I ran. And I kept
running away from it all. My face was hot with
anger as the summer's rays beat down on me. I ran
all the way to the diner down my street. I was a
regular. It was my home away from home, only with
better food. I pulled open the creaking door
and slid into a booth. I tucked my knees into my
chest and plowed my head between them, letting
my dark brown hair fall to cover my eyes. And then
it hit me. Sorrow, the worst kind of hurt. Pure
misery, no hope. I felt the tears coming and didn't
fight them. They poured down my cheeks as a tried to
keep my nose from dripping. "Excuse me, what's
wrong?" His voice was so strong, yet tender and
peaceful. He meant no harm. His eyes were an
unforgetable icy blue, and his hair a dark shade of
blonde. "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to
introduce myself. Im Aaron, and you are?" I
wiped away my tears on my jeans and shoved my hair out
of my face. "Mia" I shrugged.
"Well, Mia, why is such a beautiful face so
sad?" My face started burning, I knew my
eyes couldn't contain the tears overpowering
me. I planted my face into my palms and continued
crying. Aaron slid into the booth and rested his hand
on my knee. Instantly, I felt more loved than I
have for a while.
