Hacking into my Hyper-linked Heart

Chapter 5 - Urban Woods

As a response to my words having an effect on you... well from your words it seems you’re going through the stage we call 'denial' but don't worry I won't tell your secret to anyone it's safe with me. ;)

It still hurts my heart, how you mean those three little words... I don't know if you are doing it intentionally but you are breaking my heart in pieces. :( I need you to make me feel better.

Last but not least....if you were honestly not avoiding my question...I would like the answer to my question.

Waiting for your response,

Love CC

I read through the message feeling mixed emotions, ranging from anger to confusion. I hit reply, instantly wanting to write the words that formed in my mind.

To Chris:

You should tremble from fear... you might not know but I can get my way in anything so you better watch your back. :)

You are honestly considering ME as your target!! Well you're not a good rapist or stalker, letting your next target know your intentions, lol, I guess you don't have the skills to be a criminal. :P

For your information, I am not going through any stupid stages and most importantly, I am NOT going through denial!! Seems like you're going through the stage I call delusion. :)

And yes you were right all along... Yes I do dream big to be somewhere and something in my life but instead I'm going the opposite way. :( Please do NOT gloat, you were right or I swear I would make your life HELL!!!

From,

I cannot believe, I just had written that he was right; I wasn't going to hear the end of this I know for sure. I set the laptop away from me and I lay down on my back as I looked up at the ceiling. He will surely ask me what I had dreamed about. Would I honestly tell him?

This processed through my mind as I tried to answer my question if I would tell him. This internal debate was starting to give me a headache. I got up and found my coat as I wrapped myself in my jumper, I called out to Sally, “I'm off for a walk, be back later,” and I dashed out the door.  I let the wind blow my hair in every direction as I tried not to think about anything, which I failed miserably as I couldn't get away from the debate of Chris. I sat down on the bench nearby as I put my head in my hands and tried to focus. I looked around and realised I came a bit far from my house and saw the sign ahead of me that read, 'Urban Woods'.

I looked around and all I could see were trees. I was deciding if I should head home or to explore the area a bit more. I always wanted to come here but never had a chance to; I am always busy to give myself some time. I decided to stay here and explore, so I followed that path that took me towards the secluded woods. After half an hour, I was still making my way through the tall, big trees that swayed uncontrollably due to the wind. Fear started to consume through my chilled bones due to the tall trees looming over my head with no daylight streaming through, which caused my fear to hype up. I don't know how long I had walked but my feet started to hurt, I was thinking about going back, but something deep inside of me pushed me to go ahead and finish this trail off. I was doubting my feelings as I pushed ahead but at last I had hope when I saw daylight streaming through the trees ahead of me. When I made it out of the secluded woods, looking at the view in front of me took my breath away.

 I was on top of a cliff which overlooked at the city below me. The blue sky before, was now turning dusky with a hint of red. The sun was setting and it gave out a golden aura around its sphere. I sat down at the edge of the cliff as I looked out at the view and felt happy that I came out and explored. If I didn't, I would have never found this place and this view was just breathtaking. I smiled to myself, when I suddenly remembered why I had come out for a walk, why I had chosen to explore at that moment my smile faltered. I shook my head trying not to get upset about my stupid miserable life. I don't know what it was, if it was the accomplishment of finding this place or if the walk did me some good; whatever the reason, I know I had a new hope, a new light igniting my body. I wasn't going to whine or feel sorry for myself, I am going to do something about it and I am going to turn my life around. I let the smile slip on my face as I stood up and looked down at the city below, I will conquer my conquest and I don't care what it will take. I am feeling optimistic and no one or anything will take this from me, not even me.
