A/N:Edited on 5/30/11

The truck bounced along the bumpy road. I didn't mind anymore, nothing bothered me anymore. I simply didn't care. I stopped the truck by the old swings and stared at them and remembered.

We were laughing over some silly joke, running around the swings. He was chasing me , trying to make me apologize for stepping on his new boots but I wouldn't give in. So I ran into the pond , screaming and laughing that he wasn't going to get me though I knew he would, but it was always fun to pretend. He came charging after me shouting out names and he finally grabbed me and dunked my head under water. After that it as a game of splash-of-war and we both were tired after a while so went back to the swings to sit down and relax.

This had become our spot , our place where we could run and play like five years old again. And now everything was about to change , I could feel it in my bones, my soul. Whether he was taken from me or not we would never be the same.

I got out of the truck and sat down on my swing.

"No no, you cant sit in that swing that ones mine!," He said storming over to where I was sitting in the left hand swing.

"Why does it matter, its just a swing?" I asked confused.

"Yea my swing! Look you can have that other one OK? I'll never sit in it ever I promise."

"I still don't get why this has to be your swing!Whats it matter?" I was still confused, this must be a boy thing.

He could tell I didn't get it so he said with a small grin,"I rubbed my cooties all over it. "This I understood and jumped off with a squeal ran to the other swing .He smiled and sat down on HIS swing.

I looked over at that empty swing and felt that oh-so familiar pang of despair and loneliness. I missed him more than anything and would do or give anything to have him back here with me.

With a sigh I got up and walked over to the little pond . Jake and I had nicknamed it rainbow pond when we were around six years-old because on a sunny day, the light reflecting of the water made little rainbows. I laid back on the grassy bank looking up at the gray sky that seemed to match my mood..

One day after he came home from college and we had been laying side by side smiling and full from the lunch my Gram had packed for us . We were trying to find pictures in the clouds. He pointed to one saying

"That looks like a one-eyed monkey!"

I burst out laughing and so did he. When we recovered from our laughing fit he rolled over on his side facing me and murmured "You have the most wonderful laugh." He leaned in towards me and kissed me. It was a shy kiss and he was never shy around me, but it also was a sweet kiss. His lips were soft and warm and I kissed him back as all those hidden feelings sprung up. I realized then that I loved him.

Tears sprung up in my eyes as I thought about that tender first kiss. I closed my eyes remembering.

Suddenly the clouds parted and the sun shone brightly on the pond making it sparkle. My phone beeped in my pocket. It was a text. and what it said my my heart sing.

*HE'S OK.*
