asked.
I saw his eyes drop down with guilt. Whatever it is, if it makes him feel guilty I didn’t want to know that.
“I’ll take care of her, I promise.” I said squeezing his hands gently.
He smiled at me though it was of full pain.


I am late today, I ran after the bus shouting to stop but none saw me running after the bus. I ran some distance and left the thought of chasing it.
“Nice start for the day and now what?” I sighed sitting on the wooden bench.
I walked up to some distance; it’s hard to find transport here because my home is in the outskirts. I hear the sound of some engine. I turned to see who it was.
“Want a lift?” the motor bike guy asked skidding to a halt beside me.
He freaked me out by appearing beside me suddenly. He took off his helmet which exposed his thick black hair, blue eyes and an intoxicating smile. I thought of his offer, I can’t probably get any other transport like for an hour and if I chose to go home. No way! I can’t live in that hell for a whole day. Seeing that I have no other option I jumped on his bike.
He smiled at me.
“What’s up, Meg?” He asked.
“How do you know my name?” I thought to ask but dropped in middle sentence, most of people in the college know me, I like making friends so it can keep me away from feeling lonely. It’s easy to guess someone would have told him.
“Everything is the way it is.” I said.
My words trembled when they are out. We are at such rapid speed and the cool air hitting me hard made it hard to speak. When we passed by the college bus I heard someone shouting my name as I turned to see I lost the sight of bus.
“Thanks for the ride.” I said trying to stand properly.
I feel giddy by the rate at which we came but truly speaking I felt like going on it again.
It seems like most of the college saw me and the biker coming to college together.
At lunch I waited for Julia and Emma to show up they had different classes today. I saw Julia practically running towards me and Emma at her tail.
“Is this true?” she asked.
“What?”
Then suddenly I remembered about the ride and how people kept asking me about him whether he is my boyfriend? Whether we are going on date?
“I missed the bus morning and this hot dude seems to come out of nowhere offering me a ride. I had to come to college so I have no other choice than accepting his ride.” I said as a matter of fact.
“Meg, did you know that it was Ryan?”Julia said.
“Ryan? Who?”
“The hot dude who rode you to college.” She said smiling wildly.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know that.” I apologized.
I felt silly of not recognizing him and stupid to say that he is hot in front of her sister. At the same time I saw him walking into the cafeteria with a group of his friends.
“Ryan, you idiot you should have told me who you are.” I shouted at him.
“And spoil the fun?” he smirked.
“You are going to get for this.” I said rushing upon him.
“Really?” he ran into the corridor.
I ran after him. Ryan and I were very close friends since our childhood. He was more like a good friend than a big brother. He caught my hands and whispered in my ear.
“I have an image to maintain before the girls here.” He said smiling.
I nodded. He let go me and I punched him playfully.
“I don’t think you have an image at all.” I shouted back at him joining my friends.
Julia hi- fived me. Emma smiled at me.
The day soon rolled out and I dreaded to go back home again.
I fished through the fridge for something to eat when I found a letter pinned to the fridge door.
“I’m leaving home.” Just like that nothing more than that. I recognized the handwriting its mom’s. What happened to her? Why would she leave all of a sudden? Tears welled up in my eyes. Why does this all happen only to me? Why can’t I have normal parents who tuck me into bed and kiss me good night or perhaps share my sorrows other than them being a pain to me?

I sat on the ground placing my head between the knees, crying and rewinding the piece of information on the paper in my mind. I never knew how much time I spent like that.

