Fiction #2

Now for me, this was a turning point.

Something had led me to realize that, in that moment, I could trust her.

All I had to do was declare my loyalty, and I just knew she would be there forever.

It's like when you're terrified to do something, like say, jump off a high ledge into the ocean. At first you're hesitant because you're thinking of all the possible ways the situation could turn out badly. But it's once you finally stop thinking when you're able to take the leap and live for all of those 2 seconds you're free falling.

That feeling of satisfaction and trust you have in yourself, because of that relief that you're still alive and breathing - that's the feeling I had when I decided I could trust her.

Except, I looked at her with admiration and infatuation and she looked at me with compassion and pity.

To her, I was just a poor soul in need of her support.

But to me, she was a fallen star sent to me to help me find my way back to the person I once was.
