Chapter VII

Let it snow...

I see the lights on all the homes. It's Christmas time and I'm still free. I feel as though I can actually rest now. I can feel my legs finally starting to give out. I even let myself collapse onto the cold hard ground. My eyes begin to shut. I can feel reality slipping away by the second. Let me sleep peacefully for now. Let me dream of what is to come. Let me forget the worst of my past. Let only those who care for me control my mind.

" I hope you don't think that you're gonna make it in this world. You have been a disgrace to us since you were born."...

" But mom, I'm cold. Can we please put on the heat tonight?" "Not until you can pay that bill yourself my daughter" "But I'm only 13..." "well then I guess that means no heater tonight or for a while"

" Please baby please." "But I really don't want to babe..." " Are you too good for me or something then? Is that why you don't want to be with me this way?" "No, babe that's not the reason." "Then this shouldn't be a problem to you..."

" So hun, how are you today?" " I've been good. What about you? You don't seem that happy =/ " " Did you know that you're the first person to notice that I'm sad? That means alot to me." " Well, I'm glad that does. What happened?" " SO much hun. It's killing me inside. I just wanna escape from my life." "Aw, I wish I could help you out. If only you could be with me. I'd make sure you are always happy..." " You mean that hun?" " Absolutely dear ;) "

I guess nothing ever happens exactly the way you want it to. At least I thought about the good before I awoke to a sudden chill. As I lifted my head, I noticed the snow that covered me. It actually made me feel strangely warm. The snow was like my own little blanket that wanted to keep me safe from harm. I can hear all the animals scurrying away; scared by the sudden movement of snow. The picture of December was surreal in my mind. It was almost like it was out of a picture or a movie. Everything seemed to work together seamlessly. Sadly, this picture won't last forever. Now I must keep going. I must find you. I need you.

Hmm, the plot continues to thicken. it's strange what a contrast it is between what her parents were saying in the second chapter, what they've been doing and what she thinks of them. also, who is this, i'm assuming guy, who she's trying to ,get to and why is she trying to get there and before who? such a good ol' bunch of mystery!
