Never Again

Friends till the end

" Don't worry dear , you are not the first . Students give names of their partners but then they get into a fight and then they withdraw their names . Or a few of them have taken their names back because they don't want to stand against Jessica . The girl is a tough competitor . It is nothing new . Sign over here . The pen is on the desk . "

Emily nods her head . She picks up the pen and signs the where the coordinator asks her to . She was trying very hard to present herself as a strong girl but her heart was weeping on thinking what will happen if she fails to fulfils her mother wishes ! Even after her mother left , her memories where what kept Emily going .

" I have heard you , you will surely win the second position . " The coordinator says .

Rachel interrupts furiously " Why second ? "

" You know after Jessica . "

Rachel was going to give her a reply but Emily stops her . Isn't it strange that the girls who fear to stand for themselves are willing to fight everyone when it comes to their friend .

Rachel dropped Emily and then went to her house .

.

Emily walks in her house . When you are upset what helps you the most ? Food . Tasty food is the key to get over hard breakups .

She makes herself some smooth and delicious cold coffee and takes out the cupcakes and the tasty chocolate cookies . There is a good thing about breakup you can eat everything you want without worrying about the calories because you have an excuse to do so . And more over she saw in TV that when girls go through a break up they undergo food therapy . Emily had a sweet smooth . She could eat cupcakes everyday if she had no worries about the calories .

She carried the tray and was walking to her room . Oh no she spilled some coffee on the stairs no worries she could wipe it later . She was deciding which show to watch . Suddenly she felt like she heard footsteps in her room . She thought that maybe she was thinking too much but then heard a very clear sound of a breaking glass .

Oh my God someone was in her room !

Oh dear God someone was in her room ! Who could it be ? . . . . . . . Of course a thief . A Hollywood star was not going to come and wait for her in her room to surprise her . It couldn't be her dad and her step mother because they have extended their trip by a few day , it has to be a thief .

Oh my God , like a breakup was not hard enough now she had a thief to deal with . Could this day get any worse ? She slowly took her steps back . What if he is not alone ?

What if he was a gun ?

Emily wish she knew that today was going to be the last day of her life . The least she could have done was to spend her saving and buy something good for her . She thought that if the robber killed her will anyone be able to find out ?

Her dad was not there . Right now she was even missing her step mother .

" What should I do now ?

What should I do now ?

What should I do now ?

" This question was troubling . Yes she could use her phone to call Rachel and ask her to bring help . But where the hell was her phone ? Oh dear God ! her phone was in her room or maybe in a bag by now where the thief was keeping all the things that he wanted to steal .

Oh Yes a few days back her dad got a new telephone which was in the hall downstairs . She took a sigh of relief and slowly and carefully walked down the stairs . The big tray was also bothering her a lot . What if it made a sound ? She had to be extra careful .

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

" Ahhh ! " She slipped from the coffee that she fell on the stairs earlier . She heard the Indian saying that ' Better do it today than tomorrow or later ' but she had to be careless about it .

Luckily Emily didn't got hurt but the tray fell down creating the loud ' thud ' . She heard that someone banged against the door in her room . Then she heard footsteps running towards her . She didn't dare to turn back . Oh God she was surely going to die . She closed her eyes tightly . She grabbed the fork tightly in her hand . That was a bit silly considering the thief had a gun . Of course she could not defend herself with a fork against a gun .

Her heart started beating with double speed . She was breathing rapidly . She could feel that someone was standing very - very close to her . She didn't even got up from the floor . She prayed to God to save her . When the footsteps stopped . Somebody was standing right behind her .
