BROKEN

                                    

                                          
TRACY'S POV
I am really tired of finding Angi.
When she found out that the boy was Antonio Greco she was horrified.
She practically ran out of the cafeteria.
I called her but she said she will meet me in the class.
I still have 20 minutes to roam around.
Right now,I am walking down the massive hallway.
I am actually surprised to find it empty.
I am trying to find a spot to sit peacefully and read my books.
Right at the end of the hallway is a 
green house.
I remembered that from our early visit.
Maybe I can go there and sit for sometime.
After opening the massive glass door I  slid inside.
Immediately  enchanted by the beauty of this room.
Massive glass doors surrounded all over this room.
The rooftop is also made of glass.
Inside it’s warm.
Sunlight is swimming all over the room.
It's divided into sections.
For fruits, flowers and normal plants.
Some tropical plant whose name I don't even know.
There are some vegetables too.
The fountain which is in the middle of this house is actually giving a forest vibe like the fictional books.
There is a sitting area surrounding the fountain.
Totally empty room just as I expected.
Perfect place for me to sit and relax.
I walked up to the fountain but suddenly noticed something beside that.
There is a drawing table which is full with colour tubes, palette and art paper.
Beside the table is an art board.
Is someone there too?
But I hadn't noticed anyone.
I walked up to the board and looked at that page which is clipped with that.
Whoever it is, he or she just started that painting.
He or she just started to draw the fountain.
Maybe he or she is an art student?
“Can I help you?” suddenly a voice asked from behind me.
“Ahhhhhhhhh” suddenly I felt the floor beneath me vanish.
Oh no.
I am gonna fall straight on my butt in front of a stranger.
But suddenly a hand snake around my waist stopped me from failing and embarrassing myself.
I looked up to see light grey eyes twinkling with amusement.
Then I saw the intruder’s face.
I can feel the breath knocked out of my lungs.
Honey blonde hair which is almost gold.
Light grey eyes.
Straight nose which is slightly crooked at the edge.
Thin full pink lips.
And lastly chiselled jawline.
He is like straight out of fiction.
One minute isn't that same hair which I saw earlier behind the statue.
I recalled my memories.
Flashback
I am standing with Satsangi inside the college campus.
There are like 150 students with us.
All of them are chatting alone. Some are standing still and silent.
I have to say that the Campus is 
So fucking huge.
Well that's rich because I don't curse usually.
Suddenly I noticed a puppy… yes a puppy running into the bushes.
I turned my head to look clearly.
Suddenly a boy with blonde hair grabbed him.
I can't see his face because of the Statue of Newton.
I tried to but failed.
Suddenly I noticed that Satsangi was looking in the same direction.
“What are you looking at?” I asked her.
“I am trying to look at the thing which was able to steal your gaze for quite some minutes” she teased me. 
God.
I can feel my cheeks starting to heat up.
END OF THE FLASHBACK
But maybe it's not him.
Many students here have blonde hair.
But still.
“Are you going to stand up or do I have to hold you for a full day?” 
That gorgeous fictional boy asked me.
“Ohh,umm sorry” I can feel the same redness has started to cover my cheeks.
“It's okay,now care to explain me what the fuck are you doing here?” 
Even his voice is so smooth.
Like honey and velvet.
“Umm,well I just didn't know what to do so I thought of exploring and then I came here”
“Oh,ok.But you shouldn't explore like that.You can go missing”
“Okay,Btw hi I’m Tracy Huton” I told him sticking out my hand.
“I am Reube….” Suddenly the bell started to ring, cutting him off.
I looked at my watch and noticed that the lunch break was over.
“Crap!I have to go to the class or else I am gonna be late”
Then I ran out of the room.
I didn't even turn around to see him, I just kept running until I reached my class.
I noticed Angi was sitting in the last row near the window.
I slid next to her.
“Hi,are you ok?”
“Yes,I am just shocked. I don't want the same things repeated” She mumbled out.
I don't know if it means for me to hear.
“Hey everything will be ok.Maybe he is not that bad and what happened was just an accident.So no need to worry about that and focus on your classes”
“Yup, you're right.I can't freak out over this.Everything will be ok”
Our conversation is cut short because of professor Collin’s entering.
After the whole day finally we reached our dorm room.
We took our turns in the shower.
I went to the last.
After entering our room I noticed Satsangi was looking at a ring.
What? Engagement ring?
It looks like one.
“Oh my gosh ,I didn't know you were engaged, Angi,” I teased her.
She is suddenly startled by my sudden appearance.
She hurriedly wore that ring with a chain around her neck.
“It's my mother's,” she said quietly.
Something is wrong with her voice.
Her voice suddenly sounded so small and dull.
Has something happened to her?
“If it's your mother's then isn't it supposed to be with her?”
“Umm, it's nothing forget about it” 
