'Again'
It was a cold winter evening,the trees were striped of
all their leaves,so bare exept for the coats of frost glittering over them.
Their was frost all aver the ground too,it seemed to make the city
sparkle in delight for the upcomeing holiday.Not something Mai was looking
forward to!She was taking a little drive for lack of anything better to
do.Mai practically hated christmas,her mother was always away on buissness
trips then,she hadn't seen her father since she was 14,and no other relatives
came to celebrate,she was all alone.but spending time with any of them
probly wouldn't have helped her anyway,she had somone else on her mind,Joey
Wheeler.It was just latly she accepted the fact that she had fallen for
him,she'd fallen HARD!
"Joey Wheeler,why,why,why do I feel this way!?I know why,but
how!?HOW!?"she screamed ,wit tears welling up in her eyes.All she wanted
for christmas was him.She wanted to spend chrismas with someone she loved
deeply,and that was him.
"Grrr"Joey growled throughing a pile of tangled up lights to
the ground.He'd always loved christmas,and this year his mother and sister
were comeing to celebrate with them,he should have been jumping for joy,but
no.There was something,or SOMONE missing!Mai,she sent his whle world spinning,she
drove him crazy!And he loved her so much!There were a few times he almost
told her,but he couldn't.He didn't want to get the wrong reaction.But he
needed her like he needed air!He felt so weak when he couldn't tell her
but it was so hard.Yet she needed to know,he needed to know she knew.Joey
couldn't take it,he decided to go for walk.
Mai started to head back home.A few tears actually escaped her
eyes she whiped them away quickly. She tuned on the radio,the song playing
was Building a mystery by Sarah McLachlan.She listened to the tune flood
through her mind so real,so understandable.She rached home at the end of
the song and got out of her car.Guess who she saw walking her way,yep Joey.
Joey saw Mai and walked up to her,she didn't move one inch,
"Hi Mai!"Joey said smiling while something was eating him inside.
"Hi Joey,what are you doing around here?"
"I was trying to untangle christmas lights and got pissed so
I decided to go for a walk.My mom and sis' are comin' up this year so I
want to make everything perfect!"he looked into the window of her house
then asked,
"Where is your tree Mai,are you jewish or somethin'?"
"No,I just really have no reason to celebrate,my mom isn't here and,dad's
probly with some whore in the bahamas and I don't have any other relatves
coming."She replyed her face dropping.
"Hey,why don't ya celebrate with us,I'm sure my family won't mined!"Joey
couldn't beleive what he just asked!
"I don't know"she said,she so wanted to scream yes so the whole world
could here but knew that really wasn't appropriate.
"Come on,I insist?"
"If it's okay with your family."She felt her heart lift.
"Great!" 'Score one for Wheeler'Joey thought with so much joy
in his heart he could have started floating!He gave her a kiss on the cheak
and started heading home.
Mai touched her cheack lightly and smiled,she didn't even have to send
Santa her list.
