Words for thought~

Have you ever looked into someone's eyes long enough to see the heartbreaks? Those unforgettable lost loves that haunt even the ones who have gotten over those significant others...even then, when it's all finished and done; forgotten and taken care of. You can still see the lingering hurt, the want and the undeniable lost hope. Everybody has had that kind of love, the one that made you believe that you could have a happy ever after. That one that hurt you first and the most. That one that enabled you from ever trusting wholeheartedly ever again. The one that took you months of crying to try and distinguish from your heart. That one. This is a story of two people who fall into a pure kind of love. Who work through everything that life throws at them to try and be together~

All Too Well

Chapter 1

It was a blissfully cold day, one of those days that just felt so fresh and new, like a blank page with no writing on it, ready to be written on. The temperature had dropped into the low 20s, causing chills to run up Katlyne Andrews back.

And to think she should be use to the cold weather after one year? But no. She rubbed her mittened hands together in attempts to warm them, but to no avail.

She heard the well packed snow crunch beneath her feet as she walked up the hill to her job at the Ski Resort in Northern California.

And the cold still bit right through her.

Maybe it was the sense that she would have to face Kent. She thought about their relationship that had lasted for a few months and then that one day it was suddenly over... She shook her head trying to concentrate on the task ahead. No way was she going to let him ruin her first day of work.

She saw the double doors flip open wildly as employees walked in and out. The idea of seeing Kent so soon left a sour taste in her mouth and she held her breath, hoping to prolong their inevitable meeting together longer.

She saw her boss quickly walking up the steps to the double doors of the cafeteria, glancing over her shoulder to smile at me.

"Hi, how have you been Katlyne? Heard you had a boyfriend over the summer." There it was, or more fittingly there she was. Anita Danes. My boss. My really nosey boss. I smiled, despite her, despite Kent, despite everything, and decided to just have a good day. Letting out a pent up breath in a loud gush of air, filling my lungs with ice cold air. I resisted the urge to cough as I answered her back.

"Hi... and yeah last summer.. had- a boyfriend yeah...ah-" I somewhat yelled back, sounding quite unenthusiastic. Who could blame me though? I was feeling pretty anti social all because of one guy I regretted ever associating with for the first time in months and I could already feel the anger and pain boil in me.

I walked up the stairs, through the double doors and into the old and familiar kitchen, taking my jacket off just like every other time I worked her and hung it on the nail closest to the door. I gently put my apron over my head and took the tie behind my back, tying them as I walked to my baking area. Stopping by the window that usually gave me a clear view of the customers arriving, but was covered with wind blow ice and snow, leaving only a quarter of it see through-able. Although it wasn't high enough to block out the all too familiar sandy haired blond walking up the hill, with that familiar gate to his walk. Seemed like I mesmerized everything about him during our relationship... everything. Good and bad. And unfortunately, there happened to always be more bad than good with Kent.

"Good morning Katlyne! Good to have you back!" Mark shouted on his way to the back of the kitchen.

"Good morning Mark! Good to be back!" I smiled widely. Although the thought of facing Kent for three months was getting less and less appealing by the minute. I loved baking and if ignoring him would help, then I was determined to do just that if need be.
