Drown Me In Deep

Nosy?I should my own business?I should pay attention?"Jem reviewed the constant criticism people gave her on her personality, as she stared out into the sea that was the deepest blue she had ever witnessed , she closed her eyes and listened to the waves crashing against each other creating a sound that was pure music to her ears, a wide grin stretched across her face as she picked up a small pebble and threw it into the crashing waves .She saw the waves carry it away smoothly until it was out of her sight "it could've gone anywhere , who knows?"Her curiosity got the best of her as she quickly got up, dusted the dust off her knees and sprinted to investigate where the the sea leads to.She ran as fast as her legs could carry her , running out of breath but still determined, she dashed even faster following the sea until she stubbornly tripped and fell in a garden of sunflowers.she let out a sigh closing her eyes and catching her breath." I wonder where the sea carries fallen objects , I wonder how mere objects flow to the rhythm and get carried away . Oh If only life was as simple as a pebble flowing through waves."She pondered.Unexpectedly,the once clear sky started to crowd with clouds filled with anger and distrust.Much to anyone's expectation, she would probably sprint all the way back home, but not Jem, this was her favourite time of the year , thunderstorms.Even better, being outside alone in one.She stood up, spread her arms out and let the harsh breeze embrace her as the thunder tickled her eardrums and the rain danced through her golden brown hair.She silently chuckled in amusement as she had never felt this euphoric before.She felt like she was flying and felt as if she could conquer the world.For once in her life she felt free.She felt like she had gotten a small taste of the life she always wanted

"JEM!JEM!"She heard the croaky,bitter voice behind her scream."oh no." She shook her head and looked up at the surprisingly clear sky."I've been looking all over for you!I knew you would be up to no good, you think it's so funny for you to escape and leave us all worried sick don't you?!An orphan doesn't deserve freedom, your place is the orphanage and that is where you shall stay until I say so! Understand?"Miss Amanda snarled and hissed louder than any snake which would always pierce Jems ears."I'm sorry , it won't happened again." She innocently apologized.Miss Amanda gripped her wrists and dragged her back to the orphanage where she threw her in her isolated room which was emptier then the emptiest dungeon and darker than the darkest of nights.

Jem opened her blinds letting in a pathetic amount of sunlight that would barely make anything visible.She leaned her head against the wall as a tear rolled down her face.She tucked the bangs that were covering her single crystal blue eye and tucked them behind her ear.She looked in her only broken hand mirror and once again sobbed about the two distinct eye colours , the other being a soul piercing red.She started having flashback of her parents that she used to have."Is she ok doctor?Why are her eyes like this?" Her mother questioned.

"Red.Ma'am I'm afraid she's too dangerous to keep. You must abandon her." " But why?"Her mother blurted in fear."Red is not appreciated in our society.It represents curiosity , wonder, mischief and you know we don't want that." She nodded her head in agreement and that was when Jems life collapsed in front of her .Her memories were starting to wither away as this was the only memory she had before getting abandoned, isolated and in a strange way, betrayed....

She gritted her teeth and kicked the wall as hard as she could while clenching her fists and dripping with sweat as she remembered the day her life ended.
