Awakening

Melanie pulls herself to the edge of the bed.. where she can straighten out the nerves in her neck and shoulders. Once she feels intact, she stands up and walks to the window. Once she has the outdoors in sight, she watches the waves crash on the beach.. She can almost hear the pounding surf as it crashes against the shore. It entices her to revisit memories from her childhood. Where she would run along the waters edge.. And hunt for shells.

Looking out at the window, as an adult, she finds herself longing for those bygone days of her childhood. Where the world was a simpler place. She lived a life of carefree innocence, that she had abandoned once she left childhood.

Behind her she hears Avery stirring in the bed. When she turns around he is awake, facing her with eyes slightly open. “What the.. where am I?” He asked, his eyes widening.

“You don’t remember what happened last night?” Mel responded.

“We hung out in your limo.. right?” Avery replied, still piecing together the events of last night.
