From the scratch chapter sixA Story by Linda alexander
It was a regular Sunday evening except Christina is in my apartment and I was talking to my friend Ryan over the phone. Some one rang the call bell at front door. I opened the door and it was Mathew from work. I was surprised he usually won’t visit me without calling me. come on in. Have a seat please. What is there to eat Mathew enquired. Chinese food leftover from last night that will do of course you really sure I’m very sure about it. You don’t heat it up I will heat it up myself Mathew told as it was him who decides about food when he is at my house. I have a guest. Christine is her name. I didn’t know you have a girlfriend. She’s not my girlfriend. She came to see Joanna. Joanne was not there so she stayed with me She stayed with you because Joanna is not there stayed even at night. Please do not create unnecessary images in your head. I told you specifically she’s not my girlfriend just probably becoming a friend currently I do not have no girlfriend you know Mathew. I know I know Chris where is Christina? She’s taking a shower Mathew this is the Christina you ditched so when she comes do not show your emotions. She tried to commit suicide and I could save her as I was there when returning from work. So be gentle on her if you can please act like nothing happened. I am really scared if you open your mouth , if she gets too depressed or anxious would be few steps backwards from all the progress we gained. Please be careful Mathew when you talk especially. He didn’t say anything but because his face became pale almost like white paper. He was too scared to speak even. I was too nervous to speak to Christina when she came to living room after the shower. Christina came to living room. She saw Mathew and just started conversation as if nothing happened in their relationship. For the first time I was impressed by her courage and sportsman spirit in losing a love relation. Wow she is a character I kept on thinking about her almost day and night.
