Yellow - Coldplay
He walked towards the door in the pouring rain, hesitating before he rang the bell.
The sky was a hazy greyish yellow.
He finally rang it and waited for the door to open.
A woman opened it. Despite the years, he still recognised her. She now had her hair cut short and her face was older but she was still her. His childhood best friend, Alice.
She stood in shock for a moment before smiling and opening her arms for a hug. Theo stepped forward and she wrapped her arms around him.
'What did they do to you..' she muttered.
After what felt like eternity, they pulled away from the hug and Alice held Theo at arms length. Her eyes saddened as she got a proper look at him.
'Your skin and bones..'
'You turned into something beautiful.' Theo replied.
'I'm so sorry for leaving you, I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you.'
Theo just smiled.
'They treated you horribly and I barely gave you a goodbye.' Alice continued, 'You know I love you so.'
Theo stood in silence in the porch, soaked by the rain.
'Come inside, let's get you out of the rain.'
Theo stepped inside.
'How did you get here?' Alice asked.
Theo looked away from her, 'I drew a line, I drew a line for you and escaped.'
Alice gazed at him, 'I left you.'
'I'd bleed for you'
