Falling

It all started when I decided to write a story about an amazing person who totally deserves this:
It was a bad day for Ana a very bad day, she had decided to make another trip and today she had lost her flight and it was her birthday she would be stuck here. Even though the sun was shining brightly it was pretty cold out here she was wearing a short white dress golden high heels and a leather jacket her brown hair fell to her waist and she looked very beautiful but she was really really sad yes she loved traveling she loved photography and adventures and all that but it was her birthday and she was all alone. And didn't even bother to open her phone there were so many calls and messages left unanswered but they all knew she was fine so..she started walking around the city this time as for irony she had chosen a country whose language she didn't knew so she couldn't even dream about expressing her feelings with someone but she knew that not very far away from here there was a big lake she had her handbag with her and ofc she kept her sketchbook always with herself perhaps looking at the beautiful view would kinda make her happy, every step of her was slow and thoughtful until she reached there, it was a big lake she had to admit it but there weren't a lot of people actually if you'd look around there was only one girl eating some....was that biryani? Yeah it was definitely biryani and if was making Ana feel hungry the girl looked so peaceful with her books listening to music with her headphones she was just the kind of person who clearly enjoyed life and why not Ana thought it was a beautiful day after all so she left her handbag and took only her camera with her than she reached the shore the girl and her had exchanged some quick glances but nothing more than that, she was trying to capture the peace the blue sky the birds in her photographs and she hadn't even noticed how her a heel had stuck in a fishing net until suddenly she felt a strong pull and she fell into the ice cold water first thing she did was trying to hold her breath and than she tried to free her heel from the fishing net but she couldn't the water was too cold she was so panicked she tried to swim to the surface but the fishing net was stuck into some stones.....she needed air, until a moment she stopped moving she stopped trying to save herself and she knew she was falling......
Yup quite dramatic if you ask me but sometimes drama is necessary 
Aster woke up early that morning after she finished all the chores she took her favorite book series throne of glass the food her mother had prepared for her...biryani her favorite and she kissed her mother in the cheek hugged her sister tightly and went to take her usual walk by the lake, she enjoyed it there it was usually very quiet and beautiful, she was wearing a long blue dress like the sky itself and enjoying her favorite song Bruises by Lewis, when she reached the lake she sat down and started eating also reading at the book it was so peaceful today just like her but than she saw someone arrive it was a girl, aster could tell she was a little bit sad but she continued her reading she had done so because she enjoyed books but than when she lifted her head to look at the girl she saw her falling into the lake....aster was a generous person that kind of person that always put others before herself and ofc this time she would put her life her life in danger to save her, she rushed towards the lake and dived in she swam towards the girl who she could see was clearly falling now , from a small pocket on her dress she took out a pocketknife and cut the net that waz wrapped around the girls heel she didn't know how to swim very well but she managed to pull herself and the girl at the surface than she laid her down on the shore and waited a little for her to open her eyes and when she did aster slapped her not very hard though and the girl's eyes widened from the shock and the terror but aster didn't feel bad a slap was better than drowning 
"Are you crazy, like seriously are you crazy you were nearly drowning girl" asterin said her voice was full of fear for what could have happened to this stranger 
"Yup many people say I'm crazy....thanks btw you saved my life" the girl said
Imma make the dramatic later that day again because it's late and I feel like sleeping though the slap things is definitely something that would never happen irl
Ana had eaten some biryani with aster she was so glad that she had found someone who spoke English here and she found Aster a very easy person to talk to she didn't knew why she trusted this girl but she told her everything, they talked about each other's lives for hours and she really felt like she had known Asterin forever she was so sweet so innocent and she had saved her life today...like literally everywhere new she went something had to happen but she was glad that from this she had met asterin today, their dresses were drawn now and Ana was thinking about the birthday cake in her hotel room.....it was her birthday and she was all alone, it was like aster read her thoughts she got up took Ana's hand and started walking with her
Asterin couldn't let her celebrate her birthday all alone nobody deserved that, she was walking home and today it had been a pretty good day except that her dress had gone wet but she had met Ana so....she was a little bit scared to let someone new in her life because she had had a lot of backstabbing friends but Ana was......somehow different they had so much things in common when they arrived at her house Ana hid behind her as aster's sister opened the door and asterin laughed Ana didn't look like the shy type after she kinda explained her sister what happened she told Ana to come inside.....
"Welcome to the family sister " Aster said with a bright smile on her face
Ana felt so happy she couldn't celebrate her birthday with her family today but here she was worry an unknown girl who was ready to accept her in her family she went inside and hugged her tight tears shining brightly in her eyes
"Thanks sis"
What I can say is that they had a lot of fun together that day Ana as always made a big mess in the kitchen and Aster cleaned it they cooked together they laughed they had fun.....would this friendship continue ofc it would once again Ana befriended someone who saved her life...........
There are friends there is family and the there are friends that become family
