Helios

Chapter I

The beginning .

"The feeling of suffocation , oh dear, such a good one. It makes you, a tortured soul feel much more alive. Holding a hand over your chest , grasping what you are wearing, wanting to rip everything open. The clothes, you crave for the feeling of freedom. The skin, it stops everything from happening, the real deal, express yourself." Said a soft femine voice. It was dark , the sun just set , she was accompanied on a bench by a man. The man was looking down on the ground with a thoughtful expression , he was tasting her words in his own way. To him , she was like the sun , an etheral creature , though , words like this should not come out of her mouth. She was nothing like this. The real reason they were having a conversation of this deep nature , was a "simple break up" she said. But to him it did not sound so simple. Her brown eyes met his , she let out a lifeless sigh as she stopped talking, she then took her cigarette box out of her pocket and lit herself one , as she inhaled she pointed the box to the young man that was sitting next to her. " Want?" She asked while exhaling the smoke between her soft lips. The man looked at the package, then back at her , even though he was not a hardcore smoker, he thought " why the fuck not " . She was not alone anymore, at least now. His first smoke inhaled made him cough like he choked on it. She giggled as she pinched his cheek , " Aren't you sweet, Aiden? ". The young man frowned and had this feeling like he was treated like a child , he then glared at the girl , " Stop it, Denise." mumbling at her .

They were close to eachother , Aiden always supported her and gave her advices. They met on an online forum , just accidentally. Then , they started talking to eachother and actually found out they lived in the same city, making it easier for eachother to be next to one another. He craved for her, but knowing she had a long term relationship he would not have had done anything. She and her so-called loved one always had serious fights, where he was breaking up with her and giving her harsh words like everything was her fault. In his eyes , it was not her fault, her only mistake was accepting everything that was happening to her. In Aiden's eyes she was the sun, the feeling she gave to him each time they talked it was right like the feeling of warmth and safety the sun's gentle touch gave him each morning. Her words were a song to him, she seemed to be his everything. He too, was going through with a heart break of his own , but it was nothing like Denise's problems, just the usual stuff, boy likes girl, girl likes boy, they try a relationship , stuff gets serious, boy is afraid,boy runs away. Denise always tried to give him the best advices about this kind of situation. But, then, they met with eachother in real life, and that was enough for him to get over the other girl. " I am sorry... i tend to annoy people with my problems. What about you? How are you feeling lately? Any good catch?" Denise asked with a playful grin on her face. Aiden sighed and looked down , " You know i am not looking for anyone, Denise. And i am 20 years old already, enough with these stupid games. " he seemed irritated. But for him the most irritating part was that he could not tell her the truth. He was a pretty straightforward kind of person. He could not stand someone hiding something from him or even lying to him. And doing such a thing, for him , it was torture, if only she knew. A warm but soft smile was drawn on Denise's face , " Alright, alright. Mister Maturity " she teased him. " Say.. Denise.... " his voice sounded serious, his eyes seemed like all the life essence left his body. Her eyes expressed only interest in what he was going to say , one of her brown eye seemed like it had heterochromia, just like the artist who "created" her spilled some golden paint just on one eye. That hazel color spot was only influenced by her mood. When she was happy the whole eye would get the same color as the spot she had. When angry, the spot would get as dark as her brown pigment. " What do you intend to do?" He asked thinking about her problem, she glanced at the ground, then sighed, " I do not know." She answered as she threw her cigarette on the ground, then she stepped on it. " I guess i will just get over it. Hoping he would realise that he might lose me. " she stood up and shrugged her shoulders , " That is all i can do. " , " Do you love him?" . She hesitated to answer right away , " Yeah. He is my first, and last love. ", " You know ... If he loved you he wouldn't have done what he did..." , she smiled " Maybe it is his way to ask for attention. You know, from what he told me , his parents did not treat him well . Not like i was raised . With love... Maybe that is why he is lacking it. " . Everything she said was just a simple excuse to Aiden, he glanced at her and sighed , "Well, I wish what you are doing is something worth it. " he looked up at her and let out a small sigh, she looked at him and smiled, "Well, I should probably go. " she said as she offered him a hand for him to get up , he accepted her help and got up as well . He looked around and then wiped his pants, " Aren't you getting bored of meeting in stupid places like this? Parks? " he asked her as his attention was only focused on her , she laughed , " No, never."

The park was finally at peace as they left .
