Hey guys,
This is my new story. I hope you enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow, can't even stand outside for more than five seconds."
"Is that a problem?"
"So what, you're completely incapable of helping?" Levels were rising and they were both getting upset.
"No I'm just sick of doing whatever you want and getting nothing in return." Bella threw her arms in the air and Liza took that moment to move. Liza jumped and moved at Bella, their arms colliding and a few slaps and punches are thrown.
Liza knows she could never beat Bella if it came to blows so she retreated down the hall to her bedroom. Bella was suffocating, standing in the middle of the kitchen so she took the best route out. She ran out the front door and didn't look back. The worst part for her is that there is nowhere to run, especially barefoot and still in her pajamas.
Bella ends up sitting on a few rocks next to a small waterfall in the middle of the woods. She can't manage to calm herself down. She closes her eyes, takes a few small breaths, and focuses on just the sound of the waterfall. She finally calms down enough to think about what exactly just happened.
How could she possibly forget? She used to know, she used to understand what it was like to have to be here 24/7. I didn't think she could possibly forget it. I used to be there for her, when it was her in the spotlight. I sat with her, got her to stop crying, I was there to stop her when she tried to hurt herself. I thought maybe when the day came that Iwas in that position she might return the favor. Apparently I shouldn't have expected so much.
I know she knows what it feels like to be older than you are, to for some reason feel like you have to be in control of the situation, no matter what or where it is. I always feel like the outsider, like I should get the joke but I don't. I think she knows what that's like.
I just want to be my age for once. I just want to stop being the mature one, the one who has the situation under control, and the one who will take care of it. I want to be able to be the one who makes a mistake or fools around and doesn't have everybody looking at me like I've lost my mind. I want to be able to spend time with my friends and not revert into the part of my brain that is always thinking or over thinking.
By this time Bella had worn-out her welcome in the woods. As much as she loves the serenity of the rushing water, she can't deny the fact that the woods kind of creep her out. She was moving back out towards the road when another rush of emotion came over her. She stepped on a rock that dug into her foot and she could no longer hold off the tears she had been fighting for the last 2ish hours. She sat down on the side of the road, with her head between her knees, to cry them out.
She was sitting there, probably hitting about the half hour mark. She was thinking about how alone she felt all the time and she was wishing yet again for a way to finally escape. With her head still between her knees she was furiously trying to wipe away the last of the tears that had betrayed her strong facade. She heard someone sit down beside her. She didn't exactly know what to think or how to feel about the fact that there was an unidentified person in such a close vicinity but they just sat there, and for some reason her body just wouldn't conjure up the fear that her mind knew should be there.
