The Power of Love

Green eyes

Anastasia
Pain shot up my legs each time my feet touched the ground. But I was used to it. After all I deserved the pain. The cold air wrapped around me tossing me across the sidewalk. I wrapped my little blue coat closer to me as I walked further down the road. To where exactly no clue. Why am I walking by myself? No clue. I can't remember anything. All I remember is waking up and walking away. I look up at the sky to bare trees outlining the sky.

The last of the leaves have fallen from the branches making the trees bare and scary looking. My legs were sore from walking for so long so I stopped and sat down. I sat on a little pile of grass admiring everything. Cars passed by probably going home to their families. I played with my fingers for a while not sure what else to do. I wish I knew what I was supposed to do. Why can't I remember anything. I slam my hands down on the ground in anger. Getting angrier I punch the ground my hands becoming a different color.
"Stupid me. Stupid, stupid me. Why can't I remember anything!" I huff in frustration banging my fist against my head.

Too tired I let my hands drop. Something hits my nose making me shiver. I wipe it away staring at the ground. Than it comes back. I wipe it away again. But as soon as I wipe it away it comes back. Getting frustrated I look up. Tiny white dots are flying down from the sky. Snow! It's snowing! I look up dazed as more come down sticking to the ground. 

"Lauren look it's snowing!" Someone yells in the distance.
I turn my attention toward the sound to see two girls walking hand in hand. The smaller girl is jumping up and down at the snow while the older girl is smiling at her. What a cute sight. They start walking my way coming closer and closer. I quickly hide behind a bush not wanting them to see me. I admire them from my hiding spot as they sit down on a bench.
"It's so beautiful outside Lauren," the younger girl laughed.
"Not as beautiful as you," Lauren I'm guessing said back.
They laid their heads together sitting there peacefully. What a beautiful sight that is. I break my gaze from them and look down at myself. My pants are torn and my feet are bare bleeding a little. My coat hangs loosely off my way too big for me. My hands all dirty and different colors of purple from before. I can't even imagine what my face looks like.

I rack my brain trying to remember anything about my past but I can't. My head starts to hurt so I stop thinking.
"Ugh I'm so stupid. Stupid, worthless, stupid, stupid, whatever word that means that, worthless," I shout out banging my head with my fist.
My head starts buzzing but I keep going not caring anymore. By now tears are coming out of my eyes. I bring my fist up to my head again banging against them.
"Hey, hey stop doing that your going to hurt yourself," a soft voice says holding my fist down.
Startled I look up at who said that. It's the couple from before. The small one is holding my fist down while the older one is kneeling down in front of me. The older girl brushes some hair out of my face so I can see better.

"Why were you hitting yourself," Lauren asks me.
I look down at the ground ashamed to tell them why.
"Because I'm stupid and worthless," I mumble out.
Someone puts their finger under my chin and picks it up so I'm looking up at them. The smaller girl gives me a concerned look as for Lauren.
"Your not stupid nor are you worthless. You have very pretty eyes," Lauren says.
Why are they being nice to me. Was anyone ever this nice to me. Ugh there it is again I can't remember anything. I bring my fist up to my head but the smaller girl grips them tightly. I try to squirm out of her hold but she holds on tight.
"Let me goooo," I wine struggling against her.
"How do I know your not going to hit yourself again?" She ask.
I squirm harder till there free. I pound my fist to my head harder and harder tears coming down my face. Someone puts there arms around me so I can't move my hands anymore. I look up to see Lauren holding me while in a way that my arms are not movable.

"Honey please stop hurting yourself. Can you tell us why your hurting yourself or why your out here alone when it's snowing out?" Lauren asks looking down at me.
I wish I could but I can't. Frustrated I sigh. This would be so much easier if I knew what happen! Sensing my anger Lauren gives me a tight squeeze telling me it's ok. Too tired to fight anymore I lay my head on Lauren's shoulder.
"Hey cutie do you want to come back with us and we can figure this whole thing out?" The smaller girl asked smiling at me.

I nod my head too tired to say anything else. Lauren gets up brushing her pants off helping the smaller girl to her feet. I still don't know her name. I struggle to get up but mange to get to my feet.
"I'm Camila by the way. But you can call me Mila," the smaller girl says.
Mila I like that name. Lauren and Mila start to walk back they way they came. I follow behind them at a slower pace.

Each step I take is sending unbelievable pain to me. Not watching were I'm going I trip on the sidewalk sending myself flying. I pick myself up brushing my hands off. My legs are bleeding and so are my hands. Tears stream down my face for the third time today. Camila stops walking and turns to look down at me.
"Do you want me to carry you honey?" She asks.
I nod my head looking at the ground embarrassed that I'm asking for help. Camila gently picks me up and puts me on her hip. The warmth of her body makes me snuggle up to her. The rhythm of her walking slowly puts me to sleep. Before I know it I'm out.
