NIA'S POV
"Hey mum."

"Nia! Such a blessing! You're back?! Your dad do anything bad to you?"

"No! I wouldn't allow him to. Except for the fact he gave me a tattoo of the gang, so now I can't really show my back."

It was a tattoo of what seemed to be a cobra in blood red. I'll never know why he decided that should be mandatory.
I haven't seen my mother or sister in ages, and I guess Lilac is doing well for the whole of my absence. I am her twin after all, even though my dad dyed my hair blonde so I can't be classified with her.

They lived in the midlands of Navia, so it'd take them 2 hours to get to the main parts of Eurena. I always loved mum's home, it was so dreamy and just beautiful, she had floral interior, and everything was so old-school, I liked it a lot.

"I missed you, and Lilac will be home in a few minutes, she said she has to get ready for a.. party? It's happening tomorrow.. Maybe it'll be good if you go!"

"What? No! I'm... fine without that."

"Don't be silly, just go! You could make friends, or maybe get a girlfriend~"

"Mum! That's hard for me to do, plus... I don't really like girls. Well, I do but.. I like boys too."

She looked a bit shocked from that. Of course she'd be shocked, she hasn't seen me in ages. But yeah, it was a very occurring change that came over me, and I have no clue how. I do have a story of how I figured that out.

—————————————————————————

It was... I think... July 2008, I must've been at the beach with Victor, because he would approve me of going anywhere, as long as my dad wasn't alerted about it, and I ran off for a bit because I got bored, and went somewhere called... the Blue Lagoon? I think that's what it's called. I then found a little spot for me to relax in to get away. It was pretty, from what I remember of it. Just a cave, and through that was another part of the beach. Just glistening water, and it was such a sight to remember.

"This is so much better than hanging out with whatever the fuck they wanted me to do."

And then I started to hear something... it sounded a bit like a melody, but.. it was like somebody was crying. I was trying to hear the words.. what they were singing, but it was all faint to me. It was a bit far from me, so I had to swim. I still couldn't hear it, so I tried to swim closer to the melody.
And I started to finally grasp onto what they were singing.

.. somebody.. please.. just let me free.
..free me of my pain.. and my misery.
My heart.. can't hold it in anymore.
Just let me...

It looked at me, like I wasn't supposed to be there. It was also looking at me weird, okay, you're looking a bit too much, just look away.

"Time to go... oh shit! Whoa."

And there it was, or there he was. I spent a few minutes trying to figure out what that was. But then it reappeared as soon as I tried to leave. It was a guy. Same age as me, could tell from the appearance. He was... nothing like anybody else I've ever seen... his eyes were something I'd always get distracted in, his hair.. those beautiful blonde curls.. his skin.. that sparkling skin... even his dress sense made him pretty.. almost like an surreal doll that came to life.. then it hit me right there.

I fell completely in love with somebody I don't even know.
