8 | What's your story?

I Took that pic btw. I felt like putting a pic in ^^^^^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was only darkness for awhile. But there was more. My fears. My hope. Dreams. Just flying about in my head telling that I was useless and that my dreams will never come true.

"Penny? Hello? Wake up!" A voice said. I felt myself getting shaken about by the shoulders.

I blinked a couple of times as a bright warm light beamed down on me.
My eyes finally went into vision as a saw a blonde hair boy staring down at me. Ed...

"W-what?" I groaned as I tried sitting up. I coughed as some water came out of my mouth.

"Penny!? Are you ok!?" He asked worried.

"I'm fin-.... how do you know my name?" I asked the stranger I just meet.

"It was in graved in your guitar. I'm sorry I like guitars and you left yours there." He shyly said.
"But are you ok? I think you hit your head!" He went back to panicking.

"I'm fine. Now I probably should go..." I got up and looked around me.
"Oh and thanks.... umm for saving me."

As I said them words a smile appears on his face like I did 'I love you.' Or something to him.

"Umm you ok?" I mumbled.

"Oh yea sorry! It's just I haven't done a good thing in awhile and well it feels good to help someone." He smiles.

"Well thanks again." I started walking in a direction that I didn't know. I guess it's time for an adventure.

"Hey! Wait up!" Ed shouted as he ran up beside me.
"Mind if I tag along?"

I looked at him and gave him a weird glance.
I don't know about this guy?
"Don't do be rude..." I started. "But why? Like I'm not a person people like to hang around with."

"Really? You seem really interesting!" He smirked. "And well I'm kinda getting lonely on my own.."

I smiled as my heart melted a tiny bit inside. He seems really nice. "Sure, come on!" I laughed.

"YAY!" He shouted as we linked arms and turned around and walked back to the library.

****

We were at the library for about an hour just talking. I've never had a proper talk to someone who's alive. We were just talking about life and having weird conversations. It felt good to talk to someone.

"So Ed?" I looked straight into his mysterious green emerald eyes.
"What's your story?"

"What you mean?" He returned the same look.

"Who are you? What are you like? Any family? Friends?... special person?" I smirked. "Why your here?.... with me? Why me?" I realised that I going deep but I cant help it. It's my personality now. It changed from a bubbly person to a dark deep negative person.

"Well.... I have a sister. She's adopted now. I can't see her. No friends. Lonely life and hell nah! I'm single and free." He laughed.

He only has a sister.... what happened to his parents? I wanted to know. But I didn't want to upset him or set something off as I know what's it like.
Our glances met as he took a deep breath.

"I'm here because I ran away...as I told you 5 years ago. Away from a care home. Life's better when you have freedom and can do what you want." He seemed pretty chill about running away. "And well I know I probably shouldn't give too much information away but I feel like your a person I can trust and you wouldn't tell anyone."

I blushed as he said that. No one has ever trusted me before. I don't know how to react to this. Say thank you? Promise I would say? Say I have no one to tell?

"I wouldn't tell anyone. Trust me." I smiled.

"Well the reason I'm with you is because I have no one. I always feel alone. And well you ran away too, your like me. I just feel like we have so much in common. We could stick together through all this. Get through though times. Plus I know what's it's like running away for the first time. Loneliness everywhere. No one to turn too. Just yourself out in this giant world. Everyone needs someone to talk to."

Right at that moment I felt like someone cared about me. Not faking. Real. Maybe I can finally let someone in? Someone to share my pain with? I felt this weird pain in my chest. Like my hearts telling me to open up. To take a risk for once.

"Ed. I know what's it like. I feel it everyday. No one caring. Alone. We are very alike. Just from that I know we both have our difficulties. But I do feel like we should stick together.... become friends?" I looked at him with hopes in my eyes for the first time in forever.

"Friends?" He smiled. "Yes, I would love that."

I grabbed my guitar before he could say another word and I started strumming a song I knew well. 'Little too much' by Shawn Mendes.

"Something it all gets a little too much. But your going realise that soon the fog will clear up...." I sang.

I sang very quietly and strummed the guitar to the rhythm of the song. It's a deep and meaningful song that I love.

***
"That's kinda deep." Ed said as I finished singing. I looked up from my guitar.

"Yea it is. That's why I love it. Loads of songs have a deep meaning when you just listen to the lyrics." I started thinking of loads of different songs that mean a lot to me.

"They do. Some people just like them for the catching song but they have meanings." Ed put he's leg over his other leg as he sat back.

"I know so people don't appreciate music." I shut my eyes as I started to relax.

"So penny? What's your story?" Ed asked.

I froze. My story? I'm a really going to do this?
