Forever Night

Stacie sat at the foot of her bed with a some what blank stare while writing in her journal. Her entry today was about the new student at school that she couldn't get out of her head. He constantly kept appearing in her thoughts and dreams. This happened so often she couldn't even tell if she hated him or loved him. He seemed to ignore her, only taking glances at her in class and in the hall.

"The feelings I have towards him are so strange." She sat there, her mind still flooded with thoughts of him, this infuriated her. Just as she slipped her journal under her mattress her mother called out "Stacie time for dance class!"

Stacie hated dancing, but she did it to make her mother happy. She'd much rather be at the mall buying new books or clothes, or even both. She's a very intelligent person and an all A student. She quickly slapped on her dance shoes and walked out of her room closing the door behind her. She hustled out the door and to the car. All the way to the studio she was being eaten away inside by her constant thinking of him. His name was Taylor, but the people who constantly talked about him called him Tay. Stacie found his nickname attractive, but this didn't help with her earlier debate.

"OK we're here," her mother exclaimed. Stacie turned and rolled her eyes so to not be seen. "Have fun sweetie!!" She shut the door and didn't even hear the rest of her mother's sentence. As she entered the studio something in the distance up the sidewalk in front of the studio caught her eye. A tall figure broke the horizon where the sky and the sidewalk met. Could it be?, she thought to herself.

The figure came closer and closer. This was no regular person, it was Taylor. The reaction she had taken her breath away.

Her inhaler was in her bag but as she searched she became faint and her breathe became heavy as she gasped for air. She had been known to have asthma attacks after she becomes anxious in this case it was brought on by the culprit.

She started to lean side to side in a dizzy manner still gasping for air. Just as her hand touched the inhaler she fainted. Her final thought was, Could this be the end? Then in a faded voice she heard someone speaking to her and this person's last words were "Hang on just a little longer, Stacie," and her mind went blank.
