Chapter 2... Sweet Pea
MY FEET STOOD STILL LIKE IT WAS FROZEN THROUGH OBLIVION. My heart was pounding shouting to go to her but my mind and my only ounce of pride was getting in the way. But this time my heart conquered my whole being as my feet moved slowly towards her my face was motionless focusing on the one end point in my eyes on that moment, her side.
my heart beat was running like a 100 miles an hour while my walk was like 10 meters per hour... I was walking slowly because of the fact that I was nervous. nervous by the fact that i was like walking towards the enemy line and intentionally without any arms or gears.
MY FEET STOOD STILL LIKE IT WAS FROZEN THROUGH OBLIVION. My heart was pounding shouting to go to her but my mind and my only ounce of pride was getting in the way. But this time my heart conquered my whole being as my feet moved slowly towards her my face was motionless focusing on the one end point in my eyes on that moment, her side.
my heart beat was running like a 100 miles an hour while my walk was like 10 meters per hour... I was walking slowly because of the fact that I was nervous. nervous by the fact that i was like walking towards the enemy line and intentionally without any arms or gears.
it took me minutes till i got to her but even when I was standing besides her she still haven't noticed me i was also motionless.. just standing there doing nothing as the waves of the river right in front of us strengthen.
i started to speak the words that was forever running in my mind since we decided to leave each others life.
"No matter what happens.. till the verge of my death comes or till i grasp my last breath young you will never be forgotten inside my heart as a part of me that will never ever depart..."
it was our vow when i made her said yes to
right after the first word comes out from my mouth her face slowly moved to look towards me while my eyes were still closed and my head was in a nodding position. Her face that was filled with tears expressed a shook and nervous face, then she quickly wiped her tears using her handkerchief then quickly stood up in a hurry to avoid me. she got up then turn her back on me but before she could even take two steps forward i started to speak again saying.
" I am someone who you have broken into pieces but still manages to disregard the past pain just to know the reason for why tears are shadowing your face..."
"Tina... For once face me don't run away please.. "
Just like me she stood frozen because of what i said. I faced towards her then opened my eyes while she kept stading back against me then she finally sp0ke
"its non of your bussiness.. there is nothing left to talk about so just please.... lea.. leave me alone!"
she shouted not in anger but despair..
i laughed in a grim silent laugh or a sarcastic laugh then smile while I said this words out of irritation.
" ohh common!! not that old tag line.. It already expired years ago ...... don't be impossible Tina.."
"im not being impossible Jowy... Don't make this hard for me as it already is, I am leaving tomorrow i going somewhere to star anew"
I cant explain the complication in my heart when I heard that Tina was leaving. I was definitely shocked and sad. It made me speechless i can't find any words to bring out of my mouth at the moment, it was as if I became a living statue in a matter of a wizard casting a curse upon me.
after a few seconds she ran away from me as fast as possible but seemingly and intentionally leaving a peace of plastic bag on the floor where she formerly stood. i did not have the odasity anymore to run after her because as she said I will just make things more complicated for us..
After she was out of my sight I picked up the plastic bag that that she left behind. I slowly opened it and saw 1 flower. A sweet pea, A very rare flower that cannot be bought in any flower shop and as what our science teacher told us this flower signify one thing, Goodbye. It seemed as if this was fate's way of saying goodbye.
I just stood there depressed, but i know deep inside me this was the right thing for us. After a short walk from my position ,i arrived home.
Dave was cooking his favorite meal steak and ribs. Being a great cook is probably the last thing that you would guess that Dave could be. If you are going to judge him in for the first time you might come up with the idea of a guy whose hobby is just fishing and hunting. Even Lyon was surprised when she first taste Dave's cooking well that's life looks can sometimes deceit the way people describe you in their mind but he is the greatest example of the saying don't judge the book by its cover.
