in it for the laughs...continued...
i sat on my bed listening to pouring rain. i felt that i had lost everything in one second, and i didn't understand it. it was as if the one thing that i needed in my life was taken away. i thought of our goodbye again...
* * *
Leaning back from our embrace he looked at me. "If you don't stop crying, we're gonna need a boat to get outta here." he grinned. Thunder began to roll in the distance and black clouds were headed in our direction. i smiled at his cheesy remark. he never ran out. i rested my forehead against his. "please don't leave me jack." "nothing in this world could make me want to move from where i'm standing right now, madiline." pain burned my eyes. "jack." "madi." he touched my cheek. "i want you to have this." i reached into my bag and pulled out the baseball i cherised with every part of my heart. "i'm not taking your dads baseball, madiline." "jack please.i want you to have it." "but it means too much to you." "thats why i have to give it to you," he took the ball and packed it in his bag, "take care of it.." i said with some hesitation as i watched him carefully. "i promise." he searched his bag until he pulled out a small stuffed giraffe. "you should have this." "jack...norton?" "yeah." it was the first time i had seen his eyes fill with tears. he had norton since he was a baby. i hugged it. it was missing an eye and it smelled like him. i put my arms around jack again. nothing felt better. i heard him start to cry and i squeezed him tighter. "Jack, lets go." his mom called as his dad started the car. "i love you." i repeated. "...i love you...so much." he sobbed. i had never heard him cry and i felt my heart being crushed. regret filled my heart when i pulled my arms away from him and watched him walk away. the car pulled away and fell to my knees crying. i didn't leave that spot for about a half an hour. thunder craking as i sobbed.
* * *
i shook the memory, and hugged norton close letting hot tears drip on him. this is ridiculous. i thought to myself. i have to see him. i have to see him now. i climbed off my bed and slipped my hand between the matress pulling out my savings. i had been saving since i was 6. $200. i drove to the airport.
ehh. comments? =/
