Weightless

"Manage me, I'm a mess." John said as he leans towards me.

"What are you talking about?" I ask while I'm trying to get him off me.

He sat up straight and stared at me, i became conscious and i turned my attention to the skies.

"As I thought, the skies clearer in this part of town." I uttered.

"Yeah, look at the stars, they are shining so bright." John added.

"Huh? It is cloudy isn't it? I think it will rain soon enough." I said, and I looked at him, only to find out that that his eyes were fixed to mine. That freaks me out, so I jumped off the brick wall where we are sitting and place my hands to my pockets.

"I'm going home, John." I glanced back, "Mom's probably worried." and I made my way down the hill.

I heard a soft thud, I knew it was him.

"Wait." and he slips his arms around my neck. "Let me drive you home."

And we got to his car, surprisingly, or the first time, he opened the door for me. I put up a short smile at him, saying thanks. There is something strange about him.

As I fastened the seatbelt, I remembered Dionne, a friend of mine telling me that John and his Girlfriend Lorenna broke. I don't know if I'm going to believe her, Because for what I've witnessed, John loves Lorenna so much. And when we are entering Mahogany St., he turned on the radio and a song made it's way to my ears.

"I'am a book, half unread. Wanna feel laugh at, laugh with just because.." the song goes.

"You know this song?" John ask, without looking at me.

"Nope," I replied bluntly, "but i think this song's great." I added.

After saying that, we fell silent, i take a look at him, and notice that he is lip sync-ing. When the song's over, he turned off the radio.

I want to ask him about what's up, and when i was about to say something, i hesitated. I think he noticed that and he ask what is it.

"Ah, nothing. Nevermind." i replied fast.

He placed his hand on my shoulder and shake me. "Come on. Spill it!"

"It's nothing." and i removed his hand off me, the shaking made me dizzy, but I didn't say anything. He turned left.

He said three words, it was on low tone, but I manage to hear him clearly.

"We broke off."

I was stunned. So it's true. I can't believe it. I stared at him as the silence fill up the car, the rain slowly falling in the sky.

"I know, I'am nothing special, but would you mind if I ask you why?" After asking him, he stopped the car.

"It is because..." he starting to share it.

"Of You, Clarissa."
