He Broke Me

13

"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?
