Laugh in the rain

by Lovemeparis

We kept screwing up 'till we thought there was no going back. Anyone who messed with the Akatsuki had to be stupid, but I think insane would describe her better..that girl who threw a sneaker at the back of my head. And as corny as it sounds, she was the one who taught us how to laugh in the rain. 54!

40. More Dreams

They say the best way to get over something is to forget it, but forgetting is hard. Even if everything about what youre trying to forget has disappeared when they did. Its been a year since I last thought of that girl,I cant even remember her name. I guess it was because I stopped passing the spot where the old bus stop used to be. But when I was in the cop car my way jail, we passed right by it. The grass is still painfully green, but the holes have been filled up. You can't tell if there ever was a bench. For a fleeting second I wondered if she would pay my bail again, but then I couldn't exactly say who this she was.

Thirty days later, after they let me out, I laid down on the surprisingly warm grass, and fell asleep wondering why the bus stopped coming here. I'm not sure if what I had was a dream or a nightmare, but when I opened my eyes I was laying on the ugly blue bench in the pouring rain.
I'm all alone,in the suffocating darkness,just like I was supposed to be. I was perfectly fine wallowing in sorrow and despair, but all of a sudden two bright lights broke through the mist, headlights on a large highlighted yellow bus. It stopped right at the sign, and the purple door opened up. I wanted to get on but I couldn't move, the bus driver was getting impatient, and was just about to give up on me, just like everyone else. As soon as I could move the doors were already closing, it too late for me. Then the most amazing thing happened, before they completely shut a technicolor-sneaker jammed between the doors, and they opened back up. I started up the stairs, looking at the stranger who helped me, but they were already back into their unknown seat as the bus started moving again. I started looking for them, the bus is speeding so fast it's hard to stand. I only have one seat left to check, but before I got there the person said from the front of the bus "You're gonna trip If you keep looking for me Old man" and got off with a beautiful smile from under their hood.
I hadn't even noticed the bus stopped, but I noticed it leave as I watched the figure got farther and farther away. After another few seconds of going illegal speeds we were back were we started, and as I strode off I finally woke up, back to being all alone and in the dark.
