All Alone by hima (most read book in the world .TXT) 📕

doors were wide open when I reached home.
I took a deep breath and entered to face anything.
I heard a little voice crying something like 'Meg home.' The little girl hugged my legs and she is repeating the same words happily. I tried to run away into my room and shut the world behind but the little thing never let me go, her eyes full of happiness.
Every feeling I suppressed all through the day weighed so much that I broke down into tears. She wiped my tears with her little hands and planted wet kiss on my cheek. She saw me crying even harder and then she broke into tears to hugging me like a desperate kid for her Mom.
I couldn't bear to see a little one cry. I cradled her in my arms and hushed her. After some time she was asleep in my arms. I carried her to the couch and laid her there when I noticed Dad standing near the counter and looking at me.
"I'm sorry." I said.
I didn't know why I said that.
"It's me who has to apologize. Don't say that Meg, you have every right to be mad at me but I hope you'll understand why I did what I did." he said.
I walked over to him and hugged him.
"I don't want to know anything Dad, All I want is My family to stay together." I said crying.
He patted me gently.
"Freshen up. We'll have something to eat." he said.
I felt alive by taking away some of the burden by crying.
When I reached downstairs I saw Stacie nibbling with her food. She looked innocent and fragile. She saw me coming down and gave her big smile spreading all through her face. How can I be mean to her? She is just a little girl who doesn't anything other than smiling when someone smiles and crying when someone cries.
Dad prepared me sandwiches and some fries.
"Dad, what about her..?" I lost words to phrase it.
"She died of some serious disease." He mumbled.
"I'm sorry." I said looking at her.
She saw me looking at her and she took one piece of her bread and offered it to me. I smiled at her.
"Who is taking care of her when you are at office?" I asked.
"I'm leaving her at the day care center near by our office." he said.
She spilled the milk while trying to take huge gulp at a time. Dad hurried to get a cloth. I took her out of her chair and removed the cloth because she spilled all over. She smiled and played with my curls all the time while I did this. Dad cleaned up the table while I dressed her into new one's. She kissed me at the end.
Dad smiled at me and said that she likes me. I smiled at the thought. I made her cry,a day back and she likes me now.
I excused myself saying that I need to finish assignment. I turned on my computer and an saw an instant message from Ryan
Rockstar: "Are you alright?"
Megan:"Why do you ask that?"
Rockstar: You are so lost in your own world today
Megan:I was so worried about how to win the bet
Rockstar: Don't worry you will lose anyway.
Megan: Let's see.
Rockstar:I thought you'll be home today.
Megan: Parents are back home.
Rockstar: I got to go, you know the girls are lining up for me.
Megan: haha! they have pretty bad taste.
Rockstar: Oh! really.
Megan: bye, go on.

I switched the window to word to work with my assignment when someone else pinged me. It's Julia this time.
Jules: Got a plan?
Megan: about what?
jules: About the bet, Idiot.
Megan:Oh!
Megan: Do you know who he is going to ask for date?
Jules: I guess it's Mary. I heard her call to him.
Megan: Good
Jules:Is there a plan?
Megan: Yes, I'll tell you first thing in the morning.
Jules: Can't you tell now? you know i'm very eager...
Megan: Do you remember when Mary freaked out when a puppy came to her.
Jules:so?
Megan: Ryan is going to gift her a puppy.
Jules: Why would he do that? he knows very well how to impress Mary kind of girls.
Megan: He won't dumbass but you'll give her in the name of him.
Jules: Wow! meg.
Jules: Hey, I got to go. He is coming now.
I switched to my assignment when I heard someone behind me. She is pulling my chair to get my attention.
"Hi, sweetie. What do you want?" I asked her.
She stared at the monitor with big wide eyes. I laughed at her amazement. I scooped her up and sat her in my laps. I closed the window I'm working and opened another blank page. She pressed each key and clapped as if she achieved something and laughed. It's nice to see someone genuinely happy in this home. She played for a while when I heard the ping again. I opened the window again and saw Ryan messaging me.
Rockstar: what's up with you girls, yo are acting all weird. Jules left in a hurry on seeing me.
Megan: how would I know?
Rockstar: You are up to something.
Megan: May be you are hallucinating.oooooooooo
Stacie pressed 'O' and clapped her hands.
Rockstar: What's that?
Before I could say anything. she pressed with her both hands
Megan:huhuhuhuhuhu
Rockstar: what's with you girl?
Megan: Nothing. I got to go. prtpdedgsffd
I logged out of my terminal instantly.I thought about how confused he'll be because of me. I laughed at the thought. Seeing me laugh she pressed more keys thinking that it was what made me happy.
I turned off my lappy and carried her to my bed. She saw everything in my room with doubled interest. I saw her staring at the teddy bear with longing. I gave it to her, she kissed me on the cheek. She played with it and fell asleep on my bed after some time feeling tired. I stared at her, she looked so much like me except her eyes and blond hair.
I dozed into sleep beside her. As I am a light sleeper I heard Dad coming up for checking after us in the midnight. All these years of restless sleep made me like that.


