Those eyes

 Inside those dark midnight eyes, you can see stars. Little bright stars that shone through his eyes. But you can also see a dark figure, dark, but graceful like a swan. It is moving bigger and bigger. Inside those eyes, there is guilt, and regret, and a story that was forgotten, But now, it is the time that shall be told.


He didn’t really have a name. He could remember the moment that he found out his dad was dead. His father sacrificed himself in War, His dad was the only person in  his life he had left. Back then, he had a name. But after all the grief and tragedy he had been through, all happiness had fallen into a black hole, sucked out of his life, along with his name. His mental health ran down hill, Everyone called him, ‘Boy.” Boy lived a very hard life, working constantly in shops to earn money so he could feed himself. But one day, Boy fell in love. He hadn’t known it then, but the sight of the lovely girl, with light brown hair that streamed down her back like a waterfall, had touched his heart and softened it. Her name was Amy. They became fast friends, who met at a local restaurant. Amy was too kind and naive, that she didn’t know Boy’s love for her, she only saw friendship. Boy’s life had been turned, and he saw a different self in him. That is, until he met Addison. Addison was a boy who had a rich family, and was often boasting about how much money he had. Boy would sometimes see Addison walking in and out of shops, wasting his money. But that day, while Boy and Amy were having a deep conversation, Addison saw them. He walked towards them and pushed Boy away from Amy. “What do you think you are doing? Hanging out with her!” Amy looked confused, and said with her sweet and gentle voice, “don’t do that.” Her ocean eyes were staring at Addison. Adisson laughed hysterically. “Standing up for him? Well, I tell you what, I will stop doing that, if you go out with me.” Amy opened her mouth to say something, but before she said anything, Boy ran away. 


He hated hearing Addison's foul voice always causing trouble. So Boy had a plan. He took out his pocket knife, and followed Addison home, through the empty street. Just as he was rounding a corner, Boy clasped his hand onto Addison’s throat. Addison made out a terrible gagging sound, then, without a second thought, Boy slit Addison's throat. He watched Addison bleed to death. Then he ran. Away from the crime he had committed, away from everything he had done. His mind was blurry. Finally, he sat down. That was when he saw a beautiful figure walk towards him. “How would you do that?” Amy's voice said. Her voice quivered and tears rolled down her pale face. Her voice ran inside Boy’s ears. Suddenly, guilt and regret flooded him, and he wanted to scream.But he held it in. Amy turned away, and ran. Her light blue dress waved in the wind, as it marked the last time Boy would see her, He had lost the love of his life.
