June 28, 2012

Hello readers! Most of us are probably like me, heading off to go for a swim on this hot summer day, or you are relaxing in your air conditioning house. Either way, enjoy your day whoever you spend it. I dreamed about the way Rei and Kira's love seemed everlasting even though they were polar opposites. Dark themed with the mention of abuse, drugs, self harm and sexual sistuations. Written in third person with flashbacks included.

Disclaim: I don't own any characters, but my own creation.

One Minute

In a second your whole world can change. One minute you could be laughing with your girlfriend thinking how adorable she is when she gets ice cream on her lip, and you want to lick it off of her, but you want to snap a picture of her, so you do. You keep it in your wallet next to the one you took of the two of you kissing on the swings last summer. You know exactly what she was wearing because you pay that much attention to her. You shower her with love and affection after a troubling day with her art. Taking it out after you're working all day on your motorcycle, and need a lunch break, you smile and ask yourself: what did I do to deserver this perfect girl? Is this karma getting ready to make my life finally meaningful and then rip it all away just because you stole that bike you really, really wanted? Or did you just die and go to Heaven and are dreaming this. She makes your day and brings a smile to your face even on your gloomiest days.

Then another minute passes by, and you are feeling torn and frustrated. You haven't heard from your girlfriend all day, and it's starting to worry you. You call her cell and no answer. Giving it the 'what the fuck' attitude, you stop by her controlling parents, who you secretly hate, house and ask her if they have seen them. When they haven't and are finished giving you the 'you don't deserver to be with my good girl daughter' look, you politely say thank you and go to the park. This is where you first met her on that warm day, and you weren't that nice to her. You wish you could take it back, but the past is the past. You sit on the same bench she sat on drawing her mother and baby sketch: her blond hair tumbling along with the wind, her face in tight concentration on the artwork in front of her, and her pink tongue slightly sticking out because of the deep concentration.

A young girl sits cross legged on a bench her artwork spread around her. Just for the hell of it, he walks over to her and stares her down. She meets his gaze with amber eyes that have a hint of recognition. He knows he seems scary with his holey jeans, messy blond hair, and the signature scowl permanently formed on his lips.

"You're sitting on my bench." He simply states as he crosses his arms.

She honestly looks shocked, a small o forms on her mouth and she begins to gather her stuff. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to." She says looking at her feet and walks away with no words left. He watches her go, and just when he is about to sit down, he spots her drawing of a mother and a baby. Suddenly, the bad boy is left speechless.

You hear your phone ring and look at the caller ID. You sigh in relief seeing your girlfriends name pop up on the screen. You answer it in the voice that gets her blush going and makes her feel shy. In one moment your whole life could come crashing down with a simple sentence.

"Rei, he's back he's back! Please, oh god, no! Someone help me! Rei save me!" Kira cries out and a muffled scream enters her pleas and then line goes silent. It breaks your heart and you suddenly stunned at what just happened. Did that just happen? Yes, yes it did. Rei walks out of the park in a daze the weather, which seemed sunny and nice, now seems cold and empty. Rei's heart is torn at the thought of losing Kira when he had just seen her this morning. Wet marks run down Rei's face as he realizes he is crying; Rei never cries. Rei slides down the brick wall and punches it welcoming the physical pain and not the pain in his heart. Rei's only thought is on how he lost Kira. In one second your whole life could change.

Yes, the first chapter was short, but I'm hoping to have the next chapter updated by the beginning of Sunday.
