Beautiful People

Thirty Six: Apart

A/N: Hi! I'm loving the attention this book is getting. As you may have very much noticed, this hasn't been thoroughly edited. It will be if I hit that 300 mark by the first of August though! I'm judging this book by how much people love it and I'm really feeling the love. Speaking of love, a lot of things aren't very carefully put through either because this is my first book. I'll probably make a rewrite one day when I'm wiser but until then. Lol on. This is one of my personal favorite chapters because it's so cute. Please read it with the song above playing. Have fun with it.

Cyrus ' POV
Song: Perfect by Ed Sheeran featuring Beyoncé for the start of the italics. You just have to guys.

Darkness. Silence. There was no pain. Just emptiness.

Then light. A faded shape. A blurry face gazed at me.

"Cyrus, you're alive." The voice said. Then a body clasped me tight. My face was placed in soft, dark black hair. It smelt like chlorine and somehow, honey. I felt tears sink into the fabric on my neck.

I recognised her sobs and held her just as tightly. One tear slipped from my eye at the warmth of her embrace. I feared the same for her. Like death was the one thing that would keep us apart.

As if she heard my thoughts, she looked up and into my eyes. I was immediately lost in her twin twilight skies. But something was wrong. Something was different. The skies, they had not their stars in their eyes, in her eyes. It was impossible. It meant...

"We are not really together, Cy. I realised this some time ago."

"You have been in here for a while." I stated even though it was supposed to be a question. I felt like I knew everything about her. And she knew all about me. And she knew that where we were was not real.

We were subconsciously appearing to each other.

But it was great. She laughed an echo as we waltzed around the cloudy void. I had never danced but she had.

We circled and twirled to the song in both our heads. Perfect, by Ed Sheeran. It was on point with everything. We talked as we danced. We smiled as we swiftly moved slowly like we had all the time in the world.

"Do you think this is death?" I said smiling endlessly .

"If it is then maybe then we were missing something while we were alive. Something beautiful," she replied .

"Then we really are true beautiful people. Like you said," I remarked.

" Better than that. We're Aesthetic People. And if this is death, than it has been an honour dying with you. "

We went on and on.

Suddenly, the light and cloudy place we danced in transformed into a blissful forest. It was the most amazing place we had ever been. There were trees with fruits of many forms. Rivers and streamers with glistening fish. Her hair was suddenly morphed and became long and free. Her clothes changed into an ivory dress. Mine changed into a plain white shirt and plain white shorts. We were barefoot and nothing hurt our feet.

I took her hand as we walked around.

She suddenly frowned and I felt her confusion.

"What is it?"

" If this is death, than where is the eons of people who have died since the beginning of time? "

It felt me too.
