Light Speed
Hey, everyone! This is my very first story ever and I really want to know if it's good or not. So please review and go easy on me! Enjoy my one shot!
Butch's P.O.V
I ran. I ran away. Away from the only people who could make me smile. I ran away past the people who I live to see when I wake up everyday. Even if I can't stand them. I ran away hoping everything wrong would somehow dissolve or fade away
leaving a brand new start. I guess I thought the faster I run, the faster I would heal and things would change. I was wrong.
Have you ever had one of those days? You know, the ones where everything goes wrong and you can only hope it will get better? Yeah, well sometimes it just won't get better, no matter what others may say.
I slowly creaked opened the front door and glanced over at her. It was all I felt I could do.
She crouched down onto the steps with her hands shoved into her pockets, her hat pulled down over her face, and her eyes staring down at the cold, hard pavement. I watched as a single wet teardrop fell from her eyes. Anyone could tell she was shaking from a mile away.
Today marked the very day that she found out the truth about what had happened to Miyako. Miyako had just passed away and I can't help but feel like it's all my fault.
I could have saved her, but I didn't. I froze at the sight of the tall structure crashing down upon me, in an almost swaying motion before it took the harsh fall and started to collapse. Just then, she pushed me out of the way taking my place to die. She took the ultimate sacrifice and saved me.
I looked back up at Kaoru, who stared back with glossy tears still forming in her eyes. As if reading my mind, she tilted her head and said:
" It was never your fault Butch. It could have been anyone. It happened at light speed."
Does that mean she'll forgive me? I was completely shocked by her words and watched as she stood up shakily, transformed, and flew away, leaving her hat behind.
But still, her words stuck with me. "Light speed" I whispered.
That's all it could take. My brothers don't need me. Boomer most defiantly won't miss me after that. I knew Momoko would think of it as something for the better and Kaoru... I don't quite know.
Then, it's decided. I carefully picked up Kaoru's pale green hat, the only thing I'll have from the last person who may or may not miss me. I know now that I'll miss her as those few words replay in my head, over and over again. Then, I take off running away from here so fast that it can only be described as light speed.
