Chapter 11: Welcome to Eldrador.
"And here we are." Theo said, stopping before a very massive building that shone brighter than anything Bethany had ever seen.
She gazed dreamily at it, her lips slightly apart.
Taking in her appearance, Theo was reminded of his reasons for wanting to be with her in the first place. He had fallen in love with her mannerisms from the very first day it was his turn to watch over her.
He fell in love with the person she was beneath the strong and independent woman she had always tried to be.
Despite being just 18, she tried her best to be as mature as possible, laying her priorities before her and dealing with them, piece by piece.
But no matter how hard she tried to bury those soft sides of herself, When she’s around the right type of people (her parents) and in the right places (in her home); it always comes out, shining brighter than ever, consuming her.
She didn’t need to pretend to be happy, or responsible. They saw her, and she saw them as well.
Bethany stared at the shining skyscraper before her, her eyes glittering in awe as she took it in.
It was way prettier than she’d imagined.
The humongous glass building stood tall at the center of Eldrador city, towering over all the other buildings. It’s presence more than enough to cast it’s shade over all the other buildings several blocks away.
She was completely mesmerized by the way it shone, the way she could see people going about their business on each and every floor; some parties, some dinners, some meetings.
