"Through the storm and seas, they live happily ever after together... Forever. The end" mother finished.
"Oh, please one more time, mother! Just once more." I begged with big puppies eyes.
"No No, dearest. You must go to bed, you have a big day ahead of you" mother said standing up.
"Fine... but promise me you'll tell me it tomorrow night then?"
"Always, dearest. It's my favorite story too!" she answered reaching for the light, "Now goodnight Rosemary."
I heard the ocean crash against the rocks through my shut window. Mother says my name, Rosemary, means 'Dew of the sea or The Sea' and ever since I was born, I can hear it talking. He is my best friend, but when I don't come out to play, He becomes very anger. His waves become towers, and he tends to cry at night. If I'm too far away from him, I grow weak but if I'm close to Him, I am very strong.
The story mother was just telling me, is my favorite and it's about a little girl. She is sixteen years old and lives in a Water Tribe. She talks to the water and is able to control it. I am not able to do that; instead, He talks to me and controls me. I know mother is skipping parts of the story. I can feel it, plus He tells me. I ask him to tell me the whole story, but he refuses. I need to learn those parts, and that's where my adventures start.
With one more crash against the rocks, I close my eyes, and whisper "Goodnight, friend."
They had both been dealt enough tragedy in their short teenaged lives, more than anyone should ever have to endure.
Will two self destructive teens coming together do more harm than good?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know what came over me.
The poor guy just asked if he could help and I went all 'crazy psycho bitch' on his ass.
I couldn't breath.
I needed water.
I needed air.
Fuck why was is it so hot in here.
Was it the fact that the moment his hand left my skin I felt an unbearable need to feel his touch again or was it hearing him ask if I needed help that made me feel helpless and broken once again.
I didn't know what it was but I felt like I was suffocating, like the jersey I was wearing was strangling every ounce of oxygen from body.
