I sat in the window just like every other day watching people live their lives while I was just an observer. I was tired of my trapped existence every day the same and some how more mundane than the last. I wake up eat what ever bland meal that is left on the table while my family continues on their lives without me. I had long since stopped asking to go outside the answers was always the same. So I slowly wander into the living room and watch the street as people walk by. I noticed last week that a new family moved into the house across the street from ours. There was a mother and father and what appeared to be a brother and sister. Today I watched as every one except for the boy who appeared to be around the same age as me left the house to continue about their lives. After a couple hours of me just watching the street he appeared in the window probably preparing to watch other people live life just like I was doing. Suddenly I was over come with sadness the thought that the boy across the street was surviving in the same lonely existence that I was brought tears to my eyes and seeing the boy across the street made me feel impossibly more lonely than I was just moments before. It some how became a routine to sit at the window and watch as our families left us behind. A week had passed this way and suddenly I could take no more I ran to the front door and tore it open. As I took my first step outside I could see the boy from across the street doing the same thing. I ran outside and into the front lawn I burrowed my feet into the cold wet grass and turned my face to the sun. I had never felt the suns warm rays on my face without the barrier of glass and I must say it felt amazing. I turned my head and saw the boy from across the street doing the same thing. I knew I had to talk to him so I slowly walked across the street the gravel cutting my tender feet. I walked up to him and held out my hand hi I'm Amber. He shook it and said I'm Scott. Do you want to go on walk with me I asked him i looked down at my feet and noticed I needed my shoes. I waited for his answere and when he said yes I told him I needed to go grab my shoes he chuckled and said he did to. I turned and ran into the house and desperately searched for some shoes to put on I ended up wearing some of my sister's old sandals. I rushed outside Scott was right outside the door he took my hand and we walked off to start our first adventure together
