You're The Best Thing I Never Knew I Needed
1. Prologue
Rain droplets poured heavily upon the roofs of Middleton one stormy Friday night. Branches sway through the treacherous movement of the wind gushing in all directions. The quaint little suburb somewhere in Colorado looked like a ghost town as police cars, fire trucks and ambulances were the only vehicles moving along the streets.
"The stormy weather Middleton experiences can last up to thirty-six hours. Citizens are advised to stay indoors and seek shelter. Schools and work around the said area is suspended until weather improves." The anchorman announced.
"Yes! No school today. The storm's still strong since last night and there's no sign of it to weather away. Who in his/her right mind wanted to go to class in the middle of nature's wrath?" One blond-haired teen thought.
The boy is lying on his bed, staring at the window while his TV is still on. The room was dark and messy. The lights were turned off and things are scattered everywhere. His closet is cluttered with dirty clothes and the floor looked like a landfill. There were Diablo sauce sachets, his special assignments his teacher, Mr. Barkin, always give him, used comic books and all the other things that's 'Ron-ish' to anyone's eyes.
But the real mess were the things inside is head. As he still stare at the window, waves and waves of thoughts smash on his head. The environment surrounding him became oblivion to him as he asked the question over and over.
"Why? Why not me?"
He remained in that position for fifteen minutes until a flash of bright light beamed across the room. It was shortly followed by a loud boom. He, together with his naked mole rat, suddenly jumped out of the bed and screamed. "AAAAAAAAHHH!"
He then turned to his pet, who is now on top of his bed, smiled weakly and softly said, "That lightning scared the hell out of us, eh?"
Rufus nodded.
He carefully placed him inside a drawer that became Rufus' bed and just stared at him.
"What's the matter with you?" Rufus finally squeaked.
"Uhm. Nothing. It's getting late now and I think it would be best to sleep now. Maybe tomorrow the storm's over. We may go to Bueno Nacho then." Ron answered.
"Yeah! CHEESE!" Rufus squealed in delight.
"That's right buddy. Let's sleep now. Goodnight Rufus" Ron said pulling himself back to the bed and turning the lamp at the top of the desk off.
"Goodnight." Rufus said in slumber.
Rufus entered the dream world easily while his owner and friend hardly tried to keep his eyes closed. He still thinks about a certain teen girl. He really did love her but he's scared of telling her his feelings. He still sees her big, sparkling, emerald eyes filled with happiness. She was breathtakingly beautiful with her long red auburn hair. He knew he is falling in love to her but there's a catch. She's dating someone else. And what make things worse for him is that it seems like they are going steady. He's in great pain inside even on the mere sight of the two making out. To add insult to the injury, their 'indestructible' friendship gradually weathered.
"If I only seen the signs. She's changed. Face it."
"No! She's not."
"Don't deny it, She LOVES him. Accept it."
"She doesn't love him! It was only a mere crush. Like Josh Mankey."
"Look at it this way. Did Mankey interfere with your friendship with her? No. Did Josh been a reason for cancelling 'Ron Nights'? I'm afraid not also. Did he put strain to your bond? Hmm. Maybe a little. But still, that did not change right? Why? Because it's only some mere crush. Listen, this Jonathan guy did all that. Monkey Boy didn't. She's madly in love with her and you can't compete with him."
"N-No..."
"Face it, Stoppable. She loves him. That's pure cold TRUTH."
"NOOOO!"
"NOOOO!" He shouted, suddenly sitting up from his bed.
Rufus suddenly wakes up and glared at Ron. He said "What's the problem?"
"Nothing. Just some bad dream. Let's sleep now okay?" Ron responded.
He then lay back again and turn to a fetal position. He was facing his desk. On top was the lamp and a frame. It shows a picture of a preteen blond boy and a redhead girl having that laugh with youthful abandon. He then remembers everything that they went through. A sense of nostalgia crept inside of him as tears started brimming inside those chocolate eves.
"Thirteen years of friendship. All but withered away because of love. Wish we stayed as kids. Life is simpler back then." Ron thought tearfully.
He then find his inner peace and drift off to sleep. Despite the loud howling of the wind, the torrential downpour of the rain, flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunders, the storm can't destroy even a fraction of what he felt inside. Sadness and Despair reigned over his heart. But in God's grace, he found himself sleeping, abandoning all thoughts of problems he has in this world. At least for now, he felt better.
Edit (May 18 '14): Yepp, I'm starting to rewrite the whole thing since I've found out that there's tonnes of errors. Do not worry, though. I'm still working for the newest chapter. :)
