Twisted Foot

After filling up my stomach fully,my mind was back at where it was Left behind .So again my head was filled with unerasable memory of Daniel Anderson that was stuck deeply somewhere in my head. Jenny was glaring at me ,she was trying to judge my facial expressions again,I didn't stop her as she could tell me more about those hot gossips after judging ,so I wouldn't have to ask much to her .

Louis had put on his ear plugs to save himself from side noises(chattering of students nonstop ,those gossips started from Emmie's friend Catherine and now was almost spread to whole canteen even it might have spread with in whole college),he never had showed his interests in any gossip ,he mostly preferred to keep silent ,which I liked about him,that made him different or I say unique from others,but whenever I talked about something with him ,he tried to show his full interest in it , never judged me about something .For him ,I was almost right in every aspect maybe,but whenever I asked him about his family,or why was he not living with his family ,he became cold to me .He never liked to discuss about his family or I make it more clear about his adoptive family .So I never forced him,I waited for him to tell me himself about his pain or even happiness.

I stood up to fill up my water bottle as it was emptied by Jenny and Louis and I hadn't even drank a sip from it .there was a water cooler on which a half broken wooden tag was hanging and there DRINKING WATER was written with black bold permanent marker to highlight it. I was particular that the water was not filtered by aqua guard or something ,might be just stored tank water .I hoped that it might be from aqua guard .I drank because I was way too thirsty to wait for some filtered water .First sip ,when felt my tongue taste buds,my thirst increased and I drank more than five times and then realised that it was drinking water ,so good that they filtered it by aqua side. Then I thought ,might I had wished or hoped for something else .I refilled it and back to where I was sitting .Louis was still listening something maybe his favorite song Locked Away by Adam Levine . Jenny was silently without getting caught staring Emmie and Catherine .

I could see that Emmie was done ordering sweets and now was heading outside . After her almost every girl was there expect me and Jenny . They were all full of excitement to had one look of Daniel. I wanted to be there too but I didn't want to die in embarrassment after that so I preferred to sit here calmly which was much better that crushed by the crowd. Some of Emmie's friend prepared posters written love quotes on it. They were all standing beside Emmie and Catherine. I was like what the hell was going on!!

The bell rang

So now Louis and I had another class which was maybe computer class. I rechecked it to make sure . we stood up ,I thanked Jenny and told her to meet after an hour the same place . Louis bought a coke again to drink it during the class. Canteen was almost empty after Emmie was gone . Louis asked mike (one of the senior) for the direction as we were new to this place .

"Turn left from first corridor and then walk straight" we thanked him .he was in his basket ball T shirt,looking too fit I meant as a sports person. Everyone was shouting ,chattering ,gossiping about Daniel on the way to Computer lab but only we both were silent . He was again listening something.

Suddenly someone pushed me from the crowd on the way and I almost twisted my leg . But still I was lucky that Louis was before me so I grabbed his hoodie from back otherwise I was lying flat on the floor . Louis gave me a hand and helped me to sit on a big stone in the garden . We were before the entrance gate as that was in between the way to Computer lab . He looked worried as he was checking my foot injury . It was swollen and pained too much , I couldn't able to stand properly so again he helped me to walk with my left leg ,as right one was injured .

"Hey ,let me give you a piggy back" He looked furious as I was in a lot pain . He could see through me easily. But I denied as we were in the middle of crowd and were in the college . so he pulled me up from the side , so my half weight was on Louis . That's how we tip tapped to medical room .Pungent smell was coming from disinfectant and many posters were stuck on the white walls with two beds inside the room and a broken old almirah where I could see a big plastic box with all the necessary things for giving first aid . outside the room ,on the door Medical room was written with white paint on chocolaty painted door.

Louis opened the almirah lock with one hit and from there he took a bandage for inside pain ,a voliny spray (probably used in sprains or inside pain but there should be no cut,not used on cuts)

He came back near the bed on which I was resting ,he touched my foot to know where my injuries were exactly . I directed him the place and he sprayed the voliny and then bandaged it and gave me a painkiller.

After that he told me to rest here

"You rest here and don't make any movement or it will get more injured" He was looking very concerned about my leg.

"I'll bring something for you and tell Kevin that we are not attending the computer class."

I grabbed Louis hand to convince that you didn't have to leave that class for me . As he was excited for computer class, he was too interested in programming and C++ language (computer language) .

"Louis you don't have to miss the class for just a minimal injury...just go and enjoy your first programming class"

I released his hand from my grip .

"No I'm going to stay here with you till you feel better" He insisted

"No Louis ,you have to go ..for me ...I mean so I get good notes "

I knew that after that he would probably agree. So I patiently waited for his reply . for thinking few minutes he mumbled

"Okay... But take care of yourself .. Don't try to put your leg off bed" he strictly instructed me , not to put down leg on floor for at least an hour or two and rubbed my head gently . I felt great after that .

