Feel
By the time we arrived at our destination,
it was already nighttime.
We checked into a hotel,
tiredly made our way to the room,
and lie down on our beds.
"Man, am I beat."
"Same."
There was a hint of distrust in his voice as he spoke to me.
"Hey Allen...about what happened on the train..."
"It's okay. Just forget it."
There was a hint of concern in his eyes as he looked at me.
I couldn't
and never will
forget.
"No. Listen to me."
I shot up from the bed,
and walked to him.
Fear was reflected off of those gray eyes.
He backed up.
Taking him into my arms,
I could finally feel him.
He was there.
He was real.
He couldn't escape,
couldn't reject,
couldn't deny.
He wasn't running
I could finally reach him.
"There are times when I feel as if one day you're going to disappear from my life... as if, in the blink of an eye, you'll vanish completely... Please just let me hold onto you for a little while longer. I need to know this is real."
And hearing his heart race made it all the better.
This is Allen Walker.
This is the boy I
fear
love
hate
want
need
crave
desire
loathe
forget
disgust
remember.
He is mine,
my fallen star.
And yet,
he still manages to shine the brightest
out of all of the stars
that are still alive.
I am quite satisfied with this chapter. The rough draft was atrocious! I'm so glad I took the time to change it. If I hadn't, it would have been pointless dialogue. Things would have been quite tedious.
I'm so happy that a lot more people started to read the story. I'm getting a lot of reviews too. It makes me very happy.
