A year and I have been wondering, looking for a place to go to remove the people I loved
from my mind. Everywhere I searched I never found my sanctuary, trying to leave my
Problems, and ignoring what I have learned. The people who I loved still thought about
me, and I still thought about them more than often. I left a year ago, I can't remember
why though its been to long. Only my feet pounding against the wet sidewalk and the
humidity in the air made my mind wander. My heart ached as it did everyday my mind
thought and would remember the old days. Why did I decide to leave when I knew to
much of my heart was given away there. My apartment would lay empty everything sold
and hidden, little memories of me might have been around like the clock and couch, but
Landon almost certainly would have moved everything sold and left, forgot about me. I
left London that year, the night after I died. Stumbling and crying like a stubborn child. I
Left for Paris and stayed under the Eiffel tower hearing the hustle around me, I can still
Remember the horrible dream I had that night. I shook my head and decided maybe it
was time to return home and see how much had changed.

I walked along the abnormal sidewalk ignoring all the creases and dents, heading toward
The lake side. Along the warm wet grass I found my comfortable spot to watch the sun rise turn the horizon pink and orange. I thought of the times I used to have Moments like this, and how things where so long ago. Where I had left my heart next to the one I loved to long ago. The only thing about that night that danced in my head was how there was no echo of breathe for the last few seconds she had said she loved me, her eyes fluttered closed but never seemed at rest under her eyelids. The cold crept into her body, I could feel that much. Still doubt was always in my mind that life could be that cruel.
My mind wandered still when a slightly drunk girl my age came stumbling around the corner of a bush near by. She was lovely with a strong scent that I couldn't put my finger on for a minute, until I realized it was the smell of orchid. She was crying and reminded me of Maya a little bit already.
"Miss, are you ok?" my voice sounded husky and tired as I asked the question in the darkness
she stumbled and looked around through the darkness probably to identify who was talking to her.
"Huh, um what? I mean yup" she sounded unsure still looking through the darkness trying to locate me.
"are you sure?" I said
"y-yes" she finally found me her eyes adjusting and looking over.
"Do you need me to walk you home?" I said unsure.
"No-no, I'm fine I'm walking right now walking" she said stomping her feet over and over again.
" ok, if your sure" I said
she looked unsure before stomping over and bending over me, her frame was small and she had fiery red hair.
"you look creepy!" she hiccupped and sat beside me.
" well I'm sorry then…?" I asked I was unsure what was going on but I chucked anyway.
"Do you know what SUCKS!" she said she soon started to cry and heave.
"um, what?" I said sounding just about as uncomfortable as I was.
"My BOYFRIEND broke up with me! Then kicked me out of my hhhooouuuseee!" She squealed through her tears.
"Well, so you're homeless?" I asked unsure of what was happening
"Yes sir! I live under bridges starting tonight and sleep in dirt!" she started to roll on the ground and hiccup.
" um, that's really unfortunate." I said kind of quietly.
"Yyyyesss" she said sobbing heavily. I felt bad for this girl even though I wasn't sure who she was, she reminded me so much of Maya I couldn't let it go.
"Um, look I have an apartment, it has an extra room. There are a lock and stuff and its somewhere to stay" I couldn't help but to say.
"…ok only for the night" the girl was still crying as we got up and began to walk towards the building.

I was on my way home finally, waiting for tickets for a flight back home was a terror, but I had no idea what would happen when I got there. I missed the familiarly of home, and I couldn't wait to return just to see the look on Landon's face when I came back.
