Cancer p.o.v

I held my mothers hand tightly, her breaths were quick and shallow her eyes locked onto mine they were filled with pain but yet she still smiled. "Don't go...please" I said sadly holding back rivers of tears from crashing out. She simply kept on smiling "cancer you are my boy...my son... you are strong..." she closed her eyes wincing from the pain "you need to move on knowing that I will always love you no matter what" her eyes twinkled with tears "no please stay with me you'll get better... just don't go" I cried letting a few tears escape they trickled down my cheeks dripping onto the hospital bed. "Cancer..." my mother looked at me with a look of sudden peace on her pale bony face "yes" I said my voice cracked with sorrow "I love you" she looked away her eyes following something in the distance her breaths grew smaller until there was no air left in her. She was gone.

It had been a month since my mum had passed away. I couldn't of moved in with my dad because he left me and my mother when I was 4 now I was 15 I had no idea what he was doing or if he even remembers me so I had moved in with my uncle and cousin, School became harder, some kids stopped talking with me I don't know why... maybe I stopped talking to them, my friends grew bored of me I couldn't blame them all I did was sit and gaze off with my own thoughts, though my best friends stayed because they were the only ones that knew my mum died... Capricorn,Taurus and Pisces they had helped me a lot but nothing could take the pain away. It was if my heart had a massive hole in it and it created this horrible pain that always lingered it stopped me from moving on... I wanted to it's what my mother wanted me to do but my heart only wanted to grieve. The only way that helped the pain in my chest to edge away was when I was at the ocean. The way the waves crashed made me forget everything I became lost in the sound of the water and the endless beach that carried on for miles. The pain didn't leave it just shrunk with the sound. I guess that was the oceans way of helping.

Libras p.o.v

It has been 5 years since my parents left me and my little sister Clara. I was only 10 and Clara 5. It's not like we cared we didn't miss them at all they did was smoke and drink my dad would get angry and ruin the house and my mum would always take out her anger on me and Clara. Sometimes they would drink so much they passed out one day mum had to go to hospital when she came back she promised that we wouldn't have to deal with her and dads problems anymore. That night she put us to bed, the next morning. Gone . They left me and my sister alone in a trashed cold home. After that I packed our bags grabbed Clara by the hand and ran. The authorities caught us on the brink of starvation. They never could track down our parents but they could find our grandmother. She lived in an old beach cottage on a cliff that over looked the sea. Ever since our lives turned up our grandmother was kind and looked after us. The cottage only had two rooms so me and Clara shared a room but we were fine with that. Everyday I took a walk on the beach wether it was with Clara or my grandmother or with my friends even alone I always walked along there. If I didn't I would always break down crying or I would block my self off and become a grumpy figure that reminded me of my mother when she growled at us. Unlike my mum and dad their medicine was alcohol and drugs that made them angry and abusive my medicine was the ocean it made me calm and collected if I didn't see the waves crash or feel the sand between my toes I was rude, grumpy and shut off. My grandmother says that my childhood scarred me and the only way I can cope with it is the beach. I don't think she's wrong.

Cancer p.o.v

I walk down the rocky pathway that leads to the beach. I've already walked down it thousands of times but every time I almost trip on the odd stone that appears at the bottom. I make my way to my cave. Not really my cave but I always sit in it it over looks the ocean and no one else goes in there. Well I don't think anyone else does apart from nesting birds that ignore me when it's nesting season. I climb up the cliff face latching onto outcropped rocks in the cliff face I leap and heave myself up into the cave. I sigh and lean onto the cold wall of rocks and stones. I pull out a picture of my mum from the front pocket of my jacket. I smile sadly as the pain in my chest jerks making me wince . Just before I put the picture back in my pocket I look into my mums eyes. They were a bright electric green that danced when she was excited. I had her eyes but mine weren't as bright they were a darker green that my uncle said they used to go bright when ever I got presents. That made me laugh. I put her back in my pocket and look out to the sea. I notice a girl with light brown hair flying behind her like a flag walking along the beach she often paused to pick up a shell the continued to walk. I had seen that girl lots of times when ever I came here I think she came here more than I did. I always wanted to go and talk to her and see her reason to come to the beach. I haven't worked up the courage to go and ask. I continue to watch her then she turns and starts to head my way. "Oh shit" I say to myself

Libra p.o.v

I finally decided to go and talk to that boy. He always sat in the cliff cave and looked out into the sea or sometimes I caught him looking at me. As I neared the cave I noticed how nervous he looked "hey" I called out "hi" he says scratching his neck "mind if I come on up?" I ask "sure" he shrugs moving out of the way  as I climb on up. "I'm libra" I say as I reach inside the cave. "Im cancer" he replied. He was leaning on the wall his black hair was messily covering his green eyes. I have to admit he was pretty good looking. We sat there awkwardly until he spoke up. "Why do you come to the beach?" He asked simply " because it's a break from the normal world" I answered looked out to the crashing waves. He smiled and sat next to me. I felt a blush grow over my cheeks. "I feel you and I are similar in ways" he said in my ear "yeah I think so too" I grinned


Cancer p.o.v

Everyday me and libra met at the same cave everyday. We became best friends non stop talking or just looking out at the sea... but sometimes when she was focusing on the beach I found myself staring at her... i saw how beautiful she was the way her long hair reached the rocky floor and how her bangs circled around her face and the way her grey blue eyes twinkled when I said something funny. When ever I was with her I felt different much more happy it took me time to realise that the aching in my heart my mother left in me didn't hurt. She made me happy and I couldn't let her go.
"Hey libra?" I asked looking at her, she snapped back to reality "yeah?" She said coolly her eyes were distant. "Have I made you feel anything?" I continued awkwardly scratching my neck, she gave me a sideways look "what do you mean by that?" She questioned her eyes were twinkling with amusement "well ever since my mother died I...I.. always felt grief and it really hurt so I always came down here and when I met you..." I looked up she was staring at me her grey eyes boring into me " That pain left you make the pain go away that's how you make me feel happy,loved  I...I was just wondering if I made you feel anything?" I blushed feeling stupid, I spoke up again noticing how she wasn't talking just staring at me with her piercing eyes "it's j..just your a..special to me" I looked away blushing madly. I expected her to just carry on staring at me but she moved and say next to me. "Your very VERY special to me" she finally said I looked down at her she was smiling up at me. I hugged her and before I knew it my lips were on hers. As we broke apart we were both grinning madly.

"I love you"

"I love you"





Well that was my first one shot... that was pretty shit because I focused on the backstory more than the one shot. But oh well I feel this could be a whole book but idk. Leave suggestions!
