The morning sun rose, as did I. I knew it was to early to be getting up(I could tell because of my sleeping cabin mates), didn't really matter, 'tho. Groggy and nasty feeling, I yawned and sat up. I had to take a shower.
Towel in hand, soap in the other, I made my way down to the showers. Five minute walk, mainly 'cause I stopped by to kick something. Somethings. Guess it's been just apart of me to be loud, selfish, and a jerk. Gets kind of… lonely… guess that's where he comes in… just like me…
I stood there in the shower, pondering my thoughts for a while. Thoughts of him. The cold water reminded me of his cold blood. It made me giggle with excitement.
The water shut off, fully dressed, and standing in front of the mirror. My hairs much longer when it's not dry. Not pondering it for long, I grabbed my curler and did my regular routine. Just doing it earlier than usual. Usually, Patsy and Nina would be running their mouths 'till they broke. Of course, I'd have to talk back. I rarely ever have time to think like this… I swear, a girl can never get some alone time.
Done, I walked out to the deck. It's beautiful about this time. There's only been one time when I've seen this view before… I remember it well… happened about three years ago when my parents got into a bad accident… heh… didn't know how to swim back then, ether…
Three Years Ago
Tears streaming down her cheek, crying nonstop. "Mommy… Daddy…" Gretchen sat on the edge of the Acorn Flats dock, "Don't d-die… or else… or else…" she sobbed on and on, she just couldn't stop. It's a hard burden for a nine year old. Her parents were about to die. "Please don't die… or… or else I-I'll join you t-two…" Knees to her chest, she rubbed her eyes to stop the tears flow, but to no avail. But then she stopped. "I'll join you two…" looking down in the water, she saw her face. Puffy and red she stood, "Join…" and then she started falling.
"Hey! Missy!" she stopped, did someone just called to her? She shook it off and gave it no attention. "Hey! I'm talkin' to you! What're ya? Deaf?" She turned at this. Her vision was blurred by the tears, but she saw the figure of a boy her age. "A… duck?" "What? No! I'm a Plata…plata…ummm…" "Platapus?" "Yea! That! Now anyways, what the heck were you doing?" 'Muh… My mommy and daddy are dying… an… and I'm g-gonna join them! S-so don't tuh try to- to stop me!" Gretchen started to back up and then she fell. Further and further, until the darkness consumed her.
'Light…?' She sat up. "Is this… Heaven?" "No, you dumbbell, this is Acorn Flats." Shock, and confusion caused her to cough up water. "But… I fell… I should've died." "Well, you would've if I hadn't saved your skin." "You idiot! I was about to be with my Mommy and Daddy! They might die! I can't be with them no-" at that moment, a fist made contact with the scalp of her head. Hardly. "Owww…" Grasping her head in pain, she shot a glare at him, "What was that-" "Who's the idiot here?! Me, or the girl who almost killed herself 'cause her stupid parents might die! And what if they hadn't? Then what?!" Gretchen sat there in complete shock, happiness in her veins, she stood up and pointed a finger at the Duck. Platypus. Thing. "You are, 'cause Gretchen is no idiot, Idiot!" He stood in response, "No way! Edward is no idiot, so you're the idiot!"
"You are!"
"You are!!"
"You are!!!"
"YOU ARE!!!!"
Panting, they tackled each other and started beating each other up. 'So his name is Edward, huh?' as she hide her happy face with anger as their wrestling continued, as the sun painted the sky orange, red, and yellow.
Back in the Present
She chuckled under her breath. Didn't know Nina or Patsy back then. Back then; Edward was the only one who comforted me. 'Course, nobody would know that.
At least, nobody but me.
XOXO
MY SECOND CHAPTER! COMPLETED! Now, please, all reviews welcomed. Even the occasional bad one is wanted. But please, tell me what you did or didn't like. I want to make this the best it could possibly be!
Well, Gretchen was rather the dark nine year old. Added for a good way to show how they met. But, seriously, this chapter was much too dark. Next chapter had better be funnier, or else .
Well, this chapter is actually pretty interesting. Before, I thought of making it, Gretchen's Fatalistic. Now, it's Nobody but Me. I just felt it fit better. Well, what do you think? Until next chapter!
-M.L.
P.S. What do you like better for a shorter name for EdwardXGretchen? Edchen or Gretward? I can't decide…
