On the way home, Aniya was driving by multiple places and then she drove past her school. This shocked her because she started to remember everything that happened to her, she stopped the car in front of the building and parked by other cars, her hand going up to her mouth as she covered it. "Oh.." She whispered underneath her breath. "Oh..?" Aniya whispered again, tears filling up her eyes as she placed her other hand onto her stomach to remember the harsh cutting pain of the knife going inside of her multiple time. "That's what happened? Oh my god I died! Oh my god! Oh my god! What the h-"
Suddenly, she found it hard to breathe, it felt like her chest was caving in and her throat tightened up. She placed her hands onto the steering wheel with great force, breathing in and slowly with some slight gasps here and there. "No wonder why I was in that place! That's why I'm fine? I thought I..I survived! I covered my face so people wouldn't think of me as a freak! This isn't happening! This isn't happening, this is all some sort of dream!" Aniya told herself and placed her head onto the steering wheel, her mind going back to what happened the summer of going into Junior year of high-school.
—————————{TWO MONTHS AGO: July}
"So, Aniya. Now that we're officially hanging out and stuff, why not tell me a bit about yourself?" A boy with brown hair named Brian was walking with Aniya in a park. Aniya liked Brian, but unbeknownst to her, he was someone who already had another person. Her name's Trinity Cumberbatch, head cheerleader of Houston High-school and popularity was that of a social media star in her school. "I thought I did tell you everything over text! Come on, do I have to tell you it all over again? I'm too lazy." She whined and frowned with puppy dog eyes to which Brian actually bought. "Fine, fine! I just wanted to have a conversation with you is all." He replied with a sharp smile on his face, pushing his hands into his jacket pockets. "Conversation? Come on, you know you can always have one with me! Just don't ask the same questions of course." Aniya chuckled.
"That's really sweet of you, thanks." Brian would reply as he looked down at the ground and continued walking with her, he stopped in his tracks which caused Aniya to do the same. "Have you ever kissed someone? Or engaged with anyone that wanted you for.. you?" Brian asked, honestly he was curious and tried his best not to seem creepy for asking this. "Um, no, no I haven't. Why? What's up?" Aniya asked, a smile coming onto her face since she knew where this was going, or at least she thought she knew. "Well.." Brian stepped a bit closer to her, his hand going out of his pocket as he placed his hand against her cheek. "This." He leaned in, pressing his lips against Aniya's and closing his eyes to which she did as well. She lightly gripped onto his sleeves, smiling within the kiss. Even from this age she's never witness such a kiss before so this was special for her. A few more seconds go by and Brian pulls away very slowly with the brightest smile on his face, Aniya having the same.
"That.. was amazing. Thank you." Aniya replied, but as soon as she saw a group of girls heading in her direction her heart would drop to the lower pits of her stomach. "Brian? Brian who are they?" Aniya asked to which Brian turned around, eyes widening to the fullest. "Oh shit." He murmured. The boy quickly ran over to his girlfriend who was leading the group, and can you guess who it was? That's right, the blonde that had stabbed her. "You fucking skank!" She pushed past her boyfriend and walked up to Aniya, standing so close to her that both of them could smell their perfume roaming off each other. "It's over for you. Trust me when I say this because I took my medicine today and I feel great! Usually I don't feel like stabbing another bitch right after it, but now I do!" Trinity would tell Aniya, but Aniya called her bluff, she stepped up closer to her and stood over her. "What makes you think that I'm scared of you? Huh? Just because you have your posse here doesn't mean anything, guaranteed that you would be shaking in those boots of yours if they weren't here. It's not my fault we kissed, he simply found me to be better." Aniya fiercely replied. Trinity's eyebrows clicked up and she tilted her head, biting down on her lip while giving off this psychotic vibe. She nodded, backing off with her clique also doing the same. "Okay. Okay. Watch your back, that's all I can say to you."
—————————————{PRESENT DAY}
"I really am stupid aren't I? Why didn't I believe them? Fuck!" She slammed her palm onto the steering wheel and reached down, pushing the stick to drive mode as she began to drive off in a slow speed.
After a few minutes of driving she finally arrived at her house and put the car next to the driveway, she turned off the vehicle while staring at her house, the sky turning into a dark grey with pink clouds roaming above it. "I'm coming." She whispered. Tears beginning to fill up her eyes as she took the keys out of the ignition and locking the door after she exited.
Aniya closed the car door behind her and took in a deep breath, tears slowly roaming down her cheek as she wiped them off moments after. "Fuck.." She whispered again, not ready to see her parents in pain once she goes inside. Aniya walked around the car slowly and made her way up to the front porch, checking to see if the door was unlocked. It was.
She twisted the doorknob, slowly pushing it open as she would see her parents on the couch, comforting each other over their daughter's 'death'. "Mama, Baba. Hi." Aniya spoke, her voice almost cracking and shaking since she tried the hardest not to cry in front of them. "B-Beta?" Her dad would call out in a confusingly manner. "Oh my god.." The mother would say, a smile slowly enlightening her face with joy.
"Hi.." Aniya couldn't hold it back anymore, tears began to fall and she begun to sob happily whilst looking at them. Both of her parents got up as they made their way over to Aniya, wrapping their arms around her and letting her cry. "It's okay. I don't even know how you are here, but we will talk about that later. I'm just glad you are back." The father would say to her, patting Aniya's and Ali's head lightly as he kissed them on top of both of their heads. Aniya still crying.
