From the scratch chapter 1/18

Love you grandpa. She screamed so loudly and she almost jumped from the beautiful Ventura Bridge. Hey hey you the s**t she heard a manly voice from very near and it was so harsh and clear so that she startled and looked at him. what the f**k you want out of my life. I will definitely tell you don’t worry, I replied. do I even know you? maybe may not be I told her. Who are you?. why you stopped the car. I responded very calmly I told you I will explain. Why you called me a s**t. I told you because I know you very well and you are a s**t. Buddy using this word a lot has nothing to do with me, stay away from me if don’t I will hit you. That’s OK with me and I know deserve it.
I was very lonely today and exhausted after overtime at work. I usually take the other route with no toll not by the bridge I started explaining to her. Today I took this route thinking I can enjoy some fresh air while driving across the bridge while inside the car and weather was agreeable too. I was enjoying the beauty of the Ventura Bridge and look at me what I ended up with. I basically came across a person and never wanted to be with and a situation too. What the hell what are you talking about? I can’t understand nothing did we meet anywhere before I cannot recollect anything that I saw your face before and I am not a s**t she exploded at me. I don’t know who you really are, but I stopped my car seeing you and I thought you were calling me. I was calling my grandfather not you. I heard you calling my name Christopher. My name is Christopher and that’s the reason I stopped the car. Wow so tell me, Mr. Christopher what do you need right now?. hey hey hey what are you doing? Are you trying to hurt me what’s going on? She walked towards me. I grabbed her by her ponytail and pushed her in to the car and simply drove away. She was screaming, and I was not even paying attention. I drove my car to my house and parked the car inside the car garage. I told her that the side door is open. You can either leave or come to the house it’s up to you. Why did you do this? Explain to me she yelled at me. I told her if you come inside I can explain and the neighbors are sleeping. she decided to stay inside the car. I went inside the house, left the side door of the house open, and I waved my hands when I was entering into my house. She did not come into my house almost 2 hours. She might have stayed inside the car or walked around in my backyard, which I was not sure as it was dark and I did not want to turn on the light as neighborhood in their deep deep and also it was nearly 2 AM night.
Nearly after two hours she came inside the house. There was no fear in her face. I am Christina and I’m very mad about what you did.
I am so sorry Christina I am hungry. Do you want pizza and there is pizza inside the refrigerator if you want fresh pizza I can get it for you. What is this you kidnapped me and offering pizza later on you may tell me to sleep with you. Do not worry. I sleep with the males so if you are female, you are safe don’t worry about that at least one thing you can be at ease. If that’s the story you intended to rob me for money?. It is a possibility which I cannot totally deny. Why you wanted to rob me? I told her I needed money. if that’s the truth why didn’t you take my purse and just leave when I was at the bridge. A different type of robber I may put it that way. Well then I am hungry and and I can eat anything basically anything. Are you allergic to anything?. Not really she said. Pepperoni is OK or regular pizza. Regular pizza is fine. Let me put it in the air fryer. Give me a few minutes. I heated up three slices of pizza and she ate all of them. She didn’t even ask me whether I needed a slice or not. There was utter silence for half an hour and I mean pin drop silence. She is the one broke the silence and asked me didn’t I need a piece of pizza, I’m sorry I was so hungry she said . I told her it is ok to be hungry and ate all three slices and I chuckled softly. I will heat up two slices of pepperoni as I am hungry too. Do you want juice or taqela I asked her. Do you have a joint here?. Not here, but I can offer you a cannabis chocolate bar within few hours. Do you have a beer? Yes for sure I have beers both in room temperature as well as cold ones. Cold one I prefer she said.
Christopher, you didn’t tell me why you did this to me. It doesn’t make any sense to me. Please explain.
oh well I can explain but you need to promise me you will stay until 8 AM in the morning. If I won’t stay here at present where I’m going at 2 AM especially from this neighborhood which I don’t know that well.
if that’s the case, have a seat please pick-the most comfortable seat or couch . Christopher I am not happy and I am so frustrated and I’m so mad with you so the comfortable seat is out of the picture. Then sit somewhere or lay on the sofa. I will sit by the chair. She laid on the couch facing towards me and asked for a blanket. I gave her a nice and cozy one. She covered herself with the blanket and made herself so cozy. I brought myself another blanket and wrapped around my neck and upper body and sat on a regular chair away from her. There was another couch close to her couch, but I decided not to sit very close to her and sat in a regular chair away from her in the living room.
Can I start the story?. Go ahead Christopher start your story or novel. I will listen. I was coming from my work and I was so exhausted. I don’t usually take that route most of the time. Today somehow I took that route for the good or bad God only knows. I was driving through the Ventura Bridge and I heard some one screaming on top of her lungs and calling her grandfather and looking towards the water as if she want to leap. The Bridge, 2 AM , and screaming with the slanting body from the bridge and it gave a scenario of a perfect painting of a suicide scene. I tried to distract you by calling horrible names so that you will turn towards me. I am not a psychologist and never handled a difficult situation like this prior. In nutshell I am not sure how much my behavior helped you or not? Look now you are with me and kind of safe too. Stop right there she told me. You kidnapped me Christopher you kidnapped me. oh well, I kidnapped a person who was attempting to commit suicide or in my own words I tried to save a lady middle of the night because I’m a knucklehead. The lady is in my couch at present, ate my pizza and under my cozy blanket. There were two more slices left after she ate. Do you have any beer she asked me. I have two Budweiser in the refrigerator. How many you need? I only need one beer for now . She gulped the beer so fast and belched with no shame. She started closing her eyes before the story telling ended. she went to deep sleep and was snorring.

The character of Christina remind me the message people benefit from second and third chances and may even surprise us with their goodness and potentials. Life is precious. Bridges are for lessening the distances not shortening the lifespans.
