There was a slight pause before malik finally opened his mouth,
" I...."
Serenity watched as he searched for an answer.
"I...No I don't and.... I got to go." Without another words he left Serenity
standing there.
Upset and Heartbroken Serenity left.
Rain started to fall showing her feelings deep inside herself. Small
crystal tears had made there way down her pale face. Puddles had formed on
the sideway and streets Yet she stepped through them, pretending that they
weren't there.
Ice cold water soaked through her thin socks and the rain drenched through her clothing yet she dismissed this entirally.
A baker shop, once full with warmth and happiness was dark and the doors were closed tightly.
Thoughts unknown to the world but yet known to serenity were swimming around in her mind taking the presence of the small river flowing downward on the street.
Clouds hung darkly overhead bringing forth more rain and now thunder ignoring the heartbroken girl before it.
Tears like the rain. Thoughts like the clouds and river along the street. Concentration like the puddles. Happiness locked away like the closed down bakery. Sweet memories before spattered like small raindrops hitting the ground.
She need him. Needed someone. Its not enough any more to have just a brother. She need someone arms wrapped around herself. She did not feel secure in this world she lived in. She no longer felt that young. She felt older as if she was once here before.
Cannot think. Thoughts sift through the mist and fog. She runs. She won't return. She will not return. She. . .Can't. . .
And so she continues thoughout the pouring rain. Serenity left Domino City.
~6 years later ~
"Its rainging again. No surprise... For this is how I feel." A tall women, now 20 years old, said atloud viewing the sign,
'Welcome to Domino City! '
Her hair was brownish red and was loose down her back. She carried one bag.
She used to be so fragile so secure and happy go lucky yet things have changed. For she looks like a model yet a crueler one yet in the inside, which has been locked away for 6 years, is still there. Hiding behind a wall she has built between herself and her feelings.
The 20 year old walked through out the entire town finally stopping at her home. She walked up the front stopp and rang the door bell. When there was no answer she let herself in.
"Hello? . . ." She called through the dark house. She could sense that there was no happiness ever since she ran away.
The furnisher was covered with dust and the lights have not been turned on for a while.
She placed her bag down and started walking through the desolant house.
Dust and darkness was all that was seen. Cobwebs clung to the ceiling and dirty dishes were piled high in the kitchen sink. A picture was lying on the floor. Bending down she picked it up and wiped the dust away from her sleeve.
It was a photo of a younger version of herself and her brother. A long crack was down the center as though it were dropped.
She carefully made her way down the small hallway and stopped at a closed door.
She heard someone rustle from inside. The women stood in silence, shut her eyes, breathed in softly and opened the door. She opened her eyes to see darkness. Yet in that darkness she saw a silhouette of a man lying on a bed.
She made her way carefully toward the bed.
"Joey? . . ." She hesitated before touching his shoulder the man jumped. She withdrew her hand and starred and the man.
He somewhat resembled joey with the mess of blond hair and skinny figure yet looked older and tireder.
"Joey? . ." She asked again. She heard him moan then sat up starring at her.
"Yes and who are you?" He asked tiredness dripped in his voice.
"Joey its me serenity. . " She sat down on the bed next to her brother.
"Serenity? . . ." She heard hope in his voice. She nodded her ahead and was greeted by a warm hug.
"Serneity I. . .I've missed you so much!" Cried Joey . The older version of Serenity hugged him back.
"I'm back Joey, and I swear I'll never leave you again. "
