Chapter #4

Heather looked in my direction and tears begin to fall from my eyes.

She pushed Ed away from her.

" huh? What are you doing?" she said and Ed take it by surprise.

" What do you mean?" he asked Heather probably thinking why am I acting so weird? I quickly wiped my tears off, with my shirt sleeve. And thought, before they tell the truth to him. I need to do something to stop them.

" I meant to say what are you doing?"

Surprisingly, fainting sounded like a really good idea. If I fainted, I'd be unconscious, so I wouldn't have to see the impossible anymore, nor would I have to feel so dizzy and sick. Then maybe when I woke up, all of this would go away and I'd find it was all just a bad dream. The mist started to turn dark around the edges.....For the record: fainting sucks.

" Guys, I am,... not feeling right," I said out loud to get their attention towards me. And I successfully did.

" What happened to you? Robin came rushing towards me and behind her was Heather.

" What happened to you stassie?" Heather asked me.

" My head is spinning. I think I need to go home."

" I can call an ambulance," Robin added. I jumped right off to stop her from calling the ambulance.

" No, I don't need an ambulance. I need to go home and take my medication."

Robin raised her eyebrows and asked me, " Why are you insisting on going home? Are you doing this because you don't want us to tell him the truth?"

Robin is way more sharp than I thought, how she knows that I am acting but before I could answer her. We were interrupted by the handsome hunk.

" Excuse me, Heather are you going to tell me what is happening here? And who is she?" he asked Heather who looked deeply concerned about me but I was quick to respond to his question.

" Hello, I am stassie but you can call me Stas. I am Heather friend slash tenant. And this is Robin she is her friend also but not her tenant. Heather told us about you and it's a pleasure to meet you, Ed. But you know what we are in a little rush because I am not okay. And don't ask me why I am not okay because I am not able to explain to you. Hope you will understand." I said in one fell swoop.

And he scratch his head and from seeing his facial expressions he didn't understand a single word I have just said to him. Which is even better that he didn't understand.

" My apology, but I don't understand what you just told me." He spoke in his deep gravel voice.

" I can explain what she meant to say?"

Robin answered him on my behalf of me. And I almost blacked out.

" I-I can't breathe... I need air," I said and made a run for the exit I pushed Ed out of my way and Robin calls my name from behind to stop me and I heard Heather's voice Saying to Ed that she needs to go.

I quickly made my way out of the hotel and saw a few guests exit a cab. And with my quick thinking of mine. I jump in the back seat and instructed him to drive.

I closed my eyes and tried to discover where the happy half of me was hiding. I felt the tears trickling through my tightly closed eyelids. I felt Whisper's claws tugging at my jeans. I wanted to be all alone in an attic like Skellig with just the owls and the moonlight and an oblivious heart. -

And the next thing, I know I was I reach my destination just as the sun begins its descent. Sighing contently, I sit down at the top of the cliff to observe the setting sun. On the left, the City lights up as the sunlight reflects off the shiny rooftops of the shops and business buildings. The glass windows and doors shine with a brilliance that cannot be seen up close but from a distance, it is magical. The pink aura encasing the city seems surreal as my eyes follow the people heading toward their homes after a hard day’s work. A cool breeze brushes past me from the right and takes my attention to the sea.

The sea is breathtaking as the golden sun slowly disappears into the horizon. The now calm water sparkles brightly and the warm light gradually decreases, making the illuminated parts stand out. The air smells of salt even from the height and the temperature drops quickly. The sunset is a beautiful moment, the clouds lighting up as though on fire. The trees sway in the refreshing breeze even the birds fly to the nests, cawing softly to bid their friends goodnight. The red light of the evening sky is visible until the sun is completely gone from the picture.

The atmosphere has darkened considerably and for a while, it seems as if it would stay that way. Before long, the stars peep out and soon the place is once more trance-like. The tiny pinpricks of silvery light surround the glorious moon that is reflecting on the surface of the water. The moon sinks as the tide rises to meet its copy. Now bewitched, I stare at the dancing fireflies which add their light to the brilliance around them. A lone cricket chirp and soon enough, the night sounds started up in a chorus, almost as it is being conducted.

I turn to the town which is deserted even as the moon’s white beams soaked through the reflective surfaces. The shadows of the night are sharp and contrast deeply with the full moon's glow.

This is my comfort place whenever I feel low I come over to find peace.

And today is one of those days that I am feeling lonely, broken, sad, overwhelmed. What did I just do to deserve this? nobody wants me. I don't deserve happiness.

Tears began to form in my eyes and my phone begin to ringing. I took it out of my pocket and glanced at the screen and only find...