I know she is hiding something from me.
Ever since she has come here she always seems to like fighting with something.
Sometimes she gets nervous.
I walked up to her and grabbed her hand.
“You know you can tell me.” Her beautiful brown eyes are shining with tears.
“I can't.If I told you then you will judge me like others” Her voice started to quiver.
‘‘I will never judge you.I promise.
You can trust me. I know we don't know each other's for more than 5 days but still it will be a relief  for you if you share this”
She started to take deep breaths.
Her demeanor suddenly started to change.
She looks angry.
“Trust? I trusted someone 5 years ago and she made my life fucking hell and you are telling me to trust you” her sudden yelling startled me.
Something very bad had happened to her.
“Look,I don't know what was in your past and I also know that when someone broke your trust it's truly difficult to trust someone from the 2nd time but still I want you to tell me.”
“You are manipulative bitch, you know that right? I am sure gonna regret this.” she muttered out.
“I’m adopted.When I was 6 years old then the Harpers took me in.I don't know anything about my mother.
I asked Mrs.Julia about my mother but she always refused to tell me the truth but after some tantrums she told me but that's not the answer I wanted to know”
“What did she say?”
“She just said she didn't know anything about her.But I was able to understand that she was going to lie to me about something.”
Her face turned into a deep frown.
“When I became 12 years old I knew that's the moment to know everything about myself so I went to her and practically forced her to tell me about everything”
Her chin started to quiver.
“She found me in a carriage. It looks like I was just a newborn then.” She started hiccuping. 
That's horrible.How can someone do this to a newborn baby.
Not just any baby but their own baby.
“That carriage delivered goods to Mrs.Julia’s bf well now her husband's farm.That’s how she found me.”
Thank God Mrs.Julia found her.If she hadn't then I can't even imagine what will happen with her.
“I just had a baby blanket  wrapped around me and this ring in my neck with a chain.In my blanket Satsangi name was carved so she thought that it must be my name.Sometimes I thought maybe my mother was an Indian because the Name Satsangi is a Sanskrit word and Sanskrit is the oldest and the purest language in India so I thought that.”
“Satsangi is a beautiful name.Very unique” I smiled at her.
“As I said  at the age of 6 the Harpers took me in.They love me like their own daughter but they are too busy in their career that they forgot to give me time.They just gave me the money when I needed it. And that's it.It was very rare when they took me out with them. I wanted to be the best daughter for them because I thought if I did something wrong then they would also abandon me.I studied very hard to always top the class and they are very proud of me too.But then I wanted to spend some time with them you know like family time but they just bought me all sorts of entertainment things in home to spend my time but I wanted them to spend my time with”
She is shaking hard at that point.
"I started to understand that no one cares about me so I just started to live the way I wanted.Not to care about anyone but just me.Not to get emotionally attached because it will hurt me." The corner of her lips turned up in a bitter way.
“Still I am grateful for what they have done for me.But school was worst.There was a girl name Stanley whom I thought as my bestie.I shared everything with her but from the next day everyone in the school started to treat me as a trash.No one talked to me.If any person tried to talk to me then others would scare them away.Sometimes the bullies were worse. I started to understand that I have to stand up for myself because no one will stand up for myself. The bullies died down but still they would call me a freak ,trash, unwanted person etc. Because my  birth mother abandoned me” Angi is now crying.
She suddenly stood up and started pacing.
“You can't imagine how it feels when suddenly everyone turns their back to you.They always made you feel like unworthy trash who didn't belong there”
I didn't even realise when I started to cry by myself.
She had gone through a lot.
“Why Trace ?Why did she have to abandon me?Am I that bad? Unwanted?”
She slumped down on the floor and pulled her knees to her chest.
I went up to her.
But suddenly her breathing started to pick up.
Oh,no she is having a panic attack.
She is crying hysterically.
I'm feeling very helpless now.
But Thank God after some time her Breathing started to get normal.
This panic attack was not that bad but don't know why I'm having this feeling that she had it worse.
She curled up in my lap.
She looks so small and fragile.I kept soothing her. After some time she fell asleep in my lap.
I laid my head on top of her.My mom did that to me when I was sad.
I smiled at that memory.
“I promise you Angi I will never treat you like that.I promise you.” I murmured to her.

Sometimes we don't even understand how broken the person is behind all of that tough character they build up to protect them.

She had to go through a lot but now Trace is here for her.
