Hey guys! So I kinda have a history for starting a story and then not finishing it. Sorry but I was born a procrastinator, and I will always be a procrastinator. Anyways I really like the idea of this story, and I'm going to try to stick with it. Love you all lots, and I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: Really now? Do you really think I'd be writing this if I was Stephanie Meyer?
The sky these days usually reflected Bella's mood. Rainy, gray and miserable. Most the time it didn't change either. Just like Bella. Ever since he left.
She still remembers that day.
The day he left.
The day her entire world came crashing down.
The day she became numb, and almost non-existent. A zombie, completely void of emotion. All emotion but pain, loss, misery, and heartbreak.
Bella sighed leaning back on her bed and closing her eyes. She didn't want to think about that day. She was already in enough pain without the constant reminder of what had happened.
It was Sunday, the worst day of the week. She never had enough to do to take her mind off of him. Never enough to keep her distracted.
So she had started odd habits. Things she'd do on Sundays that would make sure her mind was occupied. And by odd I do mean odd. Like looking up the origins of her family name online. Or driving to her school and sitting in the parking lot and counting the number of shingles on the roofs of all the buildings of her school. Her personal favorite though: driving to the SeaTac airport in Seattle and just watching planes take off.
It was somewhat time-consuming and very loud in the airport, but she loved to imagine where the planes were going, or what the people on them were like. It soon became one of Bella's favorite pastimes.
And so that was why she found herself just a few hours later sitting in the airport staring blankly out at the line-up of 6 planes out on the tarmac. She was sitting in a viewing area, right in front of a huge window, which made the entire wall she was in front of.
It was the off-season and not many people were traveling, so the airport was very empty. In fact, Bella was the only person sitting in the viewing area, her only company being a random passer by.
Bella watched as a huge Air Continental plane tool off down the runway. It charged forward faster and faster, the sound its engine made was deafening, like an elephant ramming into a cliff.
She closed her eyes, feeling the floor shaking, and the sound waves vibrating through her body. The sound got stronger, and stronger, her body was shakier and shakier, until finally…lift off. She opened her eyes again just in time to see the plain sail up in the sky.
Also just in time to see out of her peripheral vision someone sitting down at the other end of her row of seats. She didn't bother to look over at them, because she could care less really about who was sitting there. That's the way she had been ever since…
'No' Bella frantically shook her head back and forth to stop her train of thought. She wouldn't let her mind go there, not after the good afternoon she'd had. The aching hole in her chest had almost stopped pounding. She had almost forgotten that it was there.
Almost.
Desperate for something to distract her mind she thought more about the stranger at the end of the row. Bella wondered what they were like, what their name was, what they did for a living, and why they were here. She didn't really care about that person; she just liked to guess, to make up imaginary lives for people. It was almost like by making up their lives, she could control the way that people lived from day to day.
Almost like, by making up their lives, she could make up for hers. The one that would never truly be lived.
The searing pain in her chest was a quick reminder that her thoughts weren't allowed to go down that road. Almost unconsciously she slipped her arms around her waist. Desperate for something else to think about she snuck a peek over at her companion. And her heart stopped cold.
AN: WOOHOO! First chapter is done! PLEASE review! It would mean the world to me! Try and guess who you think this mystery person is! xoxo
