Chapter Text
//Prologue//
All it takes is a single moment. If you blink, you'll miss it. Of course sometimes a whole lifetime passes you when you blink, because of the choices and paths you've wondered down. I didn't really believe that, not at first. I believed that everything was right in front of you and always was. Sometimes you just aren't looking, or you don't look hard enough.
Though the boy with the doe eyes that shone bluer than the ocean captured my attention quicker than any chick throwing herself at me. Even faster than my Impala could go, he'd caught me at first like a deer in the headlights. Then all of a sudden he was the Earth keeping me stable, letting me orbit around him like the moon. He was perfect. Dark wavy locks that were messily brushed to the side. He'd stood there, white shirt with a plain black jumper on top, his grey jeans hugging his legs. At first he'd been shy, almost jumping out of his skin at the slightest bump or touch.
Though he was jumpy at first, he soon became cool and collected, no emotions on his face as he'd walk from class to class. His pink lips always pulled in a tight smile in effort to make his brother, Gabriel, believe he was happy. Gabriel would barely notice, he looked elsewhere or he simply, blinked.
As much as I tried, as many times as I blinked, he was stuck in my mind. His blinking blue eyes forever floating around in my mind. Even when I wasn't looking at him or even when I slept, he was there. Blue eyes watching calmly, a steady sad smile pulling itself up at the corner of his lips.
Though it soon disappeared. The moment I blinked.
