Chapter 1
There they were the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen staring right back at her with an expression of longing, the feeling of warmth overcame her as their eyes locked, to Lyra it was like the world stood still and all that mattered were the beauty of the eyes in front of her. “I love you Lyra” these words sent shivers down her spin and her heart raced uncontrollably like it would leave her chest, her checks flushed and she could not even alter a single word. Slowly he leaned closer to Lyra and his lips slowly touching hers, a feeling of calmness peace and safety she felt in his arms she wanted to stay there forever, at that moment she didn’t care about any other thing apart from this feeling that she wanted to last forever. But this feeling didn’t take too long to fade away, as his lips departed from hers and she could fell the cold and emptiness he left behind she opened her eyes and lifted her head up to meet his beautiful eyes, but this time they looked troubled, Lyra was curious as to what would cause him to look so distort after kissing her, but before she could rap her head around it, she heard it, the words that sent knives through her heart “Lets break up”. Still in shock she took a few steps closer to him but he withdrew from her and continued to speak “Lyra I don’t think we can see each other anymore I’m really sorry” Lyra was frozen at the spot she stood and he turned around and left this was the last days of Lyras high school and a day she knew would be imprinted in her life forever.
Lyra Williams an “almost” average girl born to the house of MR. and Mrs. Williams, well late if we are to be accurate but let’s not get into that now. Well you wouldn’t call her breathtaking but she was beautiful in her own way for only very limited number of people can pull of being chubby and attractive at the same time and this was something Lyra could do with ease. Well, being born into a well to do family is a very good thing I mean who doesn’t like to get spoilt with money once in a while but now being born in to an extravagant family like the William’s was something entirely different. She Is the only child of her parent, and she is currently staying with her Aunt who loves and adores her like she where her own child, she had a boyfriend who “Loved”, everything was perfect until, yesterday, Lyra and her boyfriend where at their usual spot and then he kissed her and broke up with her this was the worst most complicated thing to her and she couldn’t understand why. But he left her standing there and went back into the hostel, Lyra immediately rushed after him but since there was only a limit to where she could reach and girls where definitely not allowed in the boys hostel, she waited until a friend of hers came out of the hostel to get something then she called him “Hey…… Thomas” she said almost screaming waving to get his attention, and it worked he saw her and came to where she was, there was quite a distance between where the both where so it took a little while to get to where she was. In this time all Lyra could think of was “why? Why did he break up with me? He said forever, He promised, He said he loved me, what changed? Did I do something wrong?” as Lyra was lost in thought, Thomas called out to her a couple of times before she actually realized he had been standing there. “Please call him for me I beg you I won’t ask for anything from you ever again just do this one…..” she said not letting out a single breath from her lungs but she was cut short by Thomas “Lyra I think it would be for the best if you just go back cause I don’t think he is going to come out no matter how many times you send for him” Thomas said with a sad and pitiful tune, Lyra knew he only meant well but she couldn’t help but feel bitter towards him for refusing to help her so she began in a very harsh tune “I don’t remember ever asking your opinion, I just said you should call him so please don’t try to give advice I didn’t ask for” Lyra said trying her best to hold back her tears. Thomas left quietly and went back to call him out, but just as Thomas had said He did not come out. All she could do as she stood there waiting for someone she knew would never come was hate herself for believing he ever cared for her, hate herself for caring this much and most of all hate herself for being so venerable. She went back to her hostel and cried herself to sleep that night promising herself that this would be the last time she would cry because someone else hurt her she swore to herself that night that she won’t let anyone so close to her that they would have a chance to hurt her again, and though it seemed impossible cause she was a “people person”, Lyra made do to her words that night and withdrew totally from whoever was not her immediate family (Her Aunty and her kids), this came as a shock to most people who knew her before she withdrew, but in no time every one was busy with their own lives to worry about another person’s.
