Amber was in the middle of nowhere. She drove her car down miles away with no clue of where her final destination was. She stopped amidst nothing but a desolated tract. With moist eyes she pondered over the hardships that life was throwing upon her. Strength and patience is what she had in store for really long but now even they were giving up.
Blurred lines, undefined path and an energy level that bid farewell, she was still in the pursuit of positivity but alas, no luck. A serene silence enveloped her. She didn’t want to speak to anyone and she didn’t want to stir the silent nothingness. A series of “whys” rang in her head but sometimes a question brings even more complex answers i.e if they bring answers at all. There was a brutal turbulence in her head which would erupt like a volcano any day and take her life away. Emotions like love, understanding, and bonding seemed like mockery in her life.
Who does she trust? The ones she did now felt like strangers and hell yeah the feeling wasn’t appealing, not even one bit.
It was impossible to make out what she was thinking, the person so familiar yet a tiny fragment of a distant memory. She closed her eyes and after a moment too long Amber remembered a different version of this face, the one that used to smile, the one which had gleaming eyes, running endlessly after her dreams. She just stared at the rear view mirror with all of that missing, stared with those empty eyes. Amber was scared to ask herself the question of what had really happened to that person. With a heavy heart, moist eyes, burying her emotions in the deserted land, she drove back to the city and let the girl in the mirror be.