I felt someone's arms around me. I looked up half expecting to see Mom.
Dad's eyes are filled with concern. He wrapped his hands around me.
"Honey, are you alright?"
I was so immersed in my own pathos that I didn't see the little hand trying to wipe my tears.
She was saying something like don't cry meg only it sounded dhon cy me in her small squeaky voice.
I took a quick glance at her, she is so small with tiny hands and face, her big blue eyes stared at me with so much love in it.
Dad saw me staring at her.
"Honey, this is your sister, Stacie."
"Did I hear it right? she is my sister but how's that possible?"
While I tried to question him, I put the pieces of puzzle together. Mom left because she couldn't stand that dad betrayed their relation. That's the reason why she felt without much of a goodbye.
"Dad, how could you do this to Mom?" I shouted at him and ran into my room shutting the door behind me.
I fell on my bed crying how my family at last has torn apart. I cried for Mom for being cheated and I cried for Dad who was being punished to live alone for his mistake.


I could feel someone tugging my hair gently. I brushed away the hands from my hair.
I could hear a tiny voice whispering in my ear. Suddenly I remembered everything from last night. I pulled the little thing away from me and shooed her out of my room.She is the reason why my family broke up. I heard her cry when I shut the door behind her.
I tried to calm down running the hot water over my face. I heard her crying from down.
I grabbed my backpack not wanting to face dad or that little thing. I slipped out of the home unnoticed.
I reached my bus stop and prayed for god to let the bus come quick today. At least this was answered.
I saw Julia in deep discussion with Emma. She waved at me and gestured to sit beside her. I have no problem, I didn't want to talk to anyone right now. I replayed the events from the previous day. Tears strolled down my eyes unnoticed and I wiped them away without anyone seeing them.
I payed no heed to the classes or what my friends said over the whole day.
"Jules, can I stay at your home today?" I asked not wanting to go back to the hell again.
"Why not?"
"Dad and Mom are out of town so I thought instead of being alone i could stay at home." I said trying to sound casual.
She just smiled.
"What do you want to do at night? she asked making me sit on her bed.
"Nothing in particular, may be watch a movie or two." I said.
We watched twilight series when Ryan joined us. At first Jules made so much about him being here but soon she gave up. She fell asleep in the middle of the movie. I stayed up to watch the complete movie.
"What's up?" Ryan said.
I shrugged my shoulders.
"Will you do me a favor?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Will you stop fighting with me at college, you know you are seriously damaging my reputation." he said.
"Oh! Really?" I smirked.
"Come on! Meg, you yourself admitted that I'm hot." he said.
I was stunned that Jules said it to him. I wanted to beat her for telling it to her brother but I let it rest until the next day.
"Why do you care even about your reputation?" I asked.
"What else for? hot chicks." he replied.
"As if someone would fall for you." I smirked.
"Wanna see?" he asked.
"Yeah! sure." I challenged him.
"Give me two days." he said with confidence.
"Take a week."
"What will you do if I succeed?" he asked.
"Anything."
He left me wishing me goodbye, I thought of my home and the roof where I usually sleep at this time. I drifted into sleep thinking about Mom.
In the morning Jules woke me up and we hurried to the college. Ryan seems to have left early for the college.
"Jules, why did you say that to your brother?" I asked remembering my conversation with Ryan at night.
"What did I say?"
"Forget it, I don't want to repeat it again."
As soon as she understood what I meant, she smiled at me.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say he made me." she said realizing I'm angry at her for what she did.
"What else did he speak to you, yesterday?" she asked after a while.
I said about our bet.
"Are you nuts? I'm sure he will win this one. Be ready to what he asks for." She said.
I frowned at her.
"Seriously, are you deaf these days? Don't you know how all the girls are over him? He can have anyone easily In fact our barbie doll over here is so over him." she said pointing at our college beauty Mary.
I shrugged. I was so lost in my own world that I never payed attention to anyone these days.
"I have a plan to backfire the charm of his on the girls but I need your help." I said.
"Sure anything to teach that stupid fellow." she said.
"What's the plan?"
"I'll tell you when it's time." I said.
I drowned into my thoughts again. College was a blur today.
All I thought in the college today was how I'm going to stay away from the house but I came out with no idea. If I ask Jules or Emma that I would stay at their home, they would welcome me but they would be suspicious that something is wrong. At last I decided that I should face it soon so why not today?
I took each step with dread towards my home. The
