A Gingers Crazy Love

44: Winter

*Tolops pov*
I breathed. I'll just go get my coat I say. I get my coat and we start walking outside. She soon brings me to a hill. My favorite hobby: Hill climbing. I mumble. It's a lot like crawling in the trenches. Sal runs up. Follow me. She shouts. I run up. We both run down and land in grass. Now, after this is the place she smiles. She walks to a tree stump and round the corner. I follow. It's absolutely gorgeous. It has a gleaming river, flowers on the grass, trees with evergreens...
This is the land of Tir Na nOg which translates into land of eternal youth and beauty in my native tongue she smiles. She steps into the river. I do the same. There's large stepping stones in the bottom. She goes in behind some trees. I do the same. There's a tree house on a tree with ropes connecting all the trees together. You did not do this, did you? I breathe. She smiles and nods. She climbs up the ladder to the house. A minute later I hear a catchy song. She sings along to it. She jumps down...onto a piece of AstroTurf. I breathe again, this time with a bit of sadness. I have to tell her this. She climbs back in and I climb up. We sit inside. It's large enough to fit four people in it. Sal, I have something to tell you I gulp. She stares at me. In a few weeks... I've to go to the army and fight in against America I gabble. She takes it all in. She goes out again. Hi she shouts. I look out. How did hellbent find us here? I jump down.

*Hellbents pov*
I followed Tolop and Sal here. Melissa went with me too but she went to the other side of this place. Tolop comes up. What the fuck are you doing here? He asks aggressively, fist clenched. I followed you here I slur. Tolop wrinkles his face. You're drunk he says and slaps me. I punch him. I blink. I look around. I make out Melissa in a bomber jacket with her phone: say hello to Snapchat she laughs. Tolop punches me in the lip and then I black out...

I woke up at around 6am. In my room. I cheek my phone. Two missed calls and five messages. I sniff. I stink. I go to the shower. I hear snoring. I go in and Sal is on the floor, blankets wrapped around her. One. She must have given me her other one. I pick her up and tuck her in. I put the blanket over her. Sleep well I whisper. I look outside. Sunlight is coming over the buildings. I open the window and snow slides off. I breathe in. Happy New year I say to myself and I start making revolutions.
