Hello everyone, well this is not a new story but a rewrite of my story Iris. I decided that i wasnt happy with the way the first one was written so i changed some bits. So enjoy the new one.
Following you
Part 1
My name is Haley James I'm 16 years old and an only child since three weeks ago. Three weeks ago my life was turned upside down. I was an average teenager. You know the one who hangs with their best friend playing pranks, telling stories, confiding in each other and most of all just enjoying each others company. Well I had all that and you know what, I was happy. For once in my life I was content with what I had, I had a non existent family which most people would find sad but I enjoyed it. The freedom, the independence and of course how else would I have met Lucas Roe my best buddy, my other half… platonically of course. Oh God... I miss him so much right now, I just want him to be here with me right now on this raining morning at the park. This was our place. Staring at the sandbox, remembering.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
We met when I was 3 years old, and let me just say I was a real cutie back then lol. He was in the sand pit with me playing with his miniature basketball. Yep he was basketball mad even at such a young age. It some how managed to roll its way to my side of the pit and he began to cry. By now you would think he was such a baby but well you are far from it… For some reason I got up and went over to him and handed back his ball. His blue eyes glistened with tears but then started to sparkle in the summer sky when he saw that his ball was back. I just stood there and smiled at him until my mummy came. (What I used to call my mum mummy till well I was like 8yrs old but enough of that.) Well she told me that it was time to go home. His blue eyes suddenly darted to mine when my mother mentioned home he looked saddened by the fact that I was leaving even though I didn't know his name and he didn't know mine. I gave him a toothy grin and waved as I said good bye to him. He stood up and gave me a smile which I remember till now, it was the funniest sight, think about it now but it was the sweetest then. He gave me a wide toothy smile well kinda because he had his two front teeth missing. From then on my mother took me to the park and got to know his mum Karen. I didn't know till I was 6 that my mum and Lucas' mum went to THH together and were friends. Lucas came to ours often and I went over to his sometimes. We formed a strong bond. He was my big Brother, the person who scared away all my potential boyfriends and was the person at my side when i cried. He was my everything my protector.
I shared my most intimate secrets with him and he did the same with me. He told me everything from what his favourite colour is, to who his latest crush was. It was sometimes hard to keep up with him, he was such a Ladies man, I just didn't see what all the girls in our school saw in him. I wasn't jealous that he wasn't attracted to me because I wasn't attracted to him as well and I will tell you now that no, never in our friendship were we attracted to each other well I know I didn't. We didn't have that type of bond; our bond was more brotherly sisterly kind. He was basically my family. When my parent were away, I would sometimes stay with Lucas and his family or Karen would let him stay at mines because she didn't like me being alone in a big house which I thank the lord every day that I got to know her and have her as a mother figure I couldn't have asked for anyone else. My parent where Engineers they travelled quiet a bit for their job, I would sometimes never see them for 3 months. Of course i loved them but i had also formed a strong bond with Karen.
I was waiting for him outside my house. I couldn't wait for him to arrive. He had just gotten his first ever car from his uncle Dan, he ran a car dealership. He was gonna pick me up and we would go over to Nathan's. He had always known that I had a little crush on him but he never said anything to him which I was happy for. It was quite a warm November never thought I would say that but it was nice not to cold and not to hot. I watched the streets for him to come down. He told me it was a red Porsche Carrera GT . I didn't know what that meant but you said it was red and I was happy that I could at least recognise it, I wasn't much of a car person. After about ten minutes of me waiting I saw his car he looked so happy driving down the street but then all I saw was the red car being thrown off the road and in to the pavement while a black SUV was attached to the left hand side of the red car. All I remember was running towards him, he looked so broken, I felt so broken. His last words are still embedded in my mind I love you Haley tell mum and dad that I love them as well and don't worry about me I will be watching over you.I screamed at him told him not to say that, that he will make it. I noticed sirens getting louder and people forming crowds around and that's when I realised that he had stopped breathing and that he was gone. I clutched his body crying, even when the paramedics arrived i didn't want to let him go. He was gone, right before my eyes, he was gone.
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
