I began to read a book patiently, as I waited for my mothers arrival.
As I flipped through the pages, I come to a stop. a familiar chapter had crossed my eyes.
...........................................................................
'.. y/n had panicked. closing the book immediately. her white dress dragging on the floor behind her. she found herself on the balcony. hands locked together..'
..........................................................................
I closed my eyes as I took a deep breath. my arms out like angel wings.
my hair waving like the grass from a gentle breeze.
I began to call out to the sky, hoping it would hear me.
" Take me into paradise. "
The feeling was desperate. something I could not define with my own eyes.
I was so high in my mind that moment.
As I was standing there, I heard a call from the driveway.
"Y/N! I thought you were reading, is everything okay?" It was my mother. she was as beautiful as a sunset. she was my everything.
"Right, sorry mom! I just got distracted by the weather. Its quite beautiful today." I replied with a gentle smile. gazing at the clouds.
"It is dear, but make your way inside and get dressed, please. We have a long day ahead of us." she said as she walked inside.
..........................................................................
'.. as y/n made her way back inside, she found herself glancing at the book. holding it up to her chest as she looked at her mirror. Turning her eyes back to the book, she began opening it, y/n was at a loss of words. she felt tears fall from her eyes. Y/n could not hold her weight. she collapsed on the floor, staring at her reflection. a loud thud could be heard from downstairs. her mother rushed..'
...........................................................................
"Y/N!!" her mother rushed to her, picking her chin up. she looked in the eyes of her daughter.
"Come here, baby." she grabbed y/ns arms, pulling them over her.
...........................................................................
'.. y/n sobbed as she felt her mothers comfort. she wiped her eyes after 10 minutes. y/n lifted herself up Infront of her mom. sitting on her knees as she grabbed the book..'
............................................................................
"Baby, I ask if your okay because of this. I'm not mad at you, I'll never be mad at you for not opening up to me. But when I ask, I at least want you to know you're being listened to." her mother added.
"Mom, do you remember-" she was cut off.
"H/N? yes, I remember." her mother quickly answered. she had an idea of what could've made her cry. she held her hand out Infront of y/n, asking for the book.
As her mother flipped through the pages, she was silent. until she closed it quickly. looking up at y/n with teary eyes.
"Baby.. if I knew about that chapter, I never would've given it to you. I'm so sorry. But maybe the book was made to find you." she'd say gently.
"If this book wanted to find me, why couldn't it have come from him??" Y/n replied.
her mother grabbed her hands. holding them with enough force not to harm her.
"Well.. because the night you came home covered in water, crying to me about what happened. you told me you never wanted to see his face again. why would you wanna see him if all he did was lie??"...
"You're right, mom. I can't do that again. I won't rush myself to feel love. not from him. especially him." she'd reply as she kissed her mothers head.
"Good job, sweetie. Now get dressed, we have lots to do today." her mother said as she got up and walked out of her room.
...........................................................................
'.. those words roamed y/ns head. her mother was right. why would she wanna see him again? why would she wanna risk that heartbreak again? but.. what if she was wrong? what if it meant something?
'..Could we have been meant to be??..'
...........................................................................
I walked over to my balcony, closing the door. closing the certains shortly after.
as I made my way back to my mirror, my beautiful dress flowing behind me, I began to tie a bow around in my hair.
"I have no idea where we were going but im sure its fancy. I mean, look at this dress. I dont get all shiny and luxurious for nothing."
I finished getting ready and headed downstairs. As I approached the bottom step, I heard my mother talking to someone. I didn't wanna be nosey, so I grabbed my purse and head to the car.
||\/[2 hours into the story.]\/||
I sat down quietly. my hands lapsed together. I began reading the book as there was nothing else to do.
As I'm flipping through the pages, a mysteries voice followed from behind me.
I ignore it.
"Y/N.." there it is again!!
I closed the book gently as I look behind me. all motion stopped. I could only hear the heartbeat in my ears.
"H/N!" I said as my breathing became shallow. I was nervous. He just stood there.
"Forgive me for not speaking, im just at loss of words with you. you're just so beautiful." H/N said with a gentle tone.
"Oh, thank you. forgive me for not being more patient." Y/N replied.
..........................................................................
'..y/ns smile had been on and off since that moment. the two sat next to each other. discussing books, stories, and complimenting one another. y/n grew more comfortable around him.
As the two laughed, the music got louder. more gentle..'
...........................................................................
"Y/n if you dont mind, would you mind giving me this dance??" He'd say with a nervous tremble.
y/n took the gentlemans hand, as he guided them to the dance floor.
as the music got louder, the two found themselves dancing hand in hand. gliding across the floor.
nothing mattered but them.
swaying back and forth. moving their feet to the music. locking eyes. holding one another closely.
"y/n, I'm so sorry. I really did love you. Please, let me show you!" H/N said stopping all movement as he held her hands tight.
.........................................................................
'.. y/n stopped all movement. she looked at him. her eyes couldn't bare staring back at his..'
..........................................................................
"I.."
I quickly let go of his hands. running outside the door.
