ALRIGHT. IM SORRY. I HAD TO GET THIS OUT! THIS MOST LIKELY WILL NOT BE A PRIORITY STORY. BUT ENJOY AND IF YOU REALLY WANT MORE UPDATES THEY WILL BE GIVEN!
Alone, they were two tragic stories. Two lost causes. Two more numbers on the infinite scale. Two jagged pieces of a whole like seashell fragments tossing in the ocean waves, slowly eroded and worn down until they are nothing.
But together, they were the very tide. They were the sun, they were the moon.
Together, they were infinitely terrifying.
But her story starts in the chaos of London at a Council Estate, no family to be seen as she is yanked about in her daily bedlam. She is told what to do and where to be and what to be and where to go and who to admire and while she's so tired of it all and wants to scream at the world until their ears rings for eternity, she thinks that she deserves it. She doesn't believe that she's part of something greater. She never thinks she'll be able to make someone happy. She doesn't have anyone to look up to, no family to confide in. She's young and hopeless, nineteen years old and in a city of millions yet so, so alone. She works for years, always putting a bit of money away for who-knows-what, until she checks her savings one day and realizes she has enough to make her escape. It can be quiet, it can be easy, it can be peaceful. As soon as she can, she packs her meager belongings in her second-hand car and drives away. She wants out. She needs to get out.
His story begins with an end. He's suffocating, drowning in all these strangers who call themselves family while they tell him what to do and where to be and what to be and where to go and who to admire and he doesn't want to upset them so he goes along with it his whole life...and by the time he realizes what he has they've all dwindled away. They've died of old age or gotten married or had kids or got a job and he's just stuck. Never moving forward. It's like he's left in a giant mansion that once held so much life, but now he's alone with only the echo of the walls to accompany him in his aimless wander. So he gathers every penny he's saved up in 21 years of life and he runs. Some part of him thinks he's finally changing, while another part thinks he's sinking in old habits like quicksand. But he just runs. He wants out. He needs to get out.
A short time later, they click together. This is where their reign begins— At a lodgers house on their path of flight do they find each other.
And when they collide, the stars will sing.
Hello! Yes, sorry! This has been swimming in my head—partly inspired by 0RainbowProductions videos—'A Small Safe Place in This Troubling World' and 'My Mind Holds The Key.' I will be updating other stories soon, promise!
