Once Upon Another Time

One: In His Hands, Lay My Broken Heart

*Society*
Storyteller (Main Character)

"It was just like any other day, I had ventured out to go meet my beloved Alex. He loved me and I loved him with a love greater than those who'd been together many of years more than we"

"Listen here children, of the story, of your father and me"

"Although this 'Alex' is not your father, we should start here. My experiences were never thought to be horrible, just wait child, wait and see!"

Adeline (Past Self)

I slipped out of my window, Alex was expected to be awaiting me at our favorite place to meet.... the local Café. Alex, my beloved, dreamed to become a writer-

"I never thought of it then, but I soon would become one of the characters in his books"

- Alex loved to speak to me about his passions, about his life and experiences. Every single one he has put into all of his different books, he has never showed me what book he's working on now. I only know it's a romance that involves a player and a fool girl.

I skipped don't the sidewalk, carefree as ever. The Café came into view, it was a small broken down brick shop with a faded sign and black spray paint to keep anyone from peeping in during the night. It barely look alive except for the little barely lit neon green open sign that hung on the left window to the door.

Mindy caught my eye right before I walked in the restaurant, I smiled and skipped over to her. Momentarily forgetting about my meeting with Alex. She saw me approaching and smiled, but the smile faded into a sour scowl.

"Yer down 'ere only fer that trouble of-uh boy" Mindy grumbled, I blushed and looked down. "He's not trouble Mindy, just misunderstood" she huffed out a breath, looking me with a dead straight expression "yer gonna get yerself hurt again darlin, opposites never will attract. No matter what the ole *so-sigh-ih-tee* sayin" I smiled at Mindy as she spit her saliva from her chewing tobacco out and gave me a stern look.

Mindy sighed and tapped my leg with her walking stick "better be gettin it done an' over wit'" she said. I gave her a hug and a large smile before hopping towards the small cafe once again, an extra spring in my step-

"'I'll prove Mindy wrong' I had thought during that time, but I never knew how right she was till after a few months"

-I decided to surprise Alex with some freshly picked wildflowers, since our meeting is scheduled at 2pm and it's only 1pm, I have enough time. I walked towards the direction of the winter woods, even in the summer with the winds these forest were cold but produced the tastiest berries and prettiest of flowers.

I slipped into the darkness of the trees and the thorns, thorns caught my sleeves and hooked my skin. I pulled them off and continued my journey, the painful pricks signalled I was going in the right direction.

Soon I came upon a bush of roses, just what I had been looking for. The bright crimson red flowers were beautiful and would make the perfect gift for Alex, oh my dear beloved Alex. I picked one, wanting to leave the bush as beautiful as I found it, and headed back through the thicket. Getting more nicks and cuts than when I came through before.

I looked at the little gold watch that always clung to my wrist, it was three minutes ahead so when you counted the time you had to subtract three minutes. 1:23pm, since I had nothing else to do, I decided to go sit and wait for Alex to arrive at the Café.

I walked down the little trail that led straight out of the forest and right down to the Café. I ran to the entrance as I noticed Alex's old and beat up Chevrolet, hopefully he already ordered our usual and was waiting inside.

Just as I barely pushed the door open I noticed him sitting with Chery, a typical blonde slut. I keep the door barely cracked, I watched as she scooted closer to Alex-

"In this moment I had a million things running through my mind, I hoped my beloved would scoot or push Chery away, but deep down I knew that it wasn't likely"

-I watched, as he put his hand on her thigh. Tears pricked my eyes as they both leaned in to share a passionate kiss before she got up and went back to waitressing. After watching a minute he turned and looked at the door, his eyes met mine and he....

He smirked.! At my tear stained face, he soon started laughing at me. "All for my books babe" he winked and got up, pulling the door open. Alex, unpleasantly, pecked my cheek and walked out of the door.

My sobs escaped and I ran out of the Café, towards my home which lay deep in the woods.
