Like Gold (ON HOLD)

Chapter Three

Dear Sianna,

The world has come down on me but I have found a reason to keep lugging it on my shoulders. I never thought I'd be happy, not in all eternity did I think I could smile. I've felt such merciless pain I didn't think I'd be pure enough to feel love but like many times I was wrong, influenced in the thought.

 Now, I'd laugh at the coward I use to be. The one who hid in the dark making them believe they were as cold as the Arctic Ocean and had a heart of stone.    

I was surprised by the feeling, the pangs of confusion. I'd grab my head in my hands and think: What is wrong with me? But the real question was what was right with me? Living in a world for so long the days dragged the sun dull and the blue sky only looking pointless and confusing. But you taught me otherwise.

I would point my thoughts to you and you'd always make my opinion change. You made the sun burn bright, the sky shining a neon blue and my days felt they were  running hours to fast. I didn't constantly think about when this life would end but thought where to begin. I didn't think I could think in such ways ; I was changing fast.

I tried to think against it but my heart didn't have one negative feel towards it. I enjoyed it, loved it, loved you. I took a risk -a very crazy one- and for all the falls it was worth all the heights. It took long to climb this mountain but the view was worth it, worth us

Miles Away,

L.M

"Who did that?" the old woman asked staring at Ella's neck which she covered with loads of makeup.

"Did what?" she asked Mrs. Welsh.

The woman raised her eyebrow crossing her arms. "Don't you dare lie to me."

"I'm not." She lied simply staring at her Doc Martens.

"Dear," she said softly. "What happened?"

"Nothing really, I was walking home, it was dark and I smacked against a branch. It was thick, scratched me up a bit."

"Did you teach this person a lesson?"

She looked up at her confused. How did she know? "Yes," she muttered.

"Be careful."

She smiled. "When am I not?"

The woman scoffed. "You mean: when are you?"

The woman either had a sixth sense or Ella was a terrible liar. She made sure it was impossible for the bare human eye to see. She couldn't count how many layers she had dabbed on this morning. She had freaked out after Leya had left receiving a text that questioned her absence at her dinner table.

She hadn't seen the psycho path or the blue haired girl all day. She was almost expecting something to happen. Either the animal resembled boy would rip her head off or she'd be attacked by whatever was in the woods. She somehow always found herself in the wrong places at the wrong time doing the wrong think. But it was her, what did she expect?

When they finished up at the library Ella walked in the night to a cafe near the library. It was a small place that smelled of coffee beans and made the best pies. What was best about it was you could order whatever you wanted and go or stay and sit in the booths. The line was short and soon it was her turn to order. It was cold she found herself shivering her teeth chattering. She then walked into the café with a ding.
