Somebody to You

I

I look at my wound as I cry silently. Wondering why have I been so careless that I've thrown myself out of the swing.

"Mum." I cry every time I try to move because it stings.

"Hey!" Someone shouted.

I look up and saw a boy running towards me. I think a year older than me.

"What happened?" He ask me as he studies my wound on my knee.

"I.. I fell off.. Off the swing.." I explain to him while still sobbing.

"Where's your mum? Are you alone?" He ask.

"Yeah.. My mum's.. My mum's at our house.. I went alone here.. I wanted to play." I explained.

"Okay. Let's get you back. Come on. Hop on my back. I can carry you." He said as he crouched down to let me ride his back.

Lucky for me he's a little bit big for his age so it's no problem.

I shyly hopped on his back and he stands up and started to walk.

"Can you tell me which way to go?" He ask as he adjusted me on his back.

"Okay. Uh, take a left here and then right on the next block. You'll see my house then." I say.

He takes a left and walks steadily.

"What were you doing there? Why did you go out?" He ask me as we near the next block.

"I was playing on the swing when I pushed it too hard and swung off of it. I was bored and knew that the park was nearby so I went out. By the way, who are you?" I ask him as I finish explaining.

"Curiosity killed the cat. I'm Nate. I'm new here so maybe you don't recognize me. We just moved in yesterday. And you, who are you?" He looks back at me and smiles as he finish.

I blushed when he smiled at me because he's much more handsome up close.

"I'm Eli." I shyly answer his question while still staring at him.

When I looked up I saw that we're almost at my house.
