57-Someone who believed

Sarah pov

By now, my anxiety for Ashley was skyrocketing.

“For God’s sake, Sarah. Are you crazy or what? First, you wanted that Pashley to go away and get lost somewhere. And now you are… ju… just look at you!”

Nadia said irritably taking a sip from her glass of orange juice. Both of my friends thought that I was faking it.

“Till last night, I was concerned because I was a little afraid that Justin might blame me for her absence. But now I am genuinely worried, guys.” Shella was drumming her fingers on the table. We all just had our breakfast, and I could not eat anything except a cup of coffee.

Everything on the breakfast table was making me nauseated.

“Guys! Listen. What if… what if … someone has killed her or something.” I stated matter of factly and felt two pairs of eyes looking at me in sheer disappointment.

“No, I am serious. She used to walk back home. What if some mugger attacked her or rap*ed her and right now she is lying in that dark alley all alone and…”

“Enough!” Nadia hit her hand on the table and stood up, “I am now getting tired of your obsession with that girl, Sarah.” Her face had turned crimson and for some reason, she was fuming.

“This isn’t an obsession, Nadia.” I screamed back at the top of my lungs, “Why can’t you just take it? She might be Justin’s fake wife, but she is not home since…”

“Ha!” Nadia chuckled without humor, “You want to give us this impression that now you have grown a caring bone for that girl? Oh, yeah. Like we don’t know you.” She rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

“So… that’s it?” I asked her quietly, “You are leaving? Just like that?”

She halted in her steps without turning around, “We all have been there for you. Always. Now it’s your turn to realize that this world doesn’t revolve around you.” She said softly and started walking away. I could still hear the clicking of her heels when I turned to Shella.

“You may leave too… if you want,” I told her softly.

She came and hugged me to her, “You better spend some alone time with yourself. That Pashley is a big girl. She can take care of herself, love.”

When Shella left the room, I fell back into my chair. So, that’s it? Both of them thought that I was putting up a pretense? Well! That was not true.
