Author's Note: I won't ever, ever.. regret this. \(^W^)/
"Be Careful!"
A certain little girl, who has been shying away and avoiding people was starting to loosen up. Sure, things weren't going well for her, and it may be impossible to heal, yet somehow.. because of this mischievous little boy, that she started looking again, much more.. even care for his whole existence.
As for this tricky little boy, who has been lying his way through the hearts of everyone..
He's still in complete disbelief with her actions.
But, if it means anything.. she's willing to say it over and over again.
It gives her a peaceful cozy night to sleep.
While, it gives him more time to wonder as of why she would continuously say such things and think about it in the dead of night.
Unknown to them, this is just the start of what XXXX has in store for them.
Chelsy's P O V
Teacher has finally allowed us to play outside. The sun shines bright, butterflies flutter merrily, and the breeze refreshing to the touch.
These past few days were nothing but depressing skies and relentless rain.
Today is quite a blessing.
I spot a tree, and hurry myself so I wouldn't appear to be out of place.
Everyone has already been occupied with doing something, Letty is chatting with Stella, and she doesn't seem much interested and I'm sure she's talking to Ricky too, as she constantly turns to her side, and giggles to herself.
Allen is reading a book by the tree meters away from me.
. . . . . Joshua . . . . . I don't see him anywhere.
Well, I just hope he's not getting into trouble again.
I sighed, as I slowly closed my eyes to nap for a bit.
When suddenly, I felt some weight on my head.
I reached out to touch it, but before I even got the chance to do so, I felt the weight vanish, and shades of green came in sight as the weight shifts from my head to lap.
And then, I came to realization that it was a...
F-FROG!
I let out a shriek, but it turned out much more of a squeak.
"Bwahahaha!"
I hear heavy laughter from above, and I quickly move out of my place before he drops another frog on my head.
"J-Joshua.. please get down from there."
He pouted and went at an even higher branch.
"A-ah! No! You might fall a-and.."
"No worries, you'll catch me, won't you..?"
He looked at me with teasing eyes, and then, laughed once more.
"I don't know.. I'm not very strong..."
"Oh, look.. I'm scared! What am I supposed to do...? It feels like I'm about to fall..."
He jokes around and acts like he's falling off and scared of what may happen.
"N-No! You really might.."
And just like that, the branch snapped and he was falling straight at me..
Ooof!
Did I.. catch him?
I opened my eyes, and braced myself..
Green, once again.
His eyes were clearly showing fear, even though he may seem unaffected. I almost thought he would cry, because for a moment there.. his eyes had glistened.. until he decided to stand up and wipe the dirt from his face.
I decided to do the same as well, when a piercing pain prevented me from doing so.
"Ah.."
He was silent, and wouldn't spare me a look. I hold onto my leg where the bruise can be found and tried my best to ignore it, but to no avail.
I gave up trying to conquer the pain and sat down in defeat. I just noticed that I'm now surrounded by a little field of flowers.
I stare at the bruise, and poked it.
"Ah!"
It really hurts.
"Stupid."
He was now sitting beside me, eyeing a tulip and then plucking it out of the ground.
"Here. I'm sorry."
I slowly grab onto the tulip, a bit hesitant for it might contain bugs or worms.
But, it's just a plain tulip.
"T-thank you. You really didn't need to."
After that, it became quiet again. I didn't dare speak, for he may be deep in his thoughts. The pain didn't bother me much, but with the slight movement.. it can be very unbearable.
"Why.. do you even care...?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, can you not care?"
"W-why not..?"
"Because..."
And he trailed off from there. I was about to speak when he just went closer and in a blink of an eye, I was in his arms and we were heading off to the house.
"D-Don't you want to enjoy the outside-"
"No."
His answer was firm. That I immediately forgot anything else I was about to say.
The way he held me, seemed a bit tight. But nonetheless, I've never felt this safe and secured all my life.
He is much more warm, than any of the teddy bears I have all these years.
No matter, how much I hug my teddy bears, I still feel cold.
Right now, I feel as if.. I could sleep all day long, without having to worry about single thing, it's strange, of how refreshing this is.
I can almost break away.
In a matter seconds, we were in my room.
He gently laid me down in my bed and left before I even said a word.
Can you not care?
Why. . .?
Is it because. . of me. .? Am I too annoying. .?
I. . . should have known.
I'm sorry.
I've already told myself. . . I won't do it again. I won't. . . But, for the first time, I happen to feel like my usual self again. Even though. . . it's painful at the same time. . Why did I let my guard down again. . .?
Maybe, it really is fate to accept what I've become. I don't have to change.
I have to...
Keep.. on.. closing.. my... eyes.
So, I wouldn't see.
Wouldn't know..
Wouldn't care.
