WE BOTH DIED AT THE END
CHAPTER 3 (TROUBLE WITHIN)
We saw Suzan’s roommate on the bed but she was covered with a lot of blood.
We didn’t even know when we began to shout. Some guys and girls ran into the room and it was then we realized that her body was having just one breast (the left breast), one eye (the left eye).
“Who did this kind of thing?”
“Do you know who she was with?”
A lot of questions were thrown at Suzan but she couldn’t even say a word. Suzan was crying profusely. She suddenly fell on the floor and while people were trying to calm her down, she wouldn’t agree and then what she said to me a while ago flashed back in my mind.
“My roommate may be crazy and may love material things and money but apart from that she is the kind of person you would like to have as a friend. I love her so much”
It was then I realized how she may be feeling towards what we’ve just saw.
I went to her and then I was able to take her to my room while the SUG president was called upon and then the authorities took the matter to hand.
“Suzan, both of us know that it was the guy we saw with her that did that rubbish (Suzan nodded her head) but do you know the guy?”
Suzan tried to control herself before speaking.
“I don’t know the guy”
“How?”
“She comes with different type of guys to the room. I’ve never seen her with one guy twice”
“Wow! That is really a thing”
Suzan slept in my room that day after I was able to talk to my roommate and then we went together to her room after lectures.
Everywhere was cleared.
“Her parents came and went away with her body and her things” one of the girls living close by said to Suzan and then fresh tears ran down Suzan’s cheeks while I held her hand to reassure her that it shall be well.
I couldn’t go back to my room that day as I tried to cook for both of us and then see to it that she calms down and not do anything stupid.
At night, in between time, she wakes up with screams and then when I asked her what was wrong, she kept saying the image of her friend with one breast and one eye out kept coming to her and it makes her scared.
It became obvious that Suzan can no longer sleep in that room alone anymore due to the fact that what happened was really terrible and so I sat and thought of a way out.
“Suzy?”
She looked at me.
“How about I pack my things and come stay with you or I will talk to my roommate so that she can switch rooms with you and then we stay together at my room”
“Why?”
“It is obvious that the memories in this room is becoming too much for you to handle and I don’t want that to continue happening”
“Are you sure it’s a good idea?”
“Definitely it is babe. So which one will you prefer?”
“Can I think about it?”
“Yes, you can baby”
“Alright, let me step out for a while. I will be back dear”
“Alright”
I stepped out of the room and stood for a time outside trying to decide whether to let her be by herself or not and then I left.
I went to sit under a big oak tree close to the biggest hall in the school, thinking about what had happened and then I felt a presence around me, behold it was a guy.
“What’s up dear?”
I didn’t answer.
“I’ve been observing you since you stepped into this school and …”
“Please, I use God beg you do not disturb my peace”
The boy was quiet and then I got up and left. While I was walking, a girl walked up to me. She introduced herself as Kate and then she said
“Little by little I can see that you are entering into more danger than you should even enter”
“What do you mean?”
“Beware of sheep in wolf clothing”
She walked away while I stood pondering upon what she had said but I couldn’t understand a thing. I raised my head up but couldn’t see her any more.
