Ana in Wonderland

Rain

We all awake

Due to the blinding sun.

Ugh,

I groan.

Ugh's right,

Paisley agrees,

Can we turn the sun off?

I giggle,

And Kyler smiles

At me.

I don't remember

Anything,

Paisley tells us.

Me either,

Kyler says.

But I do.

I remember.

Paisley knows Ana,

And Paisley knows

I know Ana.

It starts to rain,

Big, heavy raindrops.

The sky is crying.

Oh great, rain,

Paisley complains.

I love storms,

I say,

It lets me know

That even the sky

Screams sometimes.

I open my door,

Not waiting for a response,

And step onto the

Cold stone.

And then,

I lay down,

On the

Hard cement.

What the hell are you doing?

Kyler screams to me.

Shouting to be heard

Over the now

Rumbling thunder.

I ignore him,

And close my eyes.

Trying desperately,

To take away the skies

Pain.

The rain

Is suddenly shielded

From my open mouth,

And I open my eyes

To find Kyler's face

Inches from mine.

What?

I ask.

His lips

Tug at the corner.

I think

Maybe

You should sit in the

Dry,

And

Warm

Car.

He tells me.

Instead of the

Cold,

And

Wet

Concrete.

But if I lay in the rain,

Maybe I can drown

In something other than

My own thoughts,

I explain.

All storms come to their end,

Preslee.

I'm not sure if

In that moment,

He was referring

To the actual weather,

Or to my roller coster life.

But, Kyler, some

Wind up leaving

Lifetimes of damage

In their path.

He opens his mouth,

To respond,

But a flash

Of white lightning

Cuts him off.

A scream

Escapes my lips,

And he immediately

Jerks me to my feet,

And hurls me

Into the car.

In the drivers seat,

He sighs.

As if ten minutes

With me,

Would exhaust

Any normal person.

Preslee,

Paisley's voice murmurs

From the back seat,

You're one crazy ass bitch.

Kyler's hand

Intertwines with mine,

As if sealing the deal.

I'm now his,

And he is mine.

You like your girls insane,

I tell him.

He squeezes my hand.
