With Love, From the Asylum

--
Belladonna sat there smiling up at him. He laughed and laced his fingers with hers she kissed him and he returned it. “I’ll see you tomorrow” he said smiling at her, “yep I love you” she said back.” He nodded and she turned and left. She walked through the door into the hall and into the common room through the next door and into the hall. Suddenly she remembered her bag. She'd left it in his room. She turned round and quickly grabbed the now shutting door and slid through making her way back to his room. The door was shut and voices coming under the door. “I love you” “I love you to” Belladonna opened the door to find Sam, her boyfriend making out with another girl.

Weeks passed and she cried so much she could have drowned him in her tears and she just couldn’t take it anymore. She walked the length to Sam’s room and doused the place in gasoline. She sat on his bed and waited. Eventually she heard him come in as he saw you his eyes widened. She pulled out a lighter and dropped onto the bed setting the whole room on fire. And then everything was black

Belladonna woke shivering. She stared at the little grey cat at the end of the bed and got up. It was still grey outside but she pulled on some jogging bottoms and a t-shirt and slipped out quietly. It was quiet except for the wind. She ran for half a mile before she reached where she was headed for. A little cliff that was completely secluded from the rest of the world. She sat there staring at the sky wondering if there was really a great force that had your whole life planned out for you and whether if you tried hard enough you could break it.

After a while it grew lighter and she sat up and began to run back home. Suddenly a hard force hit her and she was on the floor sitting on some poor soul. Looking down she was amazed at the guy’s looks. Ice blonde hair and blue eyes to match. “I don’t make a habit of having girls sit on me,” he said with a smirk. She would have disagreed from the way he looked but she laughed “I don’t make a habit of sitting on guys either” she said getting up and helping I'm to his feet. He leaned forward and kissed her gently “how about that?” he asked she shook her head “no I don’t do that either but I'm sorry I have to be home or they’ll think I’ve run off again” and she ran home

She was home in plenty of time and went upstairs, showered and changed. Then remembered her strange encounter and sat down. Thinking hard. She was astounded at the fact she didn’t feel like breaking into tears but also very relieved. Maybe she was actually on the mend. She went downstairs and had an orange for breakfast. “ did you sleep well, I herd you get up this morning” her mom asked Belladonna looked up in surprise she didn’t think anyone had heard her.” I slept perfectly thank-you,” she said smiling, “I just felt like a run, I'm sorry if I woke you”
