(Completed ❤️)
No one really knows why it is so stormy all the time during February. Although it is forbidden to go outside, 17 year old Alexandra (Alex) Smith can't help but be drawn to the outdoors.
As soon as February comes the weather drastical...
And just like that he was out the window. I wonder if he was serious about completely staying away from me. He only has a few more day left on Earth, and you would think because we won't see each other he would want to spend more time with me.
But, maybe it is for the best. When school starts I'll forget all about him and that's better...I think..
Ughh! Why did I have to go outside? All of this could have been avoided if only my parents had told me not to go outside. What kind of parents are they?
I sit on my window sill bed and stare out into the night. It starts to snow softly again indicating that Feb is probably stressed..I make him stressed.
Even if he could stay, nothing would come out of us being together. He can never love me, he'll always just think of me as the girl he likes, Alex.
Thinking about all this is exhausting.
My eye lids start to feel heavier and heavier and I snuggle into my hot pink blanket. The warmth is so inviting that slumber soon engulfs me.
-----------------------------------------
2 days later, 12:07-ish in the afternoon,
I receive another e-mail from my English teacher telling me that I will have to read out my speech in front of my class once school resumes as practice in case I win.
Great, just great! No one in my class wants to listen to me go on and on about what life means to me.
School starts in two days time, on the 1st of March. Today is the 27th of February and as I've said in that past, as soon as February is over the weather goes back to normal, meaning I have to go to school again...yay...
The month really flew by, usually it drags on forever. Probably because I had something to do, that's why it flew.
Okay, It's official! I have a bad case of Feb Withdrawal Syndrome, or as I like to refer to it as, FWS. There's only one known cure, and it's to eat a whole tub of mint chocolate chip ice-cream and watch the "Gilmore Girls" on Netflix.
I quickly grab all my supplies and jump into my bed. I surround myself with four more pillows and switch on my laptop. I snuggle into my duvet and prepare to devour my ice-cream.
....I wonder what Feb is doing. Does he miss me as much as I miss him? Ughh! See a prime example of FWS in play. I should be focusing on my show and my show alone...
He can go back to..where ever it was he came from and find some other girl who, might I add, probably isn't even gonna be his type.
Yup! No more thinking about February....
Hey! Do you think Feb likes mint chocolate chip?....

Feb's POV
I drop out all the remains from my closet and put them into a dark red duffle bag. Even though I'm leaving in two days time, I should get a head start on packing.
I walk over to my gold and wooden trunk at the end of the bed and pull out March's green bed spreads. March and I are the closest friends out of the other months but I have to wait two months to see him. Since his month is straight after mine.

(Picture of what March looks like)
If you are confused, we all stay in this tree house while it's our time to be on Earth.
It's March's job to make sure Spring comes on time. He has to wake the remaining animals from hibernation, help the flowers to bloom and other Spring-ey things.
I look down at my red crystal and play with it between my fingers, remembering the time I first told Alex about all this. The first time I met her I thought that I'd just mess around with her than erase her memory.
But, the more she talked the more I wanted to listen. It started becoming more and more difficult to erase her memory...and now? Now I'm forced to give up the one thing that makes me laugh harder than I've ever laughed.
I wish the council could somehow allow me to stay, just for a few more days or something. And I do realize that when I do get back I probably will face a punishment for telling her. But honestly, I couldn't care less.
I zip up the duffle bag and toss it on the ground. I walk towards the front door and open it to let in some air. I take a deep breathe in and fill my lungs with the cold February air.
No matter what happens, I'll never forget the things that Alex has given me. Even if it was for a short period of time.
I stare out into the dark night and breathe out. A smile slowly spreads onto my face as I say out loud, "She gave me love.."
And it suddenly begins to snow.
