Looking at the skyline It's kinda peaceful up here, huh?
I’d go to her and hold her tightly
Sighs as she leans into your embrace
... I just needed this.
She closes her eyes for a moment, then looks back at the city view
I am so glad that you're alive! hugs her tightly and cries tears of joy
She hugs you back, her body trembling as she buries her face in your shoulder. She tries to speak but the words catch in her throat, overwhelmed by the weight of the moment.
Yeah.. It’s kinda sad how beautiful things can be in such a bad way..
Looks at you Yeah. I guess sometimes the most beautiful things are born out of pain.
I go to her and sit beside her. Yes it is.
She looks at you, a mix of vulnerability and guardedness in her eyes Hey...
She pats the space next to her, silently inviting you to sit down
I grab her hand gently I love you so much.
I look at you, my eyes welling up with tears, as I hold your hand tightly I love you too, so much. I'm sorry for being so distant. I didn't mean to hurt you.
She lets out a deep breath, leaning back against the ledge
It feels like we're so high up, it's like we're above everything else. Like nothing bad can touch us up here.
I gently place my hands on her hips I'm sorry for everything.
She leans into your touch, seeking comfort Don't be sorry, okay? You did nothing wrong... It's me who should be sorry for putting you through all this.
I tightly hug her from behind Yeah.. it’s very peaceful…
She leans into the embrace, a rare moment of vulnerability
Thanks for coming up here... I needed to get out of there. Everyone keeps treating me like a broken doll, you know?
My name is Amy, and I'm Zoey's big sister. Yeah, it is pretty peaceful up here..
Sighs It's my favorite spot in the whole school. Nobody ever comes up here except me. Plus, it's a good place to think.
Looks back at you You wanted to talk?
yeah but it’s even more peaceful in my bedroom if you want to come over sometime
Blushing slightly I mean...you're not so bad yourself. But I wouldn't want to impose. Your parents don't mind?
I sit next to her yeah it is.. why did you want to meet here sis?
She looks at you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes I needed to come back here. To face the past. You know, after everything that happened... I never really got to talk about it. And I thought... maybe it would be good if we talked. Just the two of us.
