Cursed By Fate

Carolina was getting worried. Laura had been locked in her room for hours, and she hadn’t come out or eaten anything. Carolina had tried to talk to her, but Laura just cried and told her to leave her alone. Carolina didn’t know what was going on, but she knew something was seriously wrong.

She decided to try again, knocking softly on Laura’s door. “Laura, please come out. You need to eat something. You can’t just stay there forever.”

” I said you should go away !!!. I don’t want to see or talk to anyone or eat anything!” Laura screamed on top of her voice.

Carolina sighed and tried again. “Laura, I’m worried about you. Please talk to me. What’s going on?”

Still, there was no response. Carolina was starting to get concerned. She had never seen Laura like this before. She was always the strong one, the one who could handle anything. But now, she was locked in her room, crying and refusing to come out.

Carolina decided to take matters into her own hands. She went to the kitchen and made some tea and toast, hoping that Laura would at least eat something. She took the tray to Laura’s room and knocked again.

“Laura, I’ve brought you some food. Please, just open the door and take it.”

This time, the door opened a crack, and Laura’s tear-stained face appeared. “Just leave it there,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Carolina was taken aback by Laura’s appearance. Her eyes were red and puffy, her face was pale, and her hair was a mess. She looked like she had been crying for days.

“Laura, please talk to me. What’s going on?” Carolina asked, trying to keep her voice gentle.

” Don’t worry Carolina, I will be fine. It’s just something I have to deal with Laura said.

” I’m your best friend you know. So please I beg of you just tell me about it, you can’t be going through this alone without me being aware”

Laura just shook her head and closed the door, leaving Carolina standing there with the tray of food. Carolina sighed and put the tray down, wondering what she could do to help her friend.

She knew Laura was going through something, but she had no idea what. All she could do was be there for her, and hope that eventually, Laura would open up and talk about what was wrong.

The following morning, Carolina decided to give Carl a call to find out what happened between them since Laura had refused to come out of her room or talk to her about it.

” Hey Carl,” Carolina said over the phone to Carl who was sounding so down.

” What’s up? ” Carl replied.

” What’s going on between you and Laura ?” Carolina went straight to the point without hesitating or asking if Carl was fine.

“it is not something I will want you to know about except if your friend tells you about it Carl replied.

” You know what Carl, you can just tell me about it because my friend is not ready to tell me anything. She just locked herself in there refusing to eat or talk to me ” Carolina said.

” I don’t know what to do about it because I would be the last person she wants to talk to at the moment, ” Carl said.

” Are you not the best that happened to her like she used to say again because I don’t understand you both ” Carolina replied. ” Did you guys break up ?” she asked.

” No, we didn’t. What is happening to our relationship right now is more than the heartbreak of break-up and I’m the cause ” Carl answered.

” I won’t take it lightly with you if anything should happen to my friend, I will get you arrested” Carolina threatened and ended the call.

Carolina went back to Laura’s front door to check if she had eaten or probably she was ready to talk to her but no she was not.

There is nobody Carolina could call to tell about what’s going on. Carolina was so worried about Laura because she had been silent for the past hours crying or not talking.

Carolina was getting more and more worried by the minute. She had never seen Laura like this before, and she didn’t know how to help her. She decided to try again, knocking softly on Laura’s door.

“Laura, please come out. You need to eat something. You can’t just stay in there forever,” Carolina said, trying to sound gentle but firm.

There was no response. Carolina sighed and tried again. “Laura, I’m worried about you. Please talk to me. What’s going on?”

Still, there was no response. Carolina was starting to get concerned. She had never seen Laura like this before. She was always the strong one, the one who could handle anything. But now, she was locked in her room, crying and refusing to come out.

Carolina decided to take matters into her own hands. She went to the kitchen and made some tea and toast, hoping that Laura would at least eat something. She took the tray to Laura’s room and knocked again.

“Laura, I’ve brought you some food. Please, just open the door and take it,” Carolina said, trying to sound calm.

“Laura, please talk to me. What’s going on?” Carolina asked, trying to keep her voice gentle. ” You didn’t even bother taking the food I brought for you earlier”.

After a lot of persuasion, Carolina sighed and put the tray down taking away the one she left there earlier, wondering what she could do to help her friend.

Just then, Carolina’s phone rang. It was her mother. “Hey, sweetie, how are you doing?” her mother asked.

“I’m worried about Laura, Mom. She’s been locked in her room for hours, crying and refusing to come out. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m getting really worried,” Carolina said, trying to hold back her tears.

“Oh, dear, that doesn’t sound good at all. Have you tried talking to her?” her mother asked.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Yes, Mom, I’ve tried everything. But she just won’t talk to me. I’m starting to get concerned,” Carolina said.

“Well, sweetie, sometimes people just need some time and space to work through their problems. But if you’re worried, you could try calling her mother or father to see if they know anything,” her mother suggested.

Carolina thought about this for a moment. It was a good idea. But Laura’s parents were dead. ” Have you forgotten I told you that Laura’s parents are dead ?”

” Oh, I’m so sorry dear, I forgot

“Thanks, Mom. I’ll find a way around it,” Carolina said, feeling a sense of hope.

She hung up the phone thinking of what to do.
