For What It's Worth

"Vienna!" he yells down the dark abandoned underground subway track his voice echoing off the damp walls traveling down the endless corridors. Turning on his flashlight he continues to speak into the darkness that his small flashlight can't penetrate "I know that your down here, I know that this is the place you retreat to when you're scared, upset, or angry." There was still no answer he raked his hands through his hair out of frustration and agony. "Please..." He was close to tears now" As creepy as this sounds I've watched you, seen your personality. I've noticed how you don't let people get close." a small smile made its way on to his face "how you heat up Chips Ahoy cookies so they taste fresh out of the oven. How you let Sprite go flat so it looks like water just to avoid an argument with your sister or your mother about dangers of inorganic foods. How you can sneak around without anyone hearing you, how you laugh like a insane serial killer..." quiet timid steps lightly made their way closer but stopped right before being noticed by the distressed boy aimlessly waving his flashlight in very direction. Silent tears streams down Vienna face as she contemplated going up to him, "Vienna please...." his quiet pleas touched her heart slowly chipping away her steel walls that she had put up long ago. Stepping into the dim light that the flashlight provided Once the boy saw her small frame come slowly towards him he jumped down off the subway platform on to the track and ran towards her adoration and relief shining in his eyes as he took her into his arms planning on never letting out of his sight again.
