StarWatcher31: Thanks for the review! I actually have no idea where I'm going with the story, I'm basically taking it one chapter at a time and going with whatever comes to mind. I hope you keep reading and enjoying the story! =)
DegrassiFan125: Thanks a lot! =) I enjoy writing it. =)
Hoarse Swan: hehe I was worried about writing it, but I had to come up with some reason he would cheat on her. Hopefully it doesn't offend anyone. =)
The following are the memories and thoughts of David.
Sitting on a park bench, David was left with memories.
Memories. Images used to rip out his heart. Memories... The one thing God gave us that would haunt us until our deaths. Memories of good. Memories of bad. Memories of what was, or should have been.
Placing his head in his hands he began to cry. The images were getting to be too much. Too much pain, too much laughter. Just too much.
*flashback*
"Come on Lizzie! We're too far behind!" yelled David. Running faster the 9 year old was trying to catch up to their class. They were on a field trip to the local zoo, which was one of the largest zoos in North America.
"I'm coming, but I can't run fast enough!" Lizzie complained, tears starting to brim her eyes. "Can't we just stop for a couple minutes?" They stopped running.
"No!" yelled David in anger. "We already stopped a couple minutes for you so that you could feed the lions, which by the way, is against the rules!" He walked back to get Lizzie.
"I'm sorry." Lizzie's bottom lip trembled. David took her by the hand, and began to pull her by the arm.
"It's okay, but come on. We have to go."
"I'm so tired of running. We'll never find them. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept us back."
"Enough, we have to keep going. We can't give up."
*end flashback*
It's weird. You can laugh at your past, but when your going through something, it seems like the end of the world. Like now. The break-up now seems like the end of the world, but if it all works out, in the future Lizzie and David will look back on it and laugh... maybe.
*flashback*
David pulls back from the kiss. Sparks seem to be going off all around them.
"Wow." they both say. Looking into each others eyes, everything seems to come together. Everything seems so perfect and complete.
"Yeah..." Lizzie blushes. "Well..."
"Yeah..." David replies. "So... what now?" He looks at her with anticipation.
"I don't know..." Lizzie looks back at him and grins. "What would you like to happen now?" She looks at him with such innocence. He leans in and kisses her again.
"I'd like to keep doing that for the rest of our lives." he replies.
*end flashback*
"God, stop torturing me!" David cries. "I wish I never kissed her." His body begins to shake, tears flow like a river down his soft cheeks. "If I just hadn't kissed her." He lays down onto the bench, and just cries. Each cry brings a little more relief to his tired and worn out body.
"David?" asks a soft, familiar voice.
