Her Love is Infinite - Chapter 4

Hey guys,

Sorry for taking a long time to post this chapter but I just got back from the most amazing vacation ever. You've all been nothing but supportive and amazing. 

With love,

"Should I tell her?" I thought "is she the one I tell about this? I mean… someone should know and she did trust me with her secret..." I finally decided " I'm gonna tell her."

I opened up my laptop and went on the school website. I logged on using the individual username and passwords we were given and looked through the list of names until I found her full name "Noura Hamad Al-X" and right next to it was her facebook link. I clicked it and was redirected to her page. I knew it was hers because I saw that beautiful face in the display picture. I click 'Send a message' and began typing.

"Hey I think I need to tell you something…"

 __________

I waited and waited for a reply but got nothing so I just gave up and went to nap. I woke up 3 hours later to find a facebook notification. I open it just hoping it would be her and not some stupid game request.

-New message from Noura Al-X- "Tell me."

Oh god this is it… I started to type. "Listen, this is something I've never told anyone. Not my friend, not my teacher and not even to my own parents. All my life I've been the person everyone goes to when they have a problem. 'Fahhaaaddd this, this and this happened' 'Fahhad what do you think I should do about this?' 'Fahad I'm sad, cheer me up?' Yet no one ever seemed to care when I had a problem.  For once in my life I wanted someone who I can go to and spill all what's in my heart and for them to tell me "I'm here for you" or "Everything is gonna be alright" but NOOO everyone cares more about their selves. As to why I did what I did, I was always bullied as a child. I was always told that I was unwanted and an outcast… hence me always sitting by myself. I honestly never thought I would come out and tell anyone this but after what you told me today, I felt like I could trust you and if there was anyone to tell, it was you. Now I get if you don’t want to talk to me or deal with someone with this much problems, but it just felt good to open up to someone."

My fingers started to hurt. Once I started typing, I felt like weights were being lifted from my shoulders. I read what I wrote and pressed send and waited. There's no turning back now. Someone knows and I hope she understands.

5 minutes passed….

20 minutes…

50 minutes…

Nothing.

"Did I scare her off?" I started to think… "I KNEW I SHOULDN’T HAVE TOLD HER! WHAT MAKES HER ANY DIFFERENT TO ANYBODY ELSE?! THEY ALL RUN AS SOON AS YOU…"

I was cut off from the sound of a new notification…

-New message from Noura Al-X-

"I was literally sitting here for the past hour just reading your message over and over again. I feel so close to you right now. No one should ever feel like they don’t belong. I've had the same problem as a child but having someone by my side that I can open up to always seemed to help. If you would let me, I want to be that person. That person you come and spill all your problems to. You made me a promise the first time we spoke. Now I'm making you a promise. I will never ever make you feel like you're all alone in this world. I'll be here for you when you're at your lowest point and will stand by your side even when you're wrong. "

I felt a lump starting to form in my throat. My eyes were starting to tear up… tears of happiness. I've never felt so accepted in my life.

That night something happened. Something that hasn't happened for as long as I can remember… I went to sleep happy.

The next day I had P.E first period so I didn't see Noura at all. I put my bag in one of the lockers in the changing rooms and went into the changing stall. After I was done I opened the curtains to find Jasim and a couple of other boys waiting for me. I tried to avoid them but they pushed me back and corned me in the stall.

"Who do you think you are to put your hands on me?" he started. "You know I can end your life right now. You and that skanky bitch."

"Don't talk about her like that" I was starting to get annoyed…

"Oh he's defending her! How sweet… Why do you even care about her? Do you know her? Are you dating her? Oh…. I know! You're sleeping with her!"

That did it. I threw a punch that landed right on his jaw and down he went. I saw this as an opportunity to get away but didn't make it 5 steps before I was pulled back by two guys while the third tripped me and the rest started to kick me. I tried to put my hands in the way but there were too many feet pounding my body from all directions and I couldn't stop them all. It felt like being in a car crash. I feel like I have no control over my limbs and at times I feel like I'm looking down on my own body but with each strike I come back the body with the pain. With each kick, I could sense each individual cell bruising, bursting and each nerve end blasting out electric shocks. I felt my heart beating in my head and I could hear it in my ears. 

I took one last look at my attackers and blacked out.

To be continued....
