(Recap)
"Kyle, I hate you. How could you do this to me?" I shouted making a scene at the middle of the road.

It's his fault anyway.

I stormed off. I wasn't thinking straight, that's for sure.

On my way, two guys were smoking something and since I wasn't in my senses, "mind if I join?" I asked.

As I told you, my mind's not working. I feel like a useless shit. Who cares if I destroy my life.

I smoked one. Two. And kept on smoking.

After that, I don't remember what happened? I was here when I woke up.

Before getting there I guess it's important to know how it happened...

Day: 29
Date: 10th July 2016
Time: 1500
Place: Home

"All the best, Ashton." Mom shouted. "I'll see you guys there." She continued and left for her office in a hurry.

I smiled and waved her goodbye.

"Let's go." Kyle shouted.

He was waiting outside my house and honked several times to catch my attention.

"I'm coming." I answered and rush towards the gate to find Kyle getting scolded by my neighbors.

I internally laughed.

"I'm sorry ma'am. I won't honk, like ever. I'd never dare to honk again." He kept on apologizing.

I walked beside him and greeted my neighbors as sweetly as I could but she didn't stop scolding us.

After five minutes of torture, Kyle pointed at a distance and asked her what was that. As she turned around, we sneaked out.

We reached the venue right on time. I was really excited for my performance and so were others.

I engaged myself in a conversation with the band while Kyle and Lia were talking.

The topics of discussion were - how are we going to perform, we are very lucky that we got this opportunity and then it got way awkward as the guys started talking about the 'guy things' like I wasn't there.

I was internally becoming an awkward turtle so I left the group and approached Kyle and Lia.

"What did the vice principal say? Or as I must say, what did your mom say about it?" Lia asked Kyle while I came.

Kyle's mom! That bitch is Kyle's mom.

By mistake, I said those lines out loud.

"What! You called my mom a bitch!" Kyle exclaimed. He was furious.

"That vice principal made my life a hell, I have the right to call her whatever I want." I argued.

"Just because everything was your fault and she punished you, you're blaming her for your misery. How insolent are you?" He shouted at me.

"Ya ya, even you'll take her side. How can I forget that an offspring of a bitch will also be a bitch. Or a dog in general." I defended myself.

The next events is known by all.

Day: 29
Place: Unknown

"BITCH." He shouted at my face. Slapped as hard as he could.

It was so hard that I fell sideways and the cloth that tied my eyes, became loose.

I saw the guy behind that voice and my misery- Igor.

He continued slapping me. Each slap was harder than the previous one.

In two seconds, I was shot unconscious.

When I woke, Dallas and Kyle were standing right infront of me.

My mind was going through exorbitant pain. I could reason anything.

'What is happening?', it was my internal thought.

"Ash. I'm glad that you're alright." Dallas comforted me.

Kyle's eyes were wandering around in attempts of ignoring me. Maybe he couldn't face the fact that I called his mom a bitch. In fact, nobody would.

Man! I felt guilty.

I want to make up for my mistakes but I don't know how.

Before that, I need to correct more mistakes.

"Igor." I shouted as he was walking away.

He kept on walking.

"Igor, wait." I called him again.

He responded by standing patiently but faced towards the opposite side.

I rushed towards him but didn't know what to say.

"Igor." I spoke softly.

"What do you want now?" His rudeness striked me hard.

"Don't leave. I don't want things to be this way." I couldn't wait for him to say anything and continued blabbering. I was dying to say these words for years.

"I started and you took revenge, I guess we are even now. Even you know that I was in misery when you provoked me and you're seeking for vengeance right now. I don't want to repeat the cycle again...."

"Please stay." I grabbed him from the back and hugged him.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

Even though I know that sorry won't change a thing, it was all I could do.

"I'm sorry for everything." I whispered again.

He wasn't responding. It was making me cry inside.

"I'm sorry too." He whispered softly, in a minimal audible voice.

Those words made tears escaped my eyes.

We hugged each other tightly and cried.

After a quite long time, we stopped. The guys were staring at us but didn't utter a word.

It was Rick who broke the silence by saying, " guys, I guess we got a fest to attend."

I smiled but my mind was going in circles. There were many questions to ask.

"Dallas", I called him as he stood beside Kyle, " can you tell me what happened?"

"What do you mean?" He asked.

I gave a ' you know what I mean' look.

"Glad to see me Tink. I hope that you missed me like I missed me." It was Peter playing mind games with me.

At that moment, I found my fantasy.
It felt like, everything around me disappeared and only Dallas was right beside me. I was lost on words.

This didn't need much explaination. Dallas was my Peter all along.

"How did you find me?" I asked.

"Kyle knew." He responded.

What! Kyle, why?

I didn't want to start another crying session so I silently sobbed inside.

"Tink. It's ok." He said and hugged me tightly. For a moment, I felt like I was loosing my breath. It was that tight but it felt right.

"You know I can read your mind right?" He stated.

I punched his shoulder after hearing his comment.

Smile didn't leave my face.

"Guys, we are running late." Igor said and we rushed towards Igor's Jeep.

In the car, Igor took the driver's seat and Rick sat beside him. Me, Dallas and Kyle sat at the back. Since Dallas was beside me, I feel comfortable but I don't know how to face Kyle.

I called his mom a bitch and he knew about my whereabouts but .....

... He saved me in the end.

Wow! Messed up thoughts.
