Chapter 6
Alice and I continued lying in our meadow until the sun begun to set. Even then we were reluctant to move from our spot.
The feel of her soft warm body in my arms was like nothing I had ever experienced before and the idea of it ending was simply heartbreaking.
Despite my reluctance, with the sun setting the temperature had begun to lower and I could feel my angel begin to shiver.
With a small kiss on her head I pulled myself and my angel up but and quickly took off my sweatshirt and handed it to her.
We quickly made our way back to the school never letting go of our hands which were clasped tightly between us.
Once we reached the parking lot, I was overcome with sadness as not being able to keep my angel with me, she looked absolutely heartbroken but I placed a kiss upon her forehead and held her close, "tomorrow" I whispered.
With that, she climbed into her car and drove off. As her car sped off I whimpered at the sudden feelings of loneliness I was left with, "take care of my heart" I gently whispered "I left it with you."
I drove home replaying the day in my mind, it had been absolutely perfect and I smiled at the thought of being able to see her tomorrow.
I don't remember the last time I felt truly happy, ever showed any true emotion like this. Being closed off to the world left me with very little to share, I had always thought life had never brought me anything worth being excited about but now I felt as though my heart would burst with happiness. How could one girl invoke such strong feelings in me?
Charlie's cruiser was not in the driveway when I returned home which meant he was still at work. I was almost saddened by this, almost as if I had been hoping he was home so that I could share my news with him. This feeling was so foreign and yet it put a smile upon my face. Perhaps it wasn't impossible for me to someday open up to the world.
