HELL's POV

My life... have always been... a constant running away-- from the end.


Time and time again, even if I know it will eventually catch up to me, I never really knew how to stop running.

Every time we'd have a date that requires us to meet instead of me picking her up-- I always arrive 30 minutes early than the time we are supposed to meet up. I do this because- I don't know. Probably because she have waited so much for me, and... it was my only way to wait for her too? Or, maybe, because... compared to the times I didn't have to wait for her and the times I had to, she appeared more beautiful in all those times that I had to?


I... arrived at the restaurant 30 minutes early.


I was asked to sit on one of the chairs upstairs by the staff, but I insisted on standing by the stairs. I insisted on waiting for her by the entrance.


After a couple more minutes of standing there and waiting, the door finally opened.


She arrived wearing a vintage looking cream white dress with long sleeves and frills. 


I told her once in a song that she 'was wearing a white dress that doesn't suit her at all', I TAKE THAT BACK NOW.


White dresses, to be honest, they- 


they definitely suit her now.


Time slowed down as I watched her walk towards where I was.


A couple more steps closer and our eyes would definitely meet.


But, out of nervousness? 


or maybe shame? 


or, cowardice? 


Or, because- even though she's beautiful she still looked like the end walking towards me-


At the last second, I instinctively looked down. at my feet.


I... thought I would run. Away. Honestly.


Like I always do. But- 


my feet...


somehow...


remained perfectly still?


Unmoving...
