Breath With In
Chapter 10 - Moving Along
Authors note: It just started to snow today :D
Today is a snowy day. It was a weekend filled with something you could only describe as bitterness in the air. I walked outside to see the freshly fallen blanket of snow that lay across the ground. It was as white as yuuki's hair. A smile came across my face as I felt a gentle cold breeze go by my face. Even though this was not christmas yet it felt like a perfect day for it. I walked through the town to the park on the other side. The only thing of note was the robbery, but he was shot dead by the police. As I continued, I made my way to the park and started walking through. The entire place except the paths were covered in white. There were some children I could hear in the distance and they looked like they were having a snowball fight. This brought back memories of my other life. While I didn't have friends I always liked the snow. It reminded me of a friend who I had a long time ago. We were just in elementary school and there was a girl just like yuuki in my universe. When the snow fell we were allowed to play in the snow and me and her always played together. It was cute. However the greatest accomplishment was climbing the huge mountain we dubbed mini everest. It took us a whole 3 recesses to climb the thing. When we finally reached the top we sat down and she lay next to me.
She asked, do you want to climb a mountain?
Yes
Why? she questioned
I dono, I feel it is something my grandpa would have wanted.
This reminded me of my grandfather so I retold the story to her. A long time ago when my grandpa was just out of college he wanted to climb a big mountain. While trying to accomplish it he met my grandmother. That reminded him of a story of when he was younger. When my grandpa was younger he met a famous explorer who was in all of the adventure books. he had done a lot of cool things and he asked him if he could climb a mountain like he did in episode 32 of the book series. And he said yes. So later my grandpa didn't climb the mountain and my father was never interested in climbing the mountain and so when he told me the story I wanted to do what both of them couldn't do. (alternate universe) Yuuki giggled and we sat there till the recess bell rang and we went back inside, but before we left mini everest, she asked if she could go with me and I said yes. I was really sad when I had to move before middle school. I never got to say goodbye to her. If I were still in that world I would of tried to find her now that I was in high school but I never had the time between being smart and studying. Anyways I decided to continue through the park.
