She was walking home, perfect. I smiled and walked next to her, remembering. I stopped, "Why can't you just see me? You used to." She kept walking, not even noticing I was there. Well, now or never, I flew by her, snowflakes following behind. Her hair blew in front of her face and she looked around, watching the snow flakes fall. A huge smile spread across her face.
I would have stayed, but I had work to do. By tonight this town would be covered.
When I finished I went to look for Alex again. She was in the park with her friends. "You going to Brad's party tonight?" Party?
"I don't know, maybe."
"Come on Alex, you know he'd want you to be there."
"I don't need to be with my boyfriend 24/7,"My mouth hung open, "I'm my own person."
"You need live a little."
"Shut up!" she said throwing a snowball at her friend.
"Well are you gonna go or not?"
"Fine, let's go." Yeah, let's go. I wanted to see who this Brad guy was.
*Later, at the party.
I decided to get it snowing now, so Brad's party would have to end early. When I found the party, I quickly spotted Alex. She was stunning. She was wearing a blue, strapless dress that went to her knees and a necklace with a snowflake charm down the middle with two little ones on both sides. I smiled at her outfit choice. She walked over to some guy that I assumed was Brad. I couldn't hear what she was saying, but she stormed outside after.
"I don't need you telling me what to do," Alex shouted at the door. "Who needs you? I never really even liked you." She scooped up some snow and threw it unknowingly in my direction. "You just wouldn't give up so I said yes. This is so…ugh!" she sat down in the snow, hugging her knees to her chest.
I sat down next to her, and wanted to reached out for her. She looked so beautiful in the snow, Oh crap she'll freeze out here! And just like that the storm was over. I wish I could do something. She doesn't need a guy like him. Alex looked up, noticing the snow stopped falling and lay down. Her eyes were blotchy and tears were falling down her cheeks. I couldn't help myself, but I reached out and wiped her tears away. She lifted her head up, noticing the tears were gone.
You know those moments where all you can think is "Please don't see me, please don't see me, please don't see me?" Well I wanted her to see me. We stayed like this for a minute. The Earth seemed to move around us.
"Jack?"
