Title: Disappointment
Challenge/Prompt: # 104 Storm
Original Fiction
Characters/Pairings: She
Rating: none
Warnings: none
Disclaimer: My own. No stealing. BlaBla, you know the drill...
Summary: Perhaps cycling, fighting the wind and hoping for rain to cool her head, will make her calm again. 


She races through the house. Ignoring her mother's shout of surprise when she rushes past her, in a hurry to get out. Away. Just away.
She gets on her bike, cycles as if the devil himself is catching up with her. As if she can feel the hot flames of hell on her back. 
There are tears rolling over het cheeks. Uncontrolled. Sobs escape her. She can't hold them back. Doesn't want to.
Surprised looks from people she passes. But she doesn't care. They can't know the turmoil of emotions inside her. 
She wouldn't mind a real storm right now...

Summary: Even if you know the truth, loving someone can make it all confusing. 

 

 

She frowns. Wondering what he means. Wondering what the hell she means to him.

 

He says they are just friends. Just… Friends. But when he hugs her, looks at her. Sometimes she can swear there is more… More to his touch, more in his eyes. More than he tells her. Sometimes she thinks he is flirting.

And other moments… Well, she knows she is nothing more than a friend. That are the times she sees him kiss his girlfriend.

 

There is no confusion possible. She knows. There is no way she cannot know. And yet, he keeps on confusing her.
