Thank you for all the support.

The only sad chapter in this entire story.

28 August, 2015

Zelmirah

" No freaking way." I exclaim as Dad parks in the empty spot right next to them.

I remove the oxfords I was wearing quickly before exiting the car and rush towards them.

They open their arms as if expecting a hug from me. Yeah, right. After the stunt they pulled back in Rome, they had another thing coming their way.

I raise both the shoes and smile in satisfaction as the smirks are wiped off their faces. They back up giving me nervous smiles as I move towards them.

I am completely aware of the stares we were getting and I think someone even took out their phone.

They share panicked looks as they realize I am not giving up and break off into a run. I do the same and aim the shoes at their respective heads and throw it once I think I have a clear shot.

I smirk as both the shoes hit right on spot and both of them scream in surprise. A bunch of people laugh while some even clap so I bow down in courtesy and give the two idiots in-your-face-bitches look.

I turn to walk around and I notice that we were at the other end of the airport. Damn we made quite a show.

So why all the shoe throwing? I thought 2O and above people will be mature but these two had proven me wrong the moment I had met them. That I had grown used to . But they never fail to shock me. Both of them eavesdropped on my conversation with Professor Cohen in which he had specifically stated that I was the only one allowed a vacation. To say they weren't happy would be an understatement. And to express their anger and protest against the unfair treatment, their words not mine, they decided to switch all the stuff from my suitcase with their fuckinh undergarments . Imagine my surprise when I opened the suitcase to take out the dress I had bought for Willow and my parents were right beside me. It was utterly horrifying and embarrassing.

" Yo Favourite Girl! " an arm snakes around my neck all of a sudden and I jump a foot or two in air. I turn around wide eyed to come face with the blue eyed bastard. Oh! I completely forgot about these two.

" You twat. You scared the shit out of me." I punch him in the shoulder, glaring at him.

He gives me a cheeky smile , "That's exactly what I was aiming to do ."
His other half comes out of now where and again I am left jumping around.

I glare at both of them and start walking and soon they follow , both of them putting their arms around my neck.

" Good aim you got." The green eyed idiot states.

Their muscled up arms around my neck were weighing me down.

"I can punch good too. Wanna try? " I state calmly while both of them chuckle nervously.

" We are sorry."

" You should be."

" We are idiots."
"Talk about yourself. I am not an idiot."
"Man she is already angry. Go along."
"Right. We both are idiots."

They continue bickering and whispering to each other as if I couldn't hear them.

I ignore them and soon we reach my parents and Willow . They greet my parents while I glare at them.

" Oh come on Zel , you have to admit it was funny. Forgive them,they are your best friends."
Dad states nudging me in the shoulder . Even Willow orders me to forgive them . Key word - order, I feel proud, I taught her well.

I sigh and a small smile makes way on my face and I hug them both.

Meet Brian Thomas Wright and Asher John Davies , both of them were 23 in their last year of their university degree and my best friend's as well . Well my only bestfriends .

How did I meet these two ? Brian, I have known him since I was a 5 and he was 9 . He lived in the town and would come to the woods to walk his little dog, Bruno. So we became forest buddies , we used to call ourselves that. I was an only child so it was fun having him around and he was the brother I never had. Cherry on the top, we are in the same university and studying same subject that was archaeology , he was just a year ahead me.
Asher was in the same class as Brian and they were joint at the hip. So they accepted me as one of their own and we became the trio that will save the world.

Just kidding, we became best friends.

" Let's go." Dad states as he picks up Willow placing her on his back. Mom locks the car while Asher picks up their luggage.

Everyone starts walking so I just shrug and begin walking as well.

. I can do it, I think. I mean we had to walk miles at the digs and sites sometimes.

10 minutes later

" Stop. I said stop you idiots. I am so not walking anymore. My legs are killing me." I groan as I huff in pain, it feels like I have no legs.

I swear Mom and Dad were freaking cheetahs in the past life, I can't even see where they were. They were that fast.

