I Never Saw A SunShine

Chapter One

What a perfect day to go out for a run. 6:00 AM in the morning right before the sun comes out. Laura rose up from her comfortable light bed. Open her curtains to enjoy the view from her window. A view of the ocean and the sound of waves bouncing up and down; giving her a glimpse of hope.She turns around towards her wardrobe, picks out an outfit that brings out the color of her beautiful green eyes. Some what reminded her of someone very dear to her heart. She looked at the clothes she chose lying on her bed. Pondering on its every detail. She puts them on, flips her hair in a pony tale and rushes down the stairs. Full of energy, not even a coffee sip entered her mouth. Laura grabs a skillet pan, spatter a little oil on it and goes towards the fridge to get some eggs. As she is looking for the eggs, the memories on her fridge is filling every white space. Pictures of a young handsome man dark hair and brown eyes. Next to him is a little girl smiling innocently looking up at her charming father. The pictures got a little blur as Laura got interrupted by her older sister Jenan who moved in with Laura a couple months back. The two sisters got along very well. Despite the unusual circumstances they have been through, those two were like two peas in a pod. They always had each others backs. Jenan is like the big sister who takes care of things in the house hold. Always making sure her little sis is out of trouble. Especially Laura who seems to have this over active personality that might not always agree with her. Always making new friends because her group of old friends decided to hangout with someone better. " Good morning Laura " Jenan patted her little sister's back gently. " Morning Jenan hope you're hungry! " " ohhh I'm starving; I skipped dinner last night cause I had an overnight shift at the hospital " Jenan sat on the dining chair exhausted, Laura noticed her tension and said " I hope that hospital is giving your money's worth because seven years in med school is a long time! " " a job is a job, as long as I get payed I have no problem with that. " . Jenan went to make coffee as she waited for her food to be prepared. It was a long night for both girls as the moment of silence struck the kitchen. Couldn't hear nothing but the sound of forks, plates and spoons bouncing into a rhythm. Laura served breakfast and rushed towards the hall way. " hold your horses Laura! Aren't you going to eat with me? " " No " Laura replied in a hurry , I have to go jogging before sunrise, you of all people know how important my morning jogs are." I understand, " " be safe sis ". Laura went across the hallway as she bent down to tie her shoe, two other shoes were against the wall in front of her. One shoe bigger than the other. She left the apartment, slammed the door behind and started worming up coming down the stairs. " Morning Laura " the man behind the counter greeted Laura. " morning to you to, a lovely day isn't  it! " Laura replies waves her friendly hand and pushes the glass door making it swinging back and forth as she is running towards the shore. So happy to go to the place she dreamed to live next to. Leaving foot prints as she is running by the sea. Hearing the sounds of the ocean nature. Hearing the sound of the water splashing as she set foot on every wave. Running but running where! . She was running not knowing where to go or what to do but running, still running. The sun comes out and finally the birds are chirping. The moment she has been always waiting for. She stopped running. Looks at the sun coming out from behind the sea. Like a story beginning to be told. Like a memory ready to be hold. This place is a special place to Laura. So special that she makes sure every morning, she passes by to see this spectacular view. It is not the view she wants to see. Her eyes began to sparkle as the sun slowly comes up. No one has ever seen anyone enjoy the view as much as Her. Going back to this place brings her life all over again. Reminding her of how special she was and still is.

She shut out the world around her, hearing nothing but the ocean sea. She dozed off to a world she used to be but no longer is. She couldn't help but remember! She couldn't stop her self from going back! . She wanted to go back. She took a peak .... Only a peak. knowing that if she stood longer, she might shatter in tears.
However, that particular memory did not exactly bring her pain as much as it brought her hope. In fact, at that moment her heart was filled with hope. So much hope that something triggered in her mind  ! Laura looked at her watch, realized it was time to go back and swiftly turns around towards home. Running fast
faster than before ..... She Run Run ..... And Runs..... !!!!!!!!!
