I don't own One Piece. That honer goes to Eiichiro Oda.
Chapter One
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really in an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.
"Stop talking." I grumbled under my breath. The lady that's speaking over the intercom in the shop just wouldn't stop talking; advertising new sales they had, new sections in isles, new things I didn't care about. I just wanted to get what I wanted and get out before I have to hear the lady repeat herself... again for the third time? I don't know.
I got into the section where the fruit is and looked down to my left hand where I held lined paper that had what I needed or want to by. Apples it said in my neat but at the same time messy hand writing. I strolled over to the apples and grabbed a thin plastic bag that they put out for customers to put fruit into. I shook it open with one hand while I put my shopping basket down. Grabbing some apples, something gets my attention. Chocolate! I loved chocolate.
As I was drooling over the image of chocolate, I unknowingly put a strange looking apple that was green with yellow lightning-like patterns on it. I picked up my basket and placed the bag the apples were in into the basket and walked straight over to the chocolate.
My keys jingled as I unlocked the door to my apartment. I sighed as I dumped the groceries onto the kitchen counter. I hated doing grocery shopping. It sucked. Throwing my coat onto the couch arm, I rummaged through the shopping and grabbed chocolate and apples. Opening the chocolate, I broke a piece off and popped it into my mouth, shivering as the taste came like a train and played with my tastebuds. I love chocolate so much.
After swallowing the chocolate, I ripped the bag that the apples were in, open and grabbed one out. As soon as I took a bit, I gagged. That's revolting! I swallowed anyway. I held up the apple in front of my face and inspected it. "What the?" I traced the lightning-like pattern on it with my index finger. "Weird." I took another bit. "Bleh!" I swallowed the apple piece in my mouth and walked over to the bin, dropping the apple. Disgusting!
I grabbed a glass cup and poured some tap water into it. Drinking the water, trying to get rid of the foul taste in my mouth, my eyes look out the window that was right behind the sink I was standing in front of. I watched the clouds as I finished the last of the water. Putting the cup into the sink, I glance at the sky before turning and grabbing my coat. I walked into my room and grabbed my backpack that is for the days I don't have to work on.
Slipping my arms through the straps, I walked to the front door and grabbed my keys that were on the key rack. Locking the door behind me, I started walking down the hall.
The wind ruffled my hair as I stared up at the sky. The long grass tickled my nose as I watched the clouds change form from form as they rolled across the sky. I was rolling a red rose between my fingers. I didn't care about the thorns on it; I just wanted to watch the sky while laying on lush green grass with beautiful red flowers that surrounded me.
As I was laying here, my mind drifted to the incident that happened three years ago. Images flashed past my mind, I only getting a glimpse of them. Even with a glimpse, I knew what was happening. As images flashed, I heard voices, calling my name, laughing with joy. I didn't know what made them change and I'm scared to know the truth. The images flashing past my mind were of my friends and I.
All of them were of the memories we shared. I found myself grinning and giggling as images flew past. The grin soon slowly turned to a frown and my giggling stopped as the images slowly started to change.
"She's so annoying."
"We should just ditch her."
"Why are we friends with her again?"
Voices of my so-called friends filtered into my mind. I had heard them talking about me behind my back. I just thought they were talking about someone else; so I had walked right up to them and smiled, asking what they were talking about.
"No-one, just someone we wished would disappear forever."
"Oh, ok." I had said cheerfully, totally oblivious that they were talking about me.
My eyes widened slightly in surprise as I felt a wet liquid sliding down my cheek.
"Hey, want to be friends? My names Lily."
"Yo, names Alexia. Call me Alex."
"Hi! My names Emily. You're nice, let's be friends."
I brought my hand to my cheek and scooped up the liquid on my cheek. I single drop of water was on my finger when I held it above my face. The tear dropped from my finger splashed back onto my face, hitting my nose. I wiped the tear and tear stain from my face before sighing and resting my hand on my stomach, my other still playing with the red rose.
Looking up at the sky, I notice the sky was turning red, orange and pink. I could picture my parents looking down at me from heaven, smiling and encouraging me to do the right things in life. I sat up, my left hand behind me, keeping me up as I smiled at the sky.
My parents had always said I had a good heart, but I just haven't found the right people to share it with. The sound of cars colliding; the horrible sound of metal against metal, and then screaming, filled my mind. My parents had been two of the five that had died in that accident. My stomach churned as the image of my parents' mangled bodies showed in my mind. I had been badly injured in that accident; I was in a coma for a year and half. I didn't exactly have a strong body after that. My organs were slowly failing on me but the doctors haven't yet found out how long I would be in this world anymore.
Smiling at the last memories of my parents smiling together, I reached up to the sky, trying to reach the sun. They had said I was like the sun. Always bright and warm. My smile turned sad. My black hair swayed as the breeze blew. My eyelids felt heavy so I laid back on the flower covered grass and let the darkness take me.
