On The Edge Of Life
Nia
"No offense but you are always so grumpy, it's actually kind of cute." I bluntly say to him and watch him throw me a nasty glare, I just giggle at that.
"I'm not." he defends himself in a calm yet stern voice keeping his face emotionless.
"sure." I find myself saying sarcastically.
I think I'm too drunk because there is no way a sober River will have the courage to hold a conversation with a very grumpy Killian.
I expect another scary glare to come towards me but instead I meet with a soft gaze that stares at me with an unreadable expression.
"I'm not." This time he says softly, I see him biting back a small smile and , he smiles. I've never seen him smiling before, not this way.
Standing on the edge of life, River breathes in and lets himself adjust into a new life, into a new family. After a horrifying past he finds his life wrapped around a shaggy orphanage and several foster homes which makes it hard to believe that he is actually being adopted.
Having a family was always a desire of him but to his burnt luck, he doesn't feel like he belongs in his adoptive family. Everyone and everything around him make it clear that he wasn't born to be happy.
River is waiting for another push, one last push to end it all and fall from the edge and that's when a grumpy looking Killian Price steps into his life. River can't decide if Killian is the saviour or the devil himself.
River's life meets with unexpected secrets mixed with burning desire, adorning the melancholic attire. Soon, he finds out he isn't the only one standing on the edge of the cliff, or he realises he is far from the edge.
