How did it all start today? Very simple, it began with the sweet rays of sun coming through the window of her small apartment. How did she end up here? Were all her dreams just in vain? Who is she?
A small, tormented figure made it's way towards her. It was a girl, scared of the world but shining brighter than everything else in the room. Her soul was emanating light and hope.
Images from her past took control of Jane Doe. She wasn't in her small room from New York anymore. She was in a backyard, sometime mid-September. There was someone on the swing-set she remembered from her childhood. It was old, but beautiful and full of memories.
A girl, probably 17, was sitting on the swings, her head bowed. A boy, same age, was standing in front of her, looking angry.
"What do you mean this time you're leaving for good?" was all he managed to say through gritted teeth.
"I mean... I'm suffocating in this town. I can't keep on living my life the way others want me to. You know I love you, you're my best friend and this is killing me, but I just can't do it anymore..."
Silence filled the yard and Jane Doe's heart shuddered at the memory of that day. She had been so broken... But why did she have to break him too?
"So what's next?" asked the boy, tears threatening to start falling from his eyes.
"I don't know... I guess I'll leave after graduation."
"Where to? For God's sake, where will you be heading to? And without me?"
"I don't know...Probably New York. I just HAVE do to something! I can't rot in here like the rest of the town! I can't allow my dreams to remain just that: useless, foolish dreams!"
Silence.
Jane Doe was back in her apartment. Tears streaming down her cheeks, pale face, heavy breathing... she finally understands something: she has been lost in her daydream since being 18, and that stopped her from actually accomplishing her dreams. I mean, yeah, here she is, in the big city of New York...and? That's all. No real friends except for Haley James, no hope that this all may change someday... She just wishes Will was here. He would be able to make it all okay. He always did that. He always made her smile. But it was all her fault...
So, this is what she is going to do next: find Will. Jane Doe knows that it had been a while, almost 10 years, and that she was a total bitch for leaving him like that. But maybe, just maybe, the stars will align for her again. Maybe, just maybe, everything will be okay.
"What next?" she tells to herself, " I'm coming back to you, Will... Will you be able to forget all these years away and take me back in your life? Am I finally making the right choice?"...
