Chapter 15: Dark waters

POV: Lizzie

I decided to go with Mrs. Gordon's advice, so I lay on my bed, which was really the guest bedroom that would be my room since I am staying with Melina.

I lay there being calm. I closed my eyes and I could feel myself drifting off to sleep...

Small patches of water surrounded me, but the water was not clear like water in a bathtub, it was a dark midnight blue. I walked around trying not to step in the puddles, but I tripped over something and I fail in the puddle landing on my back. I looked up to see what I tripped over, it... it looked like my heart but it was split well more like torn down the middle. I went to put it back together, but when I looked down there was writing in the murky gravel. Fix me, to have a life.

I sat there on my knees just looking at my torn heart. I wanted to have a life again, I did, and I tried to fix my torn heart, but it just broke apart again...

"Lizzie wake up." I woke with a start not knowing where I was. Bright light was everywhere. "Lizzie are you okay?" I knew that voice. "M...Melina, I want to have my life back." I felt the tears come down my face, and her arms around me, comforting me.

I finally stopped crying and by then Matt was by my side as well. "I'm sorry I'm such a baby. What did you want before?" "I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to the park with Matt and me, you know get out of the house." I thought about I did need a change of scenery. "I'll go. Matt how are you doing over at Miranda's house?" "It's good, but I always come over here in the morning." "It will only take me a minute to get ready."

They both left me alone so I could get dressed. After I was dressed and brushed my teeth. I walked out of 'my room' and we walked to the park that was just around the corner.

As we walked, I thought about those dark water's and my torn heart. I was determined to repair it.
