Chapter II
FLASHBACK
Ebony sighed and let her head sink onto her folded arms that were lying on her desk. It was more than three hours now that she had sat down to get things done for college, but it seemed to her as if somebody had erased everything that she had learnt in the last months.
She sat back and took a look around the library. People were sitting, engrossed in their books and notations. She shook her head, the sun was shining brightly outside the windows, it was obviously not the right day for learning.
'That must be why all the others refused to come with me…', she thought to herself and started drawing little ornaments onto her psychology book. Suddenly, a voice called her back into reality. "Mind, if I take a seat?", a male voice asked. She looked up, a boy was standing next to her, his blonde hair fell into his face, a smile playing around his lips. She raised an eyebrow. "Why should I?", she asked back and put her stuff to the side…
FLASHBACK END
When the aching is over
I hope we can talk again
I hope that you'll understand me
I wonder if I ever will…1
She remembered nearly nothing from her way back home. The familiar streets, the familiar houses seemed strange to her in a way she couldn't recall. It was more than pain that she felt, it was more than feeling simply miserable. She never wanted to do this, but what should she have done otherwise? Lying once more? Pretending not to have done what she had done? No, she couldn't do that… Although she didn't understand herself these days. Everything had gotten so difficult, almost unbearable. 'It's not his fault…', a tiny voice inside her head whispered and she knew too damn well that it was right. It was not his fault. It was her own.
She unlocked the door to her apartment and switched the lights on. Since she had moved to college, she lived here with her sister Siva. Siva wasn't around, she had gone to some expedition for the weekend. Ebony went inside the kitchen and got herself a glass of water. If she only knew how to make things right…
FLASHBACK
For a while both of them sat quietly next to each other, both of them concentrating on their books. Nevertheless, Ebony managed to have a look at his silhouette from time to time. She had never seen him here, he must have moved here this summer. He wore black trousers and a fitting shirt of some band Ebony didn't know. Which was strange, as she knew a lot about music.
"Mind having a coffee with me?", he suddenly said. She looked at him, just realizing how deep brown eyes he had. She smirked and with a glance outside the window at the clear blue sky, she answered "Why not?".
FLASHBACK END
Taking a look at the picture of the two of them on her bedside table, Ebony switched off the lights. But as she was lying there in the darkness, with no sound around her, she couldn't help herself.
A single tear slid down her cheek, followed by many others.
Tears for lost chances.
Chances to be happy.
