So here's my re-do of Emotionally Frozen (5381740)
Something's are very different, some things are the same. But the basic plot line remains.
Disclaimer - I in no way own the character. Only the plot is mine.
Prologue
A Fork in the road.
That's quite a funny saying, makes me think of actual Forks on the road.
But that's not the point here, see everyone faces 'forks' whether they be literally on the road or figuratively.
Mine was figuratively.
The thing with one-way forks that have no label is that once you choose which way you want to go, there may not be a way back for a long time or at all.
And if you chose the wrong or more bumpier road, well, you're screwed.
So here I was at a fork – one seemed safe but wasn't the other wasn't safe but seemed so.
I've always liked to think of myself as a level headed and logical person. One who thought out every action, word, and situation. One who liked to play it safe – so safe that there were no chances of getting burnt ever.
It's not my fault, I got it from my dad.
You know, after my mom ran away and then promptly died in a car crash.
Yup story of my life, abandoned by my mother at age seven – only three days before her death.
Pity really, after all the money she saved and the effort she put in that three-line note she left behind.
So yeah, maybe I didn't know how to let my walls down or how to open up to someone in a non-platonic sorta way.
Maybe I really didn't know love other than the easy friend or family type.
Dad did always say to keep either my head or feet in the clouds, while the other stays rooted on the ground.
Thing was I didn't know which was which right now.
Coming back to my fork – one path would let me leave. Leave al this behind and forget it like some awful nightmare.
The other path – yeah, that would lead me to staying with him forever. It would lead to me having to fall for him.
But then again some small part of me said it was already too late, that I had already fallen for him. But that wasn't possible was it?
Honestly I don't know what I feel.
Is this what love is supposed to be, or is it something else.
Something like lust or a twisted form of Stockholm Syndrome?
All I know is that it wouldn't be logical, or even right for me to love him.
Sometimes choosing a certain path can lead to another more complicated fork.
Like this one, the one that says 'Do you love Edward Cullen? Take right for yes and left for no'.
Yeah, I was screwed.
If only they were forks on the road.
So thoughts?
