There was nothing like Central Park in fall, it was her favourite time of the year to spend in New York. She was resting her chin on her hands watching the park from Bow Bridge with her Starbuck coffee and her Studded Heart Sunglasses. New York was good but it was too crowded for her taste and it lacked green except for Central Park. The leaves were fading brown and red and the lake was beautiful. She had to spend her time in that city so she better enjoyed it as much as she could. Washingtong lacked green too, the place she was currently living it because her parents decided to ditch England when she was a baby.

When she decided she wasn't going to move from place to place all the time she didn't know she had to go New York to visit them and her family there. She liked it though, her parents gave he all the free time and money and presents and that was always something to look for, and the city was beautiful and she had found places like that one to spend her time. The reason she was there was because Central Park was the best place to have picnic and read and just relax from the noises of the city. Near Bow Bridge there was a peninsula with amazing views. Walking toward the point she saw couples, families...

If Eileen wasn't her she would have been sad watching the families and wondering why she never had one like that, going to the park and doing things together and just enjoy her parents or why she didn't have a serious relationship with someone. She didn't care about the families, she was so used to the way her family worked she never felt bad about it, she stopped caring. And about boys, she never really liked boys the way of having a serious relationship, not yet anyway. Fishing through her pocket she found her cigarettes but when she was about to lit one she stopped herself, not there. She didn't want to smoke there where everything was so peaceful and beautiful, smoking will ruin it, it was something she did when she was at parties, drunk out of her mind or overly high.

She sat on the blanket she had brought with her, sipped from her coffee, bit her sandwich and watched people come and go with a book on her hand. No, she wasn't big on academics, she wasn't big on reading or something like that, what she was big in was drinking, smoking, partying and having sex with guys but she had thought that was the best way to spend her relaxing afternoon. She put her headphone on to listen to music and lay in the blanket, the sky was clear blue, some white puffy clouds on it making strange forms, as a child she used to look for dogs, cats or whatever she could imagine on them. Then a shadow blocked her sun and she looked down to see a girl standing in front of her.

[NAOMI MAE HILL]

In the park, November leaves that still hung wearily upon brown boughs; twisted and turned with a bitter breeze. The girl from the country immersed herself in the nature that surrounded her. Naomi sure did enjoy the city life, but she quietly ached for the calm colored mountains of her home, the farm lands and pastures she had been so foolishly desperate to leave; and it was during this damp and drizzly November in her soul that drove her to seek the grass and trees only a park could give in this hellish concrete jungle.

As she walked, all bundled up in ragtag, wool hand-me down jacket; old worn out farm boots, cleverly disguised by her jeans, a scarf, and a hat she crocheted herself, she looked around, surprisingly enough there were quite a few people walking about, some of them with families or quiet pairs, but most alone; everybody is always alone in this cold unyielding city, unless you are so lucky to pair yourself with someone and join at the heart. Naomi's mind continued to wonder and her eyes continued to search aimlessly, as all the lonely people hurried on to where they thought they belonged.

Naomi's greenish eyes caught the image of a girl sitting, alone, with a book in one hand and a coffee in the other. Naomi started to continue on past her, but on a 'spur of the moment' impulse, she doubled back, approaching the relaxed girl. New York could be a lonely place, but why let it be so?

"Hi," she said, trying to sound confident, "I noticed you were sittin' here all alone, and.. well I figured that I might as well come talk, you know? Uh -- my name's Naomi... How are you?" Though she tried to keep her composure and confidence, she was still kinda awkward about it, unsure how the other's reaction would be. Would she ignore her or laugh and scoff, or make fun of the way she talked, or bitch at her for completely disturbing her peace, or smile and talk back? Naomi would have to wait with baited breath.

The girl was looking at her with a smile on her face trying to look confident and sure, she started to speak to her. Eileen barely talked, just when it was necessary. People though she was a freak, strange and they almost never talked to her. The fact she had few friends and spend her time drunk, high and on parties barely helped her but she never cared, there in New York she was a new girl, with new people around and they tried to know her better. This was one of those people, and she didn't know what to do. She smiled back thinking carefully of what to say or even speak at all. I'm Eileen. She patted the site beside her so the girl will sit. I'm fine. You?