He left for computer lab . Medical room was close to canteen but still far . I closed my eyes to rest a bit,suddenly so much noise ,people were shouting but what??! I couldn't hear it clearly but I wasn't in a condition to get up and see. So I preferred to keep on what I was doing its the best for more today. I was sleeping soundly there as the bed was good and comfortable with a white soft pillow . Suddenly a strong breeze struck on the side window ,by which I woke up from a sound sleep . I saw the wall clock and it was now almost six ,daytime was almost over and a strong wind was flowing outside ,white curtain on the door was blowing too fast .I pulled blanket up as it was becoming cold because of the strong wind .doors were striking in a motion with side walls,which sounded terrible to my ears and making my head ache . I pulled blanket over my head and tried to close my ears with pillow .Suddenly again something so badly struck on the window , I gathered all my courage and pushed my blanket back a little to see .

"Aaaaaaa" I shouted loudly as there was a person who had fangs was swiftly striking on the window which was making a horrible sound. I was frightened. His face was pale white and had red eye balls . I pulled my blanket up again to not to see that horrifying creature again . My tears were non stop flowing below the blanket ,I was shivering , I wanted to call for help but my voice was stuck in my throat ,I tried so hard to call but couldn't make it . Sounds grew rougher and harsher and more louder than before ,echoing in my head . Suddenly everything became silent . Someone was calling my name ..."Sera...Sera ...Sera wake up ...wake up "

I tried to recognize that voice ,it was of Louis but why was he calling me . Suddenly a shook as if someone was shaking me ...and I woke up..

Before me Louis was standing and who was trying to wake me up .I turned to see wall clock and it was exactly 6'o clock. I was shivering because of that terrifying dream .He was looking at me gently and was worried that why was I shivering and looked frightened. He touched my forehead to take my temperature and I was burning in fever .

"Hey you're burning" he looked more worried now . He covered me with the blanket and patted on my back to make me calm . He turned and searching up and down for fever medicine in first aid box . He looked furious and nervous on the other hand .

"I shouldn't have left you alone here" He exclaimed. he was feeling guilty ,I could see that by looking at his expression. finally he found Aspirin (fever medicine), He took it out ,unwrap it and gave me . Then he poured some water from his bottle in the glass that was left on the side table beside bed . I drank medicine .

"Calm down Louis ,I'm all right now." I looked into his eyes. He looked still worried. So I pressed my hand into his hand and said

"Don't worry ,I'll be all right...and its not your fault" I smiled to convince him fully . He gave me a little but convincing smile. I'm blessed to have him as my friend . He sat near me.

"Hey ...how was the first class?" I looked at him curiously

"Mmmm good" He said in a low tone

"Only good or more than that. So who was our computer teacher ?" I looked brightly in his eyes.

"Mr. Paul" he closed his hands in criss cross and leaned on chair's back.

"Ohh...that bald headed " I laughed

"so how was he??" I smiled and adjusted my pillow to sit. He helped me.

"He was good ,taught well"

"So what topic today "

"Basics ..C language "

"Ohh that's great .. So I haven't missed much."

"Hmmmm " he murmured looking down on the floor .

I turned towards the clock again , 6:30 . it was the time to head home . I tried to get up . he was still sitting on chair .

"He let's go " he helped me when he noticed me getting up.

"Wait here .." He insisted and then stoop up and went near the door and then pulled a wheel chair from outside . I didn't have any idea that where had he brought that wheel chair ,but it was good as I was not able to stand up straight . My head was aching a lot and I was feeling dizzy because of high fever . So it was better for me to calmly sit on the wheel chair.

"Thank you " I softly mumbled with a smile . He smiled back and put me on the wheel chair and then turned it and we were now outside that medical room . I turned back to see the window ,I was shocked to see a hand printed on it as if someone was striking on it ,I was totally confused and my mind was not working at all. I thought it was my hallucination because of high fever . I closed my eyes and leave everything on Louis . He took my bag pack on his other shoulder with his own bag and pushed the wheel chair to move forward . I could hear that people were chattering behind my back about me and Louis ,Louis put his ear phones in my ear ,so I was not be disturbed by their comments .But I could still hear them ,so I thought to ignore them . I suddenly heard Peter's voice who was calling me . I opened my eyes to see.

"Hey Sera ,are you OK???" He looked worried too. He patted on my head and checked my temperature .

I was still burning but less than before . Louis pulled his hand back and looked at him angrily . He looked protective towards me .

"Peter don't disturb her" he looked fiercely in his eyes . then he looked at me .

"Sera close your eyes and have rest . I'll carry you out to my car" he insisted

"Louis at least tell me how did this happen??"

