[CHAPTER 18- Somewhere]
It was another day on the beach after a long, long ride. Another journey to the place he didn't know.
Somewhere.
Somewhere far, far away, long, long hours ahead. It was his last sanctuary. For the countless time, as he assumed, he was sitting somewhere. Sometimes it was beach, sometimes park. Another time it was a meadow or corn field. It didn't matter as long as he felt good.
He found it better not to dwell on the past but kept going. It was better for himself.
Now when he had a car he could go wherever he wanted or the road took him. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered anymore.
He just needed this freedom. At first it was just a runaway but now he'd decided it's something else. Just like everything in his life that was just something else.
Today had been a good day. He felt better.
Better than ever in all this time. And not only physically. Emotionally too.
Was it a sign? Was that meant something?
It felt weird. Weird but calming. And that was really confusing.
He sat down on the ground and breathed in the fresh air. It was so refreshing. So he kept sitting there until it started to turn darker.
Twilight.
His favorite time of the day. The moment of magic the nature brought. It just felt so fantastic. And somehow he didn't even noticed himself slipping even further into darkness. His mind was so wrapped up that he didn't notice anything.
This was still the day on the beach. Why there would be something else about it?
---
She was just walking down the beach. It was twilight. A moment of magic as she kept calling it. She loved this time of the day when everything was just slightly wrapped up into light darkness. The light seemed putting everything into surreal colours and shadows that made the imagination rose. It was perfect time to go for a walk.
But she didn't know whom she's going to walk on...
It wasn't like she was exactly paying attention to where she was going as the old memories consumed her. The day months ago when her closest friend decided to give up and disappeared from the surface of the planet. Literally.
But it was also the day they all came to realisation that maybe this was better for him. And she trusted his decision. If that was easier for him to let go.
Not that she was happy for that. She really missed him. All this time spent wondering where her dear friend was.
And all of a sudden her attention fell on the ground finally seeing that there was something on the ground. A shadow. A figure of a body.
What's that?
She wondered walking closer. And, just when she walked close enough, she finally saw the figure that was lying down on the ground...
Her breath stucked into her chest much as her thoughts into her brain.
Any thought just flew out of her mind as the image of the person lying there filled her vision.
She slid down on her knees and let her tears roll down...
A silver sparkles filled the darkness like a diamonds falling down...
The moment faded as the sun disappeared leaving everything in the darkness....
