Words Left Unspoken

Chapter 4

Adonai walked home  slowly  as  if  he  had  all  the time  in  the  world, he  felt  a bit  relieved that  he  spoke  to someone  who  could  understand  him.  Deep down he  knew  he  was  still lonely  despite  having  people he called friends. He decided to ride on his skateboard while thinking about Maya. Maya's  way  back  home  was short  yet  this  day  time  seemed to  be  in  slow  motion.  A group  of guys came along  her  path and  she  noticed that  it  was  Adonai's friends. She  awkwardly  looked down as  she approached them.  "Hey  weirdo!"  one  of  them  yelled.  "Look  it’s  the  ugly  duckling  ", one  of  them quacked. Maya pretended  not  to  hear a  single  insult given  and  she  quietly, yet  quickly  ran  home. She opened  the door  and  walked in, closing  it  with her  foot. Her  parents  weren't  home  yet  so  she decided  to  cook  for them  .Two  hours  passed  with a  blur and  everything  was  set  in  Maya's  house.  She took  her  backpack,  which  had  books,  a  waist  coat  and  a bottle  of water  in it. She  left  a  note  on  the dinner  table  and  went  outside,  locking  the  door behind  her. The  moon  shone  softly  and  it  seemed  to caress her delicate skin. She walked slowly passing streetlights. Adonai told  his  mom  that he  would  be  going  out  so he  might  come  late,  his  mom  just  nodded and closed  the door.  He  had  his  backpack  on  and  a  black  hoodie  on  with  stars imprinted on  it. He  went  into  the  direction  of Nessbit  Street  and  saw  a  glowing  figure  almost  so  mystical.  The  streets lights  seemed  like  light  from  heaven  and  the  figure  appeared to  be  an  angel. Adonai couldn't  believe  what he  saw,  this slender  yet  curvy  person  was  Maya.  He  was sure  of it. Maya seemed delighted  when she saw  Adonai's  outstanding  figure. She  walked graciously  and  found herself seconds  away  from  Adonai.  "Hello  Maya,  you  look  really  wonderful  and  I  admire  your stance", Adonai said  with a lot  tranquility  in his  voice. They  both seemed  like  adults going  on  a  date. And before  Maya  knew  it,  Adonai grabbed her hand  with ease  and  held  it  soothingly.  This amusing gesture  send  chills behind  Maya's back  and  while  startled she  said  "Your hand  is  so  warm  and  I now feel relaxed."   They  were  nearing  the  park  when Adonai excitedly  stated, "we  have  a  lot  to  talk  about,  especially you." The  night  was chilly  but  both teens  were  feeling  warm, the  lay  down  onto  a  towel Adonai brought, next  to  the  oak  tree  while  looking  up  to  the  stars.  The  moon  seemed  to  be  smiling  and  the  stars were dancing. Adonai gave  Maya  a  slight  glance  and  couldn't  believe  what he  was seeing, he  could've sworn  that  Maya was  a  truly  beautiful  woman.  He  decided to keep the  thought  to  himself  and  then at  that  very  moment  Maya  opened her  mouth  to  confess. "Well  where  do  I  start?  all  of  my  life I have  been  a  lonely  person  never  finding  friends. I started developing  a  fondness  for  pain, I even told  myself that  pain  was  necessary  for  growth.  Pain  is  a connection  between  oneself, and  everybody  experiences  pain,  most  choose  to  fight  I choose  to embrace it wholeheartedly." She managed to grab her breath.
