Back in Time

Date: 7/2/2016

First thing to say is I was their the whole time, but I not was physically present. It started out with a boy and a girl; the girl was thin and had long blonde hair with beach waves, she was wearing a loose short and some jeans. She looked like she was anywhere between seventeen and twenty. The boy looked to be the same age, he wore glasses, was thin and had black shoulder length hair that was sort of stringy but not in a bad way. He was wearing a nice outfit a dark button down shirt and black pants, the whole outfit was a little dirty. The setting was dark, but welcoming it was an old house they never seemed to enter in a forest. It was obvious that it was some time in the past, I couldn't say what year or decade though. It was easy to see they they were in love, but it was more of an awkward thing, long silences and the sort, but they seemed comfortable with it; they were both very happy together. One day he decided that he wanted to do something special for her, so he started setting up these lights so perfectly that it would spelled out a message, but it was never finished because one day for a reason neither of them could understand, she left. They were both growing old; the lights were finished long ago but never put to use. She became a school teacher, he became a bus driver, and one day there was a field trip to that old house in the woods. Unknowingly she got on the bus he was driving with her students and off they went. Once they got there she was flooded with old memories and started telling her students the story of that house, and one of the children told her that the man driving the bus used to live there too. She wouldn't believe it though, not after all that time. Neither of them had been with anyone else, they were hung up on each other forever. Suddenly she was back in her memories, back in time when they were still together. She went through all of them, the memories, and once her flashback was over she looked over at the bus driver. He had his hands in his pockets, wearing a sad smile and staring up at the house, she realized he had known the whole time. The student that had told her looked up at her and was so excited, "I told you so," they said. But she wasn't listening, she went over to him and hugged him. Once she let go he smiled at her again, he walked away without saying a word leaving her confused. He walked over to the lights and turned them on, green lights shined onto the house spelling out the word "Together." And then it was over, but it was obvious that they were going to stay together this time.
