Corrupted

Chapter Seven, Part One:

Chapter 7.1

Anna didn't know where she was going.

She just went.

She didn't realize how much she'd loved Travis

She didn't realize how much she'd needed him

She didn't realize how much she missed their walks

She didn't realize how many times she'd laughed with him

She didn't realize how many times she'd cried with him

She didn't realize how many times she'd fell for him

She also didn't realize how far she had walked

And how calm yet cold the Ontario air was

And how she couldn't tell the difference between her breathe and the cigarette smoke

She also hadn't realized that she'd walked all the way to her old university.

And how the college campus was so beautiful at night

And how much she'd wished she hadn't been a drop out.

The last thing she failed to realize, was that she wasn't alone.

Their were two voices muttering on a bench.

Their laughs were followed by shushing and more laughs.

And Anna couldn't help but smile at the two figures.

"You know you could easily get caught out here, right?" Anna walked up to the blonde boy who wore an oatmeal colored, stitched sweater and washed blue jeans and the red haired girl who wore an oversized flannel and ripped white shorts.

"Where's the fun in considering consequences?" Replied the girl who turned to face Anna.

Anna laughed and handed a cigarette to each of them, in return the boy handed her a flask and an introduction. "I'm Gary. This is Lauren" he said referring to the girl.
