Hello! Welcome to my story! This had a prequel, which also had a prequeal, but. I never finished the prequel to this story. I do plan on finishing this one! Hopefully, this will be good. Thanks for reading!
Prologue.
"I'm tired, Josh."
She's looking in my direction. We're about three feet apart, but she's not looking at me. She's talking to me, but she's not looking at me. She's staring at the space behind my bed.
I'm in the hospital. Why am I in the hospital? Am I sick?
I watch her dark, brownie-colored eyes before answering. "I'm tired too."
Not the right thing to stay. I'm so stupid! Why aren't I trying to say something reassuring, something productive? No, I need to say something.
"Really tired."
No! Not that!
She finally looks at me, I can tell. Her black hair falls over her face, almost covering her eyes. Her sad eyes. Somehow, her sadness is accentuated by the whiteness of her normally tanned skin.
Why is she so sad?
"I know you are. Red just laid waste to you on that stupid mountain! Of course you're tired! But that's not the kind of tired I'm talking about!"
Oh. That's what I did.
Oh. She's not sad.
Oh. She's. Mad?
Wait. Why am I in the hospital?
"Red! Did he come down? Did I do it?"
Why am I saying this? Why am I not trying to keep her? I don't care about Red; I care about Rae!
"There you go again; Red! My God, Josh, you're in the hospital! Instead of staying on vacation with me, and traveling with me, you went to that stupid mountain, leaving me all alone, and you get crushed by a jerk who pushes you down the mountain!"
She's standing now. I don't like where this is going. She's beautiful, even when she's mad. Why aren't I saying something to stop her? She's wearing the sweater I bought her; the red one with the Pokeball outline on the back. Why can't I control myself?
"He didn't push me down the mountain! The blizzard was so strong, I couldn't see! Sniffles tried to get to me, but he's so big; he couldn't get to me in time! I tripped and fell!"
That's why I'm in the hospital.
Why am I defending myself? Stop it. Apologize.
"You got hurt! God! Why are you still arguing back?"
She's starting to cry now. Nonono. Don't cry. Stop crying. Josh, you *******, stop fighting!
"No, Rae, stop, I- I'm not arguing! I'm explaining. Stop crying, please."
A little better.
Silence. Well; silence if you minus Rae's sobbing. I'm dying. I can't stand to see her cry. I need to fix this.
"I was obligated."
No. Not the right thing to say.
"AGAIN! I'M- AAAARRGH! We've spent three years away from each other, only able to communicate through PokeGear! We finally get a chance to be together, to just be you and me, and you blow it! You leave me! I-I-I-I…. I can't….. I can't be here. I'm done. This is too much. I'm tired. I'm really, really tired. Goodbye Josh."
She's crying.
She's leaving.
I'm alone.
I hate me.
That's the prologue! I have chapter 1 already done too, so I'll post it next.
