"I just can't do this anymore." He paced back and forth. "You have to understand." He struggled to hold back tears but they came anyway.
A look of sadness passed through her face but soon was covered by a steal mask that covered her emotions. "No. No, I don't understand. You don't have to do this. There's no sensible reason!"
"Are you listening? I cannot take this anymore. You. Me. We're pretending to be something we're not!" He was crying heavily now, he didn't care what she thought anymore.
"I'm not pretending. I am what I am; you get what you see here!" Rachel nearly screamed while she shook her hand in the air.
"Oh, so you really are a heartless fool," Tobias said as he walked away from the one he thought he had loved.
The woods were safety. Safety from life. Safety from death. Whatever you wanted safety from it was there. He ran like he had his wings again, almost lifting him off the ground. For not the first time he wished he had never stayed. She had convinced him. Blinded him with her beauty and hope of a happy ending. The ending that was so far away but when she was close it was so close too.
She had blinded him. Cast her spell. Covering the light that he was suppose to go to.
The wind was cold. Freezing. Painful. Pleasant. He took off his jacket and knelt in the snow. His knees froze in place, it would have been painful if he were feeling. Feelings hadn't worked for him before so he decided to give up on them.
He slowly put his hands together and closed his frozen eyes. He prayed. Something he had never done before in his life. At first he didn't know what to say. Then the guilt came and it flowed like magic. Thanks, confession, whatever came to his mind he told. The cold was unbearable now but he didn't reach for his jacket. Something told him to take it, to reach for it, but he couldn't. No, he wouldn't.
He looked at the sky, frozen tears staining his face, and the stars seemed to sparkle brighter than before. Everything seemed to be fading. The breeze wasn't as loud. The snow wasn't as cold. The sky wasn't as dark. Someone is expecting me, he thought as a wide grin closed his grim face.
"I'm coming home."
