Haven't touched this in forever, have I? Sorry about that. Pleasedon'thateme!
Anyway: Chapter 1. AKA the conclusion to His Hands Her Bullet.
It was a rather simple day. My best friend and I got bored, so we went and did the obvious thing: Went looking for something to do. We found some trainers wanting to, well, train, so we battled them in a double battle. We won. I went to give my friend and battle partner a high five, and she…flinched.
Briana Dragonois, my fearless best friend, flinched when I went to give her a high five. Warning bells went off in my head.
"You okay, Bria?" I asked cautiously. She looked at me blankly. "You just flinched. I went to give you a high five. You looked like you though I was about to hit you or something." She shook her head and smiled at me.
"Of course I'm okay. I didn't flinch. Silly Ash, you must be imagining things," Bria said, still smiling. I looked at her, attempting to see whether or not she was lying. But I'm not good with seeing this kind of stuff, so eventually I gave up. I simply nodded, knowing that if I tried to pry she'd shut me out even more.
"Alright then," I said slowly, my brown eyes searching her blue orbs one last time before turning away. "I'll see you later, I guess," I said. She usually went to New Bark to spend time with her boyfriend. That guy doesn't seem right, but I shouldn't care as long she's happy, right?
Right?
Briana nodded. "See you later," she said, walking away.
Little did I know how soon "later" would be.
My mom was out that night, so I had the house to myself. It was raining like nobody's business, thunder booming and lightning flashing every once in a while. This made me wonder, "Can lightning really only strike in one place once?"
I was about to go to sleep when I realized it was one o'clock in the morning. But, of course, someone knocked on my door.
"Who the hell is outside knocking at this time of night?" I thought, opening the door. I was shocked to see who was out of their minds tonight.
Briana.
She was kneeling on my porch, soaked, breathing heavily and sobbing. "Bria?" I asked quietly. I was only met with more sobs. I knelt down; bring her face up to meet mine.
Oh yes, she had definitely been crying.
I led her into the house, trying to keep her calm. I realized I was basically dragging her through the door, not really leading her. I set her down on the couch gently, trying to no avail to stop her tears. She calmed down after, a while, and finally said something to me.
"Nothing's alright."
Y"know how I said this was the conclusion? Yeah, I lied. There's going to be more. Not much more, but more. Why? Because I felt like it. I'm just awesome like that. Now, please review. That'd be nice. Just click that button that says review. Yes, that one. The one your mouse better be hovering over.
