1 Life in between two White lines

Highway no. 7 was covered in silence. No traffic, no people, nothing, not even a sign of any living thing.

"Well it is very common. I didn't expect any kind of help anyway. But my heart still hopes that he was here." A thought came across Anvi's mind, she brushed it off as soon as it came. She was pacing fast forward and backward with a hand on her forehand. A panic rose in her heart. She calmed it by muttering " Everything will be alright nothing will happen. Just calm down and think!" then she turned to her right side and panic rose in her heart again.

There was a boy around 19 or 20 laying on his back with a pool of blood increasing under his head. His bike was scattered few feet away.

Her mind drifted to few minutes in past when she was driving her Royal Enfield at low speed and enjoying the calming effects of moon light on her skin. She suddenly heard a loud thud few meters ahead of her. She dismounted from her bike hurriedly, taking brisk steps ahead, searched the area on road by flashlight of her phone and saw a boy rolling over on the edge of road.

"Hello!"

"Are you ok?"

"What happened?" She reached at shoulder of the boy. There was no response. She turned him over and found him unconscious.

" Oh! My God"

"What should I do?" She reached her phone and tried to call emergency number which was on the signboard of highway patrol. No one answered. Called 911. She at least tried to call 10 times but there was no response.

"Great" then she saw a car was coming from the opposite side she waved her hands as hard as possible tried to stop it but the car crossed her in high speed without noticing her. It happened with one or two cars more.

Her panic rose 100 times from before. She couldn't able to stand on her legs and sat on the side of road cross legged. All of this happened in 5 mins. " Anvi you can't just stand here and do nothing like a helpless mutt." she scolded herself and started to think what can she do.

Then she saw some kind of headlights from far away coming towards her at a notable speed. A thought came across her mind, she smirked and ran towards middle of the road. Stood there her hands wide open, and feet apart shoulders length.

"Let's see what will happen. Worst sinerio is that car will crash over me."

"Well it's not a bad idea" she said to her and shut her eyes calmly.

Ethan's P.O.V

"Years ago

When I was younger

I kinda liked

A girl I knew

She was mine and we were sweethearts

That was then but then it's true."

"I am in love with a fairy tale

Even though it hurts

Cause I don't care if I loose my mind

I am already cursed."

Josh and I were literally yelling the lyrics of song as it played on high volume in the car. As for today mood was super light. We have completed our photo shoot with InStyle magazine on time and were overjoyed that we will have a good night sleep tonight. I usually go around with the manger that my company provided me but today we were in the mood of driving back to city in my car.

"Ethan! We should change the song." "Let's listen something bombastic." Josh yelled almost making me deaf and gave me his million dollar smile.

I reached to pick my phone, started browsing through playlist. Few seconds later when I looked on the road I suddenly saw a figure came in my sight out of nowhere. Someone was standing in the middle of road with hands wide spread.

"Ohh! Motherfucker" I yelled as I hit the brakes on full speed and pulling hand brake at the same time. Car stopped a few inches apart from that psychopath while leaving tires scratching marks on the road.

"What the hell." Josh said. I looked at him who was even more shocked than me.

I can feel sudden anger rising in me and I opened the door of driver's side, got out. Slammed the door behind me in full force.

I reached in front of the car and saw a girl probably in her mid twenties standing there with her eyes closed, her dark brown wavy hairs brushing over her face because of wind.

"What the fuck! What is your deal. If you wanted to die just go in front of a truck why should you have to come in front of my car." I yelled at her.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at me giving a sigh, all of sudden she rushed towards drivers seat opened the door. I was starting to get irritated and followed her quickly. When I was about to grab her shoulder she turned back with my car keys in her hand and shoved them in her back pocket.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?" I asked with anger in my voice. She looked at me with her deep brown eyes there was a little hint of water in them. I felt like the world stopped functioning there. I have never seen this much intimidating, deep and talkative eyes in my whole life in spite of being in modeling industry for long.

"Say something." I said. Josh also came out of car was staring at me and her.

"I need your help." She said for the first time. "Come here" she held my hand by wrist and dragged me by the side of road.

"Look there is a boy who needs a medical attention urgently." She said with a panic in her voice. I looked where she was pointing and saw a figure laying on his back. Three of us leaned over him. I checked his pulse and thankfully it was there. All of sudden she started to take off her leather jacket. After that she took of her t shirt over her shoulders and stood again. She started to look for something by the side of road. She suddenly stopped and started to kick something. When I got near her I saw a wooden box. She was kicking it until it broke. Then she took a long piece of wood and put her foot in the middle of it, started to press it. Wood piece broke in two even parts. She took both of them in her hands and ran towards the boy. By sitting near him on her knees she tore her t shirt in two parts, examined one of the leg of the boy. Than she looked up straight into my eyes like her eyes were saying something.

"Would you please hold his leg?" She said and I sit near her on my knees, she told me to hold boy's leg in commanding tone again. I looked at her then at boy and held his leg firmly. She placed both pieces of wood on the side of his calf and tied them tightly with her torn shirt.

While she was doing that a tattoo on the blade of her moving shoulder held my gaze. It was size of almost 4 to 5 inches round in shape there was a symbol inside it which I couldn't recognise and something was written around it in a round shape in a language I have never seen before. Feeling my gaze on her she looked back at me. I averted my gaze and looked back at the ground.

"Well we have to take him hospital as soon as possible. He is loosing blood." She said.

I looked at her. She was standing on her heels already with hands on her waist which was covered in black spaghetti. I nodded at her.

"Both of you hold him by his shoulders I will hold his legs." She said. We followed without asking and placed him in the backseat of car carefully.

She handed me car keys and turned around.

"Why didn't you called highway emergency number or 911?" Josh said something for the first time.

" I called. Several times but no one answered." She turned head looking over her shoulder. Josh cursed under his breath and looked at her again.

" We shouldn't waste time here and we have to take him hospital as soon as possible."

"I will follow you guys behind on my bike." She said pointing at a massive bike parked on our left side. Both of us nodded at the same time with a bit of shock on our faces.

She marched towards her bike, sat on the seat, wore her jacket, put a helmet on and kicked to start. The bike came to life with a low roar. I looked at Josh who was still looking at her direction in a awe and tossed car keys at him indicating him to drive because he was more familiar with the area around here than me. We started the car and moved forward. After 10 mins Josh slowed the car and moved it to the side way road which was indicating a hospital sign on the side of it.

Before we could get out of our car I saw her running towards hospital's door covering two steps of stairs in one leap. She disappeared behind the doors with in seconds and came back with two of hospital staff and a starcher. With the help of the staff we pulled the boy on the starcher and took him into the ER. One of the doctor started to examine him as we stood outside of ER. A member of staff patted the back of my shoulder, asked me to fill patient information on the form. I took it and looked at it puzzled.

" Hey! You have to fill the form." I told her.

" I don't know him." She said without looking at me.

"What?"

"I have seen him for the first time laying on the road. I don't know anything about him."
