SERAH'S PAIN

Serah's POV

The weather is too cold for me to handle. I walk along the streets while shivering so hard. The cold weather made my stomach to ache. I felt so bad, and I just hoped I would reach home soon.

The streets were empty. No one was walking around except for me. It was so late and everyone must be sleeping peacefully in their homes right now. The cold weather made everyone get home on time so they could cover themselves up in their warm beds. It was unbearable, especially nighttime. The temperatures were too low outside. No one could bear walking around in the cold, that was the main reason the streets were empty.

My phone which I had kept in my handbag vibrates and I take it out to check who was texting me. I just hoped it was Brian. The man whom I loved most in this world. He was my whole life. I loved him so much and my eyes tear up when I recall what he had told me earlier.

“Serah, where are you? Its getting so late, and I am beginning to be worried about you. Text me back please when you get this message.” My elder sister Mia was the one who had texted me. I read the text and I place my phone back in my purse. There was no point in stressing her out. She never approved Brian to be my boyfriend. She never liked him from the start, and she had warned me severally to stay away from him, but my love for Brian made it impossible to stay away from him. I loved him too much, but he ended up hurting me the most.

I speed up my pace. The weather was becoming unbearable for me. I just needed to get home as soon as possible. My heart was also aching me so much. The words of Brian were still fresh in my mind. I remember what he had told me earlier.

“Its over between us Serah. I have found a better woman than you. You are dead to me. Just get out of my house. I never want to see you again.” Those were his words before he threw me out of his house. It was already at nighttime when he chased me out of his house. I just could not believe my ears when he told me that. It is like he was an entirely different person. Because my Brian would never do that to me.

My legs start to feel weak. I wasn't even seeing ahead anymore. I felt so weak, and I wanted to throw up. I just wished that a car could pass by so that it would give me a ride home. I still had some few minutes to my home.

The cold weather made me freeze, and I just could not bear it anymore. I lose my balance and I fall down. My hands struggle to reach my bag which was now lying on my side. I take out my phone and I type a few words to my sister.

“Help sister. I cannot bear the cold weather. My legs have frozen I cannot walk anymore.”

I wait for her feedback, but none was coming. Maybe she was already asleep because it was already late.

I struggle to get up so I can continue to walk. But I end up tripping down. I hit my head hard on the ground and I lose consciousness.
