Rain....Is it really that good?

Today Is the Day the World Ended

I wake up sometime during the night to see Sapphire up and about trying to keep busy. Obviously my parents told her about Social Services and she just wants to do what she can. I clear my throat and she looks at me and starts crying. She runs into my arms and cries on my chest. I cry right with her as we didn’t want to leave each other. I wanted her to stay with me forever but I knew it couldn’t happen. I kiss the top of her head and we stay there for a while and then I decide something. I’m going to tell her my life story. I make her look up at me and I take a deep breath and start my story. I started when I was the youngest and my father hit Julie for the first time. My mother tried to stop him but he beat her up saying she was worthless and some other stuff. I tell her all the stuff that happened and how I used to sleep around before I met her. I told her about seeing my sister dead when I was 13. She started crying at that part and I whip my tears away and kiss hers away. She tells me about her sister Scarlet and how she knew Bliss was her daughter but she hasn’t seen Scarlet since she moved with her new boyfriend to Vegas. She tells me the first time her father beat and raped her. She told me about her first kiss and about her family. Apparently her cousins knew what was going on but didn’t bother to try and stop it. That made me mad but I calmed down when she put her hand on my cheek. I pull her towards me and kiss her trying to show her my feelings instead of telling her. She must’ve gotten what I was getting at because she kissed me back with so much passion that I had to keep myself in check. We sat there kissing for what seemed like forever and when we finally pulled apart I lied down and pulled her on top of me. I draw circles on her back and kiss her forehead telling her that everything will be ok and if anything happens to give me a call. I hear a knock on the door and I refused to get up. My mother glares at me for a little bit but when she answers the door she realizes why I didn’t open the door. The Social Worker looks at the two of us and gives us a small smile. I kiss Sapphire quickly while she goes to grab her bags. I can tell in her eyes that she doesn’t want to leave. I hold her hand and as we walk to the car the Social Worker tells us we can have a little time to say goodbye. She goes and sits in the front seat and waits. I hug Sapphire to me even though I’ve only known this girl for a couple of weeks I realized that this is the love of my life and she’s leaving. Sapphire must’ve realized it to because she hugged me tight not wanting to let go. I kiss the top of her head and make her look at me. I look into her deep blue eyes and see unshed tears. I think of our movie and our dinner date. I think of our beach date and how she got me a lemonade without having to ask me. We just clicked and that’s how it should be. I told her everything about me and we shared everything.

“Sapphire I just want to tell you things that I never want you to forget. First is I love you and don’t you ever forget it. If you find someone else to love you and doesn’t run when you tell them your story then I’ll understand but if you need anything I’ll be right here. Second is that in a few years if you need anything the number to my cell is in your bag and if you just want to talk then just call me alright? And last but not least if you still love me two years from now I want to marry you” her eyes gleamed at the last part and she kissed me. Who knew a girl could change me that much. She just wasn’t any girl though she was my girl. Sapphire kisses me and the Social Worker clears her throat. We look over at her and I lead her to the car door. I open it for her and realized that this was goodbye. I feel her brush away my tears and smile saying the thing that could make my heart feel better.

“I love you too and if you still want to marry me when I’m older the answer is yes” she kisses my cheek and climbs in the back while shutting the door. The worker drives off and Sapphire waves out the back window…there went my girl and there goes my life. Today is the end of the world.
