Chapter 38: Chapter 38

LENA’S POINT OF VIEW

I grab my key rush and walk to Maia “Babe… I gotta go” I say in dismay. “W…what! But why?” She says with a slight of grief in her voice. “Work duty” I say as I pull Maia’s neck and kiss her lips. Maia inhales deeply as her eyes are pointing at mine “Mmm… okay…” She says as she sighs. “I’ll be back… no worry” I say as I stroking Maia’s hair. Maia smile in disappointment as she staring at me. “Alright… see you soon” I kiss Maia’s forehead and leave.

I walk to the parking lot in rush and I keep calling Sasha, she didn’t answer the calls. “Jeez…” I mumble and get into the car. I drive in a rush as my left-hand keeps typing the phone and texts Sasha. “Shit…” I mumble as I hit the steering wheel. I call her once more and she’s pick up the phone. “Where are you?” I say. “In the same place with the same pain…” She says in sobbing. “Jeez… come on Sash” I say as I highly raise my voice.

Sasha suddenly hangs up the phone and I call her again… but she’s turn off the phone. “Fuck… Fuck…” I mumble as I hit the steering wheel and the palm of my hand gets hurt and rosy. I drive to Sasha’s apartment and I parked my car. I walk full speed to the apartment and I’m pounding the door. “Knock…Knock…” The door sounds. “Sash…we need to talk” I say in a high voice. “Knock… knock… knock… Sash!” I yell.

The neighbor who lives next door opens her apartment door and mad at me “Hey young lady… what time is it!” The old lady says. I walk closer to her in dismay “I’m so sorry Mam… I’m looking for my friend who lives here, do you see her?” I say in dismay. “Ahhh… I think I saw her leave this place hours ago” She says as her temper is getting less. “Thanks for the information mam, I appreciate that” I say.

I leave the apartment and walk to the parking lot, I get into the car and sit. “Jeez… where is she” I say in dismay. I call her once again and her phone is dead… I turn on the car and drive to nowhere. I keep looking at her and I remember the place that she always visits when she’s sad or depressed. I drive the car full speed and rush to Briarwood. I park the car and I run down to the Briarwood station…. I’m looking around the place and looking for Sasha.

I see Sasha with the alcoholic drink in her right hand and sit at the corner underground hallway floor. “Jeez Sash…” I mumble as I run to her. I squat next to her and staring at her “Hey… let’s go home” I say in a low voice. Sasha moves her head and staring at me in silence with tears on her cheek then she looks away. “Hey… let’s go home” I say as I reach over her hand. Sasha standing up and leave me.

I follow her and walk behind her “Sash… will you wait?” I say as I’m walking full speed behind her. Sasha turning back herself as she walks backward “Don’t ever come here if you’re gonna break my heart and embarrass me then act like you care for me” Sasha says in a high voice as she points her index finger to my face. “Jeez… I’m not breaking your heart! You did that all on your own” I say.

I reach over Sasha’s hand and try to hold her… “Don’t” She says as she keeps walking backward. “Will you stop? You’re being ridiculous” I say as my eyes point to Sasha’s. “No, you’re being ridiculous” Sasha says as she points her index finger to me as she's drunk. “You don’t even could stand on your feet… come, I’ll take you home” I say as I tried to reach over her hand. “Don’t touch me!” Sasha says as she yells at me.

I tried to pull her hand and she’s avoiding me “Jeez…” I say as I walk behind her. Sasha walks full speed and she’s accidentally thrown her phone to the railway. “Jeez Sash” I say as I highly sigh. I walk closer to the railway and looking at the phone above the railway “Oh God! This shit would not happen if you weren’t wasted” I say as I crossing my arms. Sasha scoffs as she looking at me. “We don’t always have to be like this” I say.

“You could’ve left” Sasha says as she tuts. “Really?” I say as I stare at her. “Yeah” She says. “So you could end up in a doorway somewhere?” I say as I reach over her hand. She’s avoiding me as she moving her hand to a different angle. I highly sigh and I see the old guy picking up the trash with a long iron in his hand “I’m gonna go see if I can borrow that guy’s thingie” I say in a low voice.

I get closer to the old man and I’m about to borrow his thingie… but Sasha jump down to the railway. I turn back myself and I see Sasha is already down to the railway and walk wasted in the rail. “What the hell are you doing?” The man says. “Oh my God!” The woman who sits in the corner chair screams. I run to Sasha full speed “Fuck… Sasha, get out of there” I say as I staring at her from the above of the railway.

“Pffft…” Sasha scoffs as she ‘fuck’ me with the middle finger of her. “I’m not fucking around! Come on” I say in dismay as I’m looking around the railway. Sasha walks in the railway as she keeps looking for her phone. “Sash… come on!” I say above the railway. The train horn blares and the train is about 200 meters from her… Sasha gasps “Fuck” She says as she straining to climb. I force to pull her from the railway with all of my strength. “Come on… arghhhhh… come on Sash” I say as I’m pulling her from the railway.

The man runs to us and helps me pulling Sasha out of the railway. “Oh my god…” Sasha screams as the train horn blaring closer to her. All people in the underground subway scream looking at us… “Watch out!” The old lady yells. The man and I pulling Sasha with all of the strength and Sasha finally out of the railway. “Oh shit…” I say in relief as Sasha is above me. “Are you okay?” The man says. “Yes sir, yes… we’re okay. We’re good, thank you so much” I say as myself hugging Sasha and we sit on the subway floor next to the railway.

The man leaves us and all people relieved. Sasha sobbing “I’m sorry” She says. I hug her and stroking her hair, I put my chin on her head and calm her down. “I’m sorry…” Sasha sobs. “Shhh… It’s all good. I got you” I say as I’m stroking her hair and hug her. Sasha crying in my arms, I stroked her hair and calm her down. “I got you…I got you…” I say in a low voice. Sasha sobbing in my arms… “Let’s go home” I say as I’m stroking Sasha’s hair.

I get up from the floor and pull Sasha from the subway floor “Come on…” I say in a low voice as I point my hand to her. Sasha stands up and sobs… I catch her and we walk to the parking lot. Sasha and I get into the car and we drive to Sasha’s apartment. “You don’t need to do this…” I say in a highly sigh as I’m driving the car. Sasha stares at me and sobs… “Why you act like you care for me” She says as tears came out of her eyes.

“Can we talk later?” I say as my eyes point to Sasha’s eyes and sigh. Sasha inhales deeply and leans on the car seat then we both sit in silence… we arrive at the apartment and I parked my car in the parking lot. I walk her to the apartment and hold her arm because she cannot stand on her feet and drunk. I open the apartment door and I take Sasha to the bed. I'm covering her with a blanket and stroked her hair.

I’m about to back home but Sasha pulls my hand and holds it tight… “Please… don’t go” She says with a slight of grief in her voice. I sit on the bed next to Sasha and let her hold my hand… she moves herself and rests on my arm “I love you” She says in grief. I inhale deeply as my hand is stroking Sasha’s hair “I know… but It doesn’t work that way…” I say. Sasha crying louder and louder…

“Shhh… hey… hey…Sash” I say as I’m stroking her hair and calm her down. “Please don’t leave me” She says as she staring at me with tears on her cheeks. “Okay I’ll be here… don’t worry… I’ll be here” I say in a low voice as my hand wiped Sasha’s tears. Sasha smile and she sleep in my arms as she hugs me… I keep her company and I sleep on her bed. Poor Sasha… she hurt her own self just because she loves me more than herself and I felt sorry for her.
