hello, this probably won't make any sense unless you've read my complete LoTF fic called "No Sunlight"
which follows Ralph after the island and shows what a complete mess he is.
alsoooo, some Ralph x Emily is implied, so if you're not down for that, I don't care ~ c:

it hints towards a sequel, but I'm still not sure if I wanna do that ~

hope you enjoy this :D


FIFTY WORDS

01. Dozen

Too many thoughts running wild in my head, and they were screaming.

02. Flatter

"I'm Ralph." I said, and she said I had a nice name.

03. Angle

She was beyond what the world was, she was pure, innocent, I could barely believe she was right in front of me.

04. Take

I couldn't, I could never open her eyes to this cruel world.

05. Need

Someday, I'll tell her though, someday.

06. Blush

Did she notice I was staring at her for a little too long?

07. Word

"It's complicated," I told her in the beginning, but I knew she didn't have the slightest clue.

08. Apathy

Did she even care, or even know?

09. Whist

I had to keep my mouth shut, not because I was scared of telling her, but because I felt like I was going to cry.

10. Longing

I needed to tell someone, I needed to, just . . . not now.

11. Rival

I don't know where he came from, or when he came, but he appeared, out of the blue.

12. Style

Badly burnt skin, yellow teeth, pale hair, he looks so familiar.

13. Fit

His presence was so unsettling, it was almost suffocating.

14. Even

She had her own problems, I couldn't burden her with mine.

15. Serenity

Knocking on her window at night, her smile, her presence.

16. Lead

No I can't, never again.

17. Stress

"She's leaving Ralph, and you didn't tell her. She's leaving forever."

18. White

I'm the opposite.

19. End

Of the year, it wasn't going to be the end of us.

20. Snow

It seems much colder than usual.

21. Bizarre

Why was she going away? When I needed her, why?

22. Window

She wasn't there to wait for me.

23. Buffer

Distance myself from everyone as much as possible.

24. Full

Of regrets, if things left unsaid.

25. Average

That's not that case here.

26. Passion

I see it in his eyes.

27. Rest

None at night, none were it should be.

28. Culture

I don't understand how exactly friends work anymore.

29. Mystic

That's him, he's not real, he's not real.

30. Stranded

Been there, done that.

31. Grave

Is that really the only way? The only way to have your friendship?

32. Blue

Into the water, so we can be together.

33. Repent

Waking up in a four wall, pure white room.

34. Wing

Therapy was better then I had expected.

35. Drip

Ringing out my feelings until they are understood.

The first time I saw her since we fell in the water.

37. Spoon

Her lips caressed mine.

38. Past

"I think I need to tell you something."

39. Deceive

"I think this is long overdue too."

40. Least

I've never felt so fragile in my entire life.

41. Prestige

"Okay Ralph." She replies. "I'm all ears."

42. Front

No more putting it up.

43. Language

Could she read body language? Hopefully not.

44. Gear

I had not been preparing for this at all.

45. Sparkle

In her eyes, do they mean something?

46. Answer

She doesn't have any, but I don't blame her.

47. Spirit

I feel so . . . free.

But what do I do now? Where do we go from here?

Flash forward to the future.

Will it still be like this?
