Melodies of memories

I think I'm really happy with how my life is going now since I don't have to worry about money which was the biggest ordeal of my life while I was a teenager as my father was broke and me and my mother who is an housewife had to suffer from it a lot so much that I still have a habit of rejecting my friends when they ask me out to go somewhere with them or not eating something I like. But I still am grateful now that I'm an adult atleast I can earn money by myself. "Take Mika with you she needs to visit the vet today" mom said Mika is my lovely 3 years old cat who is recently sick and I need to take her to the vet but I have to go to my friend's house as she is having a get together after returning from US and I need to see her before she leaves again, "I can't today mom I have to visit Rena today or she will cry if she doesn't see me at the get together" I said. Mother told me to do as I please and I promised to take Mika tomorrow.

While going to Rena's house I was excited to see her after so many months she is one of my childhood friends who has always been there for me just like Fiona who is also in the same university as me and is studying the same courses so we basically see eachother to the point of getting sick. We will have a girls night out and I can't wait to just cuddle with them and laugh at eachother's every word till dawn. "Miss you know that you're very beautiful right? Specially that smile of yours" the Uber driver stated, shivers ran down my spine as I felt that he was being very eery and creepy and the eery feeling increased when I saw that the location wasn't the same as Rena's house "this isn't the right way to my friend's house" I tried to speak without letting my voice crack

"Miss this is another way I know of, it's a shortcut"

'Nonsense' I thought to myself I have been to her house too many times to know that this isn't the right direction

"Please pull up I will get down here"

"I can't do that miss I need to drop you off the location first"

He started speeding up and before I could say anything he started shouting aggressively say how I should stay quiet likes good girl and he will spare me mercy. I panicked and grabbed the mini knife I always had for safety and stabbed the knife in his neck, he shrilled and turned the car so that it would crash with a tree.

When I gained consciousness I saw that man lying there unconscious from the list of blood I hit my head hard to it was hurting badly but ignoring that pain I ran out of the car and started looking for help. For a while I was mindlessly searching for help then Infront of me I saw a river a river which resonated the sky and was so beautiful it felt like the gods were laughing at my misery since I was suffering which the earth remained beautiful. To my horror the beauty of the river faded when I heard the man scream behind me he was coming close to me with the same knife I had struck him with. I thought to my if I'm going to be tortured by this shitty thing I would rather drown into that beautiful river. So with hopes that somehow the gods might save me I jumped into the river and the fall was quite long I saw the man's expression before closing my eyes and thought how shitty that was to experience and how I couldn't see Rena before she leaves for US again and how Mika wasn't taken to a vet my mom would undoubtedly be heartbroken if she finds out I'm dead I should've at least have a life insurance done before I could feel my conscience fade away as the water filled my lungs and I slowly lost consciousness.
