Present. (Johns point of view).
Approaching my favourite place- a field behind a park, the beautiful scenery of tree's... the horizon which consists of a lake, wonderful nature. A breath-taking place to watch the sunrise. I usually come here on a sad day, because i merely feel alone, and here is the place i can call out, watch the stars, and sing freely without annoying anybody, which i normally annoy my neighbors. I'm not that of a good singer, but here is a place where I can anyway, and just let out my feelings, and sorrow. Here is an important place, for me. Nobody come's here, in this serene field of peace and tranquility. Today it looks extra beautiful, coated in snow and pure silence. What more can I ask for? Just this.
I seat myself underneath my favorite tree, which when blooms, is a beautiful cherry blossom tree. I like sitting here, I don't know why, but it's where i sit mostly. I pull my bag onto my lap, which was packed before I left my room and laid down a foil sheet, followed by a blanket and sit here.
I let out a sigh, in which my breath clearly showed condense, I thought this was specially pretty, a sign that I'm alive.
I let out a few hums, humming to myself, whilst throwing on a jumper and wrapping a blanket around me, and before I knew it, I felt more at home, more welcome here.
I take steady sips of coffee from my flask, and pull out some food. Although I had no appetite, i still had to eat, i can't starve myself and I started eating bits, tearing tiny proportions and feasting on a sandwich.
Suddenly a shot of light flashed before me, I looked up... And i was stunned, it was beautiful. There was a shooting star! I thought these where myths or something, but no.. I'm actually seeing it, I rub my eyes in disbelief for a second, then I knew it wasn't fake, I dropped my food and gazed at it. It's by far the most beautiful thing I've experienced, if only Dirk was here to picture this exact moment with me. I closed my eyes for a few seconds to make a wish. There wasn't a lot I wanted, but it was worth a shot. I then heard trudging behind me, possibly footsteps but i was too focused to open my eyes, after a minute, I then opened my eyes, and saw the last of the shooting star, and it disappeared.
Moments later I then heard the footsteps closer, and then I averted my eyes, casually watching the shadow of the person. But I was disappointed, it was Dave.
I shuddered, and looked at him in horror and gasped.
"What, what are you doing here?" I quietly said, in a whisper.
But he just blanked me and stared at me for a few seconds.
Watching him come closer, he then decided to speak.
"John, you where expecting to be followed in the first place." He teased.
Dirk told me- this is exactly how Dave was, a smug bastard.
I then hesitantly frowned and muttered "Did not"
And after that he sat beside me, looking into the horizon.
I really didn't want to speak with him- I was a bit afraid of him, after all he was the one who provoked Dirk and led him into suicide.
I looked at him curiously, but to my horror, he was also looking directly at me and our eyes caught each other for a split second, then he looked away.
This was the person I was scared of the most, and yet he's here right now, and I don't understand why.
If he's not going to try to understand me- it's thoroughly pointless.
Dave's Point of view.
I'm now hiding my face, I don't even want to let that one second glimpse get to me, but it did.
And why out of all places to run out and hide, why here?
I lifted my head, then looked back into the distance.
I want to understand him, and get all the answers I've been longing for.
How did he even manage to captivate Dirk? This dork... Those two just juxtapose each-other, it doesn't make sense!
John then glances at me, yet again and by now I'm just lost in thought to even care.
I let out a sigh and whisper huskily "John, how did you captivate Dirk?"
John then looks at me, trying to hide his blush terribly and then looks away , obviously hesitating to answer, but to my surprise he does.
"...Dirk and I met, it was fate.. I really believed in it back then, we took our chances, and knew you'd find out one day, but he... He thought you'd understand, we was naive... so very naive" He gulped and then took a deep breath, finishing the sentence "We were in love, ever so much".
I then froze and clawed at my face for a few seconds, digging my nails in.. I couldn't even speak, I didn't know what to say... Was it actually my fault? Maybe I was a brat after all.
With that, I then patted his head, but he flinched and swatted my hand away, I was shocked, and he apologized.
I warmly smiled at him, despite the obviously awkward atmosphere, and stood up, offering him a hand.
"It's a bit late now, isn't it?" I smiled again and with that I helped him up, I took one glance at his wrists, as his jumper revealed a bit, and i was shocked. I shrieked in shock and whimpered..
"J-John... your wrists" I turned pale and felt myself get dizzy, he then turned quiet for a while but as we were making our way home he decided to confess.
"Ever since Dirks death, i've been terribly depressed" The atmosphere turned silent again, and as we headed into the flats, and made our way into our separate rooms, I made sure he got in safely.
As he was about to shut the door, I smiled... Again and said "John, I'm here for you"
He then nodded, and let a smile escape from his lips, followed by a silent "Thank you".
And then I headed back into my room.
Within all this time, I mistook him.. I thought he was the bad one, but I was wrong.
I was the one that caused this, I should be the one suffering the most.
I then proceeded to lay in my bed, covering myself with the covers, and I laid my head down on the cozy pillow.
I was thinking to myself "What did he wish for?" And "Will his wish come true?".
Hopefully it did, because mine did.
To finally converse, and understand him- even just a little.
And with that, I can now lift even a tiny bit of weight from my shoulders, and may we both peacefully and hopefully become friends.
(Notes, sorry about the other two chapters being short! I tried to make this a bit longer, and also, so you're sure of the regular updates, all updates will be within 2-5 days. Also sorry if it's been too depressing so far! It lightens up after this gradually! THIS fanfic is based on mainly friendship, but towards the end, it will get a bit smutty!. Thanks for the favorites and followers by the way, it's appreciated that people like my fanfic, truthfully- this is my first actual fanfic, that i've been planned! Thanks again!)
