Dry Tears
It was Ika. She was the girl with 'deadly eyes'. Since she was born, everyone she looked at she'd make them sick, or die. It depends on the time that her and person's eyes meet for. If they look at each other too long, they die, if just little, then they get kinda feeling of being sick. Her parents would never look at her, neither at her eyes, because they were too afraid to lose their lives, specially for nothing. Ika mostly would ignore everyone and at school teachers wouldn't even call her to answer or to do some tasks. She would mostly listen to music, read books, draw or write. And even when she could look at people when they weren't looking at her, she wouldn't. It would let her hope rise that way... And she didn't want to make it rise.
Ika was simple girl, only her hairstyle was a bit weird compared to other hairstyles. When she was 5 years old, she had beautiful long hair, they were very pretty: long, curly, brown-dark red hair, but she was so stressed, because she would get distracted by other people and then make damages, so one day she took knife and cut her hair that way, that it'd be quite short but not too short, and that front hair would be long enough to cover her eyes. So that even when she wants to look around, she couldn't see properly. She also would usually wear dresses, colorful ones. Her shoes were kinda old, but for her, it was enough.
At home her parents would ignore Ika and live normally. But truth was painful, every time her mum looked at Ika, she was disguised. Once Ika's mother said to her: "You bring only pain, and you dare to tell me that you need 'love'?! Every single time I look at you, I wish you were dead, or wasn't born at all". Ever since then girl didn't talk with her mother, she was silent, though her dad always tried to talk to her and make her feel better. But Ika was carrying those words with her every single day, it would always remind her to be 'no one'.
...----------------...
It was bright morning, when Ika woke up because of mother's scream. Her parents were arguing. So she just stood up from her bed, got prepared for school and went out through her room's window. She didn't eat that morning, though that was nothing unusual to her.
"My mother probably wants to make dad agree with leaving me, or something similar...", Ika said to herself, while walking to school.
That day at school when she went, some bullies noticed her. They would usually pick up on her. But today it was not too funny anymore.
"Today you look like my trash bag, just not overfilled yet", one of bullies said.
"I think we need to overfill garbage, what do you think boys?", other said, while smirking.
Then they took some food from their table and slowly started going toward Ika. She didn't want to make scene, last time when she did, her mother went insane, she almost killed her, with her own hands against Ika's neck. She was silent. When gang was close enough, they threw all the food on Ika's head, and made sure to get her clothes dirty, then her hair.
Girl was terrified, then she tried to run off, but boys caught her arm and didn't let go. Then one of them took marker, took off a bit of shirt and drew something on her back. Then she had enough, she took a cutting knife and attacked them, but it went so wrong, one of them caught it and injured Ika on her face.
Then she ran off of there as fast as possible.
She went to the only place that she liked. To the Rosés Garden. Near garden there was a lake, so Ika went near the lake. She was standing there in front of it and cried, a lot.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Little did she know that it would change everything.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
She felt someone's hand touch her back and push Ika straight to the lake that she was near.
Only thing she saw was dark sky as she fell into the lake. She could swim but this time she was so tired and weak, that she didn't even want to swim out of this deep lake. Though it wasn't pleasure to just drown but Ika was happy. First time she could've looked around without fear.
It was getting darker by every second, and then it went absolutely dark. Water was warm and pleasant. She loved it. It was probably last and first thing she started to love at that world, that warmth, it felt like a hug...
...****************...
Every single second of it felt like a warm hug...
