So, it was a lovely summer day in June, the 4th to be exact. It was a really nice day, not to hot, not to cool, you know? Anyways, I just woke up about..30 minutes ago, right now i'm drying my hair because I just got out of the shower.
"Chase! Are you almost done in there?!" My mom frantically asked. "Yeah, a few more minutes!" "Well, hurry the fuck up! I need in there!" Ugh, my family is never nice, they always want there way, or NO way. I really need to get out of here..but how? when?
As I stepped out of the bathroom, my mom slapped me. "Why do you always take so damn long?!" My mom exclaimed. I lost it there...When she slapped me.
I immediately went in my room crying, got my shoes on and went outside for a walk, but it turned out to be a lot more..a life changing walk I'll never forget...
I was walking down my street, listening to Mockingbird by Eminem, I always lose it at the chorus.
"Now hush little baby don't you cry, everything's gonna be alright,
Stiffen up that upper lip little lady I told ya
daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommies not here right now and we don't know why
we fear how we feel inside
it may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
but I promise, mommas gonna be alright."
When that chorus was over, I realized that I had spaced off, and I accidentally ran into a tree. "Ow! Fuck my life." I mumbled to myself. I brushed off my face and as I was about to stand up I saw a hand in front of my face, without thought I grabbed it, to help me up, and when me and the stranger met, i realized she wasn't a stranger.
She giggled and looked at my confused expression, I quickly recognized that beautiful face anywhere.."Oh, uhm, Hey Shelby." I said nervously. She smiled. "Hey Chase." "I..uhm, uh, I'm sorry, I should probably go." I nervously said.
Her smile started to fade half way. "Why? Do you have a place to be?" I thought to myself really fast, that this is my chance to get to know her more, I need to take it! "Oh, no sorry, want to walk with me? I was just trying to get out of the house for a while.." Her lovely smile came back. "Sure, I don't have any plans today."
I thought again to myself "This is it Chase, fate has found you, it's just like that line from Space Bound by Eminem. "It's not a contest and I ain't on a conquest for no mate, I wasn't lookin when I stumbled onto you must've been fate."
..But so much is at stake, like, what if she doesn't like me? I thought..Chase, don't be silly, everyone asks themselves that and they always turn out okay. You only live once, just go for it.
"Awesome." I said, still nervous. "Do you have any idea of where to go?" She giggled quietly again. "Nope, your walk, not mine(:" "Hah..yeah, let's go this way." I pointed the complete opposite direction of my house, to a secret spot I always go to rest and relax.
"Alright, Let's go!" She exclaimed as we were both smiling.
We started walking, and with music being my life, that's the first topic that was brought up. "So, what's your favorite genre of music..or artist?" I asked. "Eminem." She replied in an instant. "Y-" "ME TOO! HES MY LIFE!" I yelled, not giving her time to finish even saying "You?"
I caught a glimpse of her eyes, they were full of sparkling wonder. "Wow." I thought. "Just..wow (:"
Shelby saw me daydreaming and kind of looking at her and asked "Are you okay?" "Oh, yeah, I was just-" I blushed. "Daydreaming?" "yeah.." "about?" "uhm..im not sure." At that point I started to get really nervous. So I went silent.
