A Través De Mi Ventana Novels & Stories

My gaze settled on the window! I dragged the trash bin closer and flipped it. It wobbled under my weight, but I braced myself against the cold wall. The window was narrow and painted shut. I pushed. Nothing. I shoved harder. Creak. The frame popped open just wide enough for me to squeeze through. I dropped onto a bed of gravel and swallowed a scream. Catching my breath, I pushed myself to my feet and limped my way around the property, toward the main road. My phone vibrated with another text.

When daddy finds out he's going to skin him. I rolled back onto my side and looked out the window at the tops of the trees in the distance. I didn't know that our windows aren't really windows until today. I could see through other people's windows with the drone, but when I buzzed our house earlier, all I saw was the reflection of the light outside. Daddy had surrounded the whole house with one-way glass.

Aurelia's Point Of View I glanced outside the window, my eyes tracing the familiar road as Alpha Dante expertly navigated the car through the winding streets. The morning sunlight bathed everything in a warm glow, casting delicate shadows on the passing buildings. It was a beautiful day, and I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness as we neared our destination.

ZARA I’m still asleep but it feels like I’m in a trance. I hear the chirping of birds from outside the window, which is strange because even though this place is surrounded by trees, I have never heard a bird sing outside my window. Soft winds pass by in a whisper, lifting the blinds around and causing them to brush my skin. There’s a halo of sunshine around my face, making it impossible to keep my eyes shut for longer.

I wake up in a soft bed, cocooned in my blankets. I stretch my arms as I sit up, light filters through the gap in the window curtains. My feet pad against the cold wooden floor as I go towards the window and open the curtains. A smile tugs at my lips. Sunlight is scattered over the tall trees, birds are sweeping and diving through the air. Opening the window, I let the cool morning breeze brush against my face. "This is life," I say to myself, crossing my arms at the windowsills.

When I put my hand outside to grab them, the water drenched my arm. Chilling, I closed the window. But, something caught my sight. Through the rain, I could see someone standing just below the street light. I'm waiting for you. The words haunt my brain and I widen my eyes in realisation.

Satisfied that it was safe, I pushed the window open, feeling a cool breeze brush against my face. I climbed onto the chair, balancing carefully as I reached out to unlatch the window. It creaked open, widening just enough for me to slip through. With one last glance back at the room, I took a deep breath and climbed out onto the window ledge, my heart pounding in my chest.

Dax's words were like a sharp knife that stabbed my heart, reopening a healing wound. His words were like salt that rubbed an open injury. It stung me, filling me with searing pain as I remembered my past. Transferring all the aggression on the windows, I scrubbed them with all my might, crying profusely. By the time I got to the brothers' window, I wiped my tears and cleaned my face with the dew that dropped on my palm. Their window was tinted in such a way that it reflected the image of the things outside only. No one would be able to see them from the inside.

The view from the window looks breathtaking, overlooking a lush green landscape, with vibrant blue clouds that look like they can touch the top of the trees. I place my hands on the windows that cover the entire space, a dreamy smile touching my lips. A door opens somewhere, but I don’t turn around. Instead, I wait. Five. Four. Three…

My heartbeat quickened instantly. I muttered to myself. "Seriously?" But that was the way I walked closer and pulled the curtains open sunlight flooded in making me squint slightly. I slowly opened the window and the outside air hit my face. I swallowed it high if I felt it would not end well. But I did not have a choice. I grabbed the edge of the glass panel and carefully tried to remove it. My hands trembled for a second but I forced myself to focus. "Focus!" With some effort I finally managed to loosen one side of the glass. I set it aside carefully now the opening was just wide enough for me to get through.
