ELIJAH

It snowed today. I spent the day playing with Alana in the snow. I saw a different side of her today. The side of her that wasn't broken. The child her smiling at the snowflakes falling are around her and sticking her tongue out to catch them.

She looked so carefree for a moment. She had her scarf pulled up around her neck and she was grinning at the blinding but peaceful whiteness around her. Her nose was a bright pink and as were her cheeks.

She was so.... happy.

She looked at me and gave me a small smile before I felt a sudden coldness spread through my face. Oh it's on.

I bundle up a bunch of snow into a ball and chucked it at her back. The force of my throw made her face plant roughly in the snow. I laughed so hard to the point where I was hunched over and couldn't breathe. She got up her face contorted in anger. It looked kinda adorable.

She pounces on me slapping me in the back "I hate you" she says. Even though she was laughing to.

"I know" I smile proudly. She slaps me one more time in the back "Ughhh. Darn your full ass ego"

She gets up and starts to walk back to the house, I can see her small frame shaking with the cold .

"Wait I wanna show you something"

She wave a hand in the air as if to wave away what I said. I chuckled and ran up wrapping my arms around her waist to flip her over my shoulder. She starts to frantically slap my back. Screaming out profanities and threats. But then she is just laughing. Ha.

I carried her for a few miles, my foot prints leaving shallow holes in the white snow . She was counting each one commenting occasionally on how big my feet were.

*start playing the song here*

"Hey Elijah" I hear her velvet voice.

"The blood starting to rush to my head"

I chuckled and flip her up so she'd be sitting on my shoulders. She has her delicate arms resting on my head, observing the world around her.

We were walking through the forest. A small path in between the bare trees with icy spears hanging down off of them. The snow covered trees made a kind of canopy around us. The calmness blanketed us. A sweet silence. All you could hear is white noise.

Above me two Blue jays chase each other chirping happily and diving through the snow . We were getting close.

"Hey Eli" She speaks so softly as if she talks any louder it would shatter the peacefulness around us.

"Yes Alana?"

She doesn't reply for a minute. Pondering her next words.

"Why do you stay? Why not leave like the others?"

I hesitate. How do I tell her..

How do I tell her that I was once just like her. Just as feeble and broken. How do I tell her that I once placed a gun against my own head. How I once almost pulled the trigger. How my entire world was black. Covered in a dark veil. One you could see through. You could see on the other side everything you were missing and everything you didn't have. You were stuck just on the other side. Left alone.

"Sometimes even the smallest of gestures can change the most determined minds. I'm not doing this out of pity. I'm doing this cause I'm alone to. But how can you be alone when you have someone?"

She listen attentively . Her nose scrunched up in thought.

"Please don't leave me" she whispers.

"I'm not going anywhere" her hand is laced with mine and she closes her eyes drifting into her own world.

I can tell we're close when i see the trees start to part. Then I see it. The waterfall was frozen into a icy structure going down the length of the rocks into the lower pool that was now also ice. It looked beautiful as ever . Across the clearing you could see daisies . Growing. In winter.

What?

"Open your eyes" I softly say.

I hear a small gasp from above me and her hand leaves mine to cover her mouth.

"Elijah it's beautiful!" I set her down gently as she spins around taking in every little thing and detail.

ALANA

It was beautiful . It was like I was actually in a winter wonderland. To perfect to be reality to real to be a dream.

I look for Elijah and he was on the ice. A hand outstretched to me. I take it gingerly my feet landing softly on the ice I stumble and slip a bit before Eli catches me. He pushes off started to skate backwards. I follow cautiously at first but we start to pick up pace as we skate around the pool. Performing twist and turns .He takes my hand spinning in two circles and I land into his chest giggling. He smiles down at me.

I never wanted it to end. It relieved me of my pain. I felt so comfortable and free . So at home.

His eyes are the brightest blue I've seen. His smile the widest it could go.

I smile. Actually generally smile back.

Maybe I could learn to love this cruel world we live in...
