Forever With Me

Chapter 2 ~ The Swing

Chapter 2 ~ The Swing

As I woke up that morning feeling lonely and depressed, I slowly walked to the kitchen to notice my mother was standing there, we both almost ignored each other but I wanted to talk to her

" Hi Mom "

" Hi Sweetheart "

I could feel my trout getting tighter as I tried to basically talk to my mom, just thinking about only having four more years left with her made my crumble inside, there was a moment of silence until my mother started speaking again

" I love you, Always remember that okay "

Instantly after my mother said that I had to tell her

" I know what the doctor said mom "

" what are talking about sweetie "

This time I spoke in a more angry voice

" I know what the doctor said! I only have four years to live mom! "

" Oh my god honey I didn't think you knew "

For a second I stood there shaking my head lightly with warm tears rolling down my face my mother tried to comfort me but I just pushed her away , she collapsed on the floor and this point she is also crying I started to panic I didn't know what to do so I grabbed the first pair of sneakers and my black warm coat and shattered open the door and ran outside into the backyard, as I quickly ran forwards the backyard gate, I stopped for a second or two trying to open the gate with my shaking weak hands, I managed to open the gate , when I ran passed the house I could hear my mother yelling At me through the front window

" TAYLOR WHAT ARE TOU DOING!!?? Get back here right now !! "

I started to run faster thinking that she would chase me but she didn't, I stopped running about 3 minutes later, It was the end of October so it was pretty cold and bitter outside considering it was almost winter, I was looking down as I walked down the sidewalk , I could hear myself breathing deeply, I suddenly looked up to see a big tree with a old wooden swing attached to it , I decided to sit in it and swing, it might take my mind off things, I sat down on the swing hearing a crackling sound but it didn't bother me , as I was swinging I looked at my watch to see that it was 12:24, I looked up to see a blue house and to the left of the house was a old shaggy looking playground. As I keep swinging softly in the crisp air I see a guy walking down the street he comes closer I get a little scared because I'm still kind of shakin up from yesterday, He is close enough now that I can notice what he looks like, he is wearing black pants, a grey ripped sweater, he has his hands in his pocket with his head down so all I can recognize on his head is his black slick hair. He is coming towards me I just put my head down and keep swinging like I didn't notice anything, as I think he is going to come up to me he turned to the left to the old playground where there are also swings and some slides but that was pretty much it,

We were both swing at different speeds it was really awkward for the first little while but then the boy started to speak

" Hi "

He says softly and almost nervously

" Hi "

I say back

" I never saw you around here before, do you live around here? "

" No I was just walking up the street and I really wanted to get out of my house, I have a lot on my mind "

" oh I see me too, life is really ruff right now "

" why what happened "

I don't usually talk like this to strangers or even in school, I'm the girl who always sits in the back and doesn't answer questions

" I was driving with my brother, we were on the way to the mall and he got into a big car accident with a transport truck, I was in the car with him and I was pretty beat up but my brother he died before the ambulance came to save us, I watched him die about a month or two ago "

" I'm so sorry, it must be really hard, I have a little sister she is annoying to me but I love her alot "

We both just laughed a little bit them suddenly he asked me

" so what happened to you "

The boy says quietly

" I don't want to talk about it "

" okay "

We both just swung there in silence for about 15 minutes

" I have to go my mom is already angry at me enough "

" okay bye "

I slowly get off the swing I look at the strange boy and he gives me a warm Smile I walk up the street feeling almost happy for once in the past few months I wasn't thinking about cancer and the bad things in life, I was happy , as I keep walking up the street almost to my house I keep thinking

" to bad I didn't get his name "
