Rain,
Rain, Go away.The
rain was pounding down on the broken courtyard, the two bodies bloody
and mangled, one dead, one alive.Barely.Rizas car screeched to a halt
on the outside, running into the courtyard, falling on a sharp rock,
and getting up, running like a wild woman, clawing at anything in her
way, finally falling, gasping for stolen breaths on the rock floor by
one of the bodies, "Roy! Roy…" she took him gently in her arms,
aware of the various scratches and gaping bruises, she rocked in the
rain, crying, sobbing uncontrollably into his hair. Everything was
blurry through the rain, Riza just rocked, back and forth, back and
forth, slow, demented, a melody she knew, escaped from her lips, she
hummed the tune, wanting to tell Roy she loved him, to kiss him, but
she couldn't, so the rain thundered down and her hair came undone
from its tidy bun, it trailed down her back, laying in wet wisps on
her face and Roy. Plastered to her, her wet clothes were wet and
heavy, soaked with blood and mud. "Why?!?!?" she screamed up at
the clouds, the rain."Why?! He never hurt you!" jumping up,
dropping Roy, she screamed at the sky, yelling and swearing, shaking
her fist "Riza?" hardly a word, barely a whisper, it cut through
her angry cries. Dropping to her knees, she started crying again,
"Roy!" he sat up shakily, and she ran to him, helping him to the
military car waiting outside, driving, she tried to wipe the tears
from her eyes, but Roy looked at her in the mirror and smiled, the
dirt on his face making his smile glimmer, she smiled back and kept
driving, just driving.
