Meeting The Light

Chapter 5

~Chap.5~

My feet went on running, taking me to god knows where. I couldn't stop. I didn't even know where I was going. All I knew was I wanted to get away from here.

A creepy low life...

Was that all I was? I really wanted to be a normal person. I tried the best I could. I even had a friend.

But I guess I wasn't meant to be like everyone else. They would never accept me. Nobody ever would.

I continued to run when my foot suddenly tripped on a rock. I stumbled and fell to the floor on my face. My knee started to itch. I opened my eyes slowly to see where I was.

I was lying on the ground on my stomach now so I used my arms to lift me up then I sat up on the ground. I looked around me and saw some houses. They were familiar, but I couldn't tell where I was exactly.

I guessed I was lost, then.

The stinging in my knee caught my attention then I looked down to find it full of blood. There were lots of scratches and I freaked out at the sight.

When did this happen?

I hugged my knee helplessly as I closed my eyes. Tears started coming out of my eyes freely. I felt helpless and alone.

I was lost.

For a moment, I regretted running away. But then again, I had to.

I couldn't continue bothering Noah with my existance. He didn't deserve to be labled as the one who knew someone like me.

I was a horrible person, my dad was right. I devastated the world with my existance.

I wanted to go home. I was sure now that I saw this tree that looked like a ball on the way to the park.

Maybe if I got up I could find the way home?

I collected all the energy I could muster and tried to get up. My knee hurt a bit but I wanted to hold on.

My hair was flying in every direction so I twisted it and held it up into a bun. I didn't have the will to deal with it when it's down right now.

I started to look around. In which direction should I go? I remembered clearly that we passed this place while walking. I never knew in which direction should I go, though.

I decided which direction I should try first when I heard someone calling my name.

"Roxy," Only one person called me Roxy. It was the name Noah gave me. I didn't remember whether it was head-name or neck-name though. All I remembered was it sounded like a body part.

Damn me and my weak memory. Why didn't I google this word, yet?

I looked around and scanned the road for him when my eyes met his blue ones. He was running closer from a far distance.

When he was near, he slowed down his running. His cheeks were red and his hair was damp. It was then when I realized it was raining. It was an autumn evening. I couldn't expect less.

"Roxy," He panted. it seemed like he was running a long distance. I felt bad for making him run too much.

"You didn't have to run after me," I said. Guilt was evident in my voice.

He shook his head and smiled. "No, I had to," He said then gave me a crooked grin. I was about to smile back then I looked away.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked in confusion as his hand reached and tilted my face upwards.
