Paper Faces - 10. Silence

I offer no answer. He offers nothing at all.

I wonder why he stands there, facing a man he despises, but it is the same reason I stand here with only a thin metal railing between me and a nine story drop.

He's waiting.

Desperately, I search my past.

Rosalie's friends crowded around the pool. Bright green eyes, a shy smile. Impatience. Escape. Following footsteps. "Did you need something?"

A blushing, embarrassed retreat.

My chest constricts, pounding in my head struggling to drown out the memories. It meant nothing at the time. I had forgotten.

But now I see it.
