Her Favorite Color- chapter 9
I hadn't been running that far, but I could already feel the muscles in my legs getting weaker and weaker with each step that I took. I was having an emotional breakdown, and I wasn't afraid to admit it. Tai's voice kept echoing in my head, just like it had five years ago. He was calling for me to come back, but still my legs took me farther and farther away.
I wasn't sure why I ran from him, still not, but while I was running I had the most painful feeling in my chest. Throughout my entire body really. I wanted to see Tai more than anything in the entire world. I had ached for his presence, for his touch, and for his smile constantly, and now that I found him, I became a coward, and fleeted. You must think that I'm crazy, and I have been known to act a little out of the norm, but my heart was telling me that in the bookstore was not the place to reunited my self with the only person I had ever been in love with.
I stopped abruptly, completely out of breath. I wasn't sure where I was and I knew instantly that running away was not only a stupid way to act upon my feelings, but it was also extremely unsafe. I looked around, and to my surprise, I found myself in the middle of a playground. I had run into a park without taking notice. People were looking at me and suddenly I felt very foolish, running around like an idiot. What a way to make an impression on my new home. Around me were all different types of playground sets, monkey bars, swings, and the seesaw. There were a number of abandoned toys on the grass and in the sandbox, too. But there was only one thing that really caught my eye.
The slide. It stood in the corner of the playground, all by itself. There were weeds and shrubs growing all around it. They way the moon light shimmered off of it's silvery surface broke my heart. It looked so beautiful, even though it was apparent that hadn't been played on in quite a while. The steps to the top of the slide were rusted and rungs were skeletal looking, falling to pieces. I smiled sadly as I took my seat at the bottom of the slide.
I reached back into the depths of my memory to recall the moment I first met Tai. I found it easily and it seemed as though it only happened yesterday. I was lonely and none of the other kids would play with me. I never had any friends before Tai, and I've never had a friend like him since. I was almost to the point of tears when I felt a soccer ball roll between my feet. Slightly confused, I looked up to see where the ball had come from. There was a game of soccer going on in the field in front of me, but surely those boys wouldn't ask me to play with them. I was met with a pair if intense brown eyes.
Those eyes had held so emotion.
They looked into me, and I knew that this boy was not like the others. I knew that he cared from the beginning. And before I knew it, he took me by the hand and ran with me to a small space of grass, leaving his friends, where he taught me the joys of soccer, and the joys of friendship. Tai is everything to me, and I couldn't run away from him.
Just as I was about to get up and attempt to find my way back to the bookstore, I heard a very familiar sound, and seconds later, a soccer ball rolled between my feet.
~That was really really short, but that's all that I could write! I'm glad that I got that finished, because now I have more ideas to help with what will most likely be the last chapter…….Stay tuned for Chapter ten!~
