The Feeling of Touch

Chapter 14

Another soul reckoning and mental day. Gloves on her hands as usual. All the same. The creaks, from the stairs, would announce her way to the kitchen. The loathe and detest, was suffocating her but it was a familiar sensation. Nobody spoke about the incident, at school, anymore since it was bound to stir up a storm of problems, that nobody wanted more of. 

She was alone in this world.

Or was she.

She didn't know the answer to that but what she did know, was where to find the answers which she craved for so drastically. The truth about her and him. Something only another possessed. 

Another soul reckoning day, at school. Loneliness also following her there.

It was better there though; he made it better. Anthony. In his own way he would provide her with that sense of security which so much longed for. Even if it was from a far distance, his presence was all that she needed. Everyone has a bit of cowardness in them, she too was not prone to this. 

Today was the day, she needed to escape the chains and torments which were so determined to drag her to the bottomless pit. 

As her eyes followed his every movement, she was now in a sudden state of shock when noticing his final destination. Not being the usual exit, ten minutes before the bell would ring; but an inch away from her own desk. 

There he was.

Those nostalgic ocean blue eyes, now staring directly at her own pair. Her heart, surely stopped beating at that moment as she now encountered herself in another life changing situation.
