the seven year old me.

"Dad I can't," I whined.

I was currently on a cycle, and I was hell scared as I didn't know how to ride it. Dad was beside me, helping me. But still my fear was taking over me.

"Adam. Look. I am holding you. You just move your legs and try to balance yourselves. I am here. I wont let go."

"You promise?"

"Yes Adam. I promise. I will never let go."

And somehow after those magical words of his, I learned to ride a cycle quite quickly. I had my falls. But I never gave up. Because dad was there beside me. And he promised to never let go

*******

He lied.

He promised to never let go. To never leave me.

But he left leaving me behind all alone.

And because of his departure, I was sitting here, an utter chaotic mess.

*****

"You can't catch me Adam", the little version of Sabrina taunted me.

She kept giggling as she was running away from me.

I smiled while running behind her.

"I can and I will Bree. You stole all my chocolates . I wont let you go away that easy"

Saying that, I started running even faster.

I was almost about to catch her when she shrieked and took a turn . Her attention was towards me as she tried to save herself from my wrath.

Suddenly she collided with a girl and fell on her back. That girl looked around my age. She had a glass in her hand which was now empty as the juice in it was drenching both her and Sabrina.

I started laughing hysterically at that scene. Bree frowned cause she knew that I had won.

She tried to get up, when that other girl pushed her with all her might. Bree yelped and fell back on the ground. This fueled my rage. How dare she?

"WHY ARE YOU PUSHING HER?"

"Excuse me. Will you stop screaming? She was the one at fault. Because of her my clothes are ruined and my juice fell." She defended herself.

"Listen," I raged ," I dont care what happened. But no one touches my friend"

Maybe it was because of the way I spoke. Or maybe it was because of my tall height for my age, the girl left immediately from there.

As soon as she left I helped Sabrina on her feet

"Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? " I enquired.

"Adam relax. I am totally fine. And you shouldn't have screamed at her. It was my fault."

"No matter whether it's your or someone else's fault, no one gets to hurt my bestfriend. Not even me."

With that I hugged her and she returned the gesture.

"You are the best," she mumbled

I smiled and said, " I know"

*********

That moment something moved within me. I promised her that no one gets to hurt her. No matter what.

So what am I doing now?

When I myself am the one who is hurting her. This is wrong. This is all wrong.

At that moment I felt someone talking to me. I didnt see anyone around. But I was sure someone spoke out my name.

Adam

The voice belonged to someone I knew. Someone very dear to me.

Dad.

I knew this wasn't one of the flashbacks. It was happening now. But how could it be possible. Maybe it was just a hallucination. But it felt so real.

And then dad spoke again. I couldn't see him, but I could feel him

Dont disappoint me

And that is when her voice rang in my head

Be grateful he is dead now. Because if he would have seen you now, he would've killed himself

And at that moment I realised that I was all wrong. My ways were wrong. Hurting her was wrong.

And so I stood up and walked back to my car.

I was going to go back to her. I was going to fix this...

So. What do you guys think about this chapter?
