The Wilted Red Rose {An Aphmau Mystreet Fanfiction} (DISCONTINUED)

(You could end up reading this twice, as this is also the prologue, which you can skip if you want, since you already read it here)

A small red cardinal bird chirps in the distance, the leaves crunch that blanket the grass bordering the park as a bright orange squirrel leaps across them.
I, Aphmau Shalashaska (look up Aphmau's last name), wonder how the world could be so peaceful while others could be so troubled at the same time.
I let my hand fall into Travis Valkrum's gentle grasp as we cross the aged dock of the boat we boarded in leaving Starlight.
My mother awaits us at the end of the dock, her dark gray hair and caramel brown eyes are all too familiar as we approach the white car door upon the left side.
As we sit within the car, my mother is silent, and Travis puts his arm across my shoulders and looks at me, his face holding a slightly weak smile upon his sad face.
As I stare out the window at swaying trees or people walking dogs, I let my mind wander.
Will I ever be back to normal? I think, gazing down at my hands as they sit in my lap and rain batters the windows.
