Not Giving Up

Flashback

Nate's POV

It was a bright, sunny sunday morning and I was sitting in a bench of a park all by myself. It was a beautiful day, my eyes were closed and my head tilted towards the sun as I leaned on the bench and took a deep breath of fresh air. It was a perfect day for picnics.

         I kept on replaying the events of yesterday in my mind and smiled at the thought. I was brought into reality by an ear piercing scream followed by a cry. I opened my eyes to see a boy lying on the ground crying with wound on his knees. I was about to go to him just then I saw a bunch of people cominv towards him.

       A beautiful woman who was tensed came running towards the boy, she seemed gentle and caring maybe she was his mother. Then came a tall man who I assume was the father, had worry and panic etched on his face but he refused to show it. Then a cute little girl who might have been the boy's sister came running in her small feet.

       The woman started to aid the boy's wound as the boy was flinching and his father was watching carefully. After it was done, the little sister came forward and kissed the bandaged wound and patted on his back. The scene before me made me smile, and I also felt a stab of pain in my heart and I got wrapped up in my own thoughts.

    -Flashback-
Everybody was frantically getting ready for the event. Comments over one another's dress and complains were thrown all over. I was the first to get ready in my tuxedo and sit there patiently waiting for my family to be ready. But the whole house was a mess. My other half was running down the srairs in his white shirt and superman undies. My mother was doing her hair and make up frantically. And my father the laziest of all was taking all the time in the world just to iron his shirt.
            It was the day of my singing competition, it was the states one of the best singing platform and I had the prestige to sing in it. My family was a hundred times more nervous than I was. We all got into the car.
       
            I remembered the ride and the eventful night. I remembered how my mother was full of tears when I sang. I remember me winning , how my family had gone wild. I remember how the look on their faces, their pride, their joy made me feel like it was worth it.
          I remember every single moment. Every single word. All the beautiful promises. I remember the craziness that was hidden in our family that looked normal from the outside. I remember every single one of it and am grateful for every moment we had together.

     -End of flashback-

I got out of my trance a few moments later when I remembered I had to go to home to Jayden.

        It's funny how a single moment, how one day can make such a huge difference. I felt tears threatening to come out, but I held it in, I held all my emotions back, I tried to not let it affect me as much as it does, but it just hurts and each time a little part of what's left of me breaks.

Julie's POV

    We had arrived from the trip we had and I went to my home and was greeted by a spider in my bathroom and my brother nowhere at sight. I didn't feel as evil as Dr Doofenschmirtz today and put my prank aside and decided to laze around the whole day. I couldn't help but be reminded of the fun we had at the trip and I remembered when Nate had stumbled down and fallen, that made me laugh like crazy.

Wow now I was laughing my ass out alone? I needed some help.

         Then I decided to do what I usually do at least once every month, watch notebook cuddled up in my blanket with atub of ice cream or whatever chocolate I can get my hands on. You might think that I'm wallowing in self pity, but no I'm not. I mean who says you have to be heart broken or have a break up or some sort of sorrow to do this? Not me I don't I can do this every other day if you told me to.

      

       And anyways there are no pieces of my heart to be broken anyways all that's left is a speck of dust instead of a heart which should have made me feel alive but I don't. I don't, actually I refuse to feel anything anymore.

Enough of those thoughts I said to myself and started the movie and eating and hoping not to get fat. Oh well. I didnot realize when I dozed of into what I thought was a peaceful slumber but then turned into a series of flashbacks of memories I kept buried in the back of my head.

     -Flashback-

I was sitting on the couch thinking how messed up my life was that time.
He snuck up on me like we were the best of friends but I didnoteven know him, that was when we met. He carried his happy face and such a good personality. He was bright like a star in the darkness of night and my gloomy self was a dark grey cloud.

       Limited in only my friend circle, he sparked something new in me. He helped me in so many ways than one without even trying. I was a weed in a garden of roses trying not to be seen then he came and changed me.  He made me believe and I did.We were the best friends and something more and many things at once. Flashbacks of all our moments came rushing back to me.

     Then I remembered him telling me the news.
       He dragged his body towards me, he looked guilty, he looked like he was in pain and I knew he was about to tell me something I wouldn't like.
   " Julie I umm have something to say to you.........................."  Then I blacked out it felt like all the breath was taken out from my lungs. It hurt.
         -End of flashback-

I woke up when I suddenly felt someone nudge me. I half opened my eyes and saw the credits rolling in. Then again I fell onto the couch which felt so good. I didnt realize I fell into deep sleep until I woke up in the middle of the night in my bed. Wait how did I get here again?

     I think my jerk of a brother took me here. Then I decided to embrace the bed again because it was calling out to me and I slept again with my thoughts consuming me. Oh sleep how I love you.
