Chapter 7
I sniffed. Every time I thought that it was enough crying for one night, my eyes swelled up with tears again. I decided to empty out all my tears on the comfort of my bed.
Taking out my phone, I called Sam.
“Hey Sam.” I said weakly.
“Hey Sky! Where are you? Me and Aisha are in the second floor. Come on over!” She said excitedly.
I shook my head. Later realizing how stupid I am, I said, “No Sam, I just called to tell you that I am taking your car home. This party is over for me.”
“What? Sky? Are you okay? You-you don’t sound fine. Is everything alright?” Sam asked.
“Yeah Sam. Everything is fine, I just- I just am not feeling too well. Is it ok with you that I’m taking your car?” I asked lowering my voice.
“Of course you can take it home. Me and Aisha will go with the boys. Take care Sky. See you tomorrow.”
“Thanks Sam” I sighed and flipped my phone shut.
With wet eyes, I put the car in ignition and rode away.
Thoughts kept swirling in my head.
Did Bruce think of me as just another normal slut who could be useful in his bed? It never seemed like that. He was always nice to me. In school, he used to greet me every time we passed each other. Lots of girls eyed me with jealousy and every single time I felt like wearing a placard around my neck saying ‘this is not what it looks like’.
I never found Bruce extremely hot or anything. To me, he was normal.
But, what if it was what it looked like but I never noticed it? What if Bruce actually tried to get me in his bed? What if I, actually would've lost my virginity to a guy who was nothing more than a friend to me?
I kept sobbing while driving down the boulevard, somehow managing to take all those familiar turns on the road leading to my house while shedding tears.
My Dad, he was the only one who could've comforted me during this time. He was always there to shoo my tears away. Even though, at times, he didn’t know why I was crying, just his arms around me would heal all the wounds.
I missed him. I missed him a lot now! I wish he could just take a car and fly down from heaven to hug me one last time! I wish I could say sorry for everything.
I was lost in my train of thoughts while my eyes were barely making out the road on which I was driving. Then, out of the blue, I saw a figure making its way across the road.
I was abruptly pushed back to my senses. Even though my eyes were blurred, they could barely make out the approaching figure. As a reflex action my foot pressed hard on the brakes causing a loud screech.
But, it was too late. My breath hitched in my throat after realizing what I had done, the car it stopped after hitting the person on the road. The road was completely empty and thankfully no one noticed this accident.
I hurriedly made my way out of the car and ran out to the front. There I saw it. It was a guy. My mouth was agape when I saw him, he was lying down unconscious with his head in a pool of blood. His mop of curly brown hair swished on the ground, and his hands were clenched into fists.
What have you done Sky?
My fingers furiously dialed 911. And moments later the ambulance arrived.

I was finally seated on those seats which are placed outside the hospital wards, after getting that guy admitted in a nearby hospital. Poor guy, I couldn't even see his face, that being the reason why I was hardly aware of the damage I had done.
I then pulled my phone and dialed Aisha’s number. I couldn’t call mom since she was out for business and won’t be able to receive international incoming calls.
After dialing Aisha’s number, I hesitated for sometime before pressing the call button because I might’ve just murdered a freaking stranger and I was going to tell about it to my best friend who might then abandon me forever!
I was going crazy and decided to put the phone back inside my pocket.
Before I was going to put the phone back, I had my finger over the call button, so at the precise moment, a sound got me startled and..
My finger tapped the damned call button.
I'm so lucky, you see. NOT.
“Hello” She said.
"..."
“Huh, Hello? It’s me, you idiot.” Aisha deadpanned. I could bet she was rolling her eyes.
“Aisha?” I said slowly.
“WHAT?! Has anyone chopped your tongue off? ”
Of course, I had to tell her about the accident. If she comes to know without me telling her, she'll crap in her pants. I am not kidding.
“Aisha… I…”
“Yes Sky?” She sounded immensely annoyed.
“Ibumpedapersonwithmymovingcarandheisinthehospitalrightnow” That’s it. I said it.
Way to go kid.
“You,WHAT? Sky, did I hear it right? You bumped a person with your moving car and he is in the hospital right now?” Aisha asked.
“Yeah Aisha. You heard it right.”
“Sky, are you effing crazy?! How the, when the, who is. Urgh Sky, where are you now?”
“In the Apeller Hospital” I answered.
“Right. I’m coming there, with Sam. You wait there, and keep praying that the person in there is okay. Bye.”
I nodded and kept the phone back in my purse.
Well, at least Aisha isn’t abandoning me forever, or is she?
I plopped down on the chairs and waited.

Time passed and I kept waiting. 1- For the doctor to come and 2- For Aisha and Sam to arrive.
I started playing with my hair while singing random songs when suddenly a voice echoed, “Excuse me, are you Scarlett Anderson?”
I looked up, surprised. It was the Doctor. I swiftly stood up.
“Yes doctor. I am Scarlett. How is…“
“Harry.”
"Um, sorry?"
“The guy whom you got admitted, we found his ID and his phone in his pocket. His name is Harry.”
I liked his name.
“Well doctor, how is he?” I asked anxiously.
“He is perfectly fine. He had a minor injury in his head. He is conscious now. You can go see him.” The doctor said. He gave me a warm smile and left.
I sighed a breath relief.
Don’t you just love people who give you good news. I was so relieved.
I excitedly started towards his ward.
“Ready or not? Here I come?!”
Urgh, there goes my phone. Thinking it was an important message from Aisha, I opened it.
I read the number, It was the same private number who had texted me earlier.
