Here's the preface to my new story. This is from Kory's POV about Xavier. Richard will come into the story very soon. I hope you like it!
That time was long gone, but the memories were still there in my mind. Reminding me of the love and tears over him. The picture still stood on my dresser. We were at our favorite park, just 3 blocks away from my house. It was summer; I was wearing my favorite blue and white dress from Forever 21. His arms were wrapped around my waist, and we were both smiling and laughing. At that moment, it had seemed like nothing could ever break us apart. But I mean really, forever? Who were we kidding? Forever had taken the train to the west along.
It was 6:37; I was still lying in bed underneath my black and pink comforter, trying to hold back those dreaded tears. It was all those tears built up since that horrid day. The day we broke up. Or really, the day he broke my heart for the last time; at least that's what I try to tell myself.
I glanced over at out picture again. Next to it were 12 faded red roses with a frayed black silk ribbon tied around them. The roses were the last thing he gave me before we went our own separate ways. I could never bring myself to throw them out. Even though they reminded me of that painful day; they also reminded me of those happier times where I didn't have a care in the world. I tried blinking back the tears, but one large tear still managed to slide down my cheek. I really didn't want to still feel like this. Ugh. I pulled the covers back over my head hoping that I could somehow fight this feeling.
My reasons for not wanting to get out of bed were first of all, its way too early for a 15 year old like me to get up. And second, today is the first day of school. The beginning of the end of the summer. My sophomore year. Plus, I would see him. It would be the first time I had seen him since our break up. I had tried to keep it that way, but now reality was getting in the way.
I know it's short, but I just wanted a small preview of her feelings. Please review and tell me if you want me to continue.
