in the moments before we breathe we learn to adjust to the light, a concept sometimes hard to grasp but with our newborn eyes we find the shapes and grasp the lines that tie us to our new world. I may have been that innocent once... but recently things had begun to change.

 

Crystal had been staring outside of her window, a girl with an abstract perspective on life, the type that had grown up accustomed to being an 'outsider'.She traced her fingertips over a wooden splinter jutting out of the timber frame, closely inspecting the panel beneath her hand. Why after all this time had she been so foolish? hadn't she learnt from the last boy she had dated that love was the cause of her unhappiness? she studied the wordwork harder and softly wept as her shallow tears dripped into the grains that had been exposed under her fingertips. No Crys.. you must not cry. But why? why can't i cry? it was a form of renewal, it's how i learnt to cope right? Another problem Crystal couldn't fight was her sychzophrenia, soon she would open the doors and she would act as if everything was alright but she already knew that the voices would come to her that night. Althought throughout her life she had always been alone it seemed to her now more than ever that life was cold, an empty and infested world filled with mistakes and regrets, She knew what she had to do but before she could cry again she slipped from her thoughts and left the dimly lit room with the hope that something would change.

 

The doors swung open, Josh couldn't help but admire her persistance, she was stronger than he thought she was. had it only been a day ago that he held her in his arms as she cried and opened up to him? he felt it hard to believe that the girl he worked with could really have been so deep and compassionate. his thoughts remained solely on her confession last night, she had been heartbroken once again by that douche Jason on the soccer team.He sat at a cafe table and thought about the girl in front of him, the girl with the jet black hair and the soft pink lips, he knew it wouldn't be long till he had Crystal to himself.
