Dad's death has devastated my mother. He was such a fighter, we really thought that he would fight through the heart-stopping crash. We were wrong. Without sounding too synical, now my dad has left, we have no money at all. No inheritance; nothing but the dust on his battered wallet. He owned a gold mine company and as far as the family was concerned, all was well. But it wasn't. Last years predictions were just devastatingly off and dad lost up to £4 million. Obviously it was due to set him back significantly, but he hadn't spoken a single word of it.
With our steady supply of money mum had no reason to work, he treated her like the princess she was. We had to move to a Coastal town on the North East called Cleethorpes. It was small. And quiet. The pavement was brittle and with every tender step that you took, it would crumble under your feet like my mum's broken heart. Luckily, she has a masters degree in Maths and was able to get a job as a teacher at one of the local schools in the next Academic year starting in September. My name is Ruby. Ruby Findle. I've just left school and I've enrolled on a college course of Photography beginning in September.
This is my mums home town, I lived here until I was about 12 and then dad moved us to London. London's nothing special, it's shit. Everyone harshly looks down to one another and their behaviour is unbelievably shocking and anti-social. Its astonishing to see my friends I grew up with, how much they've changed and grown. My best friend that I have known all of my life, Tori. She is absolutely stunning now. I remember when we were 5 and she used to wear faded-blue dungarees and wellington boots haha! And her hair was a fine, golden colour and every single day she had perfect, symetrical bunches that were at 180 degree angles, like huge golden mountains. And her eyes were a pale, icey blue that could give you shivers with one harsh look of grief. Her nose was cute like a button. Her skin was golden brown and her face was carressed by gentle kisses fom the sun. Her freckles where adorable and extremely dominant, it just added to her innocence that men found so incredibly irrestistable.
Ruby Findle was beautiful, stunningly beautiful. Her skin was ivory and tender like freshly laid snow, at one's most gentlist touch it could melt away. Her eyes were huge and beautiful; a piercing green, brighter than summer grass. A firey ring of orange, brown and red tones hugged her heavenly pupil. She had minature freckles scattered in her left eye. They were so little that the only way to discover them was to get lost in her eyes during intamacy. Her eyebrows were curved and thick and made her smouldering good looks edgy, only adding a beautiful definition to her face. Her cheeks glowed a peachy pink, she was naturally flushed with bright spring colours. And then her lips. They were defined and curved, a sexy, seductive pout remained on her face at all times. The cupids bow arches perfectly and her lower lip; thick, curved and soft. She was a naturally petite girl, about 5ft3", but my god was her body the definition of perfect. It was the shape of an hourglass. Her legs were perfectly defined and smooth. Perfectly toned and buffed. No wonder she was popular. Her hair was the most beautiful dark chocolate shade the contrasted with her green eyes so delicately.
I was walking along the Seaside one day, just to take some phoeos. It was half seven in the morning when the Sun just starts to rise and its absolutely breath taking. I was walking along and my heart literally shot out of my chest. It couldn't be him, it just couldn't. But it was, so why fool myself? It was Samuel Devon. He was my boy best friend growing up, and we went through everything together, leaving him was the most horrible thing I have ever had to do. We lived next door to each other down a quiet road and were the same age and had the same birthday, April 11th. We used to play out on the muddy field until 10pm in the evening and walk in soaked and covered in filth and just cry with laughter at how stupid we both looked. We used to have sleep overs and eat loads of 'sweets' and stay up until 2am giggling quietly and watching late night tv. We both shared every single secret with each other and promised to always keep them hidden from the harsh cruel ears of this broken Earth. We started Secondary School together and stook together and we only grew closerand closer. We were eachother's first kiss and I know I we were only twelve but it was one of the vital memories I will always hold close to me. When I found out I had to move, my sto,ach began to churn and twist. My lips were numb and tears ran down my face. It was so heart breaking to leave him at this point, we were inseperable. He meant the world to me.
There he was, sat on the bench. He has beautiful chocolate brown eyes that are so welcomely warm. His skin was golden and tanned, and he had mid length blackish brown hair that reflected the Sun's beautiful rays of light. He was wearing a Khaki Fishtale Parka coat, with a floral patterned navy blue shirt buttoned to the top. And a pair of navy blue skinny jeans rolled up, accompanied by a pair of dark red leather Doc Martens boots with bright yellow laces. He had a cigarette roll in his hand and I could taste the smoke in the air as I took a breathe.
The adrenaline in my chest is exciting, although I'm extremely scared and content. I'm going to walk over there, I've got too. Wow, my legs felt like too sticks dragging through the dampened sand and grey toned pebbles. This was it, just a few feet away now. SHIT, he's looking at me. What do I do oh my god I'm panicking. Fuck it, this is it, what have I got to lose? I sat down besides me and he began to scan me with utter confusion. I turn and face him and he glances at me with a curious expression on his face. Gosh, his eyes were so beautiful, I was starting to get lost in them. Without even thinking I just blurted out 'Hi'. Hi is playing it safe right?
He looked shocked. Shit. He doesn't remember me does he...
'Ruby? That can't be you?' he replied with, confusion and desire traced through his eyes.
'Well who else would it be, silly?'
'Haven't changed a bit have you haha' he was laughing. This was good, it was marvelous, it was absolutely fucking spectacular.
'I guess not. Listen, I'm sorry for leaving you all of those years ago. I had no choice, it killed me inside leaving you. To tell you the truth, I had the biggest crush on you EVER haha. I'm hear to stay Sam.' God how I have missed him.
'Its fine, I had a crush on you too haha, it's crazy isn't it. Wow, you're beautiful aren't you? Still a Tom boy at heart though eh?'
'Thanks Sam, you aren't bad yourself. And of course, like you said I haven't changed a bit have I?'
'We'll have to meet up and have a huge chat some time soon, because to tell you the truth I am absolutely fucking nackered and if I don't sleep soon I think I'll die, I'll give you my number and we'll arrange it, ye? Where you living at now anyway?'
Oh my god yay, I can't wait to catch up, I've missed him so much and I can't help but have a firely desire to kiss those soft lips of his. 'Yeah sure, I'll give you mine too, and just up Bellingham street, it's alright'
'Not far from me then Ms. Findle!' He gave a cheeky, flirtasious smile which revealed his adorable, boyish dimples that gave my insides a fuzzy feeling.
We exchanged numbers and we've been texting ever since, flirting. Every message I receive makes my heart rate fasten and my lips a numb sensation. I had butterflies. I'm meeting him tomorrow and God only knows what will happen. Hold on, my phone has just vibrated. It's from Sam. Wow it ,ust be huge, it's sent in three seperate texts all together. It says:
Sam: Ruby, ever since I saw you at the beach, I can't stop thinking about you. You've grown to become such a beautiful girl and we met today for a reason, and my prediction is that it's a good one. Every time you smiled today, I got butterflies, honest to god it gave me chills, you are literally the most beautiful girl I have laid eyes on. I can't wait for tomorrow with you, how it can be like old times where we laugh until we cry, eat shit loads of food and be inseperable. And maybe we can carry on where we left off? In time obviously, I just want to spend time with you first because I've missed you far too much. Remember Mr Puddy you gave me? That battered teddy bear for me to remember you by? I still have it, and everyday it reminded me of how special you are. Like I said today, I also had a massive crush on you, and now I'm old enough to realise true feelings and emotions, good night princess, I hope you have sweet beautiful dreams. X'
OH MY GOD THAT IS BEAUTIFUL, Wow oh my god my heart is racing, what do I put?
