Adam and Eve
Peacefully sleep on the bed of hay
Looking at each other
Not knowing one another
One thing they did know is
That they have safely arrived on Earth
Together, however…
Oh, how tragic they were
"Go," she said to him. "Go wherever you like. If you would like to go now, do so quick, or I will change my mind."
She raced up the stairs as the bell rang thunderously, desperate. One step, two steps… Yes, just a little bit more, she told her wobbly feet. Three steps, four steps, fi….
She burst into uncontrollable tears.
She held her face weakly and cried at that place, not caring if she was seen, not caring if she was heard.
How could she be possibly like this? She was sure the pain had disappear, yet why…
She cried again, leaning on the side of the stairs, hiding her face behind the fold of her arms. Why, it was only a childish crush, it was only unrequited love, she thought that she had freed it from her mind, yet why?
As the tears momentarily stopped, she fought her way up the stairs again, and onto the school's rooftop. One and two and three steps, four steps, five steps, six steps. Yes, it is a lot easier now. Keep going. Seven steps, eight steps…
She cringed. Ah, the tears, they are forcing their way out. Please, not now, not when I haven't reach the –
Soon the tainted grey door came to sight. Her hands reached for it without hesitation and yanked it open. Basked in light, the ancient, yellowing tiles of the floor seemed to glimmer against her eyes. She covered them slightly, then when she saw that the sky had cleared from the continuous rain, and was glowing as the sun smiled its way towards her, she was blinded, and she had to entirely block the light. She chuckled humourlessly and felt the contradiction. Hey, anyone up there, she called out through her mind, stop fooling with me. Who are you to mock my useless life, and leave it stranded in a dessert without an oasis? Because of you… I… have nothing left… Stop joking around with me and undo your pranks!
The invisible person, if he really was real, or if he really was really listening to her, didn't make a sound. There was no answer, no sign of a presence, and she had now felt that hope had escaped her side too, just like every other person who she loved had. She knew this familiar taste in her mouth.
Please, she thought. Please let me be in peace. Take it away. Take this feeling away. If I could trade anything in return of this feeling…
And Eve ate the forbidden fruit helplessly
… I would, gladly.
And just like that, the feeling in her chest vanished. There was nothing in her chest, nothing was present. Love, hate, sadness, jealously, pain, none of them were there in her heart. Nothing, as if they weren't even there in the first place, as if, for her, their existence, by some leap of fate, had been wiped out of history, airbrushed out of history, taken out of an important image.
She simply sighed and cursed loudly, "If it wasn't for me in the first place, then you should have just gotten rid of it, you idiotic fiend!"
She looked at the blinding sun once more and saw its smile again, though, she thought for a moment that it wavered. But it seemed to be just the trick of its light, because when she returned the smile, the world had turned to be a cheery place.
Little did she know that a head had found its way to the door behind her, and its eyes seemed to wonder why she had said that.
They have fallen to Earth
And live as human beings
They knew their punishment, but were unaware of the little twist
God has commanded their logic to fall down to this wretched world
And be of strangers to each other
Promising that the only thing that would connect them
Was a hidden piece of red string
Which may stretch or tangle
But never break
Tying their little fingers
Unfortunately, being the bull-headed person she is
She searched for the hidden string
And cut it with her own scissors
Now she was an outcast
In this love-ridden planet
Waiting for the days
Until her life will end
Through this tainted, grey door, he has found her. Now longer shall we wait for what fate might do…
Dammit! This chapter irritates me so very much! I' m so frustrated! D,X Oh, hello! How are you doing? Fine? If so, good. This chapter... AH, I WANT TO SMASH IT INTO PIECES! It is so hard for me to write a love chapter like this (please please please do tell me if it's too sappy or cliche... or just plain disgusting) For the people who read this chapter, just this once, I beg of you to tell me how this chapter has been. Please tell me your honest feelings (I'll accept it). Thank you for for reading! Have fun, and enjoy, (Oh, and review ^-^).
Dear Arlequino - Oh my... I just realised you were the one who wrote 'SkipDeleteRewind'! *squeal* Really, I should have known! I've read it and reviewed it, and I still didn't know that it was you who wrote it until now! *slaps oneself* I could tell you that it is one of my favorite stories, and I feel so happy that the author of my favorite story is looking at my story *grins* Ah, now that I could tell what your preferences are, I think that more or less you are like me (though I've never tried the genre horror before). But I'll try to do my best. Thank you for your support. Thank you for reading. And thank you for telling me that I will not disappoint you *tears of joy*. I hope I won't disappoint in this chapter.
Dear Marshmallow Dinosaur - I love your name! x3 Anyway, thank you! I could not find any other words to describe my gratitude to you. Your review have pushed me away from the edge, and that makes me happy! Thank you for reading and reviewing :)
