They were walking around the park together late that afternoon, as Seth felt he'd shown her the best parts of the town-the comic book store really was huge. She'd also noticed some really cute boutiques, which she had made a mental note to check out later.
Coming back to the preset. Marissa gazed around the park. It was, late afternoon, just before the sun would start setting, the sunrays reflected off objects, bouncing around. It really was beautiful.
"So…what do you think, its pretty nice, right?"
"Yeah its beautiful. - Thanks for hanging out with me this afternoon; I really needed a friend". She went to sit down on a bench facing the river, watching the sunrays dance on the water's surface.
Seth came over and sat down next to her, looking across the river at the people on the other side; then over to the girl next to him.
"Are you OK Marissa…really?"
"Err; I'm great, why. What do you mean, like now?" She tried feigning ignorance but knew exactly what he meant; she knew he'd seen her, around school, down on the beach and other places crying; or with swollen, red eyes from crying. One time over the summer he'd caught her, alone in the afternoon taking swigs straight from a vodka bottle. She'd only seen him turn around and skate off, but she knew he'd seen.
"You know what I mean, and even though we haven't really spoken in, like, forever; i've seen you around and i've been really worried about you." He paused before continuing. He had to choose his words very carefully, or else he could really mess things up.
" I know I wasn't around, but I herd what happened the first time… the first time he left; over the summer. And…well I saw it the second time. Well while we're doing this, I also saw you and sum-moving on, blocking us two out. It really hurt. Sorry i'm saying all this, it doesn't sound like me at all; but I know you haven't been happy for a while and I wondered if you wanted to talk about it. It might help us, both you know.
I mean we're starting this whole new thing, which is, like really big; and we should both get the chance to move on, I mean really move on. What do you think?"
Marissa had been completely thrown by that; she hadn't expected it at all, and especially not from Seth. He was right; some of him really had changed, grown up. She wasn't quite sure how to respond to that. Her brain was buzzing and sending her so many signals and emotions she didn't know what to do. Parts of her were screaming out in anger, others embarrassed as she finally realised what she'd really been acting like recently and some more defending her. So many thoughts were trapped inside her she thought she would explode if she didn't let them out soon enough.
She faced Seth and felt a lump in her throat, just like earlier, when she had heard that song. Her eyes began to glaze over.
"Can we talk…please." She managed as tears began again to tumble over her eyes.
"Sure Marissa" he replied, uneasily, he wasn't really sure what to do about the crying girl sitting next to him, how should he react.
Finally instinct took over as he placed his arm around her and pulled her in for a hug.
The two sat like that for what seemed an eternity. Frozen in time until the sun had completely disappeared behind the buildings across the river.
