Chapter 3: Chapter 3
She was walking next to a man,dressed in black and he was smiling. And even though she did too, John could sense that she was feeling uncomfortable. Something about the way she walked next to him, and the face she was making made him want to interfere.
So instead of continuing his walk towards home, which seemed farther than ever now,he turned back to see how things stood between them. They were arguing. He decided to step in. "Hey,I' ve been looking everywhere for you" the girl looked at him full of wonder and he secretly made a gesture to show that he wanted to rescue her. He didn't know then if she understood but she smiled and excused herself. He could tell that her companion wasn't feeling all too well but seeing John he didn't make any move and bid them goodnight.
"Are you ok?" john asked the woman.
"yes, thanks for that" she said.
"can you walk on your own?"
"yes i am fine" she said and walked away.

"My name is John by the way" he said to himself as he kept walking. "And this is my street. And this house is mine.And everything else belongs to me..." His voice trailed off as he gazed upon the beautiful garden and realized once again that nothing belonged to anyone except those flowers and that was what made them so beautiful.
