Twist of Fate

Elena’s POV

Life is the most beautiful thing in world cannot be seen or touched,they must be feel with her but not everyone's life is perfect.Mine is not perfect.My past is clouded with darkness and now it still haunting me day and night.

I had my headphone on,playing 'fake love' by bts,holding a ticket in my hand while boarding the plane.I showed my ticket to a brown hair lady and she smile at me then point at my seat.Dad bought me a VIP class which i was hoping he could just get me economy class.I walked to my seat which was next to the window .I sat and looked out the window,as my mind drip away in the music.

Soon the plane take off.I looked at the city that I had stayed for 3 years.It’s time for me to go back.The only reason I came to China was because of my trauma.Dad found a famous psychiatry to help me overcome my trauma which I disagree to see one because it makes me looked like a person with a mental problem.Somehow dad and Kyle manage to pursue me.The first year at China was a tough one since I don’t know chinese luckily I had a friend who helped me around.

I begged my dad to send me back to America since I’m getting better but I still had my trauma.How surprised I was when he agreed without any arguement.But he still want me to go for therapy and I agreed if not he might not sent this ticket to me.Another new beginning in my life and I hope this time everything goes well.

It was gonna be a long way back home so I took a few hour sleep.

12 hours later.....

The plane finally landed at New York airport.I had a nice stretch and then grabbed my beg pack before getting off the plane. After I got my luggage I walked to the front to see a tall guy with a broad shoulder and dirty blond hair waving at me.I walked towards him with a smile and gave him a hug.

“I missed you baby sis.“He hugged me back tightly.

“I missed you too Kyle.“I pulled away from the hug and smile at him.

“Come let go!“He took my luggage and lead me to his car.

On the way home...

“Dad said sorry he can’t come and fetch you.He had a meeting.“Kyle said while his eyes fixed on the road.

“It’s okay,I’ll see him later anyway.“I smiled.Kyle and I wasn’t so close but we did spend time together sometimes. He even visited me at China a couple of time in a year.Kyle kept on talking to me and I only answer him either shaking or nodding my head.I’m not the type of person who talk much.Which the reason why I had not much friendand mayne because I shut most people out.There only few person close to me expect Kyle and Dad.Soon we arrived a double storey house surrounded with tree and there is a fountain in the front.It was still the same as before I left three years ago.I walked in leaving Kyle with my luggage.

“Eli!“Dad called out and hugged me making me out of breathe.

“Dad you’re squeezing her.“Kyle chuckled so did I.Dad let go and apologized.I shook my head as a sign he don’t have to apologize.

“You must be tried after the long trip.Go get some rest we'll call you later for dinner.“Dad smiled.I nodded and walked to my room.Kyle placed my luggage beside my bed.Before he walked out he told me to get some rest then he left.

I looked around my room,it was still the same when I left accepted one thing which was my first time seeing it.It was a photo of Dad,Kyle and me.I still remembered we took that photo when we’re at Dad’s beach house.I picked it up and ran my fingers on it.Dad and Kyle was the only family I have.I didn’t had the chance to meet mum.She died giving birth of me.I don’t have a photo of her but Dad had.He said I don’t need a photo to see her I just need to look at the mirror.He said I looked just like my mum.

Long wavy blond hair and a pair of ocean blue eye.I smiled at the photo and put it back at it place.I walked towards the bathroom to refresh myself.

After we had dinner Dad asked me followed him to his office.He sat on the couch a handed me his tab.I took it with curiosity engulfed me.

“Pick one school that you like.“He smiled.I looked through and there were many school photos.Most of it look boring and lack of facilities.I need a school that had what I desired.Finally I found it,I smiled and showed dad the picture of the school I picked.

"Falcon High!Good choice.The principal there is a friend of mine.I’ll talk to him."He took the tab from me and sat it on the table.He took my hands and placed it on his.

“How have you been.“There were concern and worries in his voice.

"Dad I’m fine.Like I told you last time on the phone I’m getting better and I already promise to you that I’ll still go for my therapy."I smiled.

