Dear Forever,
Something strange happened today. I was brought back to the day the accident took place. It wasn't really of where it did, but how it did.

Remember when I said nobody ever dared to mess with Christopher? Well, I was so wrong. Class was dismissed and we were tidying our lockers. I wanted to ask him to tutor me in Math. Reason being, I failed my Math last semester and if I carried on like that, I'd be asked to retain for a year. I really don't want to waste a year learning the same things with the same textbooks all over again. So I had no choice but to work even harder to get desirable results. "Hey, Christopher. Could you.." and even before I could finish my question, a group pupils came charging towards us.

They were like an angry mob, chasing after our lives after we'd offended them. But I didn't know anyone of them, their faces were totally unrecognized by me.
"We're here to take revenge." One of them said. And after that, they came nearer and nearer to us. Christopher pushed me away and asked me to go, get away from there and he asked me to stay out of his affairs from then on.

I didn't go, I was worried, worried that he'll be badly bruised. But staying there was of no help, I just stood there and witnessed the scene where he was beaten to a pulp. They punched him in the stomach till he regurgitated bright red blood, a lot of it. They kicked his groin several times. I could tell that he was in very much pain and was on the verge of tears. The blood.. It seemed ridiculously familiar, it was as if I had seen that much blood before.

Images started forming in my mind abruptly. They were sweeping across my brain vaguely but I could tell that they were the ones from that accident. Don't tell me, my memories were coming back. At that very moment, I felt a piercing pain. I was having a terrible headache, it was as if I were suffering from a migraine. I tried to calm down, and stop thinking but it was almost impossible to. It kept coming back, the pain and the blood that was on me. I couldn't take it anymore, I screamed at the top of my voice.

A teacher came to help Christopher up, and she asked me if I was alright. She thought that I screamed because of the trauma caused by all the bashing. I told her I was perfectly fine, and I went home after that. Then, I was still having the major headache, even till now. But the pain has gone down tremendously, now. God knows when it would come back. My guess would be, soon enough.

I think I'll go have a nap. Perhaps, it'll make me feel better.
