Broken
Chapter 1
I pushed my toes into the cool sand, while the soft breeze blew
my hair back. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath of salty
cool summer air. For a minute I was all alone, in my own world
with no one there to remind me of what I had run away from. For
once in my life, I was happy. Nobody could tell me I was wrong,
nothing could hurt me. I was finally free.
"What's a pretty thing like you doing here all
alone?" Said a male voice.
I turned around, coming out of my world, and into the cold
reality.
"You really shouldn't be around without someone keeping
an eye on you. Someone might try and nab you." Said the
voice. I looked up into the boy's face. His dark eyes were
covered by his thick black hair, his tan muscular body glistened
in the sun light.
As the boy sat next to me he asked, "What's your
name?"
I just looked at him, expressionlessly.
The boy stared back at me for a minute. Then When I didn't
respond he said, "My name's
Tyler."
I stared at him for a long time, trying to figure out what he
wanted. Why he would ever talk to me. Then, I said,
"Hi."
He gave me a sly smile and said, "What's
up?"
When I didn't respond he just said, "Are you going to
tell me your name?"
I just looked at him, then turned back to the ocean, watching the
light glitter over it like crystals.
"Fine, let's play a game." Tyler said. "You
tell me your name, and I'll leave you alone. If you don't
tell me your name I'll just sit here and bug you until you
give in."
I sat there, thoughts about what this boy wanted running through
my head. As I sat there watching the waves splash onto the shore,
I saw the boy staring at me. Waiting. I didn't respond. Then
someone called out, "Hey! Hey Ty! Come on! We're gunna
be late! Who's that you're with?" Tyler looked over
towards the voice, then turned to me, "You win this time,
but I'm sure I'll see you around...Mystery girl."
Then he got up, and ran off to meet the other boys. As he turned
his back to me I watched as he ran off towards the town. I
watched until he was out of sight.
