It was one day that she would find one of the knights who would
battle on the field against other schools and record him from the
distance, it was Adrian. Adrian to her was handsome, tall, and had
eyes that changed in the sun from blue to green in its center growing
blue under the sun. Playing instruments during his half-time and perform
during his rest time. She even would begin to work at the local
Pizza shop, where she would answer calls and help prepare them with
the magic of the stove. She would save her money till she would find
the perfect ride and Adrian would travel in his red truck traveling
an hour to see her often. Things weren’t perfect and they would
often split and come back together, for her at the time he was like a
gift to the world. Lydia just enjoyed being in his graces and would
often once getting enough funds drive her smaller car to see him
despite the splits and the swapping of wanting and not wanting to be
with her. It was a reprieve from feeling so outlasted it was like a
glimmer of hope that love would last no matter the trials. It was a
reprieve from the darkness that would surround her world and it would
bring light into her life. It was a fresh breath that would be much
like believing in the things of the world and universe would one day
make sense. Lydia wanted to be who she wanted to be, despite not
knowing who she was really at that time. It would be on and of with
Adrian and during the slow times she kept herself busy working and
learning at Lilly high. Participated in anything she could just to
enjoy doing something with her time, she loved to sing and had people
there that she really liked, that was free of judgment and would
just talk about anything. She grew to understand many things and she
would smile once she learned how to focus on the paperwork and
actual writing, whereas in her final year, she would finish with only
being there for half a day only had two classes, that she really
needed and picked up extra hours and was able to get things of her
own. Learning to drive was a little bit of a struggle she learned to
be focused a little more on the work and flow of being freer
than ever before. She would feel proud of herself even. It was coming
close to lover’s day and Adrian came back around and even took her
out. She was so delighted and he even took he out to eat and gave her
a necklace to wear that had a ruby heart and crystals around it. It
was even a precious metal, and she had him put it on. She had just
turned into an adult earlier that year. She was like a growing flower
in the fields on a hot summer day. Adrian and Lydia would dance
and move together as young lovers do. It was quick and she would
race among the forests with Adrian and he would catch her as they
would run out of breath running through the valleys and hidden
paths. It would be cold and it would be snowing, where their bodies
often would feel the heat between the two. Something unexpected
happened and there was life between the two. Her feelings had bloomed
into a life of the two’s romance and desires. To her it was a
beautiful thing, they went to the life clinic together, She wasn’t
expecting him to show her another side of him. “Adrian why would
you say that we haven’t been together?” the life technician
would begin to question him why he would deny that. Why would he say
that they weren’t even really together? Lydia couldn’t believe
her ears and she wouldn’t say anything about it but took hold of the
necklace. “How could you say that...” were the words that would
crackle like a million emotions that would arise a tear in her eye,
which she would hold back. She was in his truck and the entire time
he spoke about how he didn't want it, how he couldn’t make girls, how she
need to get rid of it somehow. She didn’t have it in her to do
that she felt that the girl was just like her, she was proof that
love even existed. She created something of this world that would
breathe and grow and learn all about how her mother loved her. That
there was no greater proof that, there was a plan. She didn’t know
that she would have many trips along the way. She would keep moving
and her body and mind would keep her trapped for many years. He left
her alone and would never come back, she would wait for what seemed
an eternity and she called him up and would scream and howl at him.
“How could you do this to me, how? was it all a lie? It’s not
fair!” she would end up losing her job and worked whatever she
could till she was just part of the common lower rabble. She lived
with her parents and they helped take care of things. The weight of
everything had made her feel unworthy, even at the Local Light
churches, when they would speak verses that would make her feel
singled out. So she would date again and end up with one of her
relatives, or spouses suggesting someone to her. She would agree
happily if she didn't feel how she felt about how she was so young
with an extra life. Some would even say she would not amount to
anything and live off others her whole life. Which she worked hard to
not and her family liked having her there. Lydia would try to always
spend time with her family and do anything to bring them together.
After all, they were family. Lydia called her little light A’riza, it
was a special name she had given her after all she would grow up
telling her the meaning of her little light's name. “A’riza, your
first name means rising and your middle name is Lynn which means
waterfall. You can raise against the waters of a waterfall. Do you
understand? I love you.” she and Ariza were inseparable and her
family took care of A’riza while she worked to provide for herself
and Ariza. But she would feel like she would need a father for her
daughter and it would be something she would seek because she wanted
a full home of love like her mother and father. It was something she
wished for in her heart of hearts. She felt like she could love
anyone because everyone was the same and she knew her family would do
her justice.
