Chapter 14

  I couldn't understand how July and Alice could be laughing and talking at a time like this, when they knew people were possibly dying back at the city. Did they choose not to think about it? Did they not want to think about. How could you not? What if Zayne or my father were dying..or hurt..or possibly held captive! Would they be laughing and joking around then. I didnt understand how everything one moment could be a nice walk in the forest with Simon, to this...how? Then I remembered Simon. Did he know what was going on? I shouldn't of left him there.

"Hey! Are you okay, Sky?" July ran up next to me, her face a look of concern. I suddenly began to remember those days at the boba house...back on earth. Why did we have to leave. I sat down on a mossy stump and cried. I cried until my face was red and snot was running over my trembling lips. I couldn't take it.

  "I want to go back home....I don't want this life...." I sobbed, feeling Alice's and July's comforting hands on my back.

  "Me too, Sky...But it's not that easy...I mean, look at this world! We could make it better....Maybe everyones okay!" Alice bit her lip and winced at her own lies. I didn't notice....I couldn't through my tears. I choose to believe her.

  Then I heard something and all three of our heads turned in the direction of a small shroud of bushes growing yellow flowers and watched them rustle. I bit my lip and squeezed July's hand.

  Out came Simon! He was covered in burs and I noticed with growing joy a small robin perched on his shoulder. Then I noticed his shirt off, I blushed and turned my head away as he walked towards us.

  "Sky! Guys!" He smiled and with a shake of his arm, the robin flew off into the trees.

  July ran forwards and jumped up an down in excitement at the sight of him,"Simon! Oh my gosh..Your like us too! Oh my gosh!..." Then her face became cold,"Do you know about...the..."

  He nodded sadly and looked at Alice with excitement,"Hey, Alice!"

  Alice turned her nose up,"Oh..er...Hey"

  Then he turned to me.  I wiped my remaining tears and looked up at him from my spot on the log,"Come on with us , then..lets go..."

  I stood up and began to walk forward down the mossy forest trail, turning me head behind me occasionally to watch with pleasure my friends and Simon following me. Simon in the back, talking to July. I didn't want to talk to him.

  After a bit of walking and wandering through the luscious forest that seemed to never end, which made Me hate earth for it's limited nature, we happened upon an open valley. A landscape of tumbling hills, specks of pink and yellow flowers floated lazily over the green grass that swayed aimlessly in the breeze. It was beautiful. I ran ahead of my group and giggled, ignoring the itchy grass rubbing against my bare legs. Alice, July, and Simon caught up to me and for a long while all we did was chase butterflies, smell flowers, sneeze, and stare at the sky. The perfect blue sky.

  All three of us lay on our backs, staring up at this wondrous sky. The sky that I was named after. I wasn't named after the dirty, pollution filled sky at earth....I was named after this sky. The clouds floated lazily above us in the pool of blue emptiness and I thought for just a second that I could see a rainbow in the haze of the clouds, even though it hasn't rained. I felt happy for the first time. I put all my worries behind me, stared up , and I felt....at home. In a way..I began to remember my past.
