else all you will get is two pennies... sad... Ooh...and some lint... Arisa is MINE
though! And her family!
"Sorry, Miss Arisa, but you parents just died..."
"Oh, from old age, right..." Arisa replied, looking sadly at the tiled floor. She fingered her slim left wrist.
"Yes, they passed away peacefully, don't worry, they were not in pain."
"Oh, yes, that's good. Thank you..."
"You aren't they're daughter are you?"
"Oh! Uh... No, I'm their grand daughter..." Arisa replied, tears coursing down her cheeks at the lie she had to make. She was their daughter, but no way could she tell the doctors that! They'd then want to take tests about her.
"Well, I am very sorry for your loss. Do you have somewhere to stay?"
"Yes... I'll go and stay in our house."
"Well, try and have a nice day," the doctor comforted her, putting a large hand on her shoulder. Arisa nodded as she looked at the doctor's sleepy face. She looked at the clock. It was about 1 am, and she sighed, as she walked out of the hospital, tears flowing down her cheeks in a relentless downpour.
Arisa attempted to stem the flow, but unfortunately, her tears kept flowing. She did her best to wipe them off as she walked down the street, the orb like lights casting an eerie glow on her face as she sighed, looking down at her hands again.
'Why am I crying...? I knew this would happen! Everybody knows humans die, it's just a matter of when, but if it's just that simple, why am I so sad?' she thought to herself, looking to the sky for an answer, but as usual, no answer preceded her plea for help. That's when she saw him.
He was a young boy around fifteen or sixteen, with deep red hair and large green eyes. He was strolling around the street, a sad look on his face.
"Hello, isn't it late for you to be up walking around?" Arisa asked, walking over to him, her long russet colored curls hair falling over one of her shoulders.
"Oh, hello, I'm just having a hard time sleeping..." he replied, trailing off.
"I know what you mean. Do you parents know you're walking around here?" she asked again, placing her hands into her deep jean pockets.
"Actually, I'm up because of my parents..." He trailed off again. A sad look rested on his innocent looking face.
"Hey, c'mere, and sit down. I know I won't be to be much help, but sometimes it helps to talk to someone," Arisa offered, her face looking gently at him, sorrow haunting her eyes. The boy noticed that she had two different colored eyes. One was deep jade green, and the other was a baby blue.
"Okay, I guess it won't hurt," he sighed, looking at her sorrowfully. The two walked over to the nearby bench that was very close to the lake in the park.
"So, then, what's on your mind?" She asked, looking over at him kindly.
"My mother."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid of when she dies. I don't want it to happen..." He replied, his head leaning into his chest.
"All humans die, it's just a matter of when, why, and how. We all have to face that," Arisa replied, her voice was quiet, but it commanded the attention of the small forest. The young man noticed all the noise in the minuscule forest ceased when she spoke though.
"That's just a bit harsh," he noted.
"No, that's life. Life is harsh, trust me, I know. I just came from the hospital. It's nothing more then people on their last leg, and they pitifully cling onto what is left of their lives. There's nothing anyone can really do. That's what's unfair," Arisa responded, looking at him with a sad look on her face.
"But you're wrong! Life isn't just that plain! And the people in the hospital hold onto hope because..."
"Because that's all they have!" Arisa yelled back, tears coursing down her cheeks. The young man looked at her in surprise.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Where was hope when my parents died!" she yelled back. The young man noticed that she seemed to have yelled not at him, but at the sky.
"When did they die?" he asked quietly.
"Today."
"I'm sorry, how?"
"Old age," she replied, her tears running down her cheeks.
"Oh, I'm so sorry..."
"It's no problem. It looks like it's time for me to head off. Let me tell you something. The truth about Eternity... Everyone dies... But no one will ever get used to it, just look at me. I've had a lot of people I love die... They'll all die... You have it easy. Have a nice night..." she replied, her tender voice trailing off as she walked off, her long white jacket trailing behind her. The young boy was left sitting on the bench. The young woman's odd words rang in his ears. He shook his head. What did she mean by a lot of people she's loved have died? He shook his head. He suddenly felt tiered, so he went back to his house, letting himself in silently as he snuck up to his room. He lay down on his bed and drifted off to sleep.
Okay, that's it! I'm sorry! The next chapter will be coming in as soon as I can, and it'll be a lot longer! Please review! I won't write more if you don't review! I'll take anything! Even FLAMES!!! PLEASE?!?!
