The girl who sat on the beach

The salty ocean air flew into my nostrils, the new fresh air that had just been viciously recycled by the cold British sea. As I stood on the old brick wall looking out to the shapeless sky, the only thing I could think about was the single piece of lonely hair trailing down the curved back of the girl sitting on the beach alone and lost like the piece of hair floating in the wind. That single piece of hair lost and forgotten.

I started thinking about her life, she could have been considering the same thing as me and I wouldn’t have known, maybe her situation was worse and there’s her staring in to the deep, endless ocean nothing else. I considered walking up to her; The sand between my toes and the rocks digging into my feet the long walk to get to her. I would sit down slowly. She’d be startled at first, but then, but then I’d just talk. I’d tell her about my life, tell her everything, just everything.  I’d tell her secrets I hadn’t even told the people closest to me.  For no reason, I would wonder for years later why that girl. I would never find an answer.

She would tell me how her life was ending and she couldn’t stop it, she would tell me about how she was the only one left of her family and how she just wanted someone to talk too. We’d talk for hours nonstop until the sea starting creeping in on us and we would wonder in the days to come how time went so quickly. We would have both known it was only for that day we’d walk our separate ways and live our lives and never talk about the day we had spent together.

 But that only happened in the movies.

I took one breath of that fresh new sea air and stepped off the ledge.

You don't how many times I thought about something like this happening XD
I'm like... Why does it seem easier to talk to someone you don't know and I've come up with this: They may judge you but you won't have to see them again. You don't have to worry about facing them again and them interfering with your life.

I really like how you play out the whole story through your characters mind. It seems more likely that they walked away... but then again people are full of suprises XD
Good story :3 ★

Up to the reader's imagination, of course. Upi've done a good job here...the unanswered questions that never get answered...the maybe's that never turn into positivies...
