Alice In Wonderland, chapter 8
I stared out at the lake dazedly thinking about what had just happened. Secretly I still wanted to be friends with my mum. Secretly I wanted everyone and anyone to feel my pain. Secretly I wished I had never met Billie but at the same time wished he was holding me in his arms at this very moment.
A tear managed to escape from the corner of my eye and track its way down to my chin. I moved my gaze for the first time in God knows when and wiped my tear. I lay down to steady myself. My head was spinning frantically and all I wanted was to leave the planet. To somewhere where there were either no people at all, or people who wouldn't judge me or try and control my life for me. I looked at the bright sun that was starting to set then closed my eyes for a bit, only to find I couldn't open them again. I brought my legs up close to my chest warming myself as I slowly drifted off to sleep.
I woke to find the stars had flickered onto the night sky. I got up and look around shocked as I slowly remember what had happened. I rubbed my face sleepily then looked out across the lake only to find someone sat on the jetty. I could tell it was Billie's silhouette straight away. I got up and dragged my feet to where he was. I sat down beside him and stared out at the lake in unison with him. I didn't dare say anything to break the beautiful silence. I rested my head on his shoulder as he put his arm around me. The minutes went by slowly as we sat together with nothing but the nature making sound. He put his hand on my hair and stroked it lightly.
"I'm sorry," he said blankly.
"No don't be sorry. My mum told me what she said to you."
"Oh."
We seemed to have no emotion in our small conversation but it was best that way. No emotion at all and there would be no way of getting hurt.
He started to lay down on the jetty dragging me with him. I faced away from him and subtlety snuggled myself with him. He put his arms around me and brought me as close as he could get me to him. He protected me from the night cold as he fell asleep, breathing lightly in my ear. I was overwhelmed by the moment and tried to soak in every last bit of it. I closed my eyes and fell asleep hoping I would dream of this very second over and over again.