I went straight to my room not minding to greet Dave. I was just so confuse. I laid on my bed brought out the flower that Tina left behind. My mind was just full of question. as why would she leave... and about everything that she said awhile ago. "dont make this harder for me as it already is" what is so hard to her that she must leave? ..
She was the one who broke up with me. saying that she had another guy and she just used me.
shouldnt i be the one leaving town because of pain and not her? For all i know.. She is leaving.. and all i have for me to remember her is this pink sweet pea..
I placed the flower at the desk besides my bed then sat up. I looked around my room.. and focused on the one spot that had many memorabilia of me and Tina being together for the past 8 months of our lives. I stood up and walk to that corner and took a glance at every Pictures, letters, gift cards, gifts, and more picture. the I gathered them all. I took out a box and placed everything there.
I was thinking that it may really be the time for us to move on with our lives. She was right the reason is not important anymore what is more important now is that we must move on with our lives and just live the past the it should be, just a remnant of yesterday.
I finished putting everything inside the box and would request dave to lock it up in a place that i can never get or reach. But just as i stood up something fell to the ground. It was a necklace, a necklace that she gave me on our first month as a couple.
It was a necklace with gold chain for its lace and had a locket in a wierd shape of a cross bring covered by a red cloth.
Just as when i was loking at the locket my eye sight began t blur. and my head was aching in an insane manner. It maked me feel pain like.. like.. a knife was being pushed through my head.
The suddenly Eveything in my sight turned to darnkness. My head was slightly ease from the aching by I stood at the dakness of everything around me. Literary everything was just dark i could not see anything. then not tht far from i was standing I saw smoke, emerging towads my direction infront of me I was too afarid and horrifide to move or dodge it.
I thought that it would kill me. but lucky for me it just passed by me . i turned my head to see where the smoke was going and to my surprised to see a girl being surrounded the vile smoke. The girl was wearing a white and gold dress with a neclace quite similar to the one I was holding.
She was pale white and her hair was long and straight. She was very beautiful.. She Just stood there glancing or rather staring at me in an angry manner. Like it wants to kill me.
I asked her
"Who are you?"
the girl did not reply and just remained in the same position..
"WHO ARE YOU!!??" I yelled out of anger but still no reaction from her.
Then right behind her was another woman in a combat attire for firghting with a saber sword and appeared a demonic huge tall form of red smoke that is in a form of a demonic dragon.
The monster came from behind them. I was like taunting me or endulging me to go towards him. then the eyes of the demonic creature ignited in an infuriating manner. it went wild.. then formed itself a man. a man wearing a black armor with a cross creast of gold surrounded by a red dragon on the armor and he was carriying a huge golden board sword. walking towalds the two girls in a formation to attck threathing to attack the two girls.
i tried to walk towards the girls but no matter ho fast i run it seemed that i was not leaving my position. I noticed it but still kept on running then I yelled...
"Wathc out!! that thing is going to kill you!!" i yellled but its like they cant hear any word that is comming out of my mouth.. My crazy instinct came rushing down my veins to run to them to try to save them.
Then the pain began again.. MY head feld like it was about to explode and i was momentarly grasping for air. Screaming for pain
"AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGRRRRGRGRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!
It brought me down on my knees because of the pain but i still urged myself to get up to go and try to protect those girls but then when i took a glace at them the vile man was gone..
but the pain inside me was getting more and more unbearable...
I felt like i was dying.. but then a girl with in a white armor with a moon and cross sign in its chest appeared before me and put both of her thumb into my forhead then everthing around us just exploded I still have streght to take a last glance at her face a pale face with black short hair and shiny blue eyed girl. she has the beauty unlike anyone i have seen before..
then I was suddenly back at my room.. Without anymore strength I colapsed in the midle of the room and the last thing i heard was running and the shouting voice of Dave shouting my name my name.
***************************************************************
When i opened my eyes the sun was shining out of my window. Dave was standing by the window in a serious look as always.
i crouch up and ask Dave..
