A/N: sorry for the misunderstanding, I didn't mean that my story has a direct connection with the movie Ghost, I just meant that, after watching it I saw a romantic side to Darry (coz you know how he'd supposed to be all tough, hard working and never has time for fun). Do u know what I mean?

The whole way she didn't speak unless I asked her a question. If I made a comment she would just nod her head and say 'yeah'.
I guess she didn't much feel like talking but I couldn't get myself to shut up.
I started pinching myself every time I got to urge to say something until we got to the park. I started thinking about all those times when the gang and me used to go to the park to cool off if anything ever happened. If Johnny's or Steve's dad got a little drunk and turned on them, we'd all come out here and try to cheer them up. But sometimes I'd come by myself late at night and sit on the edge of the fountain, just to think about life, reflect. I would sneak out of my bedroom window but when I'd come back, it'd be closed but the front door of the house would be opened. I figured dad knew all about it but he didn't seem to mind and he never mentioned it. He was great.
"You want to sit down for a while?" I said to Mira as I sat on the edge of the fountain. She sat next to me and signed.
"You know, I always come here when I need to think or cool off. Watching the water can be relaxing" I didn't really know what I was saying. I meant it but I didn't know if it made sense. She seemed to eat it up.
"Yeah, your right. I love the sound of water. It's so soothing." She said, gently dipping her hand in the water, splashing it around.
It was a miracle! She actually said more than 'yeah'.
After a minute or two of silence, she said "I should come here too" she looked up at me and smiled, "to cool off" she added.
I was finally making progress with her and it made me feel so good.
We got talking. It was so easy after that. She told me why she was crying. She broke up with her boyfriend of two years because he was cheating on her. He said he couldn't take long distant relationships even though she only moved a 2 hour drive from her old town.
"He said he didn't mind a long distance relationship but then he got really weird and stopped calling as much. I knew it was coming, you know, that we'd end it but when it happened I still got upset" she crossed her legs on the edge of the fountain and hunched over the water. "We were supposed to meet up at the drive in but he didn't show. I called him at home. He was making out with what's-her-name" she laughed. I didn't know what to say. Now it was my turn to nod and say 'yeah'.
We headed back to her house, talking and laughing on the way and when we got to her door she said, "Thanks Darry, you made me feel so much better" she was showing her teeth when she smiled this time and her eyes, her eyes were sparkling. She went inside and I headed to my house. I smiled to myself on the way home. I couldn't get her face out of my mind. I had made her happy, made her eyes sparkle. I made a promise to myself then, that I would never let her be sad again.
