End Of Suffering
As I descended the stairs, my gaze swept over the crowd in search of him, but he was nowhere to be found. The empty chair he had occupied only moments ago served as a stark reminder of his absence. With a heavy heart, I made my way down, determined to find him amidst the sea of faces.
As I navigated through the throng, I encountered some of his friends rushing up the stairs, their expressions a mix of confusion and animosity directed towards me. Ignoring their hostile glares, I brushed past them, my focus solely on locating him.
Lost in thought, I couldn't help but wonder what could have been if we had won the competition together. The thought of sharing such a moment of triumph with him left a bitter taste in my mouth, a stark contrast to the admiration the crowd bestowed upon us.
"Best couple, huh?" I muttered to myself, the irony not lost on me. I would rather remain unrecognized than be associated with him in any way.
As I wove through the crowd, searching for him among the sea of faces, my heart raced with anticipation. Each unfamiliar face I encountered sparked a glimmer of hope, only to be dashed upon closer inspection.
Frustration gnawed at me as I realized how difficult it was to pick him out among the boys dressed in similar attire. My initial excitement turned to disappointment as I mistook someone else for him, apologizing hastily before moving on.
It was then that Snow found me, her familiar face a welcome sight amidst the chaos of the crowd. Relief flooded through me as she approached, a sense of comfort washing over me in her presence.
Caught off guard by Snow's sudden outburst, I turned to face her, her words slicing through the cacophony of the crowd.
"What did I do!?" I retorted, my voice edged with frustration.
"Are you seriously asking me this question!?" Snow shot back, her voice rising above the din. "Everyone saw what you did to him. You guys were winning, and would've if only you hadn't hit him. Tell me, did you do it intentionally, or was it just an accident!?"
My attention drifted away from her words as I continued scanning the crowd for any sign of him. Unconsciously, I turned away, my mind consumed by the urgency of finding him.
Frustrated by my lack of response, Snow seized my shoulders and forcefully turned me back to face her. "Hey, I'm talking to you! What's going on? Why are you ignoring me!?" she demanded, her expression stern.
With a sigh, I finally acknowledged her, my mind still racing with thoughts of him. "Have you seen Denver?" I asked urgently, my voice betraying my anxiety.
"Denver?" Snow glanced around, scanning the crowd before pointing towards the empty chair. "He was here just a moment ago. Oh, but he's not here now. He must have gone to the bathroom. You should check there!" she suggested.
"Okay, thanks," I replied hastily, my mind focused solely on finding him. Elbowing my way through the crowd, I made my way to the narrow corridor leading to the guest rooms and bathrooms, determined to find him and confront him about his disappearance.
"Hey, you haven't answered me yet, tell my why you did this!?" I heard Snow yelling behind me. "Is she drank or what?" ignoring her I headed up until the guard appointed at the corner stopped me and questioned me about where I had been going.
"I need to go to the bathroom." I told him.
"These bathroom are for VIPs, you could use the ones for students!" He said pointing toward the main door of the hall. The bathroom for students use are based near the north of the hall.
"Ok!" I said him, "wait... If these bathroom are not for students than it's confirm he hasn't been to the bathroom. He's somewhere else. But where!?" As I twisted to go out a realization hit on me.
Suddenly, the need to pee myself hit me and I decided to go to the bathroom myself before resuming my search for him.
The crowd was still going mad for the couple as they bowed nicely in front of them and the VIPs flipped the slash over their heads on which were printed "best couple of the year", ignoring the noise I proceeded toward the main door, and exited through them.
Some students were scattered there too, one couple was romancing around the east corner of the hall, the girl was pinned to the wall and the boy was dominating her as they both were busied in kissing each other.
I walked past them without disturbing their moment and went to the bathroom straight. Few girls had occupied the bathroom. Some were touching up their makeups and one was crying because her boyfriend cheated on her and others were there for the actual purpose bathroom had been built.
I went to the free room and discarded the acidic liquid from my bladder, and once I was done I left the bathroom and revert to my search.
Donned in a beautifully embellished maxi, I had been performing the job of a detective and searching for glue to find my friend whom I have lost because of my own negligence.
If God ever bestowed to with good and loyal friend, make sure you keep them with great care and never loose them because of someone else you find more handsome and rich.
As I stepped out of the bathroom, the weight of my mistake hung heavy upon me, each step a painful reminder of the consequences of my actions. With my dress held up to prevent it from brushing against the floor, I walked along the wall of the hall, the echoes of announcements and music from inside reverberating through the college.
Turning the corner, I was met with a sight that stopped me in my tracks, my eyes widening in disbelief. "This just can't be true," I muttered, my mind struggling to comprehend the scene unfolding before me. It felt like a nightmare from which I desperately wished to awaken.
Two men were locked in a violent struggle, their bodies entwined as they grappled with each other on the floor. The sounds of their blows echoed through the corridor, each strike a harsh reminder of the brutality of their confrontation.
My heart raced with fear and uncertainty as I watched, paralyzed by the chaos unfolding before me. For a moment, I was unable to move, the shock of the scene holding me captive. But as the realization dawned that I needed to intervene, I pushed aside my own fear and rushed forward, determined to put an end to the violence before it escalated any further.
