A Chapter by Melancholydreams

" Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here. Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right ." As

Boston

V-Here comes the sun

I locked my ankle against the wooden bars as I climbed over the balcony to the roof. The initial fear of climbing the roof was always wiped clean from my mind as soon as I saw the sunrise. It takes your breath away. It should have just been impossible to blend the pastel shades of blue and yellow as they darkened to an obscene shade of a passionate pink and orange, tinging the sky in its brightness as the sun rose. A blinding sphere of orange peeked over my neighbours shingles, I blinked away the spots, squinting at the oddpatterns eating away at my vision. It was always damp, the chill night air cast its tears on every available surface-yellowed lawns, darkening wood, brick walls, concrete. In that one moment, I wish I could have frozen time, years ago when Tom was alive with a full head of hair, would wake me up in the middle of the night as we scaled the rooftop, waiting for the sun to make its appearance. he showed me beauty. Timeless beauty. He showed me more when I turned to him, mouth hung open at the image of him, bathed in orange light. His slightly curly hair shone, his face glowed radiantly, his eyes shimmered with warmth that no sun could ever give me. I had never been in love before, but I fell for Tom in that moment. I had only been eleven, unsure of my shallow crush until it had bloomed over the years, giving birth to the flower it was today, flourishing even though the source had perished.

But now I was alone.

I stared at the blinding ball of fire before getting an idea. I tapped a few keys on my cellphone, still melancholy as the clouds began to part, shedding more light onto the world. The cheapring tone had barely started a si stared at my screen in disbelief.

'Good Morning.' the text from Ryan read.
