Mr. Lonely

Sarah Catherine Bellham is strong spirited and takes life very seriously.Vincent Abraham Pal is ruthless, rude and a rascal.What happens when these two are forced into a relationship?Will they get out of it together or will they destroy each other?

“My! My! You are seriously loving the attention you are getting tonight, huh?”, he smirked.

 

“What do you want Ben?”

 

“What? I can’t even talk to my ‘little brother’?”

I mentally winced at the words ‘little brother’ coming from him.              

 

“Good bye Ben! Just leave me alone.”

 

“Oh! Ok little brother. As you wish. I just wanted you to know that Elliot sent you her best wishes and…LOVE.” He smirked. “She had a party to attend with her friends so she couldn’t make it.

 

Anger coursed through me and I closed my fists to control myself from hitting him.

Oh! The B*****d loved torturing me.

Well…two can play this game.

“Oh! That’s so sweet of her. Give her my sincere regards.”

 

I threw a good bye salute at him and left before he could say anything more.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

As soon as reached the parking lot, I took a deep breath to control myself. I was seething with anger and I needed to vent it out.

I started my car and zipped away.

S**t!

I hit the steering wheel hard.

Why do I let him…them do this to me?

What have I ever done to deserve this?

I switched on the radio and Akon’s ‘Mr. Lonely’ was playing.

 

Ben and I were always close when we were kids. He was only one year older than me yet he was very protective of me. We were the ‘best friends’ every one envied. He was my idol during my childhood. Then Ben went away to high school in Texas. He visited only once during his high school…and that was the visit that changed everything.

Every…little…thing..!

And that made me change.

 

My father, my brother, Elliot… they were my only family. They were supposed to care for me right?

But why is it that they can hurt me the most?

Why don’t they care about my feelings?

Am I not a human being to them?

 

I wish Mom was here.

Her presence would always keep me at peace.

She and only she knew me well enough.

She would know when I was angry, when something was worrying me…

Hell! She would know when I was hungry without me having to say anything.

She could read me like an open book.

She would always cook my favorite dishes…it was so long ago…

And then…the cancer hit her.

Damn it! Why did it have to be my mother?

 

And the day she died…

I was shattered.

Now…I have no where to go…no one to turn to…

 

The lyrics of the song definitely suit me.

 

Lonely… I am Mr. Lonely… I have nobody…

 

Why God? You hate me so much?

Yup! That’s it.

Everybody hates me…and no one wants me…

 

I reached home and parked my car inside the garage.

I entered my apartment and slammed the door shut.

Loosening my tie, I switched on my voice mail.

Nothing…

 

Maybe everyone out there forgot that I was still alive.

I switched on my PC.

There were about 120 mails waiting for me…all related to the business deal and the announcement made earlier tonight, congratulating me.

S**t! The news spreads real fast.

I searched for the one I really wanted and opened it.

 

Three attachments!

Good.

3…2…1…

 

Whoosh!

 

What the hell?

What the hell is that?

 

There on the screen were three photographs showing three different shots of legs, legs and only… long legs.
