Figment Reborn

If one would cast away the good in the world

We would not stand.

"Hey beautiful," I rolled over in bed to see Zayn. He was still tired from yesterday.

"What are you doing up so early?" I say, my hair a mess.

"The sun woke me up, you must have left the curtains open." He walked over to the French Door windows.

He had on a loose tee shirt and loose pajama pants. I got up and went over to him. He was on the balcony.

"Look at Jane," He said, she was by he side if the lake and held a white rose and a note. She had a match box in hear hand.

"Let's go," I went over to the dresser and slipped of my pajamas and put on a pair of jeans and a dark long sleeve.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

"To see Jane" I parted my hair the right way, "she needs us"

Zayn agreed and got dressed.

It was snowing out and Zayn gave me his jacket. He tried to wipe the snowflakes out of my red, wavy hair. We came down to the lake.

I told Zayn to stay, I could take this.

"Jane?" she turned around with her note in hand. She had come here every week; 11:45 Tuesday. The day of the funeral.

"Are you okay?" she wore all black.

"Yeah, just sending a letter," she knelt down on the snowy shore.

"Here," I took the matches out if her hand. "let me help," she pulled a spool of thread out of her coat pocket.

"You just tie them together like this," she slipped the string under the note and placed the rose on top of the she tied the rose on the top of the note.

"You just do this and place it in the water." She gently set it on the ice cold winter waters.

"Then, you just take the matches and light one," she handed me the box. My shaky hand took a couple tries to make a weak little flame.

"Light the rose, not the letter," I lowered my hand and gave a little flame to the head of the flower.

Jane pushed the letter off of the shore and it sailed away like a little sail boat.

"We send the dead notes to keep them updated, they won't be as lonely." Jane looked up at the sky.

"I just miss him so much,"

"I know how you feel,"

"How could you possibly know how I feel,"

"Because I lost someone of my own, okay!" I walked away and past Zayn in the woods.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything is fine," I walked towards the castle as I felt a tear well up in my eye.
