Chapter 28 - Drifting Away
Vivid reds dripped down Joel's scruffy chin as orange tints airbrushed his outline. Specs of dust illuminated in the peach hues that contracted against Amy's dark shadows. Deep brown eyes mirroring Joel's emotion as her heart raced by the second. Her ice cold body intertwining with hot mess,
"I never meant to hurt you-" Joel stated in a whisper as his hazel eyes focused on her cut up shoulder and back.
Amy arched her back as her cold blue fingertips slid against the burnt brown floor coated with various bright hues. Liquid rainbow reflecting their distant bodies as Amy moved back, she didn't feel right with him. Glancing down with watery eyes she shivered as his warm fingertips touched her cheek. Blurred vision in a haunting daze as she looked at the muck of colors on the floor-all from before.
Orange tints painted the clear skyline, a yellow glow highlighted the blondes body as she steered the car in Joel's driveway. Gabby let out a angered sigh as her hand rested on the door, she wanted everything to be back to normal. She missed the way it was.
Amy squirmed at Joel's pecks and promises. She just wanted him to be himself again, she wanted to get out of this dream. Shutting eyes crying silently as Gabby knocked the door, Joel turned with a growl as he walked over.
"Go away." he ordered to the stranger.
"Let me in Joel. Now!" the blonde demanded with a deep blue in her eyes below narrowed brows.
He opened the door as Amy stood up in a torn mess, her mouth dripped blood as her neon pink ribbon ripped in the mess of her bangs. Saltwater mixed with thick blood trails beneath her cold wet feet, she had a terrified look in her almost black eyes.
"Don't do this to me.." the ribbon girl whispered as she locked eyes with her old friend.
Black eyes reflecting a speck of turquoise blue from the blonde by a few feet, inching closer. Amy focused as her pupil formed a pink heart, the sharp curved outline grew as her vision changed colors. Lost in her mind her knees buckled in front of Gabby, her thought stunned in a still memory.
Solid color spectrum paint drops fell to the snow white floor, her brain buckled to the growing strokes. Brush after brush her mind painted a familiar monster in front of her. His eyes reflecting the pink ribboned girl who had the widest smile on her face.
"Bye mouse!" she waved inches away from the beast.
The strokes faded away as he turned, rat paw prints wet with the solid medium. Amy smiled with inverted heart eyes, she felt serene and herself again.. Her same bubbly self.
"Amy?" a female voice called in confusion.
The little ravers love struck eyes turned a normal brown as she turned from a state of trance to reality.
"Are you ok? You froze for a bit." the blonde girl stated with worry.
"Yeah, I'm fine.. Just- where's Joel?" Amy panicked as her light coffee colored hands sweated.
"He's upstairs, why? Everything is fine." Gabby smiled as she looked at her bestfriend.
Amy rushed upstairs, step after step she noticed she wasn't in pain, bleeding, cut up, or cold. Her black skinny jeans swished as she quicker her pace up the spiral stairs-her neon "Felix the cat" tanktop bouncing with each step. Joel looked over the calm peach painted sky with a smile.
"Amy!" he called with ecstatic look on his face below a white Neff hat.
He acted as if he hadn't seen her in years.
"Joel?" she questioned as she swallowed hard in worry.
"Yeah?" Joel replied after he kissed her cheek in a hello.
"I love you." she answered with a bounce in her rainbow converse.
"Well I love you too." Joel smiled with his raver as he blew out smoke between his teeth.
He held her hand tight making her neon kandi coated arm sway, their eyes sharing the same colors of the orange and pink sky.
"I'll always love you."
Joel promised as he stared at Amy's happy energy.
Her attitude was so addicting and contagious, as if she was born to make people happy. Born to be happy with whoever she pleased, and she would celebrate that by raving. She missed raving, the colorful auroras, the ecstatic smiles, and the upbeat tunes. It was her home, it was where she felt alive.
"Joel?.." the ribbon girl cut his stare.
"Yes?" the producer continued.
"Let's do a show tonight." Amy said with a smile as she squeezed his hand tighter.
Her eyes smiling at the mau5 in ecstasy, she just wanted one last show with him. One last time to let go.
