Lifeless [ #wattys2016]

Unexpected

Lifting planks of wood and metal is a tough thing to do. However I need to find clues, anything to get me that step further to finding out what happened. Whilst I was lifting up a heavy piece of metal, which isn't a laughing matter. I looked underneath to my surprise finding nothing as per usual. Times like these I wish I had a friend to chat to whilst I'm doing these sort of things but then I remember life is cruel and took that away from me too. Too deep in my depressing thoughts that I didn't feel my shoulder colliding into another shoulder. I slowly drag my eyes up and came face to face with another a boy! He had the plumpest lips that were a coral pink, eyes that was the color of the ocean. That looked like they held more secrets than I could count. Hair brown that had that just woke up look but wasn't too forced. His skin was tanned like chestnuts. He looked to be 19. His jaw structure was well defined getting each feature right. From embarrassment my first instinct was to run and so I did.

I was walking down my usual path not expecting anything different to happen like any other day. I just look for clues that may help me with something when my shoulder collided into another shoulder. I slowly dragged my eyes up too come face to face with a girl! She had brown  unruly curls that looks like it hasn't been washed in years. Natural pink plump lips. Light brown eyes that were like same shade as a hazel nut. And just as I was about to say sorry, she ran! . Her dark chocolate skin glistening in the sun. She looked about 18. Now I had to chase after a girl I had no intention of chasing just to say sorry. My first thought was damn she's actually really fast. My second is that's she's got a nice butt. I was also thinking why am I chasing her, is she worth this stress. But something in those brown eyes drew me to her, as if she had been through something and it might be the same as me. With these thoughts I didn't realise that I was slowing down my pace. she was so far ahead now . But mum always taught me to say sorry to someone if I did them wrong or well she used to... and with this in mind I picked up my pace.

Come on Tara, come on you are almost there. looking back it seemed he was in thought  making him slow down and giving me the upper had or so I thought. Legs do not  fail me now not when I need you the most I kept chanting to myself. I could almost brush my hands against the cold door knob. I could push the door. Smell the usual stench that I am used to when I come in. Look in the fridge; eat stale bread and do the rest of my patrolling tomorrow , hope flickered in my chest for a brief moment. But life had other plans and that meant getting brutally tackled to the ground. I was badly gasping for oxygen but it was like I couldn't. My belly badly hurt, my brain was pounding at 60 miles per hour and then I saw his shadow  then  black dots invaded my vision before everything went black.
