What if, all your life was a lie and you are just living in it thinking it was the only truth you can believe in, live in, forced in!
These thoughts were common for the dark-skinned, long-haired girl who was sitting in a corner of a warm and cozy cafe looking at people rushing in and out with their morning coffee. The feel of the cafe from outside is different. It was a chilly, winter morning but it doesn't stop people to have fun, some were shopping while some were just taking a stroll in the city and some just laughing and talking with their friends making a memory of their own. As she saw them having fun, she becomes envious remembering her college days, how she used to do all those things.
A tingling of the cafe bell along with the chortling of her best friend took her out of her thoughts. As soon as she made eye contact with the grey-eyed man she comes to loathe, she rolled her eyes. She can never imagine what her best friend finds in that man. “Why do you always bring this man with you,” said Marwa directing her question to the blue-haired giggling girl. “Dude! Don't talk like I'm not even here”, said Draco. “ Why do you always behave this way with him mar', asked Sophia watching her boyfriend going to the restroom. ”What other choice do I have, Soph. I'm telling you he's no good news girl" “You and your assumptions”, said Sophia while rolling her eyes. “I should go Soph before he pisses me off more, I have a flight to attend." ‘’Again?" “Yeah but I'll be back in 2 weeks this time, its a very important project we've been working on”. “Okay, but do take care and call me when you land.”
The deal went great, everything is going perfectly for Marwa, she just can't wait to go and tell her best friend. Marwa and Sophia were childhood friends, joined at the hip, most people would say. One can never see them without the other. Marwa loved and supported everything her best friend does. But can you say the same about Sophia?
After landing, she reached their shared apartment, excited to tell her best friend how well her project went. “Soph, you need to hear this. The project I've been working on these past few years, I got it, Soph. Soph?” “Guess she's not home, again.” As she waited for her, she did her routine and was about to make dinner for both of them, she heard her phone ringing. “Soph, god where are you? it's almost 9.” “Can y-you h-help m-me, Mar?”, cried Sophia. “Oh my God, where are you, Soph, I'm coming. Don't worry, I'll be there in a minute.” She went out, started the car, and went to the address Sophia gave her. Just as she reached the given address, she double-checked to see if she is at the right place and she is. What the actual hell is she doing here, which mess did you get yourself into this time, Soph? thought her best friend.
As she steps forward, she saw the area carefully. There a house with the lights on, covered with vines and smelling like wine, smoke, and blood? What the hell? Upon entering, she lets out a shocked gasp as she saw the grey-eyed man covered with blood with a knife in his heart and staring at her lifelessly. “Soph, Where are you?!”, she started shouting crazily. “This ain't time for a joke, Sophia!” “Oh, finally you're here”, asked her friend while crazily laughing with a maniacal glint in her eyes. “I've been waiting for this day when you're on your knees, with a fear in your eyes and begging me to spare your useless life”. “Why are you doing this?” “Well, let's say you always bothered me with your goody-two-shoes attitude, and I always hated how you always get everything and I have to work hard for it” “S-Sophia d-don't d-do this p-please." A laughter was heard and she felt her world crumbling down in front of her eyes as her best friend shot her. A friend she loves more than anything, a sister who was always there for her, gone now.
A little tale of how jealousy ruins everything!
