She Had The World [ Lgbtq+ ]

If I show you the world, will you show me the sky?

Willow's POV

I looked up at the moon, it was that time of the evening when the day met the night. Making the sky a beautiful gradient of gold, peach pink and dark violet. It was full moon, and the sun was just setting. The trees in the park were black shadows against the sunset. I stood beside a big oak tree, watching the sunset, breathing in the cold autumn air. I was just about to continue my walk to the coffee shop when I saw something.

It was something about her that really caught my eye. Maybe it was her unusual hair, the way she looked so calm, so isolated from everybody else. She just sat there, her legs too short to reach the ground. Carefully she swung back and forth, back and forth. It was a subtle movement, barely noticeable, but I noticed, I noticed every small detail about the lonely girl on the swing. I stood there for a while, watching her. Yeah maybe I was a bit creepy, she would probably freak out if she knew a stranger watched her from behind. I didn't feel creepy though, I didn't look at her in a scary way, I was just interested about her. I leaned against the rough bark of the big oak tree and a small cloud formed in front of my mouth as I breathed out the cold autumn air.

She had short blue hair, sapphire blue. I wasn't one to look at colours as just blue, red, yellow, how am I supposed to know what shade of the colour is then? Her hair was just as beautiful as a sapphire, maybe even more beautiful, so I found it very fitting to see her hair as sapphire blue, instead of just boring old normal blue.

I soon realised that I have stood beside this tree watching her for 3 minutes already. I couldn't just stand here forever, even though all I wanted to do right now was to stare at her sapphire blue hair.

I started to wonder why was she just sitting there, all alone in the cold autumn evening? She just seemed to watch the park in front of her.

To just sit down, watch and think is not something that most people can do to an extent amount of time without getting bored. This girl already fascinated me, I wanted to get to know her, at least I could try.

I was just about to approach the swing as I stopped myself. I couldn't do this, it will end up the same way as it always does. I'll never be able to have friends, something about me always puts people off. I was fine with that though, I had always been alone. I was used to being rejected by people I tried to befriend. This girl would be the same as everyone else. So why even try? I'm just a failure anyways. But what if she somehow was different? My two sides fought in my head for a while until I concluded that I didn't care, I didn't care about being a failure. Although that voice was still creeping in the back of my head, but I ignored it.

I approached the swings and sat down on the cold swing right beside her, I didn't look at her, but I saw from the corner of my eye that she moved her head just slightly and glanced at me quickly before looking away. I dug down my vans into the sand, not knowing what to say. I raised them so the sand ran off, revealing the dirty, checkred pattern underneath. I glanced at her, she stared on some trees far away, seeming uncomfortable. I had to do something, so I raised my head and looked directly at her. My heart beating fast, I needed this to go right.

"Hello" I said, smiling at her weakly.

"Hi" She answered with a soft voice, looking at me slightly. No expression what so ever in face, she didn't look happy, nor did she look sad.

She looked at me through long sapphire blue bangs who hid her eyes. Her bangs were like glistering waterfalls falling over her face and hiding the treasure behind them. I wanted to see that treasure, I wanted to see what her eyes looked like. I was already sure they would be pretty like a treasure.

Now that I got to see her face, I noticed that she was honestly very beautiful. I wasn't into girls, but if I was a guy, I would be very attracted to her. In my eyes, she was perfect, her rose lips slightly parted. The way her nose curved and her perfect jaw. Her sun-kissed nose had small freckles, she was really a work of art.
