Hi! This is the first chapter of my first story that I've written.
Hope you like it! Sorry the first chapter's like reallyyyyy short. :')
Chapter 1 - A Look Back
The wind rustled as I stood under the cheery blossom tree, in full bloom on the clear blue day in July. I walked along the park path that lead me to a bench where a sat my old self down. I watched the kids playing in the grass, Pokémon running everywhere, and couples chatting and having fun. I sighed as that feeling just rushed back to me. As I closed my eyes for a few moments, I heard someone take a seat beside me.
Beside me sat a girl, probably 18 or 20 years of age. Her expression showed that she was deep in thought, which forbid me from making conversation.
She looked up, "huh? Oh sorry Ma'am I looked pretty spaced out didn't I?"
I let out a small laugh, she reminded me of myself when I was her age.
"What's your name hun?" I asked her, trying to make something of my day.
"I'm Victoria, ma'am what's yours?" she asked.
"My names May," I said with a smile. "So what brings you here sitting down on such a beautiful young day?"
Victoria gave me a sweet smile, yet I knew she was hiding something.
"I could say the same for you…I just have a lot on my mind I guess."
I chuckled, "you can always tell an old geezer like me."
Victoria sighed, "My boyfriend's just…involved with some bad stuff, I love him I really do. I don't wanna leave him, but this situation is just really messing with my mind."
I gulped, remember those memories I had with him. Victoria reminded me of how I felt 60 years ago. Eighty years and those memories never faded into dust, still remembering them clearly, those memories and how I felt…how we felt. Shades of red and green cross my mind for a split second, I shook my head to focus myself on Victoria again.
"I know how you feel Victoria, I can still feel the emotions you're feeling," I said trying to reassure her.
"I just don't know what to do May, it's hard y'know," she stuttered.
I saw tears running down her cheeks, so I quickly grabbed a tissue from my purse and wiped her tears away with it.
I thought for a moment whether to do it or not, something came over me and I convinced myself that I would tell her.
"Do you wanna hear a story sweetheart? I'm not sure if it would help or not, but if would probably relate to how you're feeling right now." I said.
Victoria looked up from the ground. "Yeah sure, I got all day, so I need some time to kill."
"Maybe I'll start from the very beginning then, sixty years ago. From there it was laughs to cries, yells to shouts. A story about 20-year-old me, and a 20 year old that went by the name Drew Hayden…"
