I'm sitting outside this movie theater, watching the sunset. The sky is filled with amazing hues of pinks and oranges. As if a giant fire were lit in the clouds. There are strangely, a very few amount of people here right now, making me feel like the bench I'm sitting on is some desolate isle.
My watch reads 6:53. While I'm reading the time, a droplet of water crash lands on the face of my watch and I look up. I feel a wet spot smack into the tip of my nose which I wipe off.
Looking at the ground I see more and more rapid rain fall, so i decide to move to a more dry spot underneath the marquee.
6:56. The show starts in fourteen minutes, and still no Kendra. I hope she's okay.
6:58. And now its beginning to poor. Hope they weren't planning on walking. There's a sharp crack and a rumble as a lightning bolt strikes the earth nearby.
When it's 7:01 she finally walks up, shivering and alone. Soaked. Her mascara bleeding down her face in black tears. I can't tell from her shivering and her being drenched, but I think she's crying.
With no warning at all, she dives into my arms and hugs me, and I a muffled sob come from her. My arms wrap around her as I hold her.
What happened Kendra? Are you okay?
Through tears she manages to tell me that Jack broke up with her for some government chick.
He told me she was more beautiful then me and that she was more fun and richer. That prick even said she was better in bed.
And I hug her tight again, wishing I could do something to make her feel better.
Let's just go see this movie, you and me. Like we originally planned it. I hold her face in my hands and smile as I look into her minty green eyes bleeding a black sap. I'll pay for you and get you any candy or anything you want.
I just want to see this movie and forget all about jerk-off Jack.
We walk into the theater and it's almost as desolate as outside. Only the people working. My arm around Kendra, I hand our tickets over and they tear them, telling us it's showing in theater three.
We go in to sit down, and there's yet again nobody around.
Find where you want to sit, and I'll be right back okay?
She nods and I leave her alone to get us some drinks and some napkins. Then I go back into the theater and see her holding her head in her hands, shaking as I can hear her crying some more.
Hey um. I got you a drink. And I hand her the cup.
She takes a little sip. You got my favorite.
Yeah. I was hoping that it would cheer you up a bit. Here's a napkin too, if you need to blow your nose.
And she does, blowing her nose into the paper, rolling it into a ball, and heaving it into the darkness. Then she looks at me.
I look ugly don't I? she says to me, black tears still on her face, her hair wet and clinging to her skin, the whites of her eyes red.
Far from it Kendra. You look as beautiful as always. I take another napkin and wipe the black from her face, revealing soft white skin beneath. The previews begin to play and I comb my fingers through her hair, taking off my necklace to tie her hair behind her head in a tail. Our eyes connect, and she flashes me a quick smile, which i give back.
You're always so nice to me Kyle. She lays her head on my shoulder and watches the screen. Why is that?
I put my arm around her, and hug her close to me.
Because you're my friend. And I love you.
I love you too Kyle.
Then the movie starts, and for the rest of the night, she doesn't cry anymore.
