So how do I tell a story when it's about two completely different people, who have nothing in common. Whose experiences are clearly so different how they met for the first time... and of course then there's this thing about which one saw other first and when was that... sounds complicated yeah... but it's really not.
Maybe I should just start about my self. My name is Shay Carter Vasilyev.
I'm 22 years old and I used to live in a small city in Sweden... Right now let's pretend that i'm back to my crappy apartment in Sweden. Don't take it wrong I love it here even if this area where I live is completely war zone right now but I still love it. I love how much life there is going on outside and how many different cultures there are. Me myself... well i'm a gipsy. And now you are getting all kinda stereotypes popping in your head... well forget all of that cause I am what I am and I am not letting people group me into one thing that I might not even be. I live in a jungle made of high concrete houses that surround everything. It's like there is no escaping once you set your foot in here. You just feel stuck. Thing is my life was pretty ok. I have lots of friends who are like a family to me. And brother who I love to death... my parents... well... yeah... no... yeah... No... Don't much care about them. Believe me I got my reasons.
But the thing is that I've never really done anything with my life. 22 years old skipped school after 8 grade, spent majority time of my teenage sleeping on the streets benches or bushes... don't ask why... or ask away it was much safer to hide and sleep in bushes when you are a young girl... least nobody could find me there and do me harm not even my father when he was chasing me with a knife all those years but never once caught me. At one time after too many times him pulling same shit... well I changed the rules and boy he really didn't like when the tables were turned. That's when I left. I had nowhere to go but I just took always next train and went little everywhere while still of course living on the streets but luckily I found good people to hang with and to do bad stuff with but thanks to my friends I never completely lost my self or my morals... But it's pretty safe to say I'm little more than fucked up.
OK Enough about me! I know you are not here because of me... You are here cause you wanna know about . . I will get there.
It was bright sunny day. Me and two of my friends were going on board on a plane heading towards Turkey. This was first time ever away from Scandinavian and I was happy to get some break finally and see something different. It was always my dream to travel around the word. As we took our seats my friends Tina and Sabrina were already laughing at something I had no clear... My guess, they were already little drunk. Me I wasn't really a drinker so I passed... this time. Tina and Sabi they were crazy when it came down to alcohol... I mean those girls could drink and still act sober but only if they wanted to or had to. Which wasn't that often. They were good friends. I met Sabi first time when I was 15. I was running from my parents and hid under a bridge. She saw the whole thing and she just walked beside me and sat down and talked my brains out all night and ever since we've been like sisters. Tina I just met while ago. She moved to the same building so I helped her to move in and da daa here we are. If you ask me what we have in common... absolutely nothing except we're all little crazy.
We took taxi to hotel. It was late and all I wanted to do was sleep but you think they would let me. Next thing I feel someone jumping on my bed.
-Yo Shay! Don't you even dare to dream about dreaming. Get up, get up, get up! We are going to explore!
-Omg! Sabrina u so fucking retard sometimes... wait 'till u sleep...
-Tina i'm gonna borrow your dress! Sabrina shouted to Tina who was already fixing her make up.
3hours later:
We were at some club Tina were puking her guts out in restroom. Sabrina were on the floor dancing as usual making her self seen... after all she was quite sight that friend of mine. All I could do was smile while thinking about the weirdest and crazies things we've been through and everything we have managed to survive. I had been drinking little but drinking never was my thing doesn't mean I haven't have my share of it just that there was a lot of other things that was my thing and these days I tend to at least try walking clearer path cause i'm worst of them all in a whole different meaning if I don't limit my self. After stumbling back to hotel I just wanted to sleep forever. Even when morning came. But of course not. Do you want to know why? Sabrina wants to see flying monkeys which runs wild in the city. So I tried to tell -Yo Sabi there is no flying monkeys here... or don't really know if there's anywhere. She gives me this look like I were completely idiot and goes -öööh Shay didn't you watch the program about monkeys? I know u saw it!
