Chapter 2 Regret

Sandra got out of the building and into the street.

“Why did I even come here? And why did I even steal my mother’s money to buy a gift that no one will appreciate?” she keeps asking herself questions as she walks the lonely road. She didn’t even have the transport fee to go back home, so she has to walk all the way home.

She has come here with the help of Pat, and now she has to help herself by walking this long distance back home.

She thought of being strong but that will do her no good so she gave way to the tears that have been standing in her eyes waiting for permission to come out. They flow uncontrollably that sometimes she even bends over just to cry her heart out.

Alex kept his distance, he keeps following her and watching what she will do and where she is going.

When Sandra got to a bridge, she walk over it and stood there looking at the water, it was peaceful that she forgot about Brian for a second.

“What is she planning to do? I hope she is not going to jump?” Alex ask.

“What if she jumped, what will I do?” He was still watching her when Sandra brought out the singlet opened it and throw it into the water.

“I guess I'm not supposed to be there, that girl is right, what is a singlet? When she can even buy him a house, she looks like a rich kid but who am I?, I even stole the money I use to buy this singlet.”

“What is she doing there?” Alex asks himself again, “I hope she is not contemplating suicide?”

Sandra stood there looking at the water allowing the tears to flow freely when all of a sudden a car pulled over her, she quickly jack back to the present.

“Hey beautiful, what are you doing over a bridge all by yourself; You need a ride?”

Sandra quickly wipes her tears with her hand.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I'm fine, I was just looking at the water is..is…is so beautiful out here” she manages to say.

“Okay, do you need a ride, I can drop you off, come inside”

“No I'm fine, I'm almost home and I don’t want to bother you”

“You are not bothering me and I'm going your way, just come in and let me drop you off”

Sandra reluctantly enters the car, and she couldn’t believe that a car could be like a house, she has been entering cars and motto’s at their local market but this one looks like a house, everything is inside, she has never seen something like this before.

Now she’s beginning to understand why girls are always fighting because of Alex according to Pat.

“So what is your name?” Alex ask her seeing the way she was looking around the car.

“Is this a house?” Sandra ask instead of answering the question Alex asked her.

“Of course not, what do you think?”

“So why are all these things here?” she asks pointing at the drinks and something that looks like a refrigerator.

“Oh, that is how this car is,” Alex simply said wondering why she was surprised.

If she’s with Brian then she should be more civilized.

“So are you going to tell me your name”

“Oh, sorry, my name is Sandra”
