Adrian POV
Once we got back home I helped her take all the bags inside. I set them up on top of the counter. I still didn't know how to break the silence, I couldn't think of anything to say. I look over at Autumn and it looks like she's thinking the same thing. God, why could this not be awkward! Ugh! Well here goes nothing. "So how was shopping?" Great! *mental slap in the face* I tried to cover up my stupid question by asking another. "Did you enjoy the shoppes?" Oh god! How can I ask that? How could she enjoy something after what had just happened to her, happened to us, she just got kidnapped, close to rape and now she's miles away from home for crying out loud. Damn! I need to kick some sense into me!
"Adrian?" I heard a small voice say bringing me back to reality. I had zoned out that I had not even noticed Autumn had asked me a question. Now what was it?
"What was that? Sorry I blanked out" I said sheepishly. She giggled and shook her head.
"I said that I did enjoy shopping and looking around in the shoppes surprisingly I was able to take my mind off of the uhh situation for a while." She looked down shamefully saying the last part. "What about you, how did it go?" she said trying to mask her pain.
"Well it was nice you know. I saw some 'old' family of mine. And Gracie" I laughed at the last part.
" You sure do know a lot of people. Gracie was sweet she helped me shop today, it was fun. It must be nice, to have family and friends that love you and would do anything for you," she smiled. She was right, Gracie was always like my little sister, she was a year younger than me so we practically grew up together. Her aunt and my mom are such close friends.
" Yea I don't know what I would do without them. What about your family and friends?" I asked. When I got no answer I turn over to her and see her deep in thought, just sitting there starring at her palms. She looked so peaceful, I didn't want to interrupt her, so I decided to leave her there and walk upstairs leaving her with her thoughts.
Autumns POV
He had left. I hadn't realized he was gone until I noticed the heavy silence I was standing in. I was daydreaming about me going to the beach one time when I was 7 years old. I had gone with my nana. I remember begging and begging my parents to take me because I had never been to one and I had seen a picture of it. My parents kept saying no because it wouldn't fit in their schedule and it was far from the city. Later on that week my nana had came to visit, when she heard about my desire to go to the beach she had started up our packing to go for a trip and bought me a cute two piece bathing suit with sunflowers on it and matching sandals with a huge sunflower in the middle. When we first arrived at the beach the first thing I did was rush out of the car, took off my sandals and sprinted towards the beach. That had been a bad idea since the sand was scorching hot and all I did was hop from foot to foot towards the ocean. As soon as I got in, the water rushed through my toes causing my toes to sink into the sand. The feeling was nice and soothing. I smelled the air and could smell the salt in the air the sweet ocean smell. You could hear the seagulls and the waves of the ocean crashing into the rocks. I felt like a mermaid just swaying in the water. I felt free and alive like a bird soaring in the sky. My nana had told me that she had found her true love at the beach, she felt that the beach was magical and it brought happiness to others. I was determined to find my true love at the beach just like nana. That day when the sun had set and the sky was filled with reds, pinks and blues I had decided that the beach was my new favorite place so I made my nana promise me that we would go at least every month because I needed to find my true love. But my nana got sick the following weeks after our trip and we couldn't go and I was upset but not because we couldn't go but because we knew she wouldn't make it. I would lose my nana soon and I had no way of stopping it. Couple of months later we had lost her, the doctors had explain why we did but I was to young to understand it. I had lost my Angel that day, and I swear that the sky looked gloomy and sad but that was just my seven year old self thinking that. So I decided never to go back to the beach, it would bring back so many memories that I didn't want to remember. Maybe I would go back one day, and maybe I will find my true love one day at the beach but I didn't know when.
