forget-me-nots

'May the flowers remind us why the rain was so necessary.'

"Ouch!" Honey had fallen into a bramble bush. She massaged her hip in an attempt to lessen the stinging sensation, but paid no actual mind to pulling out any of the thornes, too distracted by

the blessing of a sunny day in Walford.

It was rare for London to get a sunny day, let alone one with clear skies and lazy breezes. Luck for Honey, she had her day off Today and found herself stumbling around the woods.

This week she had her 8-month performance review with Mr. Lister And let's just say it didn't go as well as she thought it would it was Possibly of the worst weeks of her life. Her Billy had beaten her up until She couldn't walk, secondly, she fell over in the market as a result of getting beat up but you'd think there's nothing bad about falling from time to time but The thing was every one of the market traders didn't help her get up even though they could see her struggling to get up "she must have got pounded hard last night if she can't walk" shrimpy heckled.  She was beyond embarrassed and as soon she got up to cover her face and walked at a fast pace to the cafe.

She remembered trying to hold in her tears by drinking some coffee that didn't work so she walked back to the house with as much dignity as she had left. She soon realized that was a bad idea because as soon as she walked into the house

all she could smell was alcohol later seeing Billy almost passed out drinking a beer with about 5 empty bottles around him. She had honestly had enough of his drinking so taking a quick breather she put her bag down and started picking up all the empty bottles but as soon as she started doing this Billy yanked her by her collar to he could see her face " you pathetic disgusting woman" he bellowed. After that, all she could feel was a stinging sensation on her cheek and being pulled up so she was standing up. Honey knew as soon that happened she had no chance of trying to get out of his grip. It all happened so fast that all she could remember was getting a bottle to the head and her waking up to a bloody forehead.

So here she was, staggering around the woods on the outskirts of Walford; a slightly bloodied and pricked hip from the clumsy fall she had earlier. Off in the distance, she saw a stream with forget-me-nots dancing over the path of the water. The sun was shining over them in a way that made them dance over the stream like a ballet performance - putting on a show for only her and nature to see.

After hearing her camera's distinct 'POOF', the film slowly ejected. She took the developing photo card and ran the smooth texture over her hands.

Mesmerized by the picture that was appearing in her hands, it was no surprise that she almost dropped it when she heard the sound of footsteps walking over leaves in the distance.

Honey was highly baffled by the sound as she was in the center of the large woodland area, it was far enough away that there were no buildings or structures there. That's what made this place so beautiful.

As soon as she heard the footsteps stop and the sound of a camera taking a photo she knew it was a bit safe. So she walked to where she heard the sound only to find out it was only Jay. She had completely forgotten that this used to be there tradition that every Sunday no matter the weather they would walk into the woods take photos and just enjoy what mother nature created.

It was her favourite thing to do while they were together it was just so nice to get away from all the all the drama that Albert square had to offer.

"HONEY?" jay shouted to get Honey's attention obviously it worked. "Hey, jay what are you doing down here?"

"Just because we're not together anymore honey doesn't mean I can't come down here every Sunday I love coming down here it's so peaceful." "Right sorry" with a sad smile. "No your all right, are you, okay Honey, you look a bit uncomfortable" " yeah I'm fine just a bit tired with a fake smile. Jay knew down well something was up with her. "Right anyway I best be going ill see you later jay" " see ya, Honey".
