Never Walk Alone- Musical Inspiration for me to actually write was She's So Sorry - Hedley. The idea however came to me when I walked to Walgreen's alone after church. It end's sadly. I will NOT write a happy ending for it. The summary as you read is Pain - Watching the person who love fall for someone else. It's a revision of a phrase I've been using alot lately Pain - It's watching the guy you love fall for your best friend. But KC isnt a guy so that didn't work, and the guy isnt Riley's best friend. Also the 2 mile walk seems pretty short... sorry about that. I now present you Never Walk Alone.
"So I have to walk three miles to Riley's house?"
"Yes, unless he can come pick you up."
"He can't."
"So you can walk."
"It's three miles, and if I get kidnapped it's your fault."
"It's all main roads, and sidewalks to his house, you'll be fine," her mom said hanging up the phone.
"Damn mom, stupid car being in the shop," KC mumbled walking along the sidewalk, she searched for her pocket in hope's she shoved her iPod in it before work,"Ooh no iPod, but I have my mom's debate card, I can at least stop and get some food on the way to Riley's."
She kept walking until she neared a gas station. "Hrm, I think I'll get a granola bar and gatorade." She searched the shelves until she found what she was looking for. She walked up front to pay.
"Alot of Gatorade for a small girl," the cashier joked.
"It's not a lot if you have to walk two miles to a friends house," she sighed.
"Well I get off in five minutes and I get to walk two miles home." he said looking at her.
"Oh fun, where do you live?" she asked out of curiosity.
"Stone Pines." he replied.
"Hey that's where I'm heading, if you want I can wait for you to get off and we can walk together," she suggested.
"You know it's never smart to walk alone," he said laughing.
Five minutes later.
"Shall we go," he said stepping out of the store.
"Yes we shall. By the way I never got a name."
"Oh it's Taylor, what about you blondie," he teased.
"KC."
"Oh it's a pretty name," he said picking up the pace.
"Should I slow down, I'm a pretty fast walker," she joked.
"So who's this friend of yours?"
"Riley Litman, he's been my best friend since I was 4."
"Oh I know that kid, I met him when we first moved, but I never actually got to know him, I have my friends yah know?"
"So wanna do something productive, Play twenty questions or something?"
"Well instead of twenty questions what about five, and let's make them meaningful, not lame like what's your favorite color or anything."
"Ok, so why don't you go first."
"If you were forced to walk two miles again with only one person who would you walk with?"
"I think I'd chose to walk with you, I'm having fun."
"I see, your turn."
"Well, only thing meaningful I can think of right now is what do you look for in a girl?"
"Someone cool and pretty, and right now your fitting what I like well," he said with a flirty smile on his face.
"Well well, I may have to get to know you more," she giggled, "Your turn."
"Why are you walking two miles to you're friends house, I mean you're clearly old enough to drive."
"What happened to meaningful questions?"
"I can't think of anything to top yours."
"Well I guess I'll answer it, I'm walking because my moms care broke down, and she borrowed mine."
"I see, well it's your turn now."
"When did you move here?"
"Two years ago.
"Really? I've never met you or seen you around the neighborhood, and I'm at Riley's like 50% of the time."
"Yah, I tend to stay hidden."
"Ah, well it's your turn."
"Do you have feelings for Riley? I mean you've talked about him alot since we started walking."
"No," she stuttered a bit.
"Really so he wouldn't mind if I did this," he said as they arrived at Riley's doorstep.
Riley POV.
"KC should be here soon, I better go unlock the door." He thought to himself, heading for the door. Riley so what looked like two people on his doorstep, he looked out just in time to see KC kissing the boy whose family moved here two years ago. All he could feel was the pain of his heart slowly breaking.
Pain it's watching the person you love fall for someone else.