It was strange, being talking to someone, she was so used to being quite never opening her mouth and never saying something. Eileen looked around, when she needed a break from the noise, the city, the people all around her, she went to Central Park. In the city everyone minded their own business, everyone was alone and she felt comfortable there because no one minded if she was alone or high or drunk because when she partied at night there was people doing exactly the same as her. She had been on a wild party last night and you will think she had a big hangover, well, she didn't. She was so used to the alcohol she never had hangovers anymore, and if she had them she didn't feel as bad. Beautiful, I love Central Park during fall.

She felt the need of talking to the girl or she will think she was being rude, not that she cared but she tried to be as gentle as possible when someone who didn't know her, then they get to know her and they will get used to her. This girl looked chatty and as if she were looking for something. Why not letting her being her friend? why not having someone from time to time to talk to? to be normal? It was a good time to start and she seemed to be the right one, she was sure Naomi, as she had introduced herself, was quite like her, just looking at her she knew she wasn't one of those stylish girls always worried about their looks who lived in New York.

"I'm Eileen... I'm fine. You?"

Eileen signaled for Naomi to take a seat which she did rather clumsily, which was a common trait of hers. After she sat down, tucking her legs off to the side, so her boots wouldn't be on the blanket, she looked with bright green eyes at Eileen, a smile on her face. " Eileen, that's a real pretty name." She mused sincerely, "and I'm good, thanks."

A slight paused came as both girls started to stare off into the bright sunny sky. " Beautiful, I love Central Park during fall." Naomi nodded fervently. " Mhmm, me too, it's one of the most beautiful things 'bout New York... Though it really doesn't compare to home."

Talking to the girl, Naomi couldn't help but acknowledge the now apparent accent in her voice. When she came to the city she hadn't expected to be called out on her southern ways, and no matter how much she wanted to just shake all those terrible words and names and walk away without a scratch, but she was soft on the outside and the words sunk deep into her heart and stung bitter.

Eileen had never been the kind of girl you will find talking to someone at random at any given moment, she was very closed person and she didn't really like to talk with people surrounding her so for her that was a new thing to try on. Maybe if she hadn't see the girl so lost she wouldn't have say hi and much less invite her to spend the afternoon with her but there she was. When she told her New York wasn't compared at home she knew the girl was an outsider, just like her, and she found another reason to talk to her. Home... This is not my home either, I live in Washington. She looked at the girl with a friendly smile trying to make a talk, now that she was sitting there at least they could share some conversation. Where do you live?

She offered her some of the food she had brought with her to spend the day watching people and reading. The air was cold, meaning winter was slowly coming. That time of year always brought good parties to town and she was always busy partying around, getting drunk and high. Sometimes, when she was alone like that she thought seriously about what she was doing and why and the only conclusion she came up with was she did what she did to forget, she will do everything to forget she was alone. Not that she was the depressing girl kind, in fact she was happy most of the time but she hated those moments were all the weight of being alone all the time fell on her shoulders. New York is as noisy as Washington, there is really not much difference between the two of them.

She felt comfortable at any place as long as they had parties and boys to sleep with. The rest was just a plus or a minus and didn't matter enough to give it a second thought. That she was going to spend christmas with her family was a minus, she knew when they always plan something they always canceled it at the last minute and that was the reason she had at least a dozen plans for those nights when people like her, people who didn't have someone to spend such an event as christmas, got together and did what they do the best, drink, dance, get crazy and forget for that night that they had to struggle alone their paths. It's the place you come from very different from this? She couldn't imagine living on a place as quite as village or something like that, she would end missing the activity and the buzz and people running from place to place always late.

"Home... This is not my home either, I live in Washington... Where do you live?"

The girl asked smiling and offering up some food that she had brought with her, which Naomi politely took. "Like Washin'ton DC?" she said curious, which made the most sense to her as an answer, but she wouldn't be terribly surprised if Eileen said it was somewhere in the state of Washington, there were plenty of big cities there. "I live in West Virginia, down towards the south of it."

"New York is as noisy as Washington, there is really not much difference between the two of them." Naomi took a bite out of the given food, chewing slowly, listening intently. If she was talking about DC, then it fit the description of it well, she'd only been there once, and that was on a school trip in sixth grade, but she remembered the hustle and bustle of it quite well.

"It's the place you come from very different from this?" Naomi nodded her head fervently, swallowing her food. "Ohhhh yeah, like the polar oppasite. I didn't grow up on a farm, but I was always surrounded by hay bales, black angus, and mountains... I think we had three cities in my county, but none of them were much bigger than this park and much more like towns, and if I wanted a real mall, I'd have to drive like 45 minutes just to get ta' one." Naomi paused for a second, chuckling a little. "and my high school, is right next to a trailer park."

