Sometimes it rains. Sometimes I smile.
The rain is comforting. It makes me feel like some way, somehow, she's trying to tell me it's okay. That it wasn't my fault.
I forgot to say I loved her.
She looked so beautiful. It was my last night with her. I haven't seen her in years. I lost my chance. Damn.
I'm still trying to impress my dad.
He supported me. He loved me. But, when I came out of the closet, he could no longer look me in the eye. Everything I do is to prove to him I'm the same boy, the same son he always loved.
Cancer for sure. Still no cure.
Maybe that's why I savored those moments when I went over the speed limit, on the highway, in town, on the freeway. At least I'd die on my terms, instead of waiting around for the cancer to break me down.
After which he was never sane.
He watched his best friend die. It replays over in his head, and there's no pause button. It's a constant loop. He'll never forget it. He watched his best friend die.

My attention span is nonexistent. That's what my mom said the doctor said. I think. I wasn't listening. I notice everyone though. All your little quirks, I know those, too.

Sometimes at night I lay lonely.
I'm smart. I'm empowered, and confident. I'm alone, however. He still calls, but he doesn't say what I wish he would.
The light that night was perfect.
It was the same night I fell in love.
Important note: The italicized part in each of these ideas are excerpts from a book I'm reading. However, the regular text are my own ideas, so please do not take them.
Author's note: I would like to eventually write all of these into one-shots, two-shots, or perhaps a story. I'm very excited.
Please let me know which ones you like, if you didn't like any, and which one you think I should start with. I'm curious as to which character you think I'm writing about, too. Some characters have more than one story! So, please review letting me know these things.
First one should be up in the next few days if people let me know which to start with.
