Part 6
(actually, more of just a little addition.)
She got out of the shower, and towel dried her hair. She put on sweats and a light tshirt. She grabbed her sneakers, and kissed Aiden.
"I need to go for a walk. I'll be back." she said.
"Okay hunny."
She walked out the front door, and once her feet hit the pavement, she ran. She ran down every street. She ran onto the beach. She raced past every thought she had. Every feeling that had been holding her back. She pushed down her thoughts. She felt the tears begin to stream down her face. Why was she so messed up. Why would Aiden want to love her now?
She ran until she couldnt feel. She ran until she tripped over herself and fell facefirst into the sand. Her head hit hard, and she felt her forehead smack it. She just layed there. She felt the sand shape around her head. She closed her eyes and felt as if she was sinking into the sand. She imagined that it was overtaking her. She felt like she was spinning out of control, and like she was sitting still, but the whole world was spinning around her. She was completly still. She let every emotion over take her. She let her thoughts consume her, but then she pushed them right back down where they came from.
"I am happy," she told herself. "I have it good right now. I am happy. I am."
Chloe knew she was happy, and put her hands down on the cold wet sand. But, something stopped her. She wasnt sure she was ready to get up just yet. She didnt want to join the world again so soon.
As she lay there, she wondered how so many people could be in so many different worlds, but be right next to each other at the same time. She didnt understand anything in life, but she knew that she sure as hell didnt ever want to get up out of the sand again.
