Butterfly Who Forgot To Fly...

Ch-9

Justin's POV

I sit there at the dining table watching Anastasia laughing at some joke Alfredo cracked. She somehow reminds me of her. She has the same brown straight hair as her, the same childlike laugh like her, the same care for everyone in her heart just like she had, except the eyes. She had those blue deep sea like eyes, always drowning me within them when I looked at her. While Anastasia has those deep chocolate brown eyes, almost black if anyone didn't see her well. But both know how to silence my demons just the sound of their voices.

It's funny how fast the things change and people leave you, and with them take a little piece of your heart everytime they leave so that you can never be the same again. Never.

I just hope Anastasia never leaves me. After a few minutes Scooter and Alfredo leave and now it's just me and Anastasia left in the room.
Anastasia's P.O.V
I guess it's the right time to ask Justin about his past maybe I won't ever get the chance. I think it's time.
I look at Justin but he's already staring at me. His eyes they shine so bright,I just can't imagine what could be the thing bothering that peaceful person at the back of his mind.

"Justin, there's something I'd like to ask you?" He looks at me expecting to continue and doesn't interrupt. He places his on top of mine. I continue. "I was just wondering about your...your past." His face hardens and his jaw clenches he looks away, "I asked Pattie about the door, and she said that, that it's related to your past.."

He takes a deep breath before answering my question and looks at me, not with the cold eyes I was expecting but the soft ones,the sad ones , the ones hiding that pain behind his face...

"Yeah" , "Yeah, the door. It has,the memory of my past."

He's now staring deep in my eyes and it's painful to see him so close to tears.

"She died." He says between sobs. He's crying now. "I loved him so much Anastasia, she died because of me!! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!" He suddenly jumps of the chair and starts yelling he's yelling and crying all I can say is that he's a mess right now.

"Its okay Justin,don't talk about it, don't talk about her or anyone if it's hurting you so much." I say holding him by his shoulders, his eyes are all red with tears right now.

"Its okay, it's okay. Go to sleep. You'll feel better. We'll talk about this sone other time. It's okay" I say hugging him tight. He calms down, but I can still feel tears dripping from his eyes wetting my shoulder. He pulls away.

"Goodnight, I'm sorry Anastasia, I just need time. I'm sorry." and then he turns and climbs back the stairs to his room.

That night Anastasia just couldn't sleep she just kept tossing and turning and thinking who she is. The she so died. The she who was Justin talking about.
