The Orphan's Goddess

See My Past

Did my plan work? Christ! this is killing me. My heart is pounding really hard! I couldn't stand waiting for her like this! I swear I was praying then, she moved towards the seashore, towards me. Thank God! I did it! What a relief! She stood directly in front of me. I raised my head to face her and with that I smirked. " What can I do for you, goddess?” Oh yes! It's true! She's a beauty! She must be Venus if she was ever real. "Oh Shut up! Stop making fun of me will you?!" she mumbled pouting her lips like a baby before sitting right beside me. I could feel my heart pounding as I smell a faint fragrance of her perfume as she sat by my side. She is so adorable. Ever spec of her spell out AMAZING. "So Mr. Wise Man can you help me or not?" she asked curiously "Well.." I started "I just might. I'm ready if you are." She stared at me for a moment then to the gloomy sky as if it were trying to sympathize to what she was feeling right now. "Never mind.” She played with her fingers trying to dismiss the topic. “This is not your problem anyway. You wouldn't understand, but I do appreciate the brave act.Thanks for what you did back then." I laughed which made her look my way confused by how I reacted. “Are you mocking me?” she asked with a tint of irritation in her voice. I shook my head and said "No. Don’t get me wrong. I laughed at the thought that you judged me so easily. I mean, how can you tell that I wouldn’t be able to understand when you haven't even tried yet." Her eyes widened for what reason I did not know. Was it because of embarrassment or anger? It didn't matter she was just too stunning. She squinted her eyes and looked at me from head to toe. "Well, from the looks of it you seem like a happy man. I am not so sure if you will be able to understand how it feels like to belong to a broken family. You see, awhile ago my mom and dad decided that they are going to have a divorce and it hurts so much." A tear fell on her cheek. She's so vulnerable and it melted my heart seeing her unhappy. She immediately wiped away the tear and asked me. "So, what can you say now Mr. Wise Man?" I smiled and said "Do you want to go for a swim?" She opened her mouth in disbelief "did you forget that I was just there at the middle of the sea trying to get myself killed?" I cheerfully stood up to lighten up the mood "Of course not! But swimming is way different from committing suicide! Sometimes swimming helps you calm your heart and mind. Let's swim before it gets dark!" I assisted her to get up and as she did I slowly took off my shirt and turned my back from her. Now you will see my past, Miss....

-LUCY's POV-

I caught the air of my lungs. Are my eyes deceiving me again? I covered my mouth in disbelief. Oh my God! Scars. Too many of them. Who the hell are you? I could feel my whole body trembling. I couldn't control it. I have never felt so weak my entire life. He shouted at me "Common Miss! Come and join me! Don't miss the fun! It's almost dark!" With all the scars on his back, how could this man still put on a smile? I felt numb all over. If the separation of my parents broke my heart, this man made me feel more than that. Tears were filling up the sides of my eyes once again and without knowing it I was already crying. I'm such a cry baby! Then, I felt a brush on my cheeks and when I looked up, it was Mr. Wise Man. "Don't feel sorry." he whispered. "I don't want to see any lady crying. It reminds me of my mother. It reminds me of how she cried when I was younger. I don't want to cause you any pain. I just want to you see what you are missing." He slowly walked away, but then I shouted to catch his attention. I caught up with him touching his back "Wa-wait!" After realizing what I was touching I immediately removed it from where it was lying. "I-I.." He faced me again. "Be happy that your parents love you even though they have to part ways. Understand that they once have fallen in love, but it just came to the point that they have to separate before it is too late, before any more damage will occur, before they will hurt more rather than less. I wish you good day miss." he left. I turned to go back home. I couldn't seem to understand the words my heart convey. Will I ever be able to accept the fact of my parents divorce or will I be weak to handle the matter? The cold night was emphasized by the heavy rain outside. I was about to enter the house when I turned to see where Mr. Wise Man was. I couldn't help but admire him for he was strong enough to face his endeavors and just like that I ran back to him, to the man who literally saved my life "Mr. Wise Man!!" I shouted. Stunned he went back to meet me in the middle and asked with worried eyes "What are you doing, Miss? You might catch colds go back to your house." He truly was worried. It was all over his face. Without a word I embraced him "Help me, please." I sobbed right in his arms as he embraced me back and not just that...IT FELT LIKE HOME.