"I'll explain everything but later" He was politer than before.

"Lets. Head to my car. It was parked near the entrance gate"

"Okay " Peter nodded and took our bags .

I was on the front corridor passage ,on the way to here ,I heard many gossips about Emmie and Daniel . Daniel didn't came today and even none of his brothers showed up.

They went for a one day trip to their personal hotel on French Riviera. (The French Riviera (or Côte d'Azur) is the Mediterranean coast of southeastern France. It includes famously glamorous beach resorts such as Saint-Tropez and Cannes, and the independent microstate of Monaco. A health retreat in the 18th century, the area later attracted aristocrats, artists and the 1960s "jet set." Today it's an established holiday destination, with paths connecting many coastal villages and towns.)

I have had visited once with Louis and Peter. It was a nice public place . I hadn't seen his brothers, may be they too looked like him . I just knew that they were three brothers ,Daniel was the eldest one ,George was the middle one and Nick was the youngest one . I hadn't able to meet Jenny otherwise I got to hear something new and interesting . I felt that someone was calling my name constantly . A deep hoarse voice , a voice of an old man calling me for help. I thought that I'm going to be crazy by these voices,so I raised the volume button .

"Sera....careful" Louis gently hold my hands so I could get into the car back seat . He gave his car key to Peter to drive . He sat with me on the back seat and put his jacket on me . The car started , I turned around to look outside the window , I was shocked again to see that man or demon again . So I turned around to Louis side ,then back to straight . I leaned on the back and closed my eyes . Didn't knew when ,I was slept ,Louis and Peter didn't disturb me . I didn't knew who put me on my small,comfy bed on which a blue butterfly printed bed sheet was covered . I like the blue colour ,for me its a colour which I dedicated to anyone' freedom ,the open sky colour which is also blue in which thousands of birds enjoyed their freedom . so mostly everything in my room was blue . I didn't like black colour that much as it resembles to darkness , being caged around.

Next morning was bright and lovely , a ray of dazzling light was coming through my window which brightened my whole small room . I could hear the chirping of birds , the air which was filled with healing power was tickling all over my body . My fever was all gone . I stretched my hands before watching outside from the window .

I could hear the voices of Louis and my mother from downstairs . He was helping my mother in deliveries as she delivered handmade cookies and bread in the early morning and Louis always came and helped her without disturbing me . I brushed ,splash water on my face to relax my eyes then bathed . I wore a white T shirt something was printed on it and black jeans and put on a dark blue hoodie on it , combed my hair and put it on the one side of shoulder . After that I went downstairs , Louis waved a smile towards me ,he was carrying a box in which cookies were filled .

"Going for deliveries ..huh??" I asked

"No... Just giving your mother a hand " He said with a smiley face.

"Ohh...but where is she " I looked here and there to find Olivia but she was not downstairs a big hall downstairs A torn sofa before an old television and on the left side inside there was a big but not so big kitchen .Olivia loved cooking for us and even for town people . When she invented a new recipe she would give free everyone in her club and even the first delivery was free for her customers.

"Ohh ,your mom just went outside to check something in the truck" He exclaimed and then he too headed outside to load this box on the truck . I came forward to help him but he denied .

"You take rest as you're still not fully recovered " he instructed .

"Eat something and then we will go college together in my car "

"Peter was also coming with us ???" I asked ,he turned and nodded twice.

"Okay " I was always happy whenever I was with my friends .

I thought to change the cover on sofa ,I opened the side almirah and took out a spare well washed cover a bit old but still better than this one . I changed it and went upstairs to bring my bag and cellphone. I saw from window that he was helping Olivia to load some other boxes .Olivia sat inside the truck and waved her hand outside to say bye to Louis . Suddenly my phone ringed ,I had selected Locked away as my ringtone . Jenny's call ,I picked it up.

"Hello Sera "

"Hmmmm"

"How are you feeling now ...are you coming today ???"

"Ohh yes and I'm all okay now "

"That's great then "

"Anything interesting that you want to share with "

I headed downstairs while listening

"Today they were going to come for sure Sera "

"They?? Ohh Daniel and his brothers " I became excited ,at least seeing your crush from afar feels good . I saw Louis was drinking water directly from bottle and splashed some water on his face . He saw me watching ,he smiled . I said bye to jenny and hung up.

"Let's head to college " I said

"Oh..okay" he brushed his wet hairs with his fingers and then took out the car key from his left jeans pocket . He wore a grey t shirt and a black jeans and then put on his jacket . I took out the key and the lock from the side drawer .He and I switched off the lights and headed outside . I locked the main door as granny was also not at home . She went to meet Claudio , her friend and a club member of Union . I gave the key to Uncle John and messaged Olivia to take it from him , we sat in the car and picked Peter on the way to college.
