Chapter 6

I hear a faint sound of someone blaring. I walk towards where the sound is coming from and I witness Linda on the ground, whining in pain while groping both of her legs. Oh my god. I run to her and try to help her but its no use. I’m just a spirit; I can’t touch or feel her. Shit! Come on, Evan where are you! And just then Evan comes running from behind the bushes.
‘Oh my gosh, what’s wrong Linda, speak up Linda, I won’t know anything until and unless….’
Oh for god’s sake dumbass, she broke her leg. Hurry up. I interrupt in the middle of his stupid speech.
He runs toward the village with unconscious Linda in his arms. I run after them. Evan only stops when he reaches the hospital. He lies her down on one of the stretcher’s. He calls for a nurse and they take her into the operation theatre instantly. Evan looks overwhelmed and he calls his parents to come to the hospital straightaway and he hangs up.  
‘Yes, of course, Evan asks his dad to pay the medical bills but his dad has hated her since the Linda’s mom gave birth to her.’ the old man utters.
‘Dad, please, I will do anything, if you pay the medical bills. Please, I beg you, she is the only one I lo…’ his dad slaps him.
‘Don’t you dare say that. You do not love her. You can’t love her. Never ever should I hear what I heard back then.’
‘God dammit dad, can you just please the pay bills!’ Evan practically screams at his dad. Evans mom then grabs his dad’s arm, and drags him to the other side of the hall.
‘The mom basically never hated Linda. She was a religious person and believed in all miracles except his dad.’ I hear the old man but then again, his voice just disappears.
Evan ruffles through his hair and walks up and down the hallway. Tears started welling up in his eyes and each drop of tear was heavy with pain and fear.
The right side of my brain is gluing the bricks of the story together but the left side is just blurry with minute episodes of my past.
I sit down on one of the benches beside Evan and lean my head backwards… I know something very important but I just can’t put my finger on it. It just doesn’t ring a bell at all. As soon as I shut my eyelids, the surgeon walks out of the operation theatre and Evan runs up to him.
‘Doctor, Is Linda ok?’                                                                                              
‘I’m afraid she won’t be able to use her legs anymore. Her right leg is damaged severely and her left leg is slightly better. She broke both of her legs and she may not be able to walk for the rest of her life.’

Chapter 7 The doctor leaves Evan numb and shocked. He falls down on his knees and cries for hours and hours. Regaining his courage, he stands up and walks into Linda’s room. ‘Hey’ ‘Hey’ Linda offers a smile and Evan smiles back ‘We have to talk Linda. I was just messing around with you. I and my friends planned on pranking you.’ ‘Ok…’ Linda lightly laughs while twiddling her fingers recklessly. ‘What do you mean?’ ‘All this I love you, you love me, we love the whole world nonsense   was fake. Everyone hates you and besides, why would I even like a girl who can’t walk anymore for the rest of her life. So let’s end it here. I laughed, my friends laughed. We are happy. No one cares about you. Who did? Your parents suffered because you came to this world with your stupid powers, they were kicked out of the village because of you. Everyone hated them because of you, why would anyone like you after what you did. You shouldn’t have come to this world. I never should have met...

It all started with a beautiful morning. The sun shinning brightly through the muffled clouds; the orange trees laced with sunlight, the birds chirping a humble tone, the air heavy but gentle at the same time and the wind politely crashed onto my face like a wave out of the ocean.   It was a Friday and my 970th day at the foster home.   Why I was there is probably what you’re thinking, right? Or why am I using past tense? Am I dead? Or am I about to die? Or did I write this manuscript and then I died? Or am I still alive? You will sooner or later find out. Either one. So the foster home was it? Well I was not like all the others. I was kind of unique, or different or exceptional or special or anything else which you think is the opposite of normal. Stuttering is a speaking disorder which isn’t a big deal for some people but for me it was. You see, my family abandoned me when I was five when they found out about the stuttering.   It was a wintry and cold and humid...

Chapter 4 ‘I’ll get married. Yes! Oh god, I should start preparing for my marriage, cook the food, the decorations, my dress, oh my there is so much to do.’ Suddenly she trips and falls down. ‘I forgot the most important thing. I have to find the man of my dreams first shouldn’t i? Oh god, who will marry a piece of trash like me?’ Linda murmurs as she stands up and brushes away the dust on her clothes. ‘I will’ a boy walked up to her. His hands crossed at the back of his hips. She stopped dead in her tracks. She turns around slowly and covers her hands on her face, closing her eyes. ‘Please don’t kill! Please! Ill give you my house, and my clothes, and my food and…’ the boy walks up to her laughing and taps on her head. ‘Hey, I’m here to be friends, not kill you’ Linda’s jaw drops and she stares at him as if he just slapped her. ‘My friend?’ ‘Yup, your friend.’ Linda screams as she just discovered a cockroach on her hand. And in the spur of the moment, she grabs the boy’s hand and...
