Short Story

By waqar jameelPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

I turned into an entertainers dream. I could vanish. Gone. I discovered solace feeling imperceptible to the rest of the world. Possibly some place, somebody pondered where I was. Or on the other hand possibly somebody was searching for me. Or on the other hand needed to save me. I was unable to save myself, that is without a doubt. I didn't have a clue who I was any longer, nor did I notice that I was gradually murdering my spirit and making my's father extremely upset. There was consistently somebody that could help my getaway. With a snap of my fingers or an instant message, I was so far gone that nobody could get me. I was relentless. Crazy; out of my body. I was a renewed individual murdering all that survived from my soul.

Passing out was such a consolation. Recovering it was not close to as fun. My hefty head is being shaken by hands. They certainly aren't mine. My mouth feels open. The primary thing my depleted eyes find is his stressed face. His earthy colored eyes seem as though they will fly off and roll onto the restroom floor close to my spread out body. He's shouting at me. He's not irate, but rather all he continues to rehash is my sad name, I don't need any of this. I shut my substantial eye-tops. I need anything besides this. I need another departure. I need a do-over. I need this game to end. I couldn't care less on the off chance that I win any longer. Being cognizant is a lot of work.

My delicate body lay drooped against the yellow divider. His hands are pushing more enthusiastically on my cheeks. Is it accurate to say that he is attempting to save me? I would prefer not to pass on this way, yet I surmise this in a real sense isn't in my grasp any longer. My virus fingers are suctioned to the flooring. This floor will be the last thing I hold. I wish this wasn't it.

"Open your screwing eyes, Marissa. Take a gander at me." His voice was so convincing. I'm as yet alive. I take a gander at my guardian angel in a red hoodie. "Continue to inhale," he said, "in through your nose and out through your mouth."

"You need to do this. Pay attention to me, hell."

I figure out how to lift my skull and lean it back on the yellow divider. My mouth is murmuring. My tongue feels too enormous. It's obstructing my voice. I need to advise him sorry; outrageously heartbroken. Be that as it may, those words can't fit around this monstrous thing in my mouth. I need to keep my eyes open and relax. This is excessively. I can't. My forthcoming destruction is everything I can zero in on. Why make a decent attempt to remain alive in the event that I am simply going to kick the bucket?

I'm suffocating. The water is so cold on my chest. Presently it's covering my face. I awaken once more. I'm as yet here on the washroom floor in Weymouth, Massachusetts. It's a similar spot we did knocks of coke at so often previously. We utilized his Visa Check card and afterward chain-smoke Newport's. I would sit on the sink high as fuck, however now it's so extraordinary. I needed to be alive then, at that point, yet now demise seems like heaven.

He utilizes a similar towel we generally tucked under the way to clear off my dribbling face. I'm furious at this point. My cosmetics should be spread and my hair is drenched. I'm so appalling. I would prefer not to bite the dust revolting.

My thumbs are no more. They aren't moving. Regardless of how diligently I attempt. My body isn't mine. Another person has the controller. I can't move my appendages or recall how to relax. This should be the manner by which it feels to be incapacitated. "I can't," I whine.

I watch him toss minimal plastic baggies in the latrine. The home phone is in his left hand and he's holding it up high. "On the off chance that you pass out once more, I'm getting an emergency vehicle. Screwing inhale, Marissa."

Wouldn't he be able to simply leave me alone? Wouldn't he be able to allow me to pass on in harmony? The latrine flushes as my eyes shut....
