Distant 🌜🌟

/ Why does my heart flutter for you? /

You wonder like every morning, why your heart cries out for the love and warmth of that mouse, why did this happen? they were just neighbors and close friends. You still remember when I arrived in your neighborhood, I got out of a very fine car accompanied by a tall and well-dressed man / later you found out that he was his father besides that his name was "Walt Disney" / you were too shy at that time to walk up to him and say "Hello new neighbor!" It was not the first time that nerves ate away at your poor shy soul, who was only looking for friends with whom to have fun, on more than one occasion you sought to get closer to the group of children that gathered in the deepest part of the alley but your throat was tightening and you heart beat wildly like a soul carried by the devil, so you just sat and watched from the balcony that your parents put outside your room on the second floor of the house where you resided.

The weeks passed and but strangely enough, he took the first step, that occasion is a treasure that your heart loves to remember, it makes it beat fast and be happy. It was no later than mid-morning, you were going out with your mother for shopping for food that day, when that little mouse left his house being followed by the tall man, the same cordial greeting to your mother and this return the greeting, they maintained a short conversation in which both were presented still in your mind resides that moment.
- So your little one responds to that name * I speak interested Walt *

- That's right, she's a bit shy but I know that in time she will be a good friend of her child * your mother replied very happy *

- I can think of something miss * said Walt with a smile * that it seems to him if we leave our children in my residence, so they can meet, I know they will become very friends, of course if you are willing. What do you think?

Although your mother already had some confidence in the man, she could not afford to leave you at the home of someone she still considered a stranger, so she was absolutely right.

- I don't think you can.

In addition to that, she offered the idea but in an inverse way, that is, that the little mouse will stay in your house so that you and your mother feel better well-being. The man analyzed the proposal and said calmly:

- Sounds like a perfect idea to me.

And it was in that where I would make your only and most precious friend. Their friendship is something inexplicable for other people, they always stayed in the same schools and groups, in addition to the fact that you always worked excellently with the mouse, so most of the teachers agreed to leave them as a "unique" group. Of course not everything was pink and laughs, when you both entered high school, it was a headache for you, during the three years you were the favorite snack of all the bullys. It did not matter how much you talked with them or with the teachers, they always returned, wherever you went even if you were accompanied by your friend. But there was a time when they went too far ...

Everything was so fast that you still have a hard time thinking about how you could prevent something worse from happening: Your friend and you were calm in the recess in what you called, "your special corner" was a very quiet place, composed of a small hill covered with grass which had a fairly large tree on the top of that hill. In that place they used to talk about the small and funny experiences that both lived but did not have the knowledge that someone was observing them. Those bullys had gotten firecrackers near the school (of course they put them in without asking a teacher).

Man, just remembering that event makes your eye burn a little. Seeing them both from a considerable distance, one of them took out a lighter for their leader to take out the firecrackers and light them. First it was a small mestia, they were small firecrackers that when their fuse was consumed, they launched sparks, they both tried to ignore them and continue having lunch before the break took place, then they launched a little bigger ones that only exploded releasing a light deafening sound (although the noise from the central courtyard silenced them). What followed will stick in your memory, and not in a cute way.

When they threw that big firecracker, you could see that if your friend managed to fall it would leave an ugly mark so risking your own integrity you threw yourself, staying on your friend and leaving the firecracker a few centimeters from you which caused the explosion to leave a horrible and burning burn around your eye, when the bullys saw what they had done they ran away in terror, the mouse was in shock to then react and give you his scarf to cover the burn, everything else is a blurry memory of sobs and the sound of an ambulance siren.

Shortly after, everything continued calmly until when they entered the university, both of them distanced themselves considerably because they wanted to concentrate on their studies, sometimes they met in certain places, such as parks or restaurants, so they took advantage of those small lapses to talk and try to maintain their friendship well. But you wanted something more, you wanted to be more than a friend to that rodent with an enthusiastic voice, but your nerves and insecurity of being rejected prevent you from taking courage, so you only dedicated sighs in love.

You might think, nothing can make it worse right? . . . . You were so innocent and naive as to realize the cold bucket that would fall on your shoulders only a few years after graduation from university, that moment is unforgettable for you, everyone laughed, got drunk and enjoyed the graduation party and you did not want to stay with the cravings. You looked for the mouse all over the party until you saw him at the punch table, his look seemed bored so with a heart to a thousand you said to yourself "It's time".
