Chapter 2 ( Winter in the park)
Ronald's P.O.V.
Uuuuuhhhhggggg. The party was a huge success last night. Everyone had fun and it was the number one subject of the day at the division. Only I had a huge hangover and my head hurt. It didn't help that I got overloaded with work from William, not to mention Grell constantly bothering me. They honestly get all the easier jobs but I guess that makes sense with them being my superior and all.
As I walked to the main office, I caught a glimpse of Sarah at her desk. She noticed me and gave me a wink before going back to write on her papers. Last night with her was a memorable one if you know what I mean but it was time to let her go. I knew this, and there was no better time than now. I casually strolled over to her desk and leaned against the wall.
Ronald: Hey Sarah, can I talk to you for a sec ?
Sarah: Sure Ron, what is it?
Ronald put his hand behind his head and rubbed it slowly.
Ronald: Well, it's just, we had some good times and all but....I think we should see other people.
Sarah: WHAT??!! ( Sarah's eyes began to tear up) Was it something I did?
Ronald: No....I mean to be honest I never wanted anything serious so-
Sarah: You bastard! You sleep with me and now that you got what you wanted your going to throw me away like some used up piece of paper!!!
Sarah was getting a little dramatic and started to cry.
Sarah: Get away from me I hate you!!!
Sarah cried into her hands before getting up and running away. I didn't even notice Grell's presence behind me.
Grell: Getting rid of another one I see.
Ronald: I'm sure she'll be fine.
Grell: Ronald, your absolutely scandalous darling. Maybe I should be your next pick, obviously these woman aren't giving you what you need.( Grell says flirtatiously)
I laughed
Ronald: Your always so funny Grell.
William: Don't you two think you should stop wasting time and get back to work? Your 5 minutes behind schedule.
Grell and I turned around and were met with William's cold, green eyed stare. He didn't seem happy.
William peered at the desk where Sarah was currently absent.
William: Honestly Mr. Knox, you shouldn't bring your drama to your work place, it's unprofessional.
William, touched his glasses and pushed them up the bridge of his nose before walking off. This was our sign to go back to our assignments as Grell and I scuttled away to our own work before he got more upset.
Time skip to the night before. A couple hours earlier.....
Reader's P.O.V.
( Mother's Name): (Y/N) honey, you haven't touched your dinner. It's your favorite. Is something wrong?
(Y/N): N-no.....I'm just not hungry.
( Mother's Name): Well you have to eat something, no exceptions. You'll get sick. Promise me you'll eat something when your ready.
(Y/N): I will...Is it ok if I go out.
( Mother's Name): But it's dangerous to go out at this time of night you know that. Besides it's very cold out.
(Y/N): I'll only be gone for a minute, I'm not a baby.
(Mother's name) I suppose your right, I'm not saying your a baby but I worry for you and I guess I can't always tell you what to do -sigh- fine, you have 20 minutes.....just.....be careful.
(Y/N) got up from the table and walked over to the front door, she opened it before walking out and closing it behind her.
Sometimes I just needed some time alone. I really loved mothers company but haven't you ever felt empty inside even when someone is with you. I can't explain it but I've felt that way my whole life. Someone like me only has our own company to be with. Though London is my home, it only seems to drown me in depression. I feel like a lost, wandering soul who's forgotten what it's even searching for any more. And yet It's weird....all I needed in this world was mother but what I truly wanted...... was a friend...........
Meanwhile.....
I walked a few minutes before coming across the park I use to play at as a kid. My eyes scanned across the playground before it stopped on the swings. I remember when mother used to pushed me on it and I'd yell for her to make me go higher. She was wearing a smile that's still fresh in my mind today. I could die right now and just remembering her smile would make me leave this world with no regrets.
I sighed and when I did I could see my breath in the cold air. I approached the swing set and sat in the middle one. Slowly, I pushed myself as the wind got caught in my hair. I took in a big breath and sniffed the crisp autumn air. I looked up at the dull night sky as snowflakes fell on my cheeks. It was winter in London and I often liked trudging in the snow. No one else that I knew off,could bear the cold but I could. With everyone off the streets it was as if the entire city was empty and It all belonged to me. Though I knew my 20 minutes were almost up and I'd have to hurry home before mother caught a heart attack.
I was so focused on my thoughts that I hadn't noticed two people behind me. I looked back at them but they were already walking away. It was about time I left too, I thought as I slowly got up to leave. The swing moved in the wind as I slinked away. My footprints were the only sign of my presence in the park.
Meanwhile.....
When I came home, Mother was up waiting for me and had washed the dishes.
Mother: How was your walk ( She ask as she puts a cup into the cupboard)
(Y/N): Fine....
Mother: Alright then. You should go to bed and get warm, there's suppose to be a small blizzard coming our way.
(Y/N): The London Bridge might freeze over again.
( Mother): I hope not. We have to cross that bridge if we ever need to go into town.
I said goodnight to mother as I made my way upstairs. I was actually looking forward to dreaming to night. Mostly because you don't know what your subconscious will throw at you.....
