I Promise


Author's Note:

Hi PEOPLEZ!

This is a fanfic I made like two or three years ago. Apparently I lost the 'Original' of this story in between those years that I had it, so I've tried my best to memorize how the story was and what not.

Anyhoo, I'm not really sure if this is going to be one of me top favorite ones. I want to get off topic it for a second. I'm trying to write more actiony, but I keep coming up with crummy love crap...and you know I don't know why...I think it's a female thing.

Chapter one

The Promise That was Born


The day was drained from sunshine and the warmth of another spring day. A girl was sitting on a bench as rain began to drizzle from the grayed heavens of that first day of spring. She sat there for a while and bent her legs and pulled them close to her chest and rested her chin on her knees to lessen the shaking of her body from the freezing rain. luckily the rain concealed the tears that she was shedding from that day.

He was moving away, far away. She didn't want to loose him, she never did, nor wanted him to leave her, but he had to, it was the fate of a child who's family had a big business. By now the skies spewed rain harshly while ample gusts of wind blew wildly. Her hair fluttered with the wind and jolted freely as did her mind. Her whole body drenched, her eyes red and puffy from the joyless tears as she felt warm arms hugging her from behind. She knew those arms very well, because they were the ones that held her so tenderly and so dear.

"I was looking for you" he said in a whispered by hear ear. It sent her shivers through her body, she never could understand why he made her feel this way, what was this feeling? she'd always asked herself this in her mind. He rested his chin on her shoulder and leaned his head over to her's and took a whiff of her jasmine like fragrance. "Why are you out here?" he asked as he held her more closer to him. "As if you don't know" she said as she leaned into his touch "your moving away, far far away" she said as she closed her eyes "and your not even telling me where you're going" she then grabbed his arms and untangled them from her body and sat up and turned to him. Her cerulean eyes revealed the anguish and misery that resided in her wistful sapphire orbs.

"I've told you already, I don't know where I'm going. All I know is that the old man has some 'business' for me, and that I have to move. That's all, I promise" he said as he walked to the other side of the bench and sat by the pitite girl "I know we won't be able to see each other, but we can still write and talk on the phone, and maybe" he said as he put an arm over her shoulder "I can come visit you" he said with a smile. "Yeah, I guess your right, and maybe I can visit you" she said as she looked at him, as a little flicker of hope sparked in her. "Well you see, the problem is you can't come and visit" he said as he tried to look away. "Why? is it because---" "No it's not because of you, it's just...I want you away from those snotty ass people, you know how they can be. They judge you, tell you, your no good, then reject you" he said as he looked at her "and trust me if I didn't have my old man and his cash, I'd be rejected in a second" he said and snapped his fingers. He took off his jacket and gave it to her "Here put it on before you catch pneumonia again" he draped his letterman jacket over the girl (It's from his football team) "Thanks" she said shyly as a faint flush appeared on her face. The boy just laughed a bit and held the girl tightly "You know" he said "one day we'll live in the countryside". "Really?" the girl asked wide eyed as she looked at the boy. "Yeah, why not? I mean we can have a big ranch with cattle, sheep, horses, and all that other junk that farms or ranches have. You think they have talking cows?" he asked as he scratched his head while the girl giggled at his idiocy.

He looked at his watch and sighed heavily. "I have to get going" he said. "Now? but it's so soon" she said as she hung her head to hide her eyes from the new tears that were threatening to run. The boy lifted her head with his finger under her chin and looked into her eyes. "Yeah, I know it's really soon, but before I go I wanted to give you something" he said and then got off of the bench and on to his knees and held both her hands. "I want you to know you mean the world to me and that I really care for you" he let go of her hands and took something out of his pockets (his jean's pocket) and took out a small black box. He opened the little box to reveal a small ring (A/N: "Sterling Silver Gift Wrapped Heart Ladies' Purity Ring" It's from Zales if you want to see it the link is on the end of this chapter) The girl just sat there in shock as she looked at the ring. "This is why I took that job last summer to get this ring for you" he said as he took out the ring from its case "this is a promise ring," he said as he took it between his fingers to show the girl the ring "and my promise to you is that you and I will be back together to again, you know, just like old times" he said as he took her right hand and put the ring on (which is on her ring finger the one beside the pinky) "I wish I could have gotten you a better one, but I rather wanted to get that with the money that I earned, insteaded of asking the old man" he said as he rubbed the back of his head. "No it's beautiful, thank you" she said as she admired the ring. That's what she loved about him, his father's money never did make him into one of those guys that thought they were hot stuff just because of their father's money and high connections. He always tried to get by on some money he'd have or just get a job for the heck of it.

He got up and turned around and started off walking. "Wait, can't you just stay a bit longer? or at least change you father's mind?" she asked as she followed him. "I've tried and I can't, if I stay longer it's going to hurt more and you know that" he kept walking "I'm going and that's, that". "Alright then, here's your jacket then" she said as she took it off and handed it to him. "No you keep it" he said as he waved the jacket back to her "but I want you to stop following me, ok my folks don't know I'm here. Just give me a good bye hug" he said as he opened his arms as she hugged him. She'd miss his spicy musky scent and he in return would miss her sweet tangy scent and everything else. Before they let go he whispered in her ear tenderly "I promise" then looked in her eyes and began to walk away.

She stayed there as the rain continued to drop down heavily as he walked away, little by little vanishing over the horizon and walking out of her life. She tried not to cry, but failed in her attempt. At that point the skies started to drizzle and then finally stopped and unveiled the sun. She rubbed her eyes and walked to another path to take her home as she looked at the ring. It felt some what odd that her best friend would give her something like this, even though they've been friends for a short while. All in all, it was a hard time being his friend. At first he thought she was in for the money, or for the lime light of actually being the son of a great man, but actually (to his surprise) she was just another girl, an average school girl that was just too naïve and innocent for her own goddamned good.

But that was over he's gone and might never come back, and if he did, then as god as her witness she'd never eat another lemon again (she loves eating lemons). As she finally got off the old path and onto the sidewalk that took her to herhouse on top of the old hill that held her family's shrine, she examined the ring a bit more and took in all the details and its texture. Then the skies turned gray and drizzled once again. The girl turned her hand over (palm facing up towards her) and saw something on the ring. It was something engraved in the ring (A/N: I'm not telling you what it says yet). She read it and smiled as she continued on her way. maybe it was for the best she thought, but she'd never know that the feelings she had for him, was love. A young love, an innocent love, an ignorant and it was true what they say "Ignorance is a bliss" because for these two, they dodn't know that they bothleft part of themselves within one another.

But that all changes until they reunite once more, years later and so this is were are love story begins...


To Be Continued...


Yeah...That was kind of dull for me and yet oddly refreshing...weird.

Anyhoo! I hope you like it. Again I won't update for a while, due to the fact of the lack of comments, life and of other fanfics that I want to get out of the way with, so as I've said before PLEASE give me some feedback, and if you'd like to see the ring from the fanfic here it is (http/i64.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!