"what happen?.. oww.. what time is it im late for school.."
as I was about to sit up i was Dave said
"Dont bother getting up anymore. .I already called your school you wont be going to school today. Not in that condition" Dave said seriously. i mean that is his normal voice.
" im fine.. What happened anyway?"
" I was about to call you to eat dinner but when I got up you were lying on the ground motionless. holding a necklace and pictures were scattered around the the ground.. I thought you committed suicide because of depression" laugh in a grim way ..
then he walk up toward me and i was just trying to figure out the events that happened to me last night.
" hey u know im not that naive to commit suicide just because of a shallow reason hmmm..... My head just ached maniacally maybe because of all the stress i had because of not being able to sleep well this past few days."
I refused to tel him what happend I mean who would believe such a thing. People would just think im crazy if I tell them. Hel even i would think someone is crazy if the told me such a thing. but is was wierd
come to think of it this was the second weird event that have happened to me this week.. the voice and now this..
you cant avoid to think the fact that there might be something wrong with my head.
I spent the whole day at bed even if i want to get up by body wont allow me because of the pain.
the only thing i could do at that moment was read a book. I was reading the Firm by John Grisham. He is one of my favorite authors. maybe it is because of the fact that if not all most of his novels are about law, lawyers and suspense, which is frankly my type of a story because I also have a dream of taking up law and becoming like Mitchell Y. Mcdeere who is indemand at the top lawyers company.
But I know it would take a miracle for me to even pass harvard.
Sometimes I envy the smartest girl in our school when i saw her grades on her report card. It was like all sraight A++ from the top subject till the last one. Me and Lyon always wonder what would are lives be after we graduate collage. Even if we are still in high school we realize that its not really that far away from now.
after hour of silence someone entered my room, it was Lyon.
" Dont you really know how to knock?" I said in a joking manner.
" So how are you feeling?" she ask approaching me then sat beside my bed. i could tell that she just came from school because she was still wearing our uniform.
"Never better" I said apparently lying.
"Yeah right!" Taunting me.
"So how did the fancy feast go?"
"ughh!... Please dont remind me about that.."
"Why? did something happen?"
"no.. it was just boring.. and they made me wear this fancy dress that i look ridiculous on, And I had nothing to do there but eat... The last thing I need is another pound adding to my belly"
she stated laughing while putting his hand on his belly.
" What are you talking about? That's the first thing you need.. you are as thin as a Kendo stick. Trust me you need that pound for you to avoid the malnorish line."
I mean that literary. Lyon is very slim.. and to tell you the truth i think gaining weight would really be good for her.
" I would take that as a complement" She said while we both laugh.
"so what happened to you?" she ask quite concern.
"well you know.. collapsing in the middle of the room... that sort of thing" i answered.
" Have a doctor went by to see if you are sick?"
"No, i requested Dave not to call one."
"why?"
"well the doctors would just say random stuff and make you take random medicine then when you pay them they leave. And besides i think maybe i just needed a little rest"
"you really are a cheap hard headed stubborn boy ain't you?" she said in an authentic manner.
after that she brought out a box from her bag its filled with rice and beef stake.
"I made that earlier for you. think of it as a get well present."
Lyon always wanted to be a chef even if she doesn't know anything about cocking. I remember once when she tried making a Japanese food "Beef Tokinaki" and she forcefully made me taste it even if i didn't want to because of the foul smell of the sauce.
I hurled 5 times that day. It was apparently the worst food i ever tasted in my whole entire life.
After i hurled the first time lyon was mad at me saying that I was just pretending to hurl to make fun of her and even tried to make Max try it but after i hurled the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time she panicked and yelled at everyone for help.
the look on her face was priceless i tell you. If i wasnt sick because of the food i would be sick because of laughing to hard.
I Told her to ask Dave for some cocking lessons but she is just either she or full of pride saying that she can manage and even told me to taste it again once she cocked another set of meal.... boy believe me I am not looking forward for that, if i want to have an excuse not to go to class some time maybe i can reconsider.