"Anythin' special 'bout Washin'ton?"

Eileen smiled when she asked her if she was living in Washington DC and then as surprised to hear she lived in West Virginia. New York and West Virginia were so different; she couldn’t believe how she was managing to not get crazy there. Of course if you had been a city girl and couldn’t handle country life then she will understand but Naomi was saying she missed home so she understood that she didn’t like it here very much. Washington DC and New York weren’t so different so didn’t feel as uncomfortable as she expected to feel there. Yes, I live there, in DC, I love it there though it’s not much different from here?
She laughed and watched the trees and such, she should miss all the green of her home though central park was like being in the field just with a little more noise and buildings on the background. She couldn’t imagine living 45 minutes from the nearest city, she would get crazy. She loved nature and such but still her beloved cities were first.

‘Well I don’t know, it’s pretty much like New York, just smaller’ There was nothing special about Washington, just another big city full of people and noisy streets, but still she loved it there. ‘Maybe the buildings, they are fantastic, not as big as this but I love it’ new York was too big for her and too crowded but the parties were the best things about the city, in this city people never slept, there were 24 h restaurants, clubs open until late in the morning and there was always something going on. She loved the nightlife of New York but she wanted to come back home. I like Washington though and I’ve been in the country once or twice but I get crazy when I’m not in the city. She laughed and chewed her food and took another sip of her coffee setting down the book beside her bag and watching the sky remembering all the places she had been and how much she liked them all but how much she hated being changing places all the time until she finally settle down in Washington.

"I like Washington though and I’ve been in the country once or twice but I get crazy when I’m not in the city."

Naomi chuckled a bit, "Haha, I get a little crazy when I'm not in the country, it's why I come to this park so often, or to that wildlife reserve." They were two people, quite like the country mouse and city mouse, each a little crazy in the other's home. "When I graduated from high school, all I wanted to do was get out and come here, ya' know, make some art, make some music, have some fun, but I found myself missing the hills a lot more than I expected to, so once I've lived enough of a life here, I'll go back.. or somethin'.. but you never know with anythin'... I could just end up living here the rest of my life here, haha."

It was strange how her life had changed so dramatically since her move up, she'd spent the last of her school days living with a restless desire to get up and get out, now that she was here and used to the hustle and bustle her ever-thinking mind drifted often to her old home and the boy she used to mess around with. It was so trivial now that she was on her own, and she'd officially had made up her mind that being and adult sucked and that such a restless desire was quite irrational and stupid of her to have.

You were only young and carefree once, with everything handed to you, everyone was taking care of you, but not here. She'd wished it all away as fast as possible and now it was gone, not for good, but a part of her youth was gone forever, she had left it there in the hills and she could never have it back.

"So, I've only been to Washin'ton once, on a field trip in like tenth grade, I got to go into all of them museams'

There were people who loved the country, she wasn’t one of them. The country was fine to spend a day or two, to disconnect and to have a romantic moment with someone but no, she didn’t want to live there. I’m here only on holidays, visiting my parents. She hated to travel since she had been traveling so much but it was the only way to see her parents and she wasn’t getting many glances of them anyway. I never wanted to leave Washington, because I used to travel a lot with my parents and move all the time so when I had the chance to stay in a place I told my parents I wasn’t moving more. She had planted herself in Washington and she didn’t have plans to move, when she told her parents they didn’t even cared about it but she wasn’t surprised. Everyone do that, I mean, fantasizing about getting out of the place they are living, it’s like a way of growing up, then you notice it sucks.

She wished she was like the rest, she didn’t have the need to fantasize, she had always been a grow up, she had always been alone and doing everything by herself, she didn’t wanted to get out of her parents reach because they never took care of her in the first place and she had been living alone all her life. The only thing she wanted was having the normal life people was having around her, the same worried Naomi had about getting back home with her family because she had discovered being an adult wasn’t as easy as everyone thought. Unfortunately for me I never had that, I’ve always been alone myself on that one. Eileen had always been alone and she was used to it but she knew other people wasn’t like her and for them, the loneliness, was something they couldn’t handle, she was obviously missing the people she was used to hang out with and her family and the comfort of knowing if you something wrong they will always there to help her out, she wished she had the same luck, the same feeling of security and comfort, but it wasn’t possible, she had never been a kid or felt that, and she wasn’t going to get it now that she was a full grow up.
