Amy was sitting in the library staring out the window twirling her pencil deep in thought, a few feet away from her was Laynie who was chatting to Bright and Ephram, Thalia scanned the library for an empty table but there was none, it was now or never. Making her way over to them, Laynie looked up and gestured towards Thalia, both Bright and Ephram turned around and stared at her, she glared back. She walked behind Amy and tapped her on the shoulder. Amy jumped and snapped out of her thoughts, when she saw Thalia she didn't glare or scowl, she smiled.
"I need to talk to you," Thalia said, "Without an audiance"
Amy nodded and followed Thalia out of the library, the rest of them looked at each-other then continued talking. Thalia sat down on a bench outside and Amy followed pursuit. They sat there for a few minutes and just stared at there hands, breaking the silence Thalia cleared her throat.
"I'm not going to go on that date with Tommy,"
"Oh really, well that's good"
"Yeah, he called last night after I got home, said he was sorry about what he did, he didn't even want to start a relationship with me or anything. He actually wanted to know how you have been?"
Amy raised her eyebrows, "Me? Why?"
"He said he made a mistake dumping you and he'd been regretting it for awhile, he just thought by getting rid of him, you could patch things up with your family, he kinda thought he was the reason why you hadn't already"
"Oh, wow, and he said all this to you?"
"Yeah, at first it was confusing because, hell I didn't know your history, but he explained in detail and umm it kind of makes sense now"
"Really, god, what and he thinks by coming back, we could start over"
"No, actually he just wanted you to know, he's leaving to go live with some friends in Denver tomorrow.."
"What," Amy exclaimed, staring at the ground. Thalia stood up suddenly and Amy followed her actions with her eyes.
"He spoke of you, like you were something he couldn't live without. He told me stories of what it was like for him to grow up, how everyone saw him as this big criminal and all you saw him as was, Tommy Callahan, the guy that you were falling in love with," She explained, "I believe there is one person for us all. Someone who will always be there, no matter what, it takes time to realise that and it takes time to know what you want from life, I know about your history with Ephram and I know about your history with Tommy, it's you who has to choose, don't think about the effect you'll have on them, think about the effect you'll have on yourself, if you pick the wrong one out of guilt, they both will get over it, sometimes shit happens and then life goes on. They both know that, because they both have lived it, we all have. Think about it, okay. Tommy leaves at lunch time tomorrow, he gave me this to give to you"
Thalia handed her a letter that said, Amy, on it. Amy grabbed it and watched Thalia walk away. She knew Amy needed to think about this and the outcome wasn't gonna be great, whether she picked Tommy or Ephram, one of them will end the week with a broken heart.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
To clear the air after Thalia wen't off with Amy, Bright decided to go to were the kissing bridge use to be, it was a nice place, were he could remember everything of the past because the place was of the past, no-one ever came him now there was no bridge to play on.
"I thought you would be here," A familiar voice said behind him, he turned around to see Thalia. "Ephram said you wen't somewhere to and I quote "releash on your stupid and worthless existence,"
They both laughed as Thalia tried to impersonate Bright but sounded retarded, "I don't think it's worthless or stupid,"
"Yeah well your not me, are you?" Bright asked, looking back to where the bridge use to be. Thalia sighed and followed his gaze, after a while of standing in a comfortable silence, Bright found his voice.
"Why are you here?" He questioned, looking down at her.
"I wanted to make things right between us, amoung other reasons,"
"Whice are?"
"Your too hot to let go off so easily," She said smirking, Bright blushed and looked away.
"The world is so unpredictable, isn't it" She began, "Look at the trees, today the wind is making the trees wave South, tomorrow they could be waving towards the North. The water is flowing downstream tomorrow it could be upstream. You never know what going to happen tomorrow, you could be here today and gone the next. You can wake up to find out that someone you loved just died and you never got a chance to reright the mistakes of the past."
She stopped for a second obviously thinking of what to say next, by the way she looked, there was too much on her shoulders and she didn't want to scare anyone away with all her confessions, espiacially him. Bright watched her face as her thoughts collided, she was staring at nothing. Bright loved the way she would get lost in the moment, when she opened up her mind she didn't care who heard it she just concentrated on what she was saying, she sighed again and looked at him, he cleared his mind to hear what she had to say.
"I once had this friend who said that "To live life well, to be proud of yourself, you must dream during the day and live reality at night" Meaning during your sleep you can dream of all the things wrong in your life, but during the day you can live your life to the fullest, get out there and do the things that you dreamed of doing as a child and don't let anyone step in your way. I came here because I wanted a change, I wanted a new surrounding, new people who could see me as the real me and not as someone I pretended to be for years, unlike most people I knew in LA they acted the way there peers saw them to be. If you looked tough, you'd act tough, like cliques, after Davie died I vowed to do everything I ever wanted to do, if I had an urge to do something spontanous I would, like if I wanted to kiss you, right here right now, I would."
"But you don't?"
"I never said that," Thalia smiled and then she kissed him just like she said she wanted to. When she broke the kiss, she wen't and sat down on the bench, Bright followed her.
"So, whats happening with Tommy"
"He's leaving to go live with some friends, unless Amy gives him a reason not to,"
"What," Bright said jumping up.
"Sit down, Bright." He obeyed.
"What about Ephram?"
"I don't know, it's up to Amy what she does, it's not my life,".
Bright nodded, "And what about us, are you willing to give it one more go, even though the other night was the worst date of your life,"
Thalia smiled and nodded.
"I didn't kiss you because you look good,"
Again Bright blushed.