OMG! You mean the freaking cartoon! Ok that's it ur dead to me! I'm going out! You give this painkillers to Tina when she finally stop puking! Im hitting showers and then i'm out exploring the city in daytime and when i'm ready you two better be in shape to get out!
After I was done with a little make up and I decided to wear my white summer dress which really wasn't my style at all. I usually wore something darker and I loved my black skinny jeans. But sometimes girl just need to feel extra feminine. I decided to let my dark hair loose since it was still wet. So I was all ready and shit and what do I see when I come out from bathroom. THEY ARE BOTH ASLEEP! Oh no this doesn't work at all for me. I went to bathroom and fillet large bucket with water. I went to room and emptied the whole bucket at them and shouted 'ADIOS MI LOCAS!' and left the room. I could hear them shrieking.
I was walking down the market. They were selling very beautiful items. They sold tea in every corner and they let you taste it. It tasted very different than I was used to and I loved it so I bought some to my little brother who I knew would love it. Everything was so new and fresh. I was going through some jewelry but everything were too flashy but then something caught my eye. It was simply really. It was a necklace with leather straps and it had this dark green eight shaped symbol made of some kind of stone. -Excuse me? What is this symbol, does it mean something? The old lady smiled at me and began to explain eagerly something in language I couldn't understand. Some teenage boy rushed to her side -Sorry about that my grandmother doesn't speak english but she still likes to chat with anyone. Old lady was still smiling when she said something to boy. -You asked something about this necklace? It's one of the Maori symbols. This one is called Pikorua. The eight-shaped single twist symbolizes the strength of the bond between two people, their loyalty and friendship. It signifies the spiritual merger of two people for eternity. Although people will take different paths in their lives they will always be connected and will return to each other. The twist is a powerful statement of loyalty, friendship, and love.
-Yeah don't know much about that but I still think it's a beautiful thought. I would like to buy that. How much? And as I started to give the old lady my money, she wouldn't take it. She just told something to her grandson who kinda observed me now. -Büyükanne told me that it is gift for you. She says that your path is already chosen and she would really much like you to have it. If you accept? It will bring you luck.
I was speechless at that point all that came out was -Are you sure? Old lady just smiled and put it around my neck anyway. -Thank you! You are very kind. Lady just gave me this knowing look which finally started to creep me out a bit so I moved on but I did really liked the necklace.
2 hours later:
I had walked a lot around. I was on my way back to hotel which I barely found my way back to. Thing is that i'm pretty paranoid person mostly because growing up I had to. But i'm pretty sure someone stalked me these last 2 hours. But then again sometimes my paranoia takes over me. But in my youth I had to take care of my self when I was on the streets so you learned to take look at your surroundings and keep an eye on every escape and learn to play every possible scenario in your head in case and think that everything is possible... so being paranoid has probably kept me alive this far... and of course never really trusting people 100%... people are fickle.
When I came back to hotel I found Tina and Sabrina lying on the pool. It is safe to say that they weren't kinda girls who were interested about culture or museums. I was...not just enough to actually learn something coz hellooou I skipped school after eight grade...so nope. Mine and Sabis education history is pretty much same. Except even she got some education while she sat in prison...nothing serious, just little teenage angst... Tina well she's about to graduate to social worker... go figure. We are weird group of friends... you should meet the rest back home.
5 days later:
Well at this point we had pretty much done it all and seen stuff that we wish to unseen now. But I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. Tina and Sabi flew home earlier. Tina would start as intern in 3 days. And our beloved Sabrina had to get back to court in 2 days...She actually had to ask permission to leave the country for this.
So you might ask yourself what am I still doing here? Well actually i'm also leaving in 2 days but not home. I've saved money for this for a long time to be able to travel some and see the word. So in 2 days my flight is going towards Israel. It's not like anybody is waiting me back home so i'm in no rush.
So day 9 and I'm strolling down the street like I'm some kinda wonder queen except I have no clue where I'm going. Because someone is following me...Walking walking walking oh shit...I turn and i swear the ugliest guy I've ever seen smiles at me and when I turn around everything went black. FUCK MY LIFE! !
