Chapter 14: Gone With The Sin
Comments: Ah, back to the angst. Sorry, truly. But too much humor and light-hearted fun dampens my ability to write. What can I say, I'm an emo at heart. Forecast for today: Cynical with a slight chance of sarcasm. Keep an eye on the weather and tune in later for more updates.
Mood Song: Gone with the Sin by H.I.M.
I'm on my way to my apartment after having already parting ways with the others when it begins to rain. I quicken my step not wanting to ruin yet another uniform. But it begins to pour, making my attempts futile.
I have no idea what happened earlier that night during the movie. No idea whether that simple squeeze of Edward's hand meant he was beginning to accept my feelings.
Or it was his way of saying, 'I address you as my superior and that's all you're ever going to be.'
Curse him for being vague with his emotions.
I'm almost to my apartment when I hear a soft yet shrill mewling sound coming from the edge of the sidewalk. I approach closer.
It's a kitten: wet, filthy and practically hairless. It's eyes are still sealed tightly closed meaning it wasn't all that long ago when it was born. It's stumbling around on unsteady paws, still emitting that heart-wrenching shrill.
I run the rest of the way to my apartment. Upon locking the door behind me, I sink to the floor, the rough wood at my back.
I take in big gulps of air. I realize with a heavy heart. Some things you just can't save.
