Chapter-18 Gosh!!!he is really here but why??

Erica's POV***

When I went there with so much hope that he will believed me and not to Melvin 's lies....my hopes and faith all shattered like a dust .I thought that he would believed me and helped me out but when I reached there and explained what happened ,he didn't believ....me,once again I am all alone inside my cocoon,alone and emptiness once again fill in.

I did never thought that this day would come again ,I thought I could enjoy my life again ,make friends ,find a lover which I did but from the start he was never mine,he never loved or liked me ,it was only me and my imagination who thought that he will love and like me. Stupid Erica!!!stupid of you thinking about him loving you,stupid of you with hope of enjoying your life ,stupid of being happy,stupid ,stupid.

But what affected me the most is his words which I think he said out of anger but even out of anger how could he say that,'I wish you did never came in my life','Just get lost from here and from my life','don't you ever appear in front of me'. Just by the thought I really can't get those out from my mind and Richard you really hurt me this time and if you think that I am burdened to you ,I won't stay here with you and forget about those marriage thing that our parents  promised. I really can't stay here with you even if I wanted to. Then I was pulled out from my thought when someone blew air behind my ear.

I turn around to see Melvin ,he stood there with a smirk on his face.

"so,what have you decided Erica ?being here and let me and those girls torture you and you know me right ,how much I wanted you on my bed or are you going to go back to Boston and face the people there,its up to you"and he lean over the wall and cross his arm over his chest.

"and if you stay here yours and Richard's relationship will always be like this ,full of hatred and there will be more,sweetheart"and he wink at me.

How could he do this even here when my life was getting a bit normal?how can he come in and destroyed all my happiness?why,why??

And a lonesome tear roll down on my cheeks.

Then I stood up and walk away from Melvin ,away from this college ,away from Richard ,yes ,I have decided to return back to my parents where I was born and lived my life there. And I won't come back here in  NY nor in Richard's life. With that thought I went to my and Richard house,packed my bags and dash out from the house but not before informing aunt and uncle about it because when I came here they were the one who took care and loved me like their daughter and I am grateful for their kindness and without informing them would be so ungrateful on my part so I told them and went away ,yes,at first aunt hesitate to let me go and did ask me reason why I am leaving and I am not that stupid enough to tell the the truth which will only make them worry so I just told them that I miss my parents and I just want to visit them and I'll return ,which is all a lie because I will never return back,after that I went away.

Hours of travelling I finally reached Boston,I did inform my parents about returning and so they came and pick me up from the airport and now,I am back at my birth place ,back at home my sweet home town.

"mom,I miss you"I said before giving her a tight hug.

"I miss you too my baby"she hug me back.

"dad"and I hug him as well

"my sweetheart!!!"and he hug me tightly.

After that we went home and when we were travelling ,we pass by some people and when they saw me their face was turn into anger full of hatred and rage . So ,I slide down on my seat and mom noticed me and she said,

"baby!!!"

"I am fine!!!"I said to assure her that I am alright but from inside I wanted to cry out loud because I really can't get the sight of Richard and his rude words out from my mind but I really can't show my parents that I am break from inside. So in order to suppressed that I decided to take a nap and within a second sleep took over me.

I was soon woken up by my mom since we are home ,I got off the car and look around the surrounding where there is no house only trees and my family cattle only that thought makes me wanted to cry because I am going to missed my stay in NY.

I was brought to reality when mom touch my shoulder.

"you alright sweety"she asked with concerned since I had been standing here near the car ever since I got here and I didn't even realised when they took all my luggage inside.

"yes mom ,I am fine,its just that I really missed this place"I said and gave her a fake smile.

"okay,now lets get you inside"she said and we went inside but not before  she look around  the surrounding .

Yes,still now the people in this small society doesn't liked me and ever since I was born I am being the victim of those people and I am tired of being trap inside but I can't make them understand that its not my fault for what happen 15 yrs ago.

Ever since I came here ,I only stayed inside the house ,doing nothing just lying on my bed and looking through the pics that me and Richard had click but with forced because he really don't like taking pictures. I smiled at the thought of how funny was that day ,when I force him to take pics but then soon tears rolled down and I started to cry again. And sometimes I help my mom in cooking and dusting the house.

And I didn't even knew that ,its been 3 weeks that I have return from NY and my parents always asked me about, when I am going back but I always make excuses by saying that I have taken leave for a month but sooner or later my mom and dad are going to find out and unluckily that's today,aunt Corey called up at my home and asked mom about when I am going to return and also about my leave from school,actually I didn't applied any leave before rushing here and now ,I  have to answer their questions and they are now both standing in front of me where I am seated on the couch.

"sweety tell us,what happen there between you and Richard ?"mom asked in her normal voice.

"yes sweety,did anyone said anything to you?"dad asked with concerned 

A warm tears rolled over my cheeks before I could say anything. When they both saw my tears ,they both came and sat beside me and I couldn't even speak a word before I burst out crying ,mom hug me and pat my back and dad held my hand tight.

When I relax myself,I said,

"mom,dad,he came there,he was at the college where I was studying, Melvin enrolled in the same college as mine and..."tears rolled down on my cheeks.

"and he abused and harassed me there as well and even threatened me that if I tell anyone about him ,he'll ,he'll..."I couldn't speak anymore.

"shush enough ,you needn't say anymore sweety"mom said as she held both my hand tightly.

"yes and you don't need to feel scared because I am going there to teach him a lesson  by myself "dad stated angrily

I shook my head and said,

"no dad you don't have to ,you don't need to do that because I am not going  back there"

"what do you mean?and Richard is worried about you..."I cut him off

"no,I am not returning even if he is worried or not ,I don't care"and  I crossed my arm over my chest.

"sweety don't you missed him"mom asked

"no ,I don't and  I don't want to talk about him"I yelled

"okay we won't "dad said 

I missed him but I told my parents that I don't missed him because he broke me from inside by his harsh words that day when I pleaded him to believe me. 

And it was from last week that he did kept calling me every hour but I ignored it or sometime switch it off or even rejected it and when I check my call log its full of his number and even in my inbox full of his message but I never tried to call or message him back .

BEEP~~BEEP~~~

I open my cell and still his message,I open the message and the text surprised me,

"I AM HERE OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE TO TAKE YOU HOME TO OUR HOUSE"

I rash towards my wardrobe and pushed my wardrobe actually my wardrobe has a wheel at its end so that whenever I want to look outside through the ventilation I can look through it.

I went and push my table towards the wall and I climb up and open my ventilation and I tiptoe and peep through it  and there he is ,with his parents.

Gosh !!!he is here but Why??
