Chapter 1 - Beach
Thing's aren't always as they seem. My smile can hide my scars, pain, and my broken heart. The pain and agony of missing him. But I guess moving on is best.
People look at me, as I smile. They look at my wavy hair and tell me how thick and beautiful it is. I reply with a thank you. Some tell me a have a pretty smile. I also reply with a sweet thank you.
Some just plain tell me I'm gorgeous. But who said I wanted that? Well, I don't. Not from them anyway. I want him to say it. But he wont and never will. So I have to wipe my tears away, smile, and walk… away from it.
Honestly, I've tried. I don't know if I can though. I wish I knew if he thought of me like I think of hi. If only I knew. But I don't and I promise you I never will know.
"Why do you always do that?" my mom stopped at a red light.
"Do what?" I replied, questioningly.
"Daze off into space like an alien?"
"I am an alien…" I smirked.
"Ok, Bliss…" She gave me a weird look.
"Rawwr!"
"Dinosaurs say rawwr not aliens. Duh!" my brother butted in like the nosy little boy he is.
"What do aliens say then?"
"We come in peace." He said it in a robot tone, which made my mother and I giggle.
"Noah is an alien!" my mom yelled in a funny voice.
At that moment I saw him. Walking on the streets of Fairfield. My mom noticed me staring at him. But he had no clue I was right in front of him.
"Bliss?"
"Mhm." I looked at my hands on my lap, blinking away the tears. Keith… He just left me. Ran away from me. Let go of my hand without looking back and ran away.
"Mom can I go to the beach?"
"Umm, why?"
"Please, I just want to sit for a little there."
"Ok. Let me drop you off."
Five minutes later I was saying bye to my mom.
"Call me when your ready."
" 'Kay."
Sitting in the sand I remembered this was the same spot. The same spot we sat. Holding hands and laughing at our little jokes. Silence isn't so bad. Until looking at my hand The spaces between my fingers are where his fit perfectly… Wish he was here. Holding your hand. But never will it happen. It's okay… No it's not.
I sit in silence watching the waves, as my tears slip down my cheek.