"I just want you get over your trauma I don’t want it to spoil your teenage life."He stopped before continued."If I had found you sooner after your mum died this won’t happen to you."He looked down and sighed.He kept blaming himself for what happen to me in the past but I didn’t blame him.Mum hide my existence from him.He only found out about me when I was already 12 years old and by that time my life was already a total mess.The life that I don’t want to remember at all.

“Dad stop blaming yourself please.I don’t want to remember about it anymore so lets just forget it ever happen.Please!“I pleaded.Dad looked at me and he nodded.I hugged him and he hugged back.

I sat on my bed and memories flashes in my mind.Everytime does memories flash in my mind I wanted to cry.Cry as loud as I can.But I’m done with crying.I don’t want to waste my tears for sometimes unworthy to cry for.3 years in China and 3 years having my therapy made me a strong person but not as strong as you thought.I sighed.The flashes of memories won’t stopped so I decided to go out.I told Kyle I was going for a walked and he offer himself to company me but I declined since he looked busy with his paper works.He nodded and told me to be careful and contact him if anything when wrong.I went to the garage to see if my bicycle was still there and I was glad it’s still there so I don’t have to walked.

There was a place popped out of my mind.I got on my bicycle and cycle to that place.It only took 15 minutes to get there.I got down and put my bicycle stand on.I walked to the bridge and placed my hand on the bridge fence.It was pitch dark so I can’t see the view.The air was cold and the wind were brushing through my face.I closed my eyes breathe in and out slowly.Then open my eyes.This was the place where I almost end my life.

Flashback...

There were bruise and cut all over my body.I looked behind a few time to see if he was following me.I was relieved to know he wasn’t.I was limping all the way to the bridge.After a long walked trying to endure the pain I finally fall.I leaned against the bridge fence.I cried in pain.There were blood stain on the corner of my lips which sting and my legs hurt so much.My shirt were dirty cover with my blood.Why he did this to me I don’t know what I did to make him hate me and why I’m received this punishment.I don’t think I can live on to this anymore.I’m sure he’ll find sooner or later and he won’t stopped torturing me.So I guess it’s better I end my life now.I hold on the bridge stand to help myself stand up.I gathered all the strength left and sat on the fence.Tears was still continued to flow.

'This is for the best Elena,after this no more pain.'I thought.

I took a deep breath and slide of the fence and fell into the icy cold water.All the bad memories flashes through my mind.In my whole life there’s only bad memories I had there’s no happy memories that I could keep to cherish.I almost run out of oxygen when an arm was wrapped around my waist and pulling me up to the surface.Before I could reached the surface everything became black.

“Hey wake up.” A voice of a boy called out while slapping my cheeks gently.My sight was blur I couldn’t see his face and all I saw was a crescent moon shape necklace fall out of his shirt.

"Hey hang in there I’m bringing you to the hospital."That all I heard before I passed out.

Flashback End...

I didn’t regret for almost drowning myself but I also grateful that the boy save my life.I ended my old pathetic life by drowning myself and he saved me which bring me to my life I’m having now which was 3x better than before.I didn’t even got to know his name and never even thanked him for saving me.I just hope to meet him even once.I sighed.

I was about to leave when I notice someone else on the bridge.He was wearing a black hood and seem to loss in his thought.I couldn’t see his face since he was wearing a hood.He was about to leave too and turned towards my direction.He was taken aback seeing my staring at him.A gasped escaped out of my mouth when my eyes fall on the necklace he was wearing.It was the same necklace the boy who save me wears.He turned to the another direction and walked away.

"Hey wait."I called out.I got on my bicycle and went after him.Once he heard me call out for him ,he ran which put me in confusion.I need to know if he was really the one who saved me 5 years ago.When I came to a junction I lost him.Why’d he ran anyway.I sighed in disappointment.I cycled back home with disappointment engulfed me.

Once I reached home I went straight up to my room not telling Kyle who I saw since I wasn’t sure if he was really the one who save me but my instinct says it was really him.So I decided to go there often so I can meet him again and next time I’ll make sure I meet him...
