Joella's perspective:
"I just think I'd be better off with someone else" he snapped. I have no idea where this was coming from, I'd had a perfect day, landed a job at the famous Chinese restaurant on west 17th street, I even picked up a rose quartz I found on the street because everyone knows its good luck finding a lost crystal, and then this happened. "Is there a someone else?" I asked, and he just looked away shamefully, that's when I could tell what his answer was going to be. "Okay" I took a deep breath as I drew my eyes to his fidgeting fingers, "So you're just breaking off our engagement of 10 months like that?", "I'm sorry, it's not you it's me". Of course that's what he said. This is so classic Fred. He began to mumble some words but before I could process them I grabbed my tote bag and walked out of the apartment.
What was he thinking? We'd been together for 4 years and just recently engaged and he went and cheated on me like it was the easiest thing ever. I guess it's for the best, eventually things will work out, right?
I walked through Times Square's crowded streets, sinking in my thoughts and not paying attention to the road as I found myself on the floor being hit by a 2 series Gran Coupe BMW of faded white. The next couple minutes flew past as I felt my head lay on the embrace of soft supple palms. As I opened my eyes I scanned a woman wearing a pink sweater over a shirt with pastel yellow shorts and dirty black vans. She had braids of henna brown with hair rings shaped like butterflies and I was suddenly drawn to her brown eyes which seemed to have sparkles in them. She was like a fairy. "I AM SO SORRY I DON'T KNOW WHERE I WAS LOOKING, ARE YOU HURT? DO YOU NEED SOMETHING? WHAT CAN I DO? ANYTHING" she quaked rapidly, "It's okay, don't apologize" I spoke as I scanned her face and physique, still laying in her palms. "Who are you" I chimed as I slowly stood up and she followed, answering "I'm Erin Boyd, and you?" she inquired, "Joella Jewett"
Yes, this woman did almost end my life, but suddenly as I felt her palms, I felt calm and as if my life was fulfilled.
