^^Remember Me?

*Eve POV-

If you would have told me I would be eating dog food, drinking a beer that's been out of several days.

I would Laugh at you, just right in you face. Asked how much you would be paying me. Then for more of a challenge ask you to kindly get the funk out of my face.

But, here I am.

Sitting at my base doing just that. 

I'm on this old blanket, even your grandmother would even question why you would have or just throw away in secret because she's nice like that.

Even so...this is home.

A lonely home full of soft and bright ... of movements and silence breaths. Being good small confinement fit for one person, it really has my vote...but not really a vibe. Shaking my head and taking a sip of the flat and warm beer.

Trying not to get to upset.

forcing myself to smile, taking deep breathes and trying to see the bright side.

This is home.... you're ok.

At least for now it's only temporarily .

I looked at the old clock on the side table. I found it two days ago happy that it still worked. Even more happy that the table matched with it. Even if it was bright neon purple. I deeply love it. I still stared at it letting my mind drift.

I found myself staring at the time.

Seeing that it's 1am. Trying to turn back time, because now... isn't where I wanted to be.

I miss hearing my family from yelling at me to leave the house to them wanting me to get some friends....hell even, a boyfriend at my age. I silently laugh.

Shifting in my chair feeling it poke me. I frown.

I miss my little brother telling me that I can't beat him in any contest we came up with at the time. I even remember the time he said I was like a mother to him. Unlike our own who stopped after dad lefted.

The one thing I missed the most with all my heart was cooking home-cooked meals with my mother. Even if she wasn't the most loving woman or anything like a mother. She still had one thing going for her. She still was an amazing cook.

My eyes get blurry, putting my hand up to my face I feel my tears on my cheeks. No....."no" I wimpered  I can't get like that I have to woman up. Be strong.

I shake my head and drink the great of the beer. The end bits lefted. "I'm really going to die alone?, Aren't I" I whispered to myself. After years of my brother telling me that all the time. It really is going to happen. I felt more tears fall. "I guess even when he's not here. After being here without him. My small smart boy." Getting frustrated.

"HE'S STILL ALWAYS RIGHT." I yelled.

I slammed the empty beer can down and got up from the makeshift chair. it's falling apart. I still need to get one from somewhere. It hurts my back. Putting my head in my hands taking a deep breath trying to calm down. Getting myself back together. I turn around walking to my bed. That sits right next to the window. It's on the floor and has little padding but I get right into it. Shoes and all.

I'll wake up early. I won't have time to change. I'll have to Find some food again because dog food isn't it chef Also, brush my teeth. Damn it That reminds me I have to get toothpaste too. I signed. I look up to see the moon. Smiling softly seeing some stars shining.

"It's a new month now", I take the maker off the window stand making a tally "well I guess that makes it six months still haven't found a person." I still have little hope. Deep down

I look back to the moon. "goodnight" saying to myself. Feeling more tears falling down again. Laying down I close my eyes.

I was out.

-morning-

Rubbing my eye crust, I get up. Knowing that it's still dark, before I even looked outside. showing me once again. I had woken up before the sun has even risen. "Why have I been doing that" Questioning myself. I don't have to cook for anyone. Sighing as I go brush my teeth. With whats lefted. Before you judge me know that I can't have bad breath. Also, you stay healthy that way.

I look at myself in the mirror and notice how long my hair has gotten. Before ot was shoulder-length and dyed a skyblue. Now my hair is more to my mid-back and the dye is long gone fadded. Its really in that awkward phase of short but long. I picked up my hairbrush putting my hair in a ponytail. I start to head out.

I see that the sky has changed into the neon pink than the normal dark blue or light blie we are used to...I wonder what people would think. I walked outside to the Forest opening.

I walked more into the woods and  seeing the trees blow in the wind, hearing the calls of the birds. I let out a small smile Loving the calming atmosphere. I continue to go forward down the path of sand and dirt made in the time I used this trail.

"Should I go to the cliff, I really want to see the sunrise..Yeah that sounds nice too" say this out loud to myself. I roll my eyes and sigh.Am I really that lonely to talk to myself...

Yes booo... You are.

I get to the cliff getting to the Edge. Seeing the whole town. It was once full of people. Busy and moving seeing the doughnut shop use to work at. Knowing I've been through it all. I still knowing i have to go to the city. Somehow I haven't gone After all this time. I'm scared. There a small town of houses near it though...So I guess that's what I'm doing today. Even try to go to the city later. I'll look for food or even a chair. Getting out of my daydream.

I look up to the sky seeing the neon purple. Feeling lucky amd unlucky to be alive just to see the world like this alone.

~3 hours later~

Still not finding at matches my base.  I been in and out of some houses but feeling like I invaded peoples and family's privacy.

Even so I somehow got lost in the process try to finding one. "Way to go, dumbass..You really needed to get lost" as I walked in middle of the road, kicking the ground. Feeling sorry for myself. I looked around to see if there was a house that I could go into, seeing a faded yellow house.  I walk to it

I have a hard time waiting at the gate. Knowing I need to go inside but its someones home. it feels wrong. There were people that lived in them. family's big or samll. People with warm beds to sleep in I just can't go into it and ruin that But I have no choice. Opening the gate walking to the door. Looking down I see the stone walkway showing me the people really loved this house.  It was somehow still well kept, still shows its happy homey vibe maybe some happy and nice people lived here or a old couple that lived a long nice live. Smiling at my daydream.

I got on to the pouch. Standing at the door I peer through the curtains on the side. Finding blankets and a small chair by the door looking more finding another blanket pile. I stood back up. Wondering if I would go in or not. I shrug and start to open the door. Seeing if i habe to break in or not. But being slightly surprised that it was opened. I walked into the livingroom. Looking around to finding the the walls a covered in paintings and drawings of people and plants.

"Wow. They're amazing" I said as I walked to them, "who did these..." I looked up at one to see the painted was of eight people. Some older and younger than eachother. as I looked closely I found one familiar face.  But looking closely finding only two look familiar. It was me and my baby brother. "What....?" I softly said as I bring me hand to the painting, it was dry but looked freshly painted. Maybe a week or more. Even so it still had me in it.

It had the hair I had before all of this happened, the bright vibrant blue that went to my shoulders Even down to the to my button nose I gotten from my mother. I couldn't help but start to cry. I saw my brother.... My baby brother's face in the painting. It had everything to his bunny smile to the small dot on the bottom of his chin. I looked at the painting of the old me ans him. My sweet baby. I couldn't stop that start of a sob. I miss my little baby boy so much, even if i was only 5 years older than him. I toke care of him.

I looked outside for a second to see ot was rainning. When did that start?... then I heard it..

The sound thunder smacked in the distance.

And the door opening..

OK..WHAT?.
