6. Avery

I opened the French doors and walked out onto the balcony and into the cool night air. The breeze felt incredible and when it moved across the burns on my arm the stinging sensation made me close my eyes and suck in my breath. I looked down at the swirls and spirals I had just created and wanted to run my finger over the raised dots but didn't because my arm was still very sore. Branding the dots into my skin hurt but it kept my mind off of the fact that I had just been ditched. That I had once again been rejected by someone I was starting to really like.

I didn't understand why Trevor had canceled at the last minute. I had really been looking forward to tonight and I thought he had been too. I looked down at the street below and watched a couple walk by holding hands.

Ugh. Why is it always a couple? Don't they have anything better to do than walk down the street holding hands and showing off?

My eyes filled with tears and when I closed them the tears spilled over and ran down my cheeks. I listened to the breeze blowing through the leaves in the trees and I smelled fall in the air. It was such a beautiful scent, the dying and decaying leaves, and I started to feel better as I let the smells and feeling of the cool night air wash over me as the breeze pushed my hair back from my face.

I stood there with my eyes closed for a long time, imagining that I was floating through space with the fall leaves when I heard a noise that sounded like it came from the balcony of the house next door. I looked over but I couldn't see anything from where I stood. The street lights lit up most of the balcony but there were some shadowy corners that remained completely black. I didn't know if it was in my mind or not, but I could have sworn I'd seen something move in one of the corners. I stood there and watched the balcony for a while longer but I didn't see any other movement so I decided it must have been the wind, although there was a part of me that hoped the guy that lived over there would step out of the shadows and smile at me. I couldn't help thinking about him looking in my window when I first moved in and decided it was just a fluke, that he was probably looking at something else, not me.

I went back into my room and just before I turned around I looked through the glass doors and I could have sworn I saw something moving from a shadowy corner on the balcony of the house next door again.

That's really weird, I thought as I turned back into my dark room. I flopped down on my bed and stared at my phone for about five minutes
