Chapter 34 - Dead Inside

Lily was sitting at the edge of the terrace, her feet dangling there. Her hairs blew with the wind, her dainty figure covered in hospital gown looked so frail he was afraid she would fall over from the edge. Near her was a bottle of wine. He wanted to reach to her, hence when he took a step forward her voice stopped him " don't come near me Zack, I will jump from here. I don't think you should come near me".

I calmed my self while sending a message to my group " start plan A ". If this would have been other person he would have felt angry and a bit irritated but now he felt a deep despair inside his chest, making his heart beat fast. I made my voice as serene as possible " Meadow come down here". She laughed " you know what I hate the most?" I didn't reply as my attention was all on how to make her come down, still I needed her engaged. So, I asked " what is it Meadow tell me I will remove it completely from your life".

.She started snickering so hard at one point she almost slipped. I tried to run over but she managed herself and with her hand made me stop. 10 steps that was the distance between her and me. She looked at me for a while then said " it's my name Zack this is the first thing I hate the most you know when I was in coma it was all black for me I was in a black pool with nothing around me just abyss. That's when I heard you calling me Lily. I was so happy that I am no longer that cursed Meadow Hawthorne. I am Lily, I was all excited probably Meadow was all a lie, a dream. I was probably some Lily having the nightmare of some Meadow. It would all be a lie Zack".

Zack had tears coming down his cheeks, his eyes red. He took a deep breath. " I know Lily it all happened to you, but come down I will make you forget everything. I promise you" he said in hoarse voice. She was also crying but there was a smile on her face " you can't make me forget him Zack, it's all here" she said this while holding her head. She screamed loudly and said " It's here Zack, making me relive it again and again. I see myself crawling toward him like a dog, while shedding my clothes,my dignity, my soul. All for making sure Maa lived and probably I would survive too. How stupid I was how can I survive from this Zack when I am already dead Inside".
