Neel's P.O.V:
I was returning to my place after hanging out with sarah and jack which I didn't enjoyed a little bit. I tried to talk to her to made her understand what my point was about Neha . But she didn't even give a fu*k about my opinion. I gave up as it was useless to talk to her when she decided to not change her mind. I was quite mad at her , so I left without saying anything.
Thrusting my hands inside the pockets I walked through the almost deserted alley . The chilly wind made me shiver as I walked fast not wanting to die in cold as it was getting colder as the night approached .
But a sound made me halt. I looked around perplexed about where the weird sound was coming from. I heard the same sound again as my eyes fell at the corner of the street where someone was lying below the pillar.
He was lying there holding his head , groaning.
Furrowing my brows I slowly approached towards the person, only to realize he was my neighbor.
" uncle Simon! "
I helped him to sit up and gave him some water. Thank god I carried a water bottle with me inside my bag pack.
" uncle what happened? How you fainted and...and this bruise? "
I asked Pointing at the large bruise on his forehead.
" let's go to hospital "
I said, while helping him to get up .
" no...it's okay . I was just returning from one of my friends birthday, when I saw a guy was carrying an unconscious girl on his shoulder...I thought something was fishy so I tried to stop him ...but before I could do something he pushed me . My head hit the pillar and I passed out "
I was shocked . Thank god he was safe , that kidnapper could do something more dangerous to him.
" are you sure you're okay ? Atleast let's visit a doctor for check up to make sure there is no serious injuries "
" I am fine Neel...don't worry ..it's just a little injury. I am worried about the girl . she goes to same school with you I think. She was wearing the same uniform as yours. "
" did you saw the kidnapper's face ? "
I asked.
" no, he was wearing a mask . Wait...you have a girl bestfriend right?"
I looked at him perplexed, why was he suddenly asking me about Neha?
" yeah..I do why ?"
" you guys always go home together. Then why are you alone today? Where is she ? "
" ah..I was hanging out with other friends. She went home by herself....."
My words dissapeared when I realized...
" shit ! "
I watched him in terror .
" y-you mean.."
" maybe...maybe the girl is your bestfriend . We should go to the police station first "
I pulled out my phone quickly dialing her number . The ringing sound was heard from somewhere near as I followed the sound . There was her phone lying on the ground. My number was showing on the screen.
I took the mobile in my hands leaning my face on my palms.
" oh no !! "
End of Neel's P.O.V
Numb, it was what I felt , lying there on the cold floor with my bare self. My soul, my body , wasn't pure anymore...they're tainted .
I couldn't save myself to those monsters disguised as human being. I couldn't cry, no tears left in my eyes. I was tired ...tired of myself.
Being there left like a trash , I was indeed ; a trash, a dirt which shouldn't exist cause it will only pollute the world.
For the first time I appreciated the darkness around me and hated lights. The light would only show me those scars that was all over me as a proof that I was tainted.
I wish I could go back in time a stop myself from going back home alone or I could stop myself from even going school .
I wish It was just was just a nightmare. It was a nightmare indeed but the only difference was , no one would ever wake me up and say ' it was just a nightmare ' . I would never woke up fro m the nightmare. I was stuck inside that nightmare for my entire life.
Propping myself on my elbows , I dragged myself to the corner and pushed myself up to sit . The physical pains were nothing compared to the pain my soul felt. I was dead , only difference was breathing unlike the dead bodies. I wished I could stop my breathing too , the air was suffocating me . I hugged my knees, tucking my head between them.
The horrible flashes made me broke in tears again. I guess I was wrong when I said I couldn't cry anymore.. I felt so disgusted at myself. The touches of their dirty hands still lingered over my body . I felt like someone was tearing my chest apart.
Suddenly the door opened with a thud making me flinch. My eyes twitched cause of the sudden light.Some barged inside as I watched him in terror. There he stood infront of me I couldn't saw him properly cause of the darkness.
Two more figure came and stood behind him . I started to tremble . The grip around my knees tightened as I sunk between the walls as much as could .
" p-please don't..d-dont come closer...d-dont touch me ....don't touch me..."
I begged them , my voice came out as a whisper. Tears streamed uncontrollably down my face as I was shaking in terror.
The figure stepped forward ignoring all my begging. His figure hovered over my figure as I looked upward at him.
"Please...p-please let me go ..."
I begged again clasping my palms together. He sat down , now he was at my level.
I closed my eyes tight in fear . Next moment I felt his touch on my shoulders as I flinched.
My eyes shoot open but I saw a shirt over my bare self and he wrapped his arms around me .
" I-I am sorry...I am sorry Neha...I couldn't protect you "
" Neel...."
I didn't think once before wrapping my arms around him and cry all my lungs out.
