So my heart wished at moments that time should freeze. I never considered the thought of what would happen if time indeed literally froze. I lost myself in my abstracted world.
So was it possible that maybe I was dead? Maybe this was the other side or heaven as they call it. Maybe this wasn't even heaven considering nothing is heavenly about a replica of the real world! Maybe we were just stuck in time. Time is that one thing nobody could understand, the funny thing is that in the end, It's all about time. So what could it possibly be? Why were things happening the way they were?
The chain of events started two years ago and back then I hadn't known that I would be sitting in a strange place thinking about weird things and possibilities.
We were fighting as usual on that fateful evening. Lightning was it or something else that struck us? If it was lightning then I was dead for sure! We woke up the next day, wasted time before finally setting out on a crazy journey. We grew closer though he still hated me. He kissed me, it was almost mystical. I finally discovered the reason why he hated me, the reason returned and effect it had in one night!!
Ashton did not give any explanations but kissed me.
So, nothing made sense at all.
If I was a work of fiction, the readers would hate me for sure afterall who likes a character with a messed up brain and abstract ideas, I laughed without any hint of happiness.
"Are you sane?" said a vaguely familiar voice, I looked on my right and above my shoulder, Kevin was looking at me seriously.
"What?" I asked again just to confirm that what I heard was him questioning my sanity.
"Who laughs without reason?" Kevin said rolling his eyes and sitting down next to me.
"I was thinking!" I replied truthfully.
"Oh! I see, thinking about him?" Kevin said with a hint of bitterness in his voice.
"Him?" I asked bewildered.
"Don't think I'm a fool, okay? I saw you kissing him this morning and then I came to ask you what happened, you were too dazed to say anything and so I left you and went for a walk around the whole town only to return and see that you haven't moved from this place but laughing to yourself. You like him, don't you?" Kevin blurted out his thoughts.
"What? No! You're getting it totally wrong!" I said defensively waving my hands.
"Okay, care to explain?" Kevin asked narrowing his eyes.
"Nothing, okay! I don't know what I'm feeling. I was thinking about the current situation and how normal it is. Not!" I said trying to explain my thoughts to him.
"I know it isn't normal but will overthinking provide a solution?" Kevin said.
"I don't know." I said feeling defeated.
"You still didn't answer the other question. Do you like him?" Kevin said calmly which made me wonder if he had feelings all bottled up inside of him because "calm' and 'him' weren't two words we use together in a sentence.
"No!" I said on impulse.
He nodded and didn't say anything.
"Hey Kevin, are we losing hope?" I asked speaking my thoughts out.
He smiled at the sky making me wonder why.
"I read somewhere that hope is that little voice you hear whisper 'maybe' when the entire world seems to shout 'no' but the funny thing is that we would get hope if we hear the world shouting." Kevin said.
I smiled and nodded.
"So what to do now? Any plans?" I asked Kevin.
"Yes!" Kevin nodded as his eyes locked on mine. They shone so bright.
My conscience screamed at me to focus. Stupid conscience! always gets in the way.
"What plan?" I asked obeying my conscience.
"Ashton, we have to get it out of him. I'm sure he knows something we don't." Kevin said and I rolled my eyes.
"So you're back on your investigating Ashton idea?" I asked.
"Yes! we have to and why are you so reluctant?" Kevin asked.
"I just don't feel like asking all this, he hasn't done anything wrong, has he? He doesn't deserve questioning." I said while actually wondering why I was reluctant.
Was it the fear of losing Ashton again? Was he even mine to begin with?

Note: Hey all! So I wrote this again because the first time I wrote, it got deleted coz' I forgot saving, yeah I'm kind of a disaster!
Happy New Year !! :D
I want you all to read this, I hope you do.
I live in the capital city of India, New Delhi. A few days ago, a girl(23) and her friend (a guy) were returning from somewhere, they boarded a private bus and what happened that night has shook our whole nation. The girl was brutally gang raped in the moving bus by 6 men or I should call them monsters. Her friend was beaten too and then they both were thrown out of the bus. I'm leaving some disgusting part out but I just want all you girls out there to stay safe. This girl died on 29 December, she fought the battle bravely but she died. She lit a flame. There were protests in my city of which I was a part too. This makes me question, Is it my city or is it the mentality of some sick misogynists!
Our whole country is mourning for her. R.I.P Delhi Rape Victim. I hope god brings some change, cruel world it is.
Stay Safe..!
