Nothing to Lose
Johnny sank to the ground in front of Sina, howling and panting. Right in the balls!
Paula shouted jubilantly. It was dark, it was cold, but this good deed made Sina glow inside. She felt quite liberated. Her heart pounded in her chest as adrenaline surged through her. Johnny grimaced painfully, his friends looked at the girl like paralyzed rabbits. They didn’t know whether to attack or retreat, their indecision almost comical. Come on over here, you jerks, I’m in a really good mood today!
Sina shouted at them, looking as grim as she could. She had nothing left to lose, and her opponents should feel that. The boys shifted nervously, but not even one of them dared to step forward.
Sina, hurry up, the fucking train is about to leave!
Paula yelled urgently, pulling her back to reality. Sina grabbed her backpack and started running. She ran away from her old life, her boyfriend, her family, just away from here. Johnny called after her: You bitch! If I catch you, I’ll kill you! Cuuuuunt!
His voice cracked with pain and fury, but the threat only made her feet move faster. At his very last word, Sina and Paula finally jumped onto the train. The doors closed loudly behind them, sealing them off from the chaos and noise outside for good. Sina was so relieved that she knelt down and started to cry, her tears mixing with laughter that bubbled up uncontrollably.
When Sina opened her eyes again, she and Paula lay in each other’s arms, the gentle motion of the train rocking them softly. Outside, trees, hills, and houses shot past them like a living painting. Sina snuggled up to Paula’s purple sweater, which smelled so good of roses, and breathed in deeply. Her chest ached with relief, and her breathing finally began to slow. How much longer?
Sina murmured into Paula’s big breasts. A few hours,
was the brief reply from above. Okay...
Sina whispered, her voice trailing off as she let herself sink deeper into Paula’s warm embrace. Neither of them said another word for a while, lost in the simple relief of being together and free.
