Hellbound With You (WN)

It was a pleasant morning when Abi woke up. She spent the remaining time with her family and had a happy breakfast with them. 

Her dad drove her back to the orphanage. On the drive there, the father and daughter talked about Abi ’s life in the city until they reached their destination. Her father didn ’t stop encouraging her, telling her to live her life happily before he left. 

Abi stood there, waving to her dad as she watched her father ’s car disappear from her eyes. 

She let out a sigh and smiled before she entered the building and went to work. 

The day was lively and joyful as always inside the orphanage. The kids and the people inside were all like her family as well and she always felt good working with them. 

She was glad that it was busy that day to keep her mind somewhat occupied because she couldn ’t stop thinking about Alex. She already lost some sleep last night because of him and now that she was at work, she couldn ’t believe that his face was still distracting her, until in the end, she found herself waiting for twilight to come.

The day was busy and yet she felt like it was dragging on. Indeed, it was true that time slowed down like a wounded turtle when waiting for something to come but flew fast like a bird when you weren ’t. 

Finally, twilight came. Abi stepped out of the building and looked at the mini children ’s park in front. Her eyes were drawn to the empty swing and she silently walked towards it. She sat on it and swung a little, just letting her body sway lightly. 

Abi was thinking about Alex again. She had tried to call Alex last night but for some reason, he was out of reach. Kai was also the same. She couldn ’t help but feel uneasy. The thoughts, ’what if he will not come back? ’, ’what if he will not appear before her anymore? ’ flooded her mind but she couldn ’t help it.
