"Come on Katie, don't do this" James pleads, trying to keep up with her pace.
"Do what James? Walk away? It took me three years to get use to the fact that I lost my boyfriend who was also my best friend because he had to move, and I understood that you didn't have a say in the matter but what I don't understand is what happened to us? What happened to picking up where we left off? What happened to that summer?"
James didn't say anything except look at the sand beneath his feet; he couldn't help but feel horrible for everything that screwed up the two best friends lives that summer.
"That's what I though." She whispered beginning to feel her own voice crack with emotion as she walked away from him.
Katie:
Have you ever wished that you could freeze a moment and keep it forever? I caught the perfect moment, just before it flew away on outstretched wings, and locked it in my heart; a heart full of rich colors – red, orange, yellow pink, purple and another color I just can't seem to place.
The color of a miracle, perhaps? I don't know. All I know is that the moment I chose to keep and treasure forever was the memory of just walking down the beach….
The sun was warm on my face, evaporating all my bad feelings, lifting my sorrows, lightening my heart and emptying my soul of all I knew. The sand stretched alongside me; white and pure. Only the forgotten footprints left behind remained, except for the debris and a few shells that were scattered among the footprints, as if they were scattered among the footprints, as if they had been sprinkled, just for decoration.
I could taste the salt –ground up sorrows; fear not yet forgotten. I could taste the bitterness of all the bad thoughts, blowing in the light summer breeze.
The debris lay around on the outstretched sandy beach as though it had been thrown over somebody's shoulder in disdain; it lay hopelessly, waiting for someone's love to spill. It lay, waiting for some love to reach their aching souls. It was a skeleton of what had been once beautiful –together; it was a skeleton of life.
I could hear the lost cried of the sulking gulls, the echoes of happy laughter. I heard my aching heart, rising and falling; waiting.
The waves sparkled and glittered playfully, splashing over my feet. They were happy then; calm and gentle; leaving behind their endless potential to destruct unfulfilled.
I picked up the curved and twisted shell that was lying by my feet; I placed the shell upon my waiting ear. I heard the voices of a thousand years, holding songs, thoughts, memories, joys, stories, and broken hearts. A miracle was preserved in intricate beauty, protected by the water –forever.
The salty air burnt my nose; stinging the thoughts inside my head; sending shivers down my spine. I smelt the eerie mystery left behind the sand dunes.
The water held so many unknown wonders; breathtaking beauty. Hidden secrets held close –kept safe. All this beauty and wonder , continuing until it met the sky and all the secrets and dreams began to take flight –let loose, into the open, awaiting skies.
My eyes followed the blue water, resting on the sunset sleeping peacefully on the horizon. For once, good and evil were equal and serene. There are no words to describe how I melted into the sunset; the perfect moment of mistakes and achievements.
"You always told me you hated the beach." A deep voice whispered, causing my head to jerk up and be met by a dark figure.
It was James, he was almost a head taller than me, my eye level was looking at his perfect lips which opened in a beautiful smile that I wish I, myself owned. It revealed perfect, white teeth. He was wearing a black sweatshirt with a safety pin as a zipper pull. He also wore slightly tattered jeans and a pair of black and white DC shoes. I sucked in a breath trying to calm my emotions that seemed to suddenly want to lash out. I said nothing and turned my attention back to the open waters. I had nothing to say to him.
"Some friends and I actually spent the entire day here surfing, we're thinking of maybe having a fire when it gets a little darker." James says, trying to make conversation, but to his dismay instead all he gets is a small nod from her.
"Please, Katie say something anything!" He pleaded.
"I should have never trusted you." I say in a whisper. I regret the words I used when I look out the corner of my eye, his face fell and his dark brown eyes looked the same as my heart…..broken
