Because It Was Meant To Be... (Chapter 3)

Kris’s P.O.V.

I woke up at around 8.45pm, when I saw there was one missed called and few messages… Leaving the messages to read later, I clicked on the notification that showed the missed call… As soon as the screen unlocked and the name was Visible, I jumped out of my Bed and shouted, “What the Fuck…! She called..? Ohh my God… Why did I sleep today man...” and I could hear my mom voice from behind the door asking, “Kris… Are u alright..?” I bit my lower lip and replied, “Yes mom.. Everything’s Fine…” and she went back to continue her work…

I dialed her number, and she picked it up just after the 1st ring, I could her a very low voice coming from the other side of the phone “Hey Kris…” and just by hearing her voice, I started jumping on my bed... I can imagine her smiling with a smirk on her face and those brown eyes of her glimmering in happiness… She didn’t say anything as if waiting for me to reply, so I stopped to catch my breath and replied, “Kate… Where are you..?” She didn't reply back, for a minute there was a dead silence on the phone line as if she was trying hard to pick up the words from the back of the throat to form a phrase…

Then she replied, “I am outside your Apartment Building…” and as soon as she paused I shouted my lungs out… “Wait..! Wait..! Wait..! You are outside my building..? Wait right there… I am coming down this instant… You dare move from there and I swear I’ll kill you…” without letting her speak I disconnected the call and ran out…

Mom shouted, “Where are you going now..? It’s already 9…” and I replied, “Mom… I’ll be back in half an hour… I promise..  I got some Important work to do…” and I left… I am not the kind of person who lets anyone rule me… Be it my parents or others… So I didn't bother to hear what she wanted to say… If I wanted to see my Best friend than no one on this planet could stop me from doing that…

I lived on the 7th Floor…so I was waiting for the lift to come up… I am not like Jane… I cannot jump and run like she does… I am too Delicate for all this workout stuffs… so being patient was the only thing I could do… A small bell sound snapped me out of my thoughts to make me aware of the fact that the lift has reached… I entered the lift and pressed the Ground Floor button and waited as the lift took me to my best friend… I could sum up all that happened it these 6 months that she needed to know… Right from my Outings to my Boyfriend Stuff but most Importantly how much I missed her…

I snapped out of my own thoughts on the bell sound which told me I reached my Destination… My Best Friend… Kate… The doors of the Lift opened and there she was… Sitting on the bench placed at the corner of the Passage area… She looked Horrible… No Kohl… Hair tied in a messy bun… Dressed up in a pair of Joggers and a plain t-shirt both in BLACK… Well, you can't blame her for wearing black.. It was Group Favourite… We all Loved it… But she Loved it the most… Something seemed off… She never left her house without Kohl… She was always a No makeup Bitch… but she slayed it all with just her Kohl… But today when I saw her sitting on that bench.. She looked Pale…

I ran towards her… just when she looked up from the ground.. and threw my arms around her neck shouting, “I Missed You Bitch… I Missed You So Much…” I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes… But I’m not the type of Girl who cries, so I tried really hard to swallow in back it… But couldn't help it and let it loose… We both cried in each others arms… I was the only one from all of her friends who knew everything about her Emotional Imbalance and how she planned to deal with it… Maybe I thought I was equally responsible for not helping her out when she needed help… I knew what she was going through, what and why she did it and how she did it… Because I am the only who knew…

Kris’s P.O.V.

“What’s wrong Kate…?”  I asked her looking at her distraught self… She looked up at me and replied, “I can’t handle this anymore Kris… I am exhausted Faking up a smile… Faking that I’m good with the Studies… I don’t understand a word what Mr. Yoan teaches in Physics… I know I’m going to fail and my parents they expect me to score above….” She stopped so i asked, “Distinction..?”

Her face fell and she continued, “Above 94%... They want me to score above freakin 94%... I can’t do this to them, to me… I need to go… Or else I might end up Killing myself…” she stopped…

I looked at her as anger filled up in me and I replied, “As if you didn’t try that earlier..? I know you Kate… I know you tried that… But it didn’t kill you… didn't it..? That's why your planning to leave… Aren’t you..?” She didn't say anything

All she said was.. “I am leaving tomorrow… I don't know when i’ll be back… I hope if ever I get back… Things are the other way around… A little less messed up… A little better than today… I hope I’ll see you back soon Kris…”

I was in Awe, she actually meant it… She really is leaving… I knew I won’t be able to stop her… If she thought of doing something she wouldn’t change her decision for anyone in this whole goddamn world… She was a women with strong decision… I did what I thought I could… I hugged her as tightly as I could and whispered in her ears, “I LOVE YOU KATE… Get your shit together.. and be back soon… You know I need you…”

She replied, “I Love You Too Kris…” and she left…
