Miracle
It was times like these he wished it was him in her position. Not to just feel her pain, but to be isolated from everything. She may have thought it was a curse that was undoubtly placed on her soul, but for him it would be a dream come true.
If he could take that much away from her, he knew her recovery would be miraculous. But he knew miracles were impossible in this day and age, time and place.
He was trying to open the door to the restroom, where he heard her crying. He didn't call for any assistance; he didn't want to make a scene.
He felt hopeless shaking that knob, like a villain in a horror movie trying to capture his victim, though unlike the villain he couldn't reach his victim or his damsel in distress.
And then at that moment, his wish was granted, he felt the pain of being isolated and unresponded to, he slid against the door and clenched his locks, and winced in agony.
Life was cruel, you could only save so many people, but the ones that mattered were never accounted for.
His kin was broken, his pride and dignity were shattered, he felt like a child. He found himself scrawling a note on a paper and sliding it beneath under the door that separated them,
I'm sorry
And he truly was, he was able to claim existence on this life and she was barely cheating death and had no soul to share let alone a heart.
It must hurt too for you..I'm sorry
Her response had shocked him and he found himself looking towards the door as if he were to see her, but only found the door separating them.
And they both sat in silence on their own side of the door.
He was miserable, he was only able to watch, but not help
His arms wrapped around his legs, "I'm useless aren't I?' He spoke
She listened
'You always did the work and took my procrastination and my ignorance…'
She shut her eyes
'I made myself seem so high and mighty, but here I am just a puppet on lonely strings, I can't do anyt-'
The door opened and he felt warmth splay on his back wrapping him and his shoulders,
He was shocked
If only he knew he was something, useful, her prince in shining armour….
And they stayed that way, as the lights faded away from the sky, and left a soul healing and another to believe in miracles.
