Prologue
It was a beautiful autumn day. A day that wasn't too hot or cold but perfect. The heat wrapped itself around you keeping you warm and safe but there was a breeze that made sure you didn't get too hot, it was complete bliss. Leaves fell from the many trees, detaching from the branches they once called home, spinning and spiraling down to the ground in a gentle but graceful manner. The waves rocked back and forth in a rhythmic motion, its spray making everything around it glisten as the suns ray's beamed down making it glow.
Molly sat there with Her legs crossed at the end of the pier. Both of her elbows were on her knees as she rested her head upon her entwined hands. Deep in thought, she had her eyes closed and her brow was furrowed. You could almost hear the thoughts running around her head, trying to get into some kind of order so they could be understood. But failing. She sighed massaging her temples a little, thinking this hard could be quite painful. In defeat she opened her eyes to be greeted by slight darkness. Stars could now be seen scattering the sky, twinkling like Christmas lights. The sun had almost vanished out of sight but a breathtaking hue of reds, yellows and oranges could be seen at the horizon meaning a nice day was in store tomorrow. Footsteps could be heard from behind her, getting closer and louder with each step. Molly turned around out of curiosity to find Gill Standing there With an ever present frown upon his face. His arms were crossed tight across his chest and his foot tapped impatiently on the floor. Gill was snobbish and arrogant. Not many people on the island could stand him, but Molly tried so hard to tolerate him as she wasn't one to hold grudges for no reason. Looking back out at the sunset she let a smile creep onto her lips, "It's beautiful isn't it?" Her voice cut through the peaceful silence like a knife.
"Hmm?" his tone seemed like he was occupied, but she decided to answer anyway.
"The sunset, the sky, the stars. All of them combined are just breathtaking."
"Oh that. Well yes, they are quite exhilarating." His eyes never left her as he said these words, he seemed somewhat distracted. Molly got to her feet and dusted herself down. She had spent nearly the whole day sat here so her legs were a little wobbly as she tried to move forward, she laughed at herself but she finally became steady and came to stand in front of Gill.
"Was there something you wanted Gill?" The brunette ask politely, giving him a friendly smile as her eyes scanned his. He seemed to falter for as second but re gained his composure quite quickly.
"Well no not really. I saw you sitting here and it was getting dark, so i came to check of you was ok." She laughed quietly at his statement, Gill was ever the gentlemen, well to her at least. "Oh and your significant other was looking for you" He said quite bitterly, but she didn't notice. Molly's face fell when she heard that. It wasn't as if she wasn't touched that her boyfriend was looking for her but she had been having some conflicting feelings towards Owen lately. She couldn't seem to see him as more than a friend anymore. She didn't get the butterflies when their eyes met. Her heart didn't quicken when they got close and she didn't feel a spark when they touched or kissed. She didn't feel anything when she was around him anymore and that was beginning to scare her. Why had they vanished? This is why Molly spent alot of time sat thinking here on the beach trying to figure it all out, but no solution ever came. Could she go on living a lie and pretend everything was ok? She definitely couldn't bring herself to tell him, he would be heartbroken. Something she couldn't live with. Molly looked back up to Gill, he looked concerned "Are you ok?"
"Yes i'm fine thank you Gill. Just tired, i think i might just go home to bed. If you see Owen again can you tell him i'll see him tomorrow please"
"Of course" he nodded his head slightly. she smiled and walked past him back up the pier, she stopped for a second and turned back,
"Thank you for the concern Gill, it means a lot" She didn't stay for a reply or to see his reaction as she quickly spun back around headed home. She had a lot to sort out, hopefully a good nights sleep would make everything clearer in the morning.
