Jason bugs the shit out of me, but he interests me. I might write more about him.
It is all Sarah Dessen's, fyi. Don't sue.
It's short. I'm sorry.
"It's so she can fly."
So she can fly? What does that mean? Where is this Macy coming from? What happened to the calm, sensible Macy I thought I knew so well? She, of all people, would know that it's impossible to fly, not on your own. And what was with the angels? It wasn't logical to think angels existed. Where was the calm, logical Macy? Where was my Macy? With a pang I realised that this had all happened after she said that word- love. That was what happened to Macy. Love.
Then, suddenly, she takes off. Fast. I hadn't realised she could run that fast. I know that she used to be a runner, and that she was pretty fast. I just hadn't realised she was that fast. Fast enough that she was almost a blur, fast enough that nobody could ever catch her. But suddenly, she's gone, taking off as if there's something chasing her. Or as if she has to get somewhere, fast. Or... get to someone?
Everyone is staring, of course. How could you not, when you were interrupted by a girl running as if her life depended on it, through the party? But there's someone staring more intently then most.
A man, no, a boy- he's staring at her with dark eyes, and when she reaches him she stops, and I can tell she's breathing heavily. I see his mouth move, but I can't make out any words. I start to walk towards her, meaning to finish up our conversation, but something stops me.
She kisses him. And while she kisses him, he wraps his arms around her like he'll never let her go. Her arms wrap around his neck and tangle in his hair. She's kissing him with more passion then she ever kissed me with. Then I ever let her kiss me with.
I look back to the angel, the angel I had pitied. The angel who thought she could fly. And suddenly I envy her, envy her for the belief that she could get away. Because suddenly, suddenly I would give anything to fly away, anything to get away from here and Macy and this boy.
I thought Macy was crazy for believing she could fly. It takes me a while to realise that she already has.
