For as long as Neil can remember, he has never experienced even a distant feeling of happiness and peace. His whole life consisted of violence, cruelty and flight.
At that time, there was no one near him, and he did not allow anyone to get close to him. "Don't trust anyone," his mom used to say when they were on the run.
He didn't trust anyone, didn't let anyone near him until you came into his life. You turned his whole life upside down.
Early this morning, the two of you decided to escape from the dorm, to escape from everyone and everything. You drove out of town and stopped near one of the fields sown with wheat.
It's an incredibly quiet morning. And not because it's still so early, but because Neil finally woke up not from a nightmare, he didn't dream about it at all.
A girl wearing his orange hoodie with the Palmetto University logo walks into the golden leaves of a cereal plant and runs away from the guy.
Neil runs after her with all his might, but not with an evil expression on his face, but with a smile, even with a slight laugh, feeling the wheat unpleasantly scratch his scarred skin. His long-lifeless blue eyes, like some kind of sea or sky, begin to light up with a small spark only thanks to you.
"— Give me back my hoodie, you little thief," a guy with rust"— colored hair on a metal background shouts into an empty field with a fake grunt. Neil is glad. . And let it still be cool outside, and his skin, covered with numerous scars of his crazy father, is covered with goosebumps from an unexpected gust of light breeze, and let him freeze, because he is wearing only a T-shirt and light sweatpants. He doesn't care because Neil is happy to be with you, with his safety, comfort, love and home.
