A Different Goodbye

Date: 11/27/2016

I woke up, it's around 8am and the sun is out shining. I'm getting ready to go school. I finish getting ready and leave to get on the bus. On the way there I see a peculiar looking leaf. I grabbed it and thought, "Wow, how odd. I'll write my name on it." So I did. Once I did I threw it away and it was probably the last I would ever see of it. I get on the bus and get to rest a little and I close my eyes and can hear the sound of everyone talking while I have my music playing. It was Eden: Rock + Roll. As soon as I opened my eyes I was at my stop. I got off and was walking until I was all of a sudden jumped on. Curious as I may be, I was kinda mad until I realized it were some of my friends. We went to a college that had a strict dress code so we wore uniforms. Aside from that me and my friends kept walking. It was just two of them, one boy and one girl. They both had somewhat brown hair, the girls was darker, but seemed to lighten up and kinda appear blond in the sun light. The school day passed, I got back home around 7pm and knocked out. Around 9pm I was woken up by the ringing of my phone and answered the call. It was the girl and she told me that she was bored and needed someone to talk to. I got ready in a variety jacket, black shirt, slim jeans and black vans. I was trash, but hell it was late. I left my house and walked towards the city. As I passed this crepe place I picked some up to give to her when I got to her place. I got there eventually and we ate. She was talking about how her mom passed away. She ended up passing out on the couch when we were watching TV. I carried her into her bed and I was about to leave, but she woke up and told me to stay and sleep over the night. I got in bed and she started crying into my chest. I held her close so I could feel her heart beat and told her, "Life is never fair, but everything happens for a reason and because of something." We passed out. The next morning I woke up and she was blasting some pop music from some boy band. She was dancing while cooking and I kinda sat there in bed laughing as she used the spatula as a microphone and was trying to sing. We ate breakfast and walked around the city since we didn't have school. She kept posting videos on snapchat about stuff we did. Half the time she would drag me into make up and girl clothing stores. She would take photos and videos of me with make up or a bra on as a joke. The day ended I took her out to dinner and we ate and I dropped her off home. I was gonna leave, but she kissed me unexpectedly. She turned really red and closed the door and she screamed, "I'll see you tomorrow right?". We made plans to go out again the next day so, but I had told her, "I'll be here if you ever need me, not just when you want me." I got home and passed out. The next day, it was 6pm, but it was so dark. I was heading out too her place again, but all of a sudden I get a feeling I'm being followed. I go and turn into an ally to confront the guy. He stood there, I couldn't see who it was, but he told me. He told me a story, about him and some girl being childhood friends and then she meets a guy when she's older and leaves him to be with that guy. At the moment I realized it was my friend, who was with us the other day. He pulled out a gun, and I just put my hands up. "Hey man what are you doing, we're friends." "No... we're not friends if she chose you over me." I explained to him that she doesn't like me and he pulled out his phone, unlocked and threw it at me. It was a text that she sent him. It was her telling him about what we did and how we are hanging out today and that she said she liked me. I tried walking forward and reassuring him it was okay, but once I got close enough to have the gun at reach, he shot. I can see myself fall down and I'm just keeping pressure on the bullet wound. All of a sudden I can see the time go backwards while being in the state I'm in and seeing everything about when me and her hung out. All of a sudden I was looking at this blue scene when I see her on top of a tall building in a white dress and she gets shot threw the heart and than she falls, but the fall seems to take forever. She doesn't land on pavement though, she lands in a pool and than all of a sudden the water turns red and I see her laying there. She turns to look my way and she says something. I can't hear it, but I know she says, "I'm waiting." All of a sudden I get out of my body and I'm in the air I see the leaf I had wrote a few days ago. I follow it and the wind takes it to her house and once the leaf lands, I see a door open and it's her. She looks around and sees the leaf and fells a kind of sadness. She leaves and tries calling me and I hear the phone in my pocket. All of a sudden I'm forced back away into my body and I hear her screaming on the phone and that's when I wake up and I see I'm in the hospital and they had just used the electric thing to start my heart back up. I was told my heart stopped for for a while and the bullet is still in me, but they were gonna do it once they could stop the bleeding and get me steady. I was put to sleep, and when I woke up this time, I saw her by my side. She was asleep and holding my hand. I relaxed and she said "I love you", in her sleep. Time fast forward when I'm out of the hospital and I have bandages all around my chest, but me and her now live together, and we are in a convertible with the hood down. She brought some old sketchbooks of mine. I look through them with her and we laugh, until I stop and see this one drawing and realize who it's from. We drove and went out of state since we needed to get out for a while. Im out of my body again and see the car ride off into the sunset. The End
