Chapter 10 - Reunion Part 10

'Hey Em where did you went suddenly from the hall, I was so worried for you. What happened to you? Why did you look so pale? Is everything alright?' Jenna questioned in one breath.

'I am okay Jenna. I just needed some fresh air. Let's go home, I am really tired.'

Jenna could sense that something was wrong with Emily. Emily was always cheerful, she never wore such a pale and gloomy face unless… Something must have happen back then, she might have encountered with Jake! This can only be the explanation as nevertheless Emily can never be sad if she hadn't met him.

'Did you meet Jake?' Jenna asked cautiously

'Does that matter?'

Sensing her tone Jenna thought it's better to remain quiet as she knew she can't provoke the devil neither she want to see her friend unhappy. The ride to home became quieter and quieter and Jenna sighed out relief once they reached home.

Without any word Emily left for her room, seeing her swift actions Jenna assumed something have really went wrong tonight, otherwise her friend would never act like that.

The night was getting cold and cold. The voices in the surrounding dropped to zero and very low sound would be heard. Snuggling in her quilt, Emily was trying to sleep by changing her side frequently but could not sleep.

Tonight became a headache and she regretted going to reunion. If Jenna would have not forced her, she would never have gone. Alas! Now it was happen. She got up from her bed and went to have a warm glass of milk thinking it would make her sleep.

Just to kill some time Emily decided to watch some TV and randomly selected a channel. Without giving any attention to it, she was gulping down the milk, when her eyes frizzed as she heard the song 'When I see you'.

'When I see you' was one of the popular songs sung by most cherished idol of all time Chris when she was still in the school. It was the song on which she danced on her prom night also the song on which her heart was broken. The song which made her realize her emotions, told her how to speak with eyes and most importantly how to love!

Emily immediately turned off the TV and went to sleep. As she tried to sleep, flashback occurred across her eyes. The naive innocent girl who never dressed up, was always original self appeared in front of her. That was an age when her emotions started to grow and to prove that she was willing to accept another person in her life.

'Hey are you alright?' a strong firm but gentle voice ranged in her ear while she was collecting her books scattered over the place.

She was recurring herself from the accident as she bumped into the car. Before she could react a tall domineering figure approached her towards him and she felt like someone was protecting her after all these years.
