Let's Run Away

Chapter 2 - Finesse

I was sitting in awkward position staring at the window as Liam was driving on the coastline. I wish Noah would change the song to something louder rather than soft. I took a quick glance at her and we locked eyes for a moment. It wasn't just eye locking, it was rather soul gazing. Her eyes were as beautiful as the moonlight.

She said "Don't think about it too much, there's no reason to rush this through".

I looked away and smiled thinking about what she had said. I stopped thinking and started enjoying the music. I was as relaxed as a hippy on a summer night. Liam pulled over at a shore and just sat for a moment in the car facing the water. Tides running over each other, each tide higher than another.

"Let's get out" said Noah. He went to the trunk of the car as we walked towards the shore.

He had some beer, blankets and fireworks which he bought for the first night. He played a melodious song out loud and opened the car doors while we prepared the fireworks. We sat on the shore and watched the stars glows, the waves wade and fireworks compete in an aesthetic display. As the fireworks dazzled, I couldn't help but stare at her. I couldn't help but wonder whether she is a new lust for me because I had only known her for a few hours but I was perplexed. She took a quick gander at me and looked at the stars again. It's amazing how I felt a connection but at the same time feared falling for a stranger. I stared at the fireworks for some time and suddenly Emma got up and ran to the water. She started screaming her lungs out, loud cries that described how I felt. I walked towards the shore, I started screaming as well. I screamed so hard my chest felt light. Suddenly she looked at me, she shed a tear and I felt it.

She said "You don't know me" and I said I'm in pain, "That's a weird thing to tell a stranger".

Her voice is beyond angelic, if I could describe it people would not believe such beauty derived from a being. "Tell me all your problems and I'll make them the song I cry to" I said, and she showed a vague smile. For some time we gazed upon one another then she asked "Why are you doing this?" I sighed, and before I could answer Noah summoned us "Guys we got to go, I rented us rooms for the night at a guest house nearby". As we were walking back to the car, Emma pulled on my arm and said "Thanks". I smiled, and she held onto my arm as we walked back to the car. We got inside and the playlist continued...

If my red eyes don't see you anymore

And I can't hear you through the white noise

Just enjoy how deep I'll go to the blue ocean floor

Where they find us no more

As this song was playing, we drove off insilence towards the guest house. The music explained emotions that wereindescribable. We arrived at the guest house and everyone was too tired for goodnights,so everyone went to bed. I couldn't sleep, I've been staring at the ceiling allnight thinking about what my life has come to. I was overwhelming myself withso much shit running through my mind. I remember when my dad used to actuallycare about me, when he was proud no matter what I did. Lately I don't feelalive, I feel like ripping of my body and just showing the world who I trulyam. I wish I didn't give a fuck about what he thought. I've nostalgic all nightand it is messing with me.
