In The Words You Left Behind

by Ultraviolet12

Elanor was a victim to a car crash. Theodore became a victim of his own mind. What do they both have in common? Violet. The sister and the lover, now the survivor. As Violet learns to live with the recent deaths of Elanor and Theodore, she finds herself again- the Violet that is scarred, but she learns to find beauty in those tough places. Rated T to be safe.

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't updated in a while- I was a bit busy. Anyways, hope you enjoy chapter four of The Words You Left Behind (it's probably one of my favourite chapters)!

One of the days that I am on the banks of the blue river, I listen to the recording of myself playing his song on my flute, and singing his song as well. I'm not a great singer, but I can hear his voice in my recording. I lie on the soft grass by myself, the same grass we both lay in together not so long ago, when we were happy. The same grass he lay on when I found him, when I wet the ground with my tears. I have so many good and bad memories here, it's a turmoil of emotions. I don't realise I'm crying until I go to adjust my headphones and my hands brush my face.

It starts to rain, and I remember that when we were little, Eleanor and I would always dance in the rain, so I push myself up and begin to dance on the grass, and then the rain gets harder and I tip my head back, letting the rain soak me through, all while listening to Finch's song, with my singing interpreting his words. I begin to spin, and his words envelop me in his presence, and I begin to hear his voice singing instead of my own. The words overlap, and all I hear is Finch, Finch, Finch. 'You make me happy... you make me handsome... you make me love you... it's so lovely... the one I love.' I fall on the grass, breathless and laugh the first real laugh I've laughed after he died. I laugh and I laugh and laugh.

If a song's meant to stay around, you carry it with you in your bones. - Jennifer Niven

Thanks for reading!

Please review, I need more ideas for what scenes to write about, and any feedback would be amazing!
