Hold my hand
Just 8 years ago she had packed up the only life she knew and run away. Away from the clutches of her small town life. Now she is forced to go back to that pathetic place. She cursed under her breath as she got off at the railway station. She was back, the realization had finally hit her, her eyes moistened and her cheeks flushed. But she told herself that it was because of the cold wind. She won't cry, not now, or all she had done would be for nothing. She picked her bags, clutched their handles tightly and walked out of the railway station towards the parking spot.
Mason was waiting for her there, the only person she still talks to from her hometown. He rushed upto her, took her bags, placed them in trunk and opened the car door for Cornelia. Once they both were settled and warm inside the car, he finally asked her, "How are u Cornelia?"
This question sort of opened her tear doors, she started sobbing trying her best not to cry.
.........................
A series of unfortunate events have pushed Cornelia Von back to her hometown. A place she willfully despises!!
But there is an interesting new comer waiting for her in this town :)

Chapter: Chapter 006CORNELIA My walk back to Darcy's from home was an uneventful but a painful process. I had twisted My right ankle while falling I think. Just as I had walked past Bella's, I was joined by Mason. "Corry!! you don't look good, what happened?" "I visited my parents Mason" The rest was understood between us. "You need to report them Corry! They can't treat you like this" "I'll take care of it Mason, don't worry!! You know they've done worse to me" "Corry .... but..." "Don't worry about it Mason!!! Let me handle my business!!!" I almost barked at him and I felt instantly bad. Mason was the only friend I have in Amryth, despite our history he has always stood by me. I should atleast be nicer to him, especially when he's worrying about me. "Mason!! I'm sorry.... I didn't mean too..." "It's alright Corry.... let me drive you to Darcy's and I'll forget that you snapped at me today", Mason said interrupting me. I let him help me to his car and then drive me to the motel

Chapter: Chapter 005CORNELIA I have to do this. I need to face my family. I need to walk up those steps and knock on the door. This is what I came here for after all. I make my way up the porch stairs and ring the doorbell for someone to answer the door. No one answers after the first ring, so I ring it again..... I won't go away without talking to them today. Just as I was going to ring the doorbell for a third time, my mom answers the door. "What are u here for now?...... After all the shame you've bought our family.... how dare u show up on our doorstep!!!!" My mother has a knack for dramatics for sure. Afterall she had no problem asking me for money over these past few years. She had asked more.... again and again and again.... and I had always given up and gave it to her. Matty had always advised me to stop, to cut all contact with my family, but I guess a part of me still wanted their approval. Besides, I was worried how my siblings would be treated if I didn't give money to my parents.

Chapter: Chapter 004Cornelia We quickly made our way back to town and then I bid Damon a good bye and made my way to Darcy's. Despite my nap beside the lake I was still feeling really sleepy, I made my way to the reception and asked for a room. I was quickly given a key card after the registration. As soon as I reached my room, I tossed my bag aside and collapsed on the bed. I could feel the sleep engulfing me. ........................................................................................................................ What am I doing at the lake.... why am I wearing a white dress.... is this a dream.... it feels so real..... I haven't had any dreams since Matty's.... I feel a hand at my waist, I quickly turn around coming face to face with..... Damon. "Damon.... what are u doing?" "Showing you a good time love...... you're so beautiful Cornelia.... I needed to have u " He pressed his lips to mine and his hands started cupping my cheeks. "Cornelia.... tell me that u want th

Chapter: Chapter 003Cornelia Mason was right!! Amryth is just the way I left it. Amryth's a small town forgotten by everyone outside of it, It stands still in time, and the people who live here go through the same cycles as well. They are born, they slack through school, find a girlfriend or boyfriend in high school, get married after graduation and then slack at their parents jobs everyday till they die. I know some wealthy outsiders view this kind of life as simple and idealistic..... but it's so far from that. "Dream Killer" that's what I call this town. Forcing every generation to live through the same lives again again and again...... with no way of escape. Getting out of Amryth was really hard both literally and metaphorically. This little dot of paradise was situated in middle of the fairy mountains, due to the difficult terrain there was no train connectivity and it was too small for an airport. The nearest train station was Charlottesville, from there it was a three hour drive to Amryth.

Chapter: Chapter 002Cornelia It has been 3 months, 19 days, 6 hours and 15 minutes since Matty left me forever. Every second seems too long now..... I can see the raindrops falling on the train window and I can see the greenery outside. The train is moving at more than 100 km/hr, yet everything seems so stationary. It feels like everything has come to a standstill, not moving no matter what I do. If it were up to me I would skip the next 10 years of my life in a blink. I know that even those would nearly not be enough to forget Matty, but atleast it won't hurt this much. My thoughts got broken by the station announcement "Dear Passengers, we have arrived at Charlottesville, this train terminates here" I picked up the one backpack I was carrying and got off the train. I needed a minute to compose myself... I repeated to me Matty is dead..... I am alone..... but I need to live.... that's all Matty has ever wanted from me...... I need to or everything I've done till now would go to waste.....

Chapter: Chapter 001Today would be perfect. I am so happy. Matty will propose!! He has invited me to Riverside. I am so excited, I must look pretty for him. He doesn't know, I have already seen the ring. Cornelia was literally floating as she got ready for her date with Matt. She had put on a turquoise dress that perfectly complemented her dark complexion. She was wearing light makeup when she received the phone call she never expected. On the other end was the nurse from City Hospital. Cornelia couldn't process what she heard from the other end of the line, so she asked the nurse to repeat those dreadful words."Ms Von, Mr Clement has gotten into an accident. He is currently undergoing surgery at the City Hospital. Please come here as soon as possible.""I am on my way, " she said in shock, feeling her knees go weak. She was on the floor for a while, whispering to herself...... accident.... surgery. She didn't spend much time there. She quickly composed herself, put on a pair of shoes, got into her ca
