The Indie girl next door

Ahri's POV(1 month ago)

I spent days sitting on the swings waiting for the sunset to arrive as the wind flowed through my hair .

I spent my nights on the top of the roof thinking of the endless torment of my deepest fears .

One day when I was swinging to the peak , saw a boy . Sunken eyes , pale skin with a man bun. He wore a black hoody and has slim body .

For 4times I reached to the peak of the swing glancing towards him .

The 5th time our eyes connected . The world came to a slow . I stared at him with innocent eyes and he showed me an angered look ,but behind the deceitful look comes the esoteric look from his eyes That told me the meaning of oblivion

The 6th swing I promised myself to figure his name . As I was about to open my mouth the sliding door to his house opened . Came what I think was he's dad

They were fighting with each other as I kept swinging back and forth .

I heard a thump coming from them . Next thing I knew he was on the ground , he's dad was pointing at him in disgrace. The dad went inside as he laid there looking at the sky with a tear that slid down he's scrapped cheekbone .

Night fall came and went to the roof of my house . The Stars shined the night with the moonlight supporting it .

It was a cold night , I looked around and saw the sight of him on his roof with his head down and arms covering his face .

I went back inside and crumpled a piece of paper ." This is my chance ." I went back to the roof and he was still sitting . I threw the paper ball at him to catch his attention.

The ball curved down to the bushes . He noticed the sound of the crackling of the bush and turned to see me .

We were both just staring into each other's on top of the roof Staring at the stars. The next day i was on the front porch of my house with the whistling wind and the taps of my finger on my phone screen scrolling down .

from distant voices interrupted the silence. " Where do you always go ! do you even care about your own family !" a womans voice said . " Well what do you think !" said him ." I think you're doing drugs with your friends !"

" Hmm , Mother Knows Best ." he said in a sarcastic tone .

" Get out of my house !" the woman pushed him out of the house and he bowed. He ran from his house with his hands trying to stop his tears from falling .

I followed him and ended at the playground in our complex .
He was alone on the swings with his face in his phone .

I was hiding behind a pole trying to not get noticed-but I couldn't help not knowing his name . I walked out from hiding and walked towards him .

He looked my way and swung .
" Hey , I'm Ahri wha-"
" leave me ." He said interrupting my sentence .

I turned and walked away "wait ! I'm Terra ."
"You're the girl that was starring at me from your swings . You're the girl that was out on the roof at night .... Your the girl that I let inside ." Terra said.

"I know how you-"
"I know , I saw it in your eyes yesterday . " I looked up at the sky with the dark clouds above.
"We should probably get going ." I said "where would I go ?"
"Come with me ."

We walked together to my house as the rain came down .
" Hey mom this is Terra . He lives 2 house down . "
Terra gave a gentle wave at my mom . "Alright don't do anything stupid honey ."

We walked to my room . "Want a towel ?" He nodded up and down .
I grabbed a towel from the bath room and went back to my room .

He was taking off his shirt. "What the hell!" I said covering my eyes with the towel." You could've warned me !"
He smiled . I threw the towel at him and left .
