Time going slowly

Chapter 1- No one's there

Nelly's POV.

"I was thinking about you, thinking about me, thinking about us, what we gonna be? Open my eyes, it was only just a dream! I travel back, down the road, will you come back? No one knows; I realize it was only just a dream!' I sang while playing my piano. This song was the only thing I could actually think of, the only think that could keep my mind away from the world at this moment. Why did this song have to be so addicting?

"Sweets! Come down!" my mom yelled. I sighed, and got up. What did she want now? I knew the 'Sweets' was just a cover up for something.. I just had to figure out what. i contuined to whisper-sing the song as i headed to the kitchen, which wasn't to far since we lived in an apartment.

"Yes mom, you called?" I asked. I went in and saw my mom with a cruel smile on her face.

"Yes, in fact I did... I need you to set up the table for two, remember Daniel is coming." she sighed. I turned around and fake-gagged from hearing those words. My mom left the room and I set the table up. Two plates, tow wine glasses, two forks, two knives, and two napkins. 

"It's set up!" I shouted. i grabbed my jacket, beanie, and converse and headed down the hallway. I went down to the first floor and headed out. These walks used to be fun.. Until my best friend, my only friend moved away. He was the only one who understood me, or tried to anyway. I kicked a stone and continued down the street, consumed in my thoughts. 

The wind picked up and drops of water strated falling. Nothing new in Holmes Chapel, it was new when it didn't rain. But those days were bearable when he was here. Everything was bearable when he was here. Sure, I supported him.. but some times it was just to plain hard.

"WHY!!!! WHY ME! HAVEN'T I GONE THROUGH ENOUGH!?" I shouted at the sky. I fell down to the ground as i started sobbing quietly. My life was now plain torture; it was a endless, dark tunnel with all the lights stolen and never being replaced. Too many dark times for just a girl of 19. By this time, I was completely soaked, but nothing could change not. Not one single ounce of rewind would make the soaking go away. The tears would never go away, every night I would still cry myself to sleep..

Now I wish I could go and say 'JK! this is all totally fake!' but it isnt. My life is hollow and empty, cold. There was nothing I could do about it, and not even he could change it. There was nothing to change, and nothing would be able to.

"Jaz? Harry? Dad?" i asked softly, looking around as I felt a presence around me. 'What are you kidding Nelly? Nobody's there, nobody is going to comfort you, nobody is going to say it's okay.' I thought to myself. 'You're alone, and you always will be.' I looked forward, couldn't someone just be there for me? Even for a second? 

Time was always there to laugh me in the face. It went to fast for the good things, and so slow for the bad moments. Which the bad moments happened all to often in my life now. I stood up and started walking slowly to the apartment. I grabbed a bite from the supermarket to fill my empty stomach and soon entered the hallway silently. I heard giggling coming from the kitchen and slowly, but carefully walked into my room. I sat down at the Piano, thinking of a tune and I just randomly started playing.

"Since I've been solo, i couldn't stop. My regrets everywhere, My tears are like a raindrop. Nothing is the same, time's just slowing me down. I can't handle it, I think i'll just skip town. There's nothing for me left, nothing but pain and regret. Couldn't things be like they were before, or is it to late to be wanting more?" I started singing as tears flowed down my face. My piano recorded the words and the tune. 

I went to lay on my bed and a war intterupted inside my head.

"No, there is no point, they are never going to come back." One side said.

"But he promised that he would come back, he promise." The other pointed out.

"If he kept true to his promise, he would have kept it and he would have been here." the first one sneered.

"I'll always keep waiting, he promised... He's never broken one before." the other one said softly.

"He forgot about you, it's no use. It's been three years. He forgot you, there are more important people in his life then you.. You know it too." the first sneered again. 

"But.. But, he said.. He said he-" the second one started.

"He doesn't, it was only with your fairy tales and in the clouds! He never did and now never will! Face it, he forgot about you... He's not coming back." the first one said, winning the argument. I lay there on my side thinking.. The first voice was completely right...
