Srry bout all the time skips... I didnt want to make this tht long
The journey was long and quiet. When the boy and the little birdie got closer, the boy asked her a question.
"Can you tell me your story?"
"I can't believe the school is already almost ending. Time flies by so quickly." Shade said as he sat next to Rein. But Rein didn't say anything, as usual. "Well, you still haven't changed from when I first met." Shade glanced at her, she was holding her book tighter than usual. "Rein?"
"Oh, um sorry. I wasn't listening." Rein said as she loosened her grip on the book. Shade looked at her, a little bit worried.
"Rein, how come you never smile?" Shade asked as he looked at her. Rein placed the book on the ground and stared at it.
"It hurts." Rein replied. "It hurts to smile." Shade looked at her, shocked at her answer. But before he said anything else, Rein passed him the book and motioned him to open it. Shade took the cover and opened it, revealing dozens of faded pictures of various people.
"This isn't a book?" Shade asked as he flipped through the pages.
"No. It was never a book. Before I met you, this book was only filled with blank pages and heavily worn down pictures." Rein said as she stared at the book sadly. "Even my memory was only bits and pieces. I could only remember these strangers that I didn't know." Shade continued to flip until he reached a certain page where the pictures looked like they had been burned at the edges. "But when I finally remembered my name... That's when I finally remembered everything." Shade looked at her and realized that she had tears streaming down her face.
"What... happened?" Shade carefully asked as he stopped at a page where almost the entire picture was burnt.
"It was my sister's and my birthday." She said slowly. "We invited all of our friends over. Everything was going great. Our parents had baked a cake, the presents we got were amazing. Everyone was having fun. But then..." Rein's voice started to tremble and more tears fell off her face. "I don't know how it happened but..." She put her hands on her face to wipe away the tears but they didn't stop. "Our curtains caught on fire. And before any of us knew it, the house... was engulfed in flames... None of us made it out..." Then she paused. The wind picked up and blew the photo album close.
"All of them left me behind... I was the only one... who remained on Earth..."
They're just getting shorter and shorter... Well this was technically two parts. Anywayz plz review!
