Chapter II

December, 29. 11:45 a.m

It was quite usual here in the library. Silience filed the space and all the book racks made this place warm and cozzy. Few people would come, take a look through the books, pick one and leave easely as they came. Some of them would chat with me. Jut the typical "How are you?" and "Good, you?" could be heard and that was it. The library wasn't big. It had just enough of the space for all the books that it held and it had few seat rows seperated by the thin wooden panel.The panel was see through. It had carverd flowers. A lot of flowers. I made several shoots with this panel. Someone would think that not so much can be done with simple panel, but you would be surprised if you only knew that best pictures comes from the simpliest things. The sun's rays were coming from the windows that were set just above the seats. You could see the dust slowly falling to the ground for only a second when it would pass through the sun ray and it would disappear into the part that the sun's ray couldn't reach. And the process would be repeated again and again, and you could watch it until your eyes hurt or you got bored. The sun's rays were ending on the book racks and if you were sitting in the one od seats you could easely read all titles without getting up. The books were old and worn, some pages ripped and variegated with random doodles like hearts, stars and little mans, even few little qoutes and poems could be find with inicials that could represent anybody and were left to be wondered about... Crunch... This puled me out of my thoughts and sent me to reality. The door were being pulled and a small figure appeared behind them. A girl with long brown locks and cute flower dress. She could be around ten. She had like the biggest smile on her beautiful face and hapinness was practically radiating from her. Tunable "Hi" flew to my ears and it was followerd with, out of happines and eagerness, rushed "I am new here, I mean not in town, of course, but here in the library. I have never been a member but i want to enroll. Oh my God, I am so exited." She almost squiled. She was happy and she was't trying to hide it. "Well hello there. You seem really eager to enroll, I see?!" I half stated, half asked. "Oh yes, really. You know, my brother gave me this book, it's his favourite. 'The fault in our stars', you have to know about it. And i just ended reading it... And I loved it soo much I just have to take another book to read. I mean I read before, but just the books that were reqired for school. I didn't know that there were this cool books out here." Her voice was so proud and happy that she finished reading the book and she really wanted more. I know the feeling. You can't escape once you're captivated by a book. No mather how much you try. And well, you usualy don't try at all. You just go with the flow. "Well how about we take a sit over there," I pointed at the part with row seats and her tiny figure turned in the direction that my pointer finger was showing, "so I can take your informations and than I can show you around. Sounds good?" I finished my question sending her a beam on which she reasponded with same one. "Yupp, sounds good." So I took the information book and led her to the one of seats as we continued our conversation...

Alice took informations that little girl named Gemma gave her. Gemma told her that she was born and raised here in London, her parents are divorced and, of course, she told her about her brother, Harry. He is twenty and he was a singer. He cut his singing career after some kind of event, but Gemma hasn't told her anything about that event. Alice didn't asked. It wasn't any of her business anyway. Gemma said that she's going to the primary school still and she have two best friends. After thir little chit-chat, Alice showed her around library and gave her a few recommendations. Gemma decided on Harry Potter series. Front page captivated her and she said she will come back for other parts. After that Gemma went home and Alice was yet again left alone with her thoughts...

There's literally nothing interesting on this TV. How can people even spend so much time sitting and watching these shitty programs. My God am I bored. My life really became nothing. I became nothing. My days boil down to doing nothig. I. just wait for sun to set and than to rise. And the cycle is repeated again and again. I wish for something that would breaker that cycle. Ignite a spark in me again. Make me happy like she did. One year. One freaking year and it still seems like everything happened yesterday and I still feel the same pain and the same empties. I am not sure if it will ever go away. I wish it would, though. Only like that I could continue with my life. I would start living again. Damn with this thoughts. What to do, what to do? Think you lifeless mind. Did Gemm came back yet? I haven't heard doors opening. Well, it wouldn't be surprising if she did came and I haven't noticed. I've been like this whole year. Shutting everything and everyone out. I was like this ghost just wandering around not paying attention at all. I still do that. I know I shouldn't, and I don't want to, but I do. There was a sound of someone running down the stairs. So she did came home. Seconds after, my younger sister appeared in living room. "Hey Gemm, what's up?" I asked her as she flopped next to me on the sofa. "I enrolled in the library today. I got this book Harry Potter and it's amazing. It reminded me of you when I saw it." she happily exclaimed. Since I closed up I haven't really been spending much time with her. I forgot how much we look alike. Same eyes, same lips, same curly hair. It's like I am looking at my ten year old self. "Hey, what do you say we go out today?" I surprise even myself with the question, but she seems trilled with the offer that she immediately jumps to her legs with a happy "Yes, we can go to cinema, or to the lunapark. I'll go get ready. I'll be down in a minute." She spoke so fast as if she was afraid that I would somehow change my mind and take back the offer. I don't blame her though, I am too. I don't know what is it with this day, but I hope that it goes well till the end.

As Harry was was waiting for Gemma to get ready thousands of thoughts were going through his mind. This day was so different compared to others for him. Yes, he felt empty still, but something in the air was different. He couldn't quite put a finger on what it was, but something has changed that morning when he waked up and he is yet to find out what it was...
