Hope u like this story! I had B.Y on the brain as listening to this so I thought it was cute!
I'll Always Remember You
It was a stormy night as lightning sliced across the sky and thunder roared overhead. Lightning flashed, lighting the earth below. Down below, was a college. Uniqua was eighteen and listening to the radio. She sat in her dorm room unable to sleep. The storm had nothing to do with her sleepless hours. Uniqua heard the rain as it rushed towards the ground. The water came in heavy droplets that splashed against her window. Uniqua looked around her dorm, she had no roommate. Just then, thunder rumbled, Uniqua covered her ears just as a book fell. Uniqua looked towards her shelf and to a pink large book. She stood up and hauled the book into her arms. "I thought I left this book at home." Uniqua opened the book.
I always knew this day would come
We'd be standing one by one
With our future in our hands
So many dreams so many plans
The book was labelled ~Best Memories~ Uniqua looked along the pages and giggled. The book held pictures of her and her friends. Friends she hadn't seen in countless months. Her smile soon vanished from her face as missing when she was six. Suddenly, a loose picture escaped from the pages and softly landed on the floor of the dorm. Uniqua settled the book beside her as she leaned down and picked up the picture. She was about to place it back when she saw what the picture detained.
Always knew after all these years
There'd be laughter there'd be tears
But never thought that I'd walk away
With so much joy but so much pain
And it's so hard to say goodbye
A picture of herself and Austin sharing a snack under the large tree that stood in her yard back home. Austin – that timid but fun loving kangaroo that was always by her side. Uniqua opened the book once more and placed the photo back. Uniqua then began to observe other photos of her and Austin, together. Playing those childish games that were so real years ago but meant nothing now. Uniqua removed a picture of Austin from her book. She glared at it in her hands. The last picture with him, before she went off to college – he was going the day after. Uniqua frowned once more as she felt a tear dribble down her cold check. They were hugging.
But yesterday's gone we gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to know ya
The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
Uniqua pulled the picture and pressed it against her chest as she closed her eyes. How she wished she could feel his warm hands wrap around her once more – just one more time. Uniqua couldn't help it anymore. She grabbed her phone off the hook and dialled his cell number. It began to ring. "Please pick up, Austin. Please!" Uniqua whispered to herself. She looked towards her clock – it was 2:30 a.m. "The person you have called is unavailable at the moment. Please leave a message after the beep…" The phone dropped and hung from the cord. Uniqua lay across her bed with her arm hanging off. He didn't answer, he probably forgot about her.
Another chapter in the book can't go back but you can look
And there we are on every page
Memories I'll always save
Up ahead on the open doors
Who knows what we're heading towards?
I wish you love I wish you luck
For you the world just opens up
But it's so hard to say goodbye
Uniqua began to cry into her pillow as she hugged it. The phone beeped as it said, "Please hang up and try your call again." Uniqua looked down at the book that slid off her bed. The page it was opened on was filled with pictures of her and Austin – from six all the way to eighteen. Them smiling and laughing, bright faces with wild thoughts, singing and dancing, curious and adventurous – not at the moment. Uniqua was crying on her bed during the stormy night. Out of all her friends, she wished to talk to that purple loving and caring kangaroo. He'd tell her everything will work out even in the toughest times.
Yesterday's gone we gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to know ya
The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
Uniqua looked along the pages as she wiped away her tears. She placed her fingers on a single picture of Austin who was smiling and his hands tucked behind his back. She dragged her fingers along the photo wishing to back to that day. Uniqua hugged herself since nobody else was there to hug her. She needed a hug – from Austin. His warm purple body pressed against hers as his arms wrapped around her. She would lean her head on his chest and tell him…tell him…
Every day that we had all the good all the bad
I'll keep them here inside
All the times we shared every place everywhere
You touched my life
Yeah one day we'll look back we'll smile and we'll laugh
But right now we just cry
Cause it's so hard to say goodbye
Tell him that she always had feelings for him. Uniqua suddenly heard something, something open with a snap but she was to in thought to notice or too look. Just then, as Uniqua buried her face into her pillow, a cold and wet hand landed on her shoulder. Uniqua looked up – Austin. Uniqua sprung up and pulled him into a hug. Austin wrapped himself around her too. He was wet, cold and his clothes were soggy - but – he was still warm. Uniqua pressed against his chest. "Austin, I've missed you."
Yesterday's gone we gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to know ya
The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
The two stood next to bed as listening to the radio that was on the whole time. It was now playing "I'll Always Remember You" Uniqua held Austin close as never wanting to let him go again.
I'll always remember you
Austin looked at Uniqua. Lightning lit the room. Just as Uniqua was about to tell Austin on how she felt about him, she was pulled in for a kiss.
I'll always remember you
I wrote this awhile back and decided to post it. I dunno, I thought it was a cute drabble.
