I often think about death, and how many ways it could happen. I know people always say and think that death is such a bad thing but as I sit on the roof top of this apartment building in New York I can't stop thinking about death. I sit and ponder but I can't help but notice in the corner of my eye i see a dark tall figure. And since I'm a young adult all alone on a roof top most people in my situation would feel unsafe or in danger but I don't know why I just can't help but feel curious. As they notice me gazing over They start to walk over. As they're walking I notice it's a man. Once they are standing next to me they say "hope your day wasn't as bad as mine today" I reply with " I don't think your day could top mine on the bad scale". After I say that he chuckles "so what's your name". I answer "tulip and what might yours be?" "James, James willow.". But as we are talking I can't help but notice there is a scar on his right cheek. As I'm looking he notice me and says "do you want to know how I got it." He says. I say " save it for the next time we meet." As I say that I grab my note book rip out a piece of paper  and right my number and give it to him. After that I say " it was nice meeting you James willow." He answers with "You too tulip."

The next morning I wake up to the sound of rain and once I hear it I grab my coat put in my slippers and run into the elevator I press L for lobby. I run outside and I am greeted with the fresh crisp morning air and the tears of the sky. I love it when it rains it's like Mother Nature is gifting us with this weather. Nature fascinates me it's so complex and exciting, like if there was no trees no plants no sea no rain or no snow humans would not exist I dont think. As I am running in the rain I notice I haven't called my mom yet I always call her when ever it rains, my mom and I share the same love for rain and Mother Nature I think I get it from her if I'm being honest. So I run inside and grab my phone and call my mother. It rings a few times until she finally picked up and said " hey my flower don't you just love the rain this morning" " hey mom yes I love it you know me." I answer. My mom asks " whats new with you tulip." I say "not much still in New York how are things in Cali mum?" " oh they are quite good you know the beaches are still here." She is such a lovely person my mom, I want to be just like her one day. " I'm gonna go mom but I will call again soon I just have a lot to do with work and stuff but I love you talk later?" " yes of course tulip don't worry about me just call me when ever you can I love you my flower bye." And with that she hangs up.

After I get ready for the day I drive to work at 8:30 am at the newspaper. I enjoy writing very much so this is the perfect job for me. I sit down at my desk and start writing about the newly wed couple in my town. After I finish work i walk into my bosses office to give her my piece. I leave it on her desk because she is not there at the moment. As I'm walking out I bump into someone I look up and notice it's my best friend Ciara. I look up and say " Ciara hey girlie, how are you?" Ciara says " omg hey tulip I'm doing great how about you girl?" I say with a smile" I'm doing pretty good actually! Well I have to go back to work see you later cece!" Ciara says " okay see you later girlie love you." " love you too." I raise my voice as I walk away towards my desk to grab my thune to leave. As I grab my keys to head out I walk out to my car and get in I drive away. As I drive I have a idea I wonder If I went back to the roof top right now would it feel the same as it did yesterday so as I am driving I hit a Starbucks and continue my mission. I get to my apartment complex I get in the elevator and press R for roof top and once I get to the top ....

There he is they guy from last night....

James fucking willow.
