Her back arched. Nails dug into the skin. Sweat trickled. Eyes squeezed shut. Biting her lip hard. Tears streaming down her face. Her nails had previously been digging into the soft and smooth skin of her thighs. Opening her eyes she let out a shaky breath, getting up from the sweat and tear soaked bed she felt the t-shirt stick to her back, peeling it off she changed into a soft tank top and flowing shorts. Nova new that she would be even hotter outside her dorm room in august but she did not care she needed to escape the heat and thoughts that swarmed her in this room.
She hopped out of the vintage blue jeep once she had pulled to a stop at the closest beach, walking through the moon light down to the water.
*HIS POV*
had been trying to clear his head by going to the peaceful beach where he knew he could be alone. But when she walked to the edge of the water and threw her arms out in the moon light closing her eyes and breathing deep thoughts came back swelling into the once quiet brain. She had her hair flowing in the wind, her arms out wide, her head thrown back to have the moonlight glistens on her eyelashes. She was beautiful. She is beautiful. Chase knew a girl like that would be the kind to love but she would love a good boy, not a broken one like him.
"Hello" he spoke almost a whisper looking out at the water as wells, he didn't want to scare her. She still jumped. She still flinched.
"Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't realize anyone else was here" she spoke softly and dropped her arms immediately. Embarrassed. He wasn't sure why. She was beautiful, why be embarrassed?
"I can go" she says turning to leave, "no!" He says quickly and then tries to ease her confusion with "look if your here also at 2:30 in the morning then you must have just as good a reason as me, so sit, I don't mind really"
"Fine but only because I do" she says absolutely.
Nova took a seat 3 feet form Chase. 3 feet. Was what separated the two, so much space, but they were distant to collide. They needed to be near one another, they were people both broken but willing to break there own hearts just to repair someone else's that they loved. Both using unhealthy coping methods to save themselves form everything that was swirling threw there heads.
But neither knew that someone only 3 feet away was thinking the same thing.
