Ocean Eyes

It was finally time. Today was my 16th birthday, the day I would finally come to my beloved sister. I would see her again, if there was such a thing as heaven. We would run around on the clouds, we would talk about everything I needed her for. About my first infatuation and just about all the things you don't want to discuss with your father when you're a teenager.

I often argued with myself about his title, father. A father would not disown his daughter and put her in foster care just to be alone and not have the face of his dead wife, my mother, in front of him. Traveling from one foster home to another was awful. They just want the money that they had gotten with me. However, they immediately put you on the street when they realize that kids actually need money.

Further in context, we would build a castle in the clouds, ride around on unicorns and drink masses of cocoa.

A silly idea for a 16 year old girl, but we had always planned that when I was sitting at her deathbed back then.

We would meet again someday and then it would be like it used to be when she was 10 years old and I was only 7.

God had not spared her either, cancer. At some point I was just glad that she was gone. I may have been small but I knew exactly how she suffered because I suffered with her. Not a night went by, not a single day, that I didn't wish I could make a change but that was reality, it was cruel, merciless, and just plain stupid.

Back in the present I climbed out the window, slipped, and just barely hung onto the gutter. Whimpering, I tried to hold on. I gathered all my courage and climbed onto the next window sill. Fearfully I climbed further, when I was down I caught my breath and stroked my hair back. I heard an angry yell, he was screaming my name so hatefully it almost hurt.

I was sick and tired of it, so I ran. I had never run so fast before but when the mind doesn't want to anymore, the body has to give it all once again.

I ran through the forest, leaves whipping at my face, I held my hands in front of me and squinted my eyes. I heard the howling of the wind and the rustling of the leaves, but I kept running until I got to the road. I quickly boarded the next best bus and headed into town.

Colin's P.o.V.
Frowning, I saw a girl sitting at the disgustingly sticky counter and decided to step a little closer when I spotted some kind of wanker laughing and poking his buddies in the ribs before making his way over to her.

Shocked I watched the scene and was once again disappointed by humanity that no one got what was going on here but that was nothing new. Angry at God and the world, I followed the dudes dragging the staggering girl towards the bathroom and grabbed her arm to pull her back a little bit.

"Hey, I wouldn't go with them" I advised her.

"I don't want to..." she sighed weakly.

My fist was once again faster than I could think, and within seconds there were two completely drunk guys on the ground and her in my arms.

"Hey are you still awake?", I asked her.

Concerned, I stared at her lowered eyelids. Sighing, I looked down at the girl. She was without makeup, wearing normal clothes.... She didn't belong here, she probably knew that herself. I decided that I couldn't leave the stranger here like that and would have to take her home. Even if that was possibly even more dangerous than leaving her lying here somewhere.

"I feel sick" she mumbled on the way out.

Just in time, I pushed the girl with the snow-white hair a little away from me, so that fortunately she had only hit the sidewalk with her vomit. I then made my way home together with her.

"Why do you get drunk to the point of senselessness?", I muttered not really enthusiastic about her.

Sighing, I entered the dark area, looking in all directions.

"We'll be right there."

I didn't really know who I was trying to reassure with that, because as soon as she would open her eyes and notice the area, all the calm would be gone right away anyway. And so I just hoped that the blue-eyed beauty in my arms would stay calm and not draw attention to us. I exhaled with relief when I reached my apartment block. I opened the door with one hand before I noticed that she didn't mind at all that I had taken her.

So me being a girl, I would fucking panic if some random crazy person took me into their home.

And for whatever reason, I got pissed when I looked down at her and then put her down on my bed. I could have otherwise been some guy who kidnapped and raped girls and she hadn't even questioned it a bit.
