TW: Self harm!

The sun is slowly coming up, the golden rays shimmering between the trunks of the ivory green forest slowly swept away the dark imprints of the night sky. Misty fog and frozen water droplets dangling at the small leaves are still there.


The sidewalks still appears to have some light dust of snow that's slowly turning into puddles. The town is slowly waking up . The early morning bells can be heard from the church . The newspaper boy is out on the road , something about him stands out maybe his ocean blue eyes and golden locks. His name is Avery.I met him a week ago , his family runs a bakery down the street.


The roads of the town is worn out , on both sides enormous buildings made of white marbles stands out towering the small houses, the colour of the marbles are slowly turning into a creamy yellow shade .

 
The flashy light boards and strong sounds of modern rock is replaced by white marbles and sweet melodies from the radio.The nearest theatre is atleast 23 kilometres away. Well that's too bad I really wanted to see 'Running on Empty Road'.


It's a 20 minute walk from my apartment to the small forest and the bus service has not started yet but now I can slowly see my apartment. It's a single storey building painted in caramel . I slowly opened the door and went in. Took off the coat and the boots, carefully placing the camera on the table.Tied my hair into a messy bun and went to the kitchen. The kitchen is a bit messy yet to do the dishes but I was kinda cold and tried from the walk and all the bickering.

 Socialising is not my thing and clearly not with her so I prepared some hot chocolate and poured it into a mug and sat by the fireplace  and  switched on the radio.The warmth from the burning wood and  the voice from the radio is cosy and calming during the early winter mornings.


The hoodie that I'm wearing now is cold from the snow .The scars are still there on the wrists ,the newest one is still there.I wish I could move on and I'm still trying yet at the depth of my mind he is still there even after everything thing I still can't forget and forgive him everything still reminds me of him of them . The letters have now stopped now that the adress is changed.


Deep down I know what I did was wrong , but I was scared and I wanted to end it all and I know noone is going to find him because it was our place and nobody is going to know. It's eating me out inside every second and I know this calmness that I'm feeling is coming to an end soon but until then I want to go on .