Brian and Ash refuse to listen to me while I slowly follow them. We were running the first two minutes, then I slowed down to a jog, they were still running. Then after 5 minutes I started walking and they slowed down their pace a little. After 8 minutes I was just dragging my feet and now after a 10 minutes of complete torture i was on the verge of crawling on the footpath.

" You are such a lazy ass, Zel. " Brian states as he looks down at me with arms crossed and an amused expression.

I was sitting on the footpath as I refused to move any further, there was no way I could run any further.

Ash nods in agreement, " It's only been 10 minutes and you are already acting like a corpse. "

" I can walk no more." I say, we were literally making a show on the sidewalk, and I heard a few chuckles from a group of girls who had come out of their cars.

" So, we can wait until this road clears away or we can just walk a little further to where the traffic is no more. "

" Or you could always carry me a little further to where the traffic is no more." I say innocently.

Ash smiles and picks up my luggage and I hop on Brian's back. I look up muttering a silent thanks to whoever was up there for giving me best friends like these two.

" You guys are the best." I say as we start moving.

I was very thin, and Brian was all muscled up so I didn't really feel bad for having him to carry me all the way. And moreover he was used to this, I could think of a hundred times he had given me a ride on his back, even when we were kids. Let me tell you this is the biggest perk of having a best friend who worked out really hard. You always got piggy back rides.

We finally reach the O2 arena, Oh! So that's where the concert is. I look around and there are so many people, girls and boys and kids, with big smiles on their faces , carrying posters and their stuff and all .

We walk a bit more and I see a huge poster of 5 boys, a curly haired one who had a really cute smile - then there was this blonde one who was standing on one leg or what - a guy with that sassy cheeky face - a muscled up guy and -

" Hey, Hey I didn't see the last one." I huff in annoyance as Brian throws me in the taxi I didn't knew was there with my parents already in there.

They were hot. I think as the car starts moving and we give the driver the destination.

" What was their name , anyways? " I ask Ash who was sitting beside me.

" One direction. "
" 1D " They both say at the same time and I nod, 1D must be the acronym.

" They were 5 guys in the poster right." Ash asks and I nod .

" So shouldn't they be 5D , I mean 5 guys so... " Ash says and Brian face palms while I throw the little plastic water bottle lying close to me on his face.

" Shut up. You are such an idiot sometimes Ash." I say but smile nonetheless while my parents playfully glare at Ash as Willow asks what a 5D was.

The ride to the mall was filled with laughter and stories these two had to share.

____________________________________

We had spent the entire day goofing around in London and then we went to the mall .

It was almost 10 in the night now and we had just exited the pizza place we had decided to eat at. Ash and Brian were still inside doing God knows what.

Willow was still awake. I think this was the result of the candy she had eaten all day.

There was a a boy with balloons on the other road, seeing which Willow breaks free from Mom's grip and starts walking towards her. Mom and Dad rush towards her as she was crossing the road all alone .

I smile as I hear her explain which one she was getting when all of a sudden a car comes rushing towards them.

" Watch out Mom." I scream but before they could register what was happening the car hits them.
Slow motion. I see it all before my eyes as if someone hit the slow motion button.

The black car hitting them. It ran over them. I heard the sickening cracks and the pained cries.

Willow. She went flying in the air, her blonde hair all around and crashed on the road , a loud thud resonating in the quiet of the night. People let out gasps and screams as they run towards them.

I run too in a trance. People are covering their eyes, they can't stomach the horrible sight in front of them.

Not a single tear falls as I kneel down beside them. I couldn't even recognize their faces. They were crushed, blood and bones that's all I could see.

Willow. She had fallen at a distance from my parents. I move towards her pushing past people.

Her blonde hair were red. And her white sundress was all red too. It was her favorite. She would have a fit seeing it like this.

I take her small hand in mine while I hear the sirens.

I just stare at her face, my sun had dimmed as if sucked by a black hole. No longer bright and warm . It was cold and lifeless.

I ... I was just.... I was just numb.

So thoughts and thoughts?
