Heartbroken
Song: Without You by Junip
(A/N: Well, it's KINDA an Eggy chapter)
Ella
I stepped slowly outside into the rain falling in pale sheets onto the dark, glittery road. The sky was pitch black. I turned to take a last look at the hotel where the whole Flock was staying. My coat was wet and slick to my skin, my bag was light enough to carry pretty easily. I just couldn't live under their example anymore. Always, why aren't you like them? Why not?
Always a disappointment.
I wanted so much to be like them, winged.
But that can't happen.
A lone tear whipped down my cheek as I turned away from the house and escaped into the sleet-coated road. As I boarded the midnight bus, I watched the place where my only love slept. I would miss him, and I would never stop loving him. I stared out the blurred colors of the land as dawn pierced it hours later. It may have been just me, but I thought that I saw a figure rise above the city and slip into the smog again. Maybe it was him, for which I'm sorry.
But I have to do this.
Iggy
She was gone. I had been trailing her bus for hours, but finally I stopped flying to hear her fade into the horizon. I did something wrong, I know. I stretched my wings out in either direction and let myself do something that I promised that I'd never do.
The white tile floors of the School gleamed back at me as the stick-thin nurse led me into surgery. Max didn't know about this. Maybe it was crazy, what I was about to do. The nurse led me to a bench in the room. The pain shocked my brain, shortwiring my thoughts and making me dread what was going to happen next. When it was over, I was shaking and bleeding onto the floor. But I studied my back with my hands. Smoothed skin with two identical ragged red fleshy, bleeding wounds where my wings used to be. The nurse smiled gruesomly at me. As I cried, the crystal clear tears mingled with the thick red blood into mixed trails down my chest and back. This is what she had done to me.
I missed her so much.
She left me,
Ragged.
Torn.
Beaten.
Hurt.
Heartbroken.
