The Lonely by Christina Perri

Katie's P.O.V

I don't know this girl. I can't regonize this girl in the mirror anymore. The girl I knew was strong, kind, strict yes but sweet as well to a certin boy. But this girl I was forced to know now was weak and let people walk all over her. She was strict still but rude as well. I didn't know her. My friends didn't know her and he didn't know her.

"Lonely as you are the stars are farther away. Like the moon in the sky you can't be pulled astray Keep me in your heart, a locket within that picture frame. Because your smile is brighter than the stars and moon combined." I sang quietly to myself. My grandmother always sang that to me before bed when I visited her. I found out a week ago she had died. And they buried her without me knowing. All I had now was her song.

I slipped out of the cabin and into the woods. Nothing really happened in at night. They all just don't go into the woods to scare us but when you're lonely you seem to not be afraid of anything. I started to quietly sing the old lullaby.

I walked till I got to the creek. The things about being lonely is that you never really feel it till you lose the all the people you love. I had lost everyone. Even Travis. He didn't break up with me but I have been shunning him every chance he tried to talk to me. I just wanted to be alone. It was about 2 a.m. I sat by the creek. And I started to cry.

"Katie? Are you alright?" I jumped and saw it was Travis.

"Yeah fine." I said shortly. He sat down next to me, which I can say I liked so much.

"No you're not. You've been ignoring everybody for almost two weeks now. What's wrong?"

I shook my head. He wouldn't understand. It slowly began to rain. But I could have cared less.
"Nothing happened. I just wanted to be alone."

" That's not it. Because you have been rude to every one. Connor I can expect because it's him but your siblings too. Katie what's wrong?" He grabbed my hand. "I just want to help."

"I always had this dream, of dancing in an empty room with my grandmothers lullaby playing. A more fancy version of it at least. And I always thought that it could-no-would come true one day. But now I know it never will."

"Why?" He asked.

"Because my grandmother is dead now. They buried her without even telling me. I found out because I tried to call her and my grandpa had the nerve to tell me over the phone. Not in person but over the phone."

I started to cry. But the tears got mixed in with the rain so I knew I could cry without Travis knowing any better. But he could tell he pulled me out of the rain and under a tree to keep dry from the rain. I sat down against the tree and pulled him down with me. I cried all my feeling out into his shoulder while he held me.

"Katie you shouldn't be this lonely. Ever. Why did you even try to keep people away?"

"I guess I thought being lonely would replace her for awhile. But it didn't. It only made me more sad." I said.

He held me till I stopped crying. "What was that I heard you singing?" He asked after awhile.

I sat up and wiped a few stray tears. "It was a lullaby my grandmother always sang to me when I was young. I would spend endless weekends at her house and she would sing to sleep with the song."

"Can I hear it?" He asked.

I shook my head. "No I can't sing very well."

"Oh come on. You can't be that bad. Just one little part?" He asked.

"No. Now we need to get back to camp. It's late and I would like to get some sleep. Maybe some other time."

"Now there's the Katie I know and love." We got up and started walking back to camp. Talking about random things on the walk there.

Right before I entered my cabin he gave me a quick kiss and whispered. "I love you." And with that he left before I could respond. I quietly walked back into my cabin and climbed back to bed. And for once I wasn't sad when I fell asleep. Because Travis had taken place of the loneliness I had let settle over me.

A/N Hey guys so this a bit more depressing. I had to re-type this twice because my laptop thought it would be fun to delete the whole thing! Don't you just love technology? So yeah this is a Tratie story in case you didn't catch it. So please enjoy and review!