I woke up and saw her still in deep sleep beside me. I hurried to my daily activities. She was still asleep when I got dressed and ready to go. I carried her to dad's room.
"She's still asleep." I said.
Dad tried take away the teddy from her hands but she held it tight to her heart. i saw it smiled to myself.
"Dad, I have to go."
"I made you breakfast, it's on the table." He said tentatively.
Dad made me breakfast. Wow! that's really a good thing I thought. None ever made me breakfast in all those years I remember. I ate eagerly and ran to the bus stop.
"All set." Jules gestured.
When Mary entered the bus we put forward our plan. She took it eagerly when Jules said that the gift was from her brother. She jumped hitting her head to the top of the bus. The puppy jumped from the box running allover the bus frantically. She is a white Pomeranian dog with patches of black near the eyes and like socks for the legs.
"She is cute." I said.
"You like it?" Jules asked.
I nodded.
"I brought it for you, When my dog gave birth to her. I thought of giving it you." she said.
"Really, thanks." I said surprised.
We caught her and placed her in the box so that it would be easy to carry and keep her safe until I take it home.
Our plan worked out. Mary ignored Ryan and gave him evil eye when he tried to talk to her.
We played with the puppy in the noon since we don't have any classes today.
"Stacie would be happy to see it." I blurted out loud.
"Who's Stacie?" Emma and Jules asked.
Why did I say that? I tried of thinking of something to say to them when luckily Ryan saved me.
"So, girls having a good time, huh?" he asked.
"I know about what you did?" he said.
"What did we do?" I said.
"Don't play smart." he said.
"By the way, you lose." he said pointing at me.
We frowned at him.
"Sophie," he called out loud.
"Yes, darling." Sophie stepped behind from him.
"What?" We shrieked.
Sophie is the next best girl in the class though I doubt she ever used at least a mg of her brain.
"Let's go." he said.
She hopped on to his bike and they left us in terrific speed.
"Stupid girl, spoiled our plan." Jules said.
I sighed and we together headed to our buses.
I thought of how Stacie would react when she would see the puppy. Our bus skidded to a sudden halt. Everyone stared to see what stopped the bus.
Ryan blocked the way of the bus. He walked towards our bus and straight towards us three in the last seat.
"You lost." he said.
I nodded.
"What's with you? Do you have to stop the bus for just saying that?" Jules shouted.
She hushed her.
"You are going on a date with me, Tomorrow at 7pm. I'll pick you at your home." He said.
"Are you kidding?" I said.
"You promised to do whatever I said." he said.
"But not this." I said stubbornly.
"You are afraid that you would fall for me."
"I'm not."
"Then accept it."
"I'll come."
He smiled triumphantly and walked away.
Jules was more in shock than anyone. She never said a word again.
I waved her goodbye.
As I walked towards home, my anticipation grew wider as I thought of how happy Stacie would look.
As I opened the door, she ran towards me.
After hugging her. I pointed her towards the box and with eyes full of wonder she opened it.
She clapped her mouth when she saw the puppy.
I brought it out of the bus and showed it her. She gently rubbed her fur and clapped laughing aloud. It makes me feel happy to see her like that.
Dad came into the hall and saw us. She ran to dad and pointed at the puppy in my hands. He smiled at her.
She played with her sometimes when dad asked.
"What is her name?" he asked.
"Stacie will give her name." I said.
She said 'bibi' jumping and turning around,clapping her hands.
"Bibi.." I said rubbing her fur.
When the puppy barked on hearing it's name. Stacie jumped laughing and tried to bark like her which made me and Dad laugh out loud. She saw us and laughed even more.
It felt like a regular happy family only it was not. I know dad is as much worried about Mom as I'm.


I saw Mom crying and sitting alone in a dark corner and then suddenly the scene changed, Mom and Dad are fighting in my home as usual. I smiled at them looking
