Almost done I think (not really)
She wakes up her window wide open unlike how she left it the night
before, she closes the window and questions if she just forgot to or if
someone was in her room last night. She puts on her converse and
grabs her now fully charged headphones she walkes into the kitchen
and sees her moms silhouette in the sunlight shining through the
window. She squints her eyes to see and once they adjust she says
“good morning mom. Where’s dad?” Her mom turned ar slightly
annoyed “probably out with his ‘girlfriend’” her mom says because
they were fighting the night befor over dad cheating he always says
“she is just a distant cousin” when my mom first seen her name in
my dads phone as her mom continued yelling at Sonya as if she was
dad she slips out the door
She continues to walk down to the tree, she notices Delilah waiting
there, same spot from before. Delilah smiled from ear to ear and
waved at Sonya “hi! Good morning!” She cheerfully called out “wow
you really are a morning person, how do you have so match
energy?” Sonya said in a sleepy voice
Delilah giggled, her dark eyes glinting with a mesmerizing daze. “I
just love the mornings! It’s when the forest feels the most alive, like
everything is waking up with the sun,” she said,. She twirled in her
dress, the fabric twirling around her like mist, and for a moment,
Sonya felt an odd chill despite the warmth of the sun, as if somthing
was watching them. “How about you? Don’t you enjoy the fresh air
and the sound of the birds?” Delilah questioned
Sonya shrugged, still a bit sleepy. “I guess, but I’m more of a night
person. The quiet at night helps me think.” Delilah’s voice dropping
to a whisper as if sharing a secret. “The night has its magic too. You
know, some things reveal themselves only in the shadows.” The
words hung in the air, sending a shiver down Sonya's spine. "It’s
like... a new beginning, or maybe an ending. A chance to embrace
what’s hidden.”
As she pulls herself up onto the platform beside Delilah, the warmth
of the rising sun brushed against her skin, but the strange feeling
something was watching did not fade, as though secrets were
lurking just beneath the surface.as she reached the top she noticed
several more carvings in the side of the tree, most of animal
skeletons but one at the top, it was a portrait , Sonya’s face, it was
beautiful, it looked just like her she studied Delilah’s art for a few
moments forgetting about the conversation.
Delilah leaned closer, a playful glint in her dark eyes. “Night can be
peaceful, but mornings have their own charm, don’t you think? It
feels like the forest is waking up, and everything is fresh and new,”
she said with a bright smile. Sonya considered her words, the usual
weight of her reality momentarily lifted. “I guess you’re right,” she
replied, feeling the warmth of the sun beginning to chase away the
morning chill. “But there’s something about the quiet at night that
helps me think and unwind.”
Delilah nodded enthusiastically. “Definitely! It’s nice to have those
calm moments. How about we make plans for both mornings and
evenings? We could have adventures at dawn and chill under the
stars at dusk!” The idea filled Sonya with a sense of excitement,
and she found herself smiling back at Delilah. For the first time in a
while, she felt a flicker of happiness in the midst of her chaotic life,
and the thought of having a friend to share these moments with felt
like a breath of fresh air.
Somya was excited with the idea of getting to spend more time
with Delilah, but with school rapidly approaching it quickly became
obvious that Sonya would have to balance school, home life and
Delilah, although it would be nice to spend more time away from
home.
The next morning she for ready like usual but she groaned when
she realized today was the first day back from their fall break, she
rushed down the stairs and ate her breakfast her mom had baked
for her
