2 years ago...
It was a day as peacefull as any other. Sunny with a slight breeze, birds chirping and busy crowd of people going on about their own buisness.
On the bus station, there stood a brunette with a pale complexion. Her rosy lips perfectly complimenting her pale skin and her dark brown, wavy hair framing her face falling on her back in a flowy manner. Wind occassionally caressing her hair as she clutched on her bag's strap woth one hand while the other held a thick bookin front of her face. Her concentrated light coloured eyes focused on the book from behind her glasses. A small beauty mark right under her the right corner of her lower lip. Dressed in a loose shirt and black ripped jeans with an over coat. She looked sloppy at first glance.
Ahe bit on her lip lightly as she immersed herself in the book she was reading. She soon had to close her book as a bus horn sounded, indicating the arrival of a bus. She finally took off her eyes from her book and looked at the font of the oncoming bus to look at the bus number. Confirming the bus number she sighed as she hurriedly stuffed her book in her bag and took out her phone and ear phones out, preparing to get on the bus and for the ride ahead.
As she got on the bus she made an eye contact with a pair of green eyes. ' beautiful....how unusual ' she thought as she looked at the owner of those beautiful green eyes. She may have stared for a bit too long as she saw the awkward look on the face that she decided to label as 'cute'. She flashed a shy smile to the guy and complimented him " you've got pretty eyes", the boy looked at her and a small polite smile tugged at his lips as he whispered a ' thank you'.
This day couldn't have been any more ordinary than that. That was until there was a sudden sharp screeching sound. The brunette's body lurched due to inertia, thankfully she quickly grabbed onto the handle bar of her seat to not be thrown out of her seat. But unfortunately it was just the start of ot all. The screams rang in the air, ot was really noisy as the bus started to svirwel off the road.
She tried to hold onto the seat in fron of her, unconsciously gripped onto the hoddie of the cute guy from earlier who was sitting in front . The guy felt his hoddie tightening around his neck, he just felt thankful that he usually wore loose and oversized hoodies as tried to get out of it, which was already very difficult in the current situation. As the two struggled with their own struggles, not knowing what was going on as the alarm bell in theor mind went off, there was a sudden loud explosion. The whole bus was a wreck , a small fire started in the driver's cabin. Driver suffered from the blunt impact of it all and doed on the spot. The conductor although injured quickly got hold of the small fire extinguisher and tried to put out the fire.
By the time the ambulance got there, many of the passangers had died and those who were left were critically injured.....
1 week later
Green eyes filled with awkwardness and a polite smile on a cute face. That was the first scene that flashed through the unconscious brunette, but soon that polite smile faded, and the lips tightened into a straight line and the teeth were gritted, awkwardness faded from those green eyes ,now filled with panic. The cute face of the boy was now covered by the blood as many sharp glass shards were embedded on his face and head. A trickle of blood flowed out of his slightly parted lips as he moaned in pain.
The girl opened her eyes. Tears running down her face and her whole body drenched with cold sweat. She winced in pain as she tried to move only to find it difficult to make even the smallest of the movement. She couldn't even make a single sound...
There was someone else in the ward too, a haggard looking middle aged woman who slightly resembled the girl lying in the hospital bed. The moment the girl opened her eyes the woman was surprised but more than that she was relieved and worried at the same time. She called for a doctor and tried to comfort and reassure the girl.
It was however of no ise the girl cried and cried with no sign of stopping, this caused the lady to feel so distressed. The brunette cried so heartbreakingly without making a single sound just silently shedding tears for the reasons unknown to the lady.
The doctor soon arrived in the room. They check on the patient who was one of the few survivors of the bus accident.
The cause of this accident was not found but the police was deligently investigating this incident.
The lady, that girl's mother took care of the girl. The girl insistently asked the lady and the staff about what was going on trying to find out about that boy who was a total stranger but had left such a deep mark on her mind. The lady couldn't take it anymore and finally told the girl everything truthfully. The girl after hearing all that finally stopped insistently asking . She became dazed and more silent than what she used to be. Refused talking with anyone, started living decadently. Her health detoriating as the days passed. The doctors finally added psychological councelling session in her rehabilitation routine.
The girl was led to the department of psychiatry by a nurse and was accompanied by her mother. They went up a few floors using elevator and the walked along a spacious corridor, then stopped in front of a door. The nurse raised jer hand lightly knocked on the office door.
"Come in" came a female voice slightly muffled through the door.
