polarize ~ tyler joseph fanfiction

Prologue / One

I walk underneath the bridge quietly, watching my breaths puff in the winter air and listening to my boots crunching thick snow. Sweet Columbus to others, cursed Columbus to me.
This stupid town, why must every trouble occur here? So many memories unfold before me, at every destination I look.

I hold back tears as I think about my dad. Why did I have to watch my life collapse?
I feel a slow, cold sensation roll down my face.
I stop in my tracks, trying to pull my feelings together. The tear halts, most likely frozen by the weather. Why...?

"'Livia!" A familiar voice calls. I weakly pull my numb arm up to my face, wiping away the itchy tear.

"Hey." I reply with a smile, turning around.

"Why don't you have a jacket? It's freezing!" He asks, laughing. I say nothing in reply, letting his petering laugh roll on.

Once he finally silences, it dawns on him. I couldn't handle everything. I wanted pain, but in a different way. Something more unique, to match me.

He approaches me slowly. "Olivia, it's okay." He tells me, faking a smile. "You're okay!" I shake my head no almost a minute of silence later.

"No, no I'm not." I tell him, backing away.

"Olivia," He tries again, reaching his arms out.

"I watched him die, Josh!" I nearly yell, "I can't keep pretending everything is fine and dandy, because it's not! He was... he-he..." I couldn't finish my thought before the tears drowned me out.

I felt his warm arms wrap around me, and heard muffles of what I assumed was him attempting to comfort me.

I slowly drifted away to a wonderland where everything was okay, and my dad was alive, and I wasn't scarred.

Hey, I know that was really short but I was really just trying to give you an idea of my writing and the story or whatever. Thanks! Vote and comment and stuff.
