Chapter One : Saturday I'm Lost

Long dark brown curly hair, kissed here and there with red and blonde, wondering green-ocean blue eyes that seemed to glow when they studied you. Jess loved life, but she longed for something more, and it showed through her deep eyes that seemed to leave you in a trance. She longed for adventure, romance, someone that had eyes that would leave her in a trance. It showed all the time in every one of her paintings. Her looking out a window, laying in the grass, searching the skies whether it be day or night for someone to come along, someone to whisk her away, and sometimes her dreams showed her a blurry figure. The only thing she could ever make out when she dreamt of the mysterious figure was his eyes. Dark green eyes that had a light to them, that left her breathless every time she woke up, clutching her heart. Nevertheless, she shook those dreams, filing them into her box of nonsense, pouring them out into her journal and never ending paintings and sketches.

The alarm clock went off. Grumbling, Jess pulled back the covers and crawled out of bed, "Sunny day, what do you hold for me today?" She answered her question with the everyday response, "Boring, Boring, Boring things not worth mentioning."

She turned on her stereo in her bathroom and walked over to the gigantic window with double panes, and sat on the huge ledge, sighing while she looked at the sky, listened to the birds singing non-stop, and smiled as the sun warmed her face. Jess sighed and stepped into the shower, and let the warm water wash away the constant tears flowing down her cheeks. She was tired of dealing with life, with the haunting loneliness, the dreadful memories she carried with her every day, and ached for a day that was filled with nothing but pure bliss, a day where a pure meaningful smile was permanent on her face, even when she slept.

She took a deep breath and stepped out of the shower, and when she was dry she slipped on her shimmer white cotton summer dress with spaghetti straps and pale pink rose petals dancing in swirls around the bodice, since London seemed to be unusually warm that Saturday.

"You know what, today there is something in the wind. I will make the most of this gorgeous day. I am at least entitled to one beautiful day where pain does not severe my hopes of happiness."

Jess smiled at her determination, and leapt down the steps, carrying a book in her right hand, a book that was extremely worn, and had a cover with a leaf-clad boy cleverly smirking at the reader. She opened the back door to the house she rented her room in, a room that had a history, many had explained to her. The window she had opened happened to be the very window the same leaf clad boy with the cocky smile flew through one unsuspecting night many a times. Jessica ran into the garden, where willow trees and a garden full of roses and daisies greeted her, her favorites.

Jess made a garland of pink and peach colored roses and gently placed them upon the wild brunette curls. She danced and laughed and sang songs of love sadness and adventures for two, throwing her hands in the air and twirling amongst the flowers, embracing the sky and breathing in the earth. She was not aware though, that she was being watched by a brilliant pair of dark green eyes with a certain light to them, capturing her every move, leading a small smile upon soft lips.
