C4 Chapter-4

Sara's POV:

I was in my room, alone, since those girls weren't back yet. I was so worried. Will i be able to tolerate this or should I move out? I questioned myself, standing in front of the mirror. My long brown hair falling down my back, looked beautiful as i combed them. I was wearing white buttoned loose shirt with white trouser as i regarded them as my night dress. Suddenly, the door of the room opened with a slam. Comb in my right hand slipped and fell down, as i got shock. I turned towards the door. Three girls entered inside. Eva in the center and Alexandra and Kathleen on her left and right sides. She furiously came towards me and grabbed my hair from the back of my head.

" What the hell do you think you are? You slut... You dared to seduce my Dan ... You dared to touch my man... I will make you live your life as a hell that even you will question your existence."

" No, wait. Listen to me. There is some misunderstanding."

I didn't complete my words that she pushed me violently. I was on the floor. She eventually came near me, again grabbed me from by hair, made me stand by holding my hair.

" You slut... I'll let you know the consequences of going against me. What do you think you are? You are just a bitch, a great burden to this world."

At this, i looked into her eyes. I could see hatred.

" Eeeevvvaaa.... Trust meee.... I'm reallly didn't do anything. I have nothing to do with Daniel. Please listen toooo meee."

I tried to convince her but as these words came out of my mouth, she slapped me across my face with so much force that i again fell down on the ground.What is she going to do now? She's not even letting me speak. How I'm supposed to clear this misunderstanding? What should I do?I touched my lips. They were bleeding.

" Shut up you moron. Don't say mine and Dan's name with that shit mouth of yours."

She was shouting at me. Alot of the girls gathered around our room in order to see who's the unlucky girl got beaten up by EAKs. Since our door was opened, they could easily see this whole drama.

" You bloody slut..."

She, again, came near me and this time she grabbed me with my neck and dragged me out the room in between the gathering of the other girls standing outside the room. Kathleen and Alexandra also followed her.

" All of you... Just take this slut as example. If anyone ever tried to seduce my Dan, you'll all be like her. And anyone dare to show your symphat. Do it and you'll end up like her."

She said those words while pointing at me and then she kicked me at my stomach with her full force. I cried in pain but no one came near me. Three of them then went inside the room and locked it. As for the girls outside, they were all sorry for me, watched me dying but couldn't help. Soon the crowd disperse. I can't even move. I guess my previous wounds are still in bad condition. I, slowly, tried to take my cell phone out of the pocket of trouser.

While lying on the ground, i felt helpless. With cell phone in my hand, i tried to open my contact list. To whom should i ask for help? Ahhh... I don't know anyone in this school except Carrie. Should i call her? Carrie left her phone number with me before leaving in the evening. Should i call her? Wouldn't it be bothersome for her to come here? And we just become friends today. Eventually, i called her. After three rings, she finally picked up.

" Hi! Whooo is it?"

She asked. I guessed she was sleeping. Oh... I disturbed her. I shouldn't have called her.

" Hi Carrie. Its me Sara. Sorry for calling you at this late hour. Talk to you later."

I tried my best not to let her guess i am in pain. I was going to hang up but she immediately asked:

" Sara! Are you alright? You don't sound fine."

Oh Gosh... She guessed it. As i already disturbed her sleep, i didn't want to bother her more.

" Yeah... I'm perfectly alright. Don't worry."

I tried to lie but i guess, i am very bad at lying.

" Tell me the truth. I am not mad. I can feel pain in your voice. What happened?"

Since she already knew i was lying, i told her the truth, hesitantly.

"What the hell! They bullied you. I warned you. Ahhh.... Girl. Where are you now?"

I was in pain and she was scolding me. Wow...

" Well! I'm enjoying the weather, lying on the ground. It's pleasant here."

I tried to make her laugh but i guess she was really mad this time. I didn't want to disturb her like this or may be i wasn't sure that she'll come at this late hour.

" I'm coming. Wait for me."

She immediately said that.

" Ahhh no... No need. Don't come. I'm fine. Its gonna be midnight soon. How're you gonna come here? And security guard won't let you in perhaps."

I tried to make her calm down.

"Shut up and wait. I'm on my way."

She quickly hung up the phone. As i was in my deep thoughts, my phone rang again. Still lying on the ground, i tried to sit besides the wall. I thought it was Carrie but it showed an unknown number.

" Ahh.. hello! Who is it?"

I tried to sound firm. From the other side, a lady replied:

" Hi! Is it Sara?"

"Yeah ... It's me. Who are you?"

"It's me, your Aunt Ella. It's been a long time dear. How are you?"

Dad did tell me about her that she will call me. So, for me, it wasn't unexpected.

" I'm fine Aunt Ella. How have you been?"

I tried to act strong.

" I'm alright dear. I'm good. Just so depressed after your mother's passing. Ahhh... I'm sorry. I didn't want to bring it up. Well... Let bygones be bygones. I want to ask you how is your University going?"

She suddenly talked about mom. I was in pain. And ...

"It's fine. I'm good here."

" Then that's pretty good. I just want to tell you, don't be afraid of anything. If anything happens, just give me a call. You refuses to stay at my house. I know why you did that? I won't force you. But if you ever want to come, just tell me. Okay?"

" Thanks for your concern Aunt Ella. I'll tell you whenever i need you."

I replied, despite of this terrible pain.

" Well... I'm sorry for calling you at this late hour. I'll let you rest now. Take care dear."

With that, she hung up the phone. Why didn't i tell her about today? I should have told her that I can't live here. Let me live at her's. There is no place for me here. But i didn't want her to bear my burden. These thoughts crossed my mind as i placed my cellphone right beside me, on the floor, after she hung up. I was sitting beside the wall, hopelessly, watching the night view to grow stronger and thicker and colder through a big glass window. I could see the clouds, covering the moon on the sky and making the image dreadful. But whenever the moon comes out of those clouds, the image again becomes beautiful. Why my life have so many clouds? Can't it be as bright as moon? No, what about my sun rise? When will i see the sun rise of my life? I remembered some flash back from my drastic past while watching those clouds taking charge of the moon again.

Flash back:

" You bit*h. I told you to do chores, wash the clothes and clean the house before i come home. You ignore my word. How dare you?"

I, suddenly, got a slap on my face. With that slap, i fell on the ground.

" I did everything just clothes are left."

She came near me and kick my ass.

"You were supposed to do it before i come home, you slut."

I cried in pain.

" How can you be so cruel?"

" You bit*h... You dared to speak in front of me? Now you are that bold. Let me teach you a listen."

She grabbed me by my hair and was going to beat me up with she was interrupted

" Sister! Let me handle her for you."

She smirked.

" Here you go Richard, my brother."

By saying this, my step mom, handed me over to him. And i knew what was going to happen to me. He, immediately, took out his brown leather belt.

"No ... No, please. For God sake. Let me go."

He grabbed me from my leg as i was going backwards and dragged me to the room. And then...

He used his belt to whip me. I was actually used to it.

Present:

" What are you thinking about?"
