Something Important/POV

New Place


At Ravens House. Halloween Night. Ravens POV Rae is 9 years old

I was at home on Halloween night with my parents. I was helping them give out candy. I didn't feel like trick-or-treating so I helped them instead. But I still wore a costume. Mine was just a plain purple cape, with a leotard, and a belt. I wore my black sneakers to finish it off. As the next group of kids came up. I noticed a boy come up with his mom. I watched him walk down the driveway. I looked at his costume. He was dressed as a superhero. Robin by the looks of it. Unlike most of the costumes I'd seen tonight though, his was a lot looser. I wonder why.

I met gods will on a halloween night

He was dressed as a bag of leaves

It hid the braces on his legs at first

As he walked up to the house, I noticed him holding a cane, and became more confused. Robin doesn't use a cane, so why is he? Then I saw it. Braces. He had braces. I felt so bad for him. The costume was loose so that they wouldn't get stuck. And his mom was helping him out because he couldn't do it all on his own.

His smile was as bright as the August sun

When he looked at me

As he struggled down the driveway

It almost made me hurt

He smiled when he saw me. I felt a small blush spread throughout my face. How could he smile even though he had braces? I'm happy he did though. Love life while you can. Or at least that's what mommy says. As he struggled down to get his candy, it hurt me a little that this could happen to anyone. I smiled when he made it and gave him a little more candy than I did to the other kids. He looked happy. He introduced himself as Robin. I smiled at the irony of being called Robin and then dressing up as him. He seemed to know what I was thinking, cause he started to laugh a little, then said he knew about the irony. His mom and my parents were talking while watching us talk. It was fun. Instead of going back to trick-or-treating they stayed and talked with us all night.

"Come on Robin, its time to go home." His mom said finally. We both pouted. "Don't worry we'll be back tomorrow." We both brightened up at that. I said goodnight and kissed his cheek. He did the same to me. In the end we were both blushing. I went to bed praying he'd get better.

Will don't walk to good

Will don't talk to good

He won't do the things that the other kids do in the neighborhood

He can't play sports with me, but I don't care. He's my friend and we spend lots of time together anyway. We color, sing, do homework, well everything together. He doesn't let his legs get in the way of anything. In a way I look up to him for that. to keep going, and never giving up.

I've been searching, wondering, thinking

Lost and looking all my life

I've been wounded, jaded, loved, and hated

I've felt so wrong and right

Mom always said that we were put on Earth to look for Gods will. I think I found him, funny how some people look their entire lives and I found him without even trying. I'm loved by gods love I guess. Cause he said he loved me. I knew we would be family forever. Since thats what he meant. (A/N They act like family right now ok?)

He was boy without a father

And his mother's miracle

I've been reading, writing, praying, fighting

I guess I would be still

Yeah that was until

I knew gods will

He didn't know his dad. I wish I knew why, but his mom would never tell us anything. I read, write, fight, and pray for him. I read him stories and he reads to me. I write stories about weird spontaneous adventures, and he loves them. He doesn't judge. I fight against the kids the are mean to him behind his back. I pray for him to get better every night and day.

Will's mom had to work two jobs

I'd watch him when she had to work late

And we'd all laugh like I haven't laughed

Since I don't know when

Robins mom worked two jobs. To pay her car and house bills. My parents would bring him over and we'd have a sleep over. I would always laugh when he was over or around me. Its like he knew exactly how to make me smile and laugh, when others didn't. Mom says I never really smiled before I met Robin. I guess its true.

Hey Jude was his favorite song

At dinner he'd ask to pray

And he'd pray for everyone in the world

But him

I knew everything about him. For example his favorite song was 'Hey Jude' and everytime he stayed for dinner, he would want to pray. Then he'd pray for everyone around him, but himself. He prayed for people he didn't know, people he did know, the world, and nature. I knew he thought that he was just another person, but he wasn't he was gods will.

I've been searching, wondering, thinking

Lost and looking all my life

I've been wounded, jaded, loved, and hated

I've felt so wrong and right

He was boy without a father

And his mother's miracle

I thought about my life and Robins. Our lives were completely different. Yet, we were the bestest friend in the entire world. He had been crippled, while I've barely ever gotten hurt before. How was that fair? I guess thats why they say 'Life isn't fair' but still...

I've been reading, writing, praying, fighting

I guess I would be still

Yeah that was until

I knew gods will

I wonder what I'd be doing if I never knew Robin. I'd probably still have no friends and have gotten in trouble a lot. I would have been my lonely, quiet self. Robin liked that about me though, and that was sweet of him to. I hoped he would never leave.

Before they moved to California

His mother said they didn't think he'd live

And she said "Each day that I had him

Well, just another gift"

They had to move, about an hours drive. But it was still far away to me. To far from my best friend. Sure we could call each other, skype, text, and write. But it wouldn't be the same. His mom said that they were so happy to meet us. But I ignored her and hugged my best friend. He hugged me back holding me just as tight. Neither of us wanting to ever let go.

And I never got to tell her

That the boy showed me the truth

In crayon red on notebook paper

He'd written

I would never be able to tell her, that he showed me something far better than anything in the world. True friendship, love, and faith. As we pulled away from our hug, I gave him a drawing of the both of us. I told him it was to remember me by. He smiled at me. His August sun smile. He put it in his pocket. And took out his own drawing. He drew himself and me, in a meadow. But what touched me the most was not the picture, but what he wrote. 'God loves you, and I do to. Never give up hope, friendship, or love. Because even if I'm far away or near by, I'll always love you. And I'll always be with you.' I let a few tears slip and I smiled at him again. I hugged him again for the sweetest words I'd ever read. I also kissed his cheek, just like I did when we first met.

Me and God love you

I've been searching, praying, wounded, jaded

I guess I would be still

He pulled away and kissed my forehead. I watched him, sadly, say goodbye to me and my family. I pray to see him again. And for some strange reason I know I will. I watched and helped him get into the car. Hugged him one last time and then closed the door. I stood back and watched his mom get in.

Yeah that was until

I met gods will on a Halloween night

He was dressed as a bag of leaves

I watched them leave. I watched him let some tears fall. And I let my own be free. I would see him again, because if god put his own will into my life once, then he would do it again. I would remember my first friend, who I met on Halloween. He was dressed as his name. And became a hero to me. So, goodbye for now. My friend. My Robin. My hero. And gods will.
