Rain: Sorry we're a day late. I was sick yesterday
Speechless: And I had to baby-sit her little sister so she could rest.
Rain: We don't own Shugo Chara!
Speechless: To the story.
-Time Skip- (to the walk home)
We walked beside each other, the wind whipping around us. We didn't talk much at first. But someone had to break the silence right? Plus, I was itching to ask Ikuto something.
"Ikuto?" I asked, he looked toward me.
"Yeah?"
"Do you feel alone too?" he seemed shocked by the question but answered anyway.
"Yeah. And you feel alone?" I nodded.
"Yes" I came out kind of quiet, but I'm sure he heard it.
"Why do you feel alone?"
"I can't really say. But I can tell you that I feel trapped" Was my response.
We grew silent. He laced his fingers in mine and gave a reassuring squeeze. The simple gesture made my cheeks burn, my heart race, and made me feel as if he knew exactly why. There was silence until we got to my door.
I gave him a simple smile, and, to my surprise and pleasure, he gave a small smile back. It felt empty when our fingers came free from the grips we had on each other, but he had to leave. He walked down the street and I just stood there for a few minutes, just watching him from the doorstep before sighing and walking inside.
-15 Minutes Later-
I changed into navy blue knee highs, black shorts, a white spaghetti strap, and a blue and pink striped jacket, and flopped on my bed, thinking of today's events.
Sighing heavily I sat up, and ran my fingers through my hair. Glancing around the room I went to my closet and brought out some black, pink, purple, white, green, blue and red paint from the bottom of the closet. Don't ask why I have buckets of paint in there. Seriously don't ask.
I walked down to a spare bedroom with white everything in it. White walls, white bed, white lamp, with bedspread, white curtains, white tiled floors and a white bedside table. Perfect. Reaching into the bedside table, I pulled out multiple paintbrushes and a hair tie.
After tying my hair, opening the paint buckets, washing any paint off the paint brushes, moving aside the furniture, tying the curtains, putting tape so the windows wouldn't get paint on them, putting something down on the floor and pumping up the music to 'She Will Be Loved' by Maroon 5, I set to work.
-3 Hours Later-
By the time I had finished the room was beautifully full. This room proved to be the perfect canvas, because I had a picture on each of the walls, ceiling, and even the floor!
(Which took some extra time because I had to take the furniture out and then make sure I did it at the back of the room and worked my way towards the door)
Let me describe. I painted the days events. On the back wall I painted Ikuto and I on the rooftop. It was us, on the rooftop with the rest of Seiyo in the background, and the wind swirling around us.
On the wall to the left had us on my bike. Him riding behind me as the wind wrapped around us and we sped down the street.
The wall on the right had us doing karaoke, our eyes closed as we sang our feelings to everybody around us. The wall with the doorframe right smack in the middle of it had the wall home, the wind wrapping around us and our fingers intertwined.
On the ceiling it had a simple portrait of myself, in what I had worn just a few hours before, my hair down, and blush on my cheeks. Finally, on the floor, there was a portrait of Ikuto. He had a small smile on his face. Not a smirk, but a true smile.
Content at last, I went into my room, washed off all the paint, slipped into a big shirt and some shorts and fell into a deep sleep.
-Next Day-
"You know that I'm a crazy bitch
I do what I want when I feel like it
All I wanna do is lose control
Oh, oh
But you don't really give a shit
You go with it, go with it, go with it.
'Cause you're fucking crazy rock'n'roll
You said "Hey,
What's your name? "
It took one look
And now I'm not the same
Yeah you said "Hey."
And since that day
You stole my heart
And you're the one to blame
(Yeah)
And that's why I smile
It's been a while
Since every day and everything has
Felt this right
And now you turn it all around
And suddenly you're all I need
The reason why I smile
Last night I blocked out I think
What did you, what did you put in my drink?
I remember making out and then, oh, oh
I woke up with a new tattoo
Your name was on me and my name was on you
I would do it all over again
You said "Hey,
What's your name? "
It took one look
And now I'm not the same
Yeah you said "Hey."
And since that day
You stole my heart
And you're the one to blame
(Yeah)
And that's why I smile
It's been a while
Since every day and everything has
Felt this right
And now you turn it all around
And suddenly you're all I need
The reason why I smile
You know that I'm a crazy bitch
I do what I want when I feel like it
All I wanna do is lose control
You know that I'm a crazy bitch
I do what I want when I feel like it
All I wanna do is lose control
(Yeah)
And that's why I smile
It's been a while
Since every day and everything has
Felt this right
And now you turn it all around
And suddenly you're all I need
The reason why I smile"
The lyrics for 'Smile' by Avril Lavigne echoed through the house as I sang along and made myself breakfast. When I sat down with some homemade pancakes, smiling and finishing the last chorus of the song, the thought hit me.
"When was the last time I was this happy?"
Rain: Hope you guys liked it! If you did than give your thanks to the genius that is Speechless Lady!
Speechless: Thanks Rain. I hope I did a good job!
Rain: You did a great job!
