my last breath

The encounter

Lizzy is busy with her family and mom, I love playing for you, I really do, but I also need to get used to playing Infront of other people too. Please, please, please, please. And I graduated today come on".This is me trying to convince my mom to let me go to the train station that night.

" Okey, you only have one hour ".

I happily hugged her ." Thanks mom".

" Hey, text me when you get there".

"I love you" I said and took off with my guitar and song book.

I graduated today and I was out with my friends for the celebration,but I was just seated at a corner sipping my beer.i wasn't really completely happy,I have had this same mood ever since I couldn't race anymore.you might be wondering why's that,it's because I had an accident that affected my leg and my coach replaced me with someone else.Ever since I could remember I love running and it was my dream to compete in the Boston marathon,but I think it won't be possible anymore.

From where I was seated,I could see my friends enjoying the evening, there were fireworks and hot girls around.some people were just talking,others were drinking and some were playing pick and pass game .when I was about to sip my drink again,I saw my friends walking towards me.

"Hey,don't do that thing" Noah said

"Do what" I replied

"That,I mean you look all sad,and it makes me sad too".he said then sat besides me.

"Please just chug this beer and come hangout".

" Dude,come on man"Emmy said

" Come on,don't be like this "Noah added.

I stood up and was just grinning at them,my both hands in my pocket.

" Guys,I'm sorry about my mood"I said.

" Michael "I heard someone called my name and when I turned sideways to see who was calling,it was mark.

When my friends saw him,they giggled.

" Oh my goodness,not now"I said.mark is gay and he has always had a thing for me but I'm not gay.I have told him ,and he promised to stop making advances at me but still he can't stop hovering around me and honestly I don't want to make him feel bad,I just want him to stop.

" Michael you are in trouble"he said

" What did I do? I asked.

'you didn't get a drink for me"

" I didn't know you were thirty"

" Now you do,hope you are coming for my graduation party ".he asked

" Yeah,I think so".

With that he left and my friends couldn't hold back their laughter .

" Urm,Im going to take a stroll".I said to them and walked away.

I went to the train station and brought out my song book and my guitar, then I saw a wooden bench just beside the road and went over there to sit. I started playing my guitar and some people coming down from train will just stare at me and go while others were dropping money into my guitar bag that was placed Infront of me.

Then a saw someone coming towards me, his hands in his trouser pocket, he was putting on a hoodie with a pair of trouser and a sneaker,his hair was neatly arranged. When he came closer to me I saw him clearly, Michael, my childhood crush. I tried to run from him when he stopped Infront of me but he held back my hand.

"Wait " he said

I started gathering all the money in my guitar bag quickly do I could leave immediately, I didn't really trust myself on how I'm going to behave around him. Most of the money fell, because my hands was shaking, I was really nervous that moment. The guy I have had a crush on all my life was standing before me, and I didn't know what else to do. I tried picking the money that fell to the ground and he was actually helping me do it while stealing glances at me.

"Urm... I didn't mean to freak you out."

"Here" he said and handed me the guitar bag with those in it.

" Uh... Me... I'm not freaking out " I tried to defend myself. Don't worry about it, I'm not a freak." I continued.

"Then why are you packing up immediately you saw me, where are you going".

"Urm... I.. gotta go home" I stammered.

"Home? Wait.. uh.. you live around here?.

" Urm... Yeah, and my mom is a great worrier , so, I gotta go home "

Michael chuckled and when I was about to move I stumbled and he grabbed me. His hands was holding me around my back so I won't fall to the ground, his eyes were locked into mine.Alot crossed through my mind that minute, his eyes were sparkling in the night and his lips are so attractive than I wanted to have a taste of them. I was lost in my own world of fantasy, everything tha night was happening so fast.After few minutes of us staying in that position, I realized I have been staring into his eyes with my mouth slightly opened .

"I..... Urm ..... have to go now" with that I released myself from his grip and turned towards the way that leads to my house and i took off.

The next day I phoned Lizzy to come over because I needed to tell her exactly what happened at the train station last night. Lizzy came around that day and get ear was itching her to hear what I had to say. "So you mean you literally ran away" she said after she heard the whole story.

"What would you have me do? I asked

" Anything "she said

" Like, hey, I'm Ann Gilbert. I have watched you outside my windows for the past years and I have been inlove with you, stalking you every minutes of the day".I said then threw myself on the bed and held unto the pillow as if my life depended on it that moment.

"Okey, don't start that" she said, how about "hey, you may remember me from kindergarten".

"Where everyone called me a vampire" I chipped in.

"No, no , no, no, no" Lizzy yelled.

I sighed.
