The Girl That Never Smiled

He sighed, a content kind of sigh, like he somehow enjoyed this...

"Whoa, the view is amazing from up here."

"...No, not if you actually look."
He suddenly turned around and I could feel his curious eyes scanning my face,

"You never see the positives, do you?" His voice was soft, almost stolen by the breeze. It seemed... sad? Why?
"It's always there, you just aren't looking hard enough. You need to search for it, not just see."

"Yeah? And how do I do that?" I scoffed. He needs to see the reality for what it is.

"By finding it inside you first. You need to feel the beauty, the happiness, so that then you can see it."

I looked down, not wanting too stare into his eyes - they were too calculating, too... curious for his own good. Why couldn't he just stop caring so much? Just ignore me, leave me alone, it's what I know.

"I used to, but that was once upon a time."

She is a girl which pushes everyone away. The girl that everyone avoids but is seen as a target by all. She is the girl that never smiled.

Always alone she is determined to keep it that way, she won't be naive and let anyone in, because that would mean having to learn to trust all over again. This way she can avoid more pain. What she doesn't realise though, is that it might be much harder than she originally thought...

All her life she has lived in a cage, will she find the one that has the key? More importantly, will she let him knock down her walls, made to keep everyone out?
