Unseen

The Beginning of it all. . .

This short story is for AnimalLuver39's Kitty Cat Competitions. My song was in the Fantasy section and I was given 'The Invisible Man' By Queen. After listening to the song about three trillion and one times, I finally started. I hope you like it and tell me what you think.

Also, I do use some lines from the song, but not the exact lines. Meaning that I added words or twisted their order. This is my own take on this song, I know that it may not go directly with the actual song, but this is my own spin on it. I know that it also plays along with the romance genre, but this is the idea that seemed to keep popping into my head. Keep in mind that this will only be a two chapter story, so verrrryyy short! Hope you like it!!!

"Do you love me?" I knew this question was coming. Tomorrow was our last day to be seniors at our high school. I would be moving to California to get my degree in education, and he would be going to North Carolina for his medical degree. Tomorrow we would graduate and both of us would move away that very night. 

"Zoey?" His voice was strained and filled with hurt. His grip on my hands tightened and I looked up at the sky. The starts shone brightly, but clouds were quickly moving in, claiming the sky. 

"Adam, I-" My voice cracked and I quickly slipped my hands out of his. "I'm sorry." My voice was a whisper as I pulled up my ballgown dress and ran as quickly as I could. Thank God I didn't wear heels.

I heard Adam scream my name, but that just fueled my legs further. I ran into the dense forest that over looked the spot where our perfect night should have been. He had told me that this night would mean everything to me. I knew Adam wouldn't try to do that, he understood that I wasn't ready. And truthfully, I think he wasn't either. 

Drops of water slowly began to drizzle down until I was covered in a thin coat of water and sweat. Sheets of rain began to pour down as I finally hit the tree line. 

"Why?" My voice was lost as thunder rumbled in the sky. "I wish I couldn't bee seen because that pain wouldn't compare to being seen without Adam, my lov-" Jolts of electricity rocketed through my body and I fell to my knees. My head spun and black dots instantly clouded my vision. My skin was on fire, but as my body fell, I caught myself with my hands. Only, there weren't any hands there. I could feel that they were there, but my arms and hands were not there. 

I flipped myself over so I was sitting on my bum and held my hands in from of my face. There was absolutely nothing there. I slid my dress up, seeing my shoes standing on their heels, seeming to be held up by an invisible force. I stretched my hands out and rolled up the heavy fabric of the dress. further. I slowly reached out and felt down the length of both my legs.  They were there but not  there. 

I dropped my hands in my lap, feeling the soggy, silk fabric bunch up in my grasp. I could still see my  deep violet dress, so I quickly shed of the heavy material and my undergarments. I couldn't see any of. . . me.

Slipping off my flats, I ran through the rain until I nearly stumbled over a large lump. Adam? Lightning struck out in the distance and I flinched back, my skin still burning from the strike. Confusion of everything still swarmed in my head, but I pushed it aside, more concerned at the sobbing boy at my invisible feet.

"Zoey, I love you." Adam's soft sobs could barely be heard over the rain. He had just admitted his love for me, but he obviously didn't know I was here. "Zoey. . . Zoey. . . love. . . you." Thunder shook the ground and I silently willed him to get up. His body rolled around, nearly knocking me over. Dirt covered his face, but I only took note of the utter sadness written all over his features, it was heart breaking. Silently, I watched as he slowly got up, and I followed him to his old, Ford truck. Lazily, he opened the door and slid his wet body into the cab. I stopped myself from sliding my way in behind and comforting him. I wanted so badly to take away the distress I had caused and replace it with the vibrant smile he always seemed to have when I was with him. Pangs of sadness stabbed at my heart as Adam started down at the keys in his dripping wet hands. He was like a lost puppy, looking abandoned and forgotten. I pulled my arm back just as it was about to brush his cheek, silently scolding myself for my actions. I did not need to put Adam in any more distress. 

 

Before the keys were even in the ignition, I had pulled myself into the bed of the truck where I held on tightly as he drove, ignoring the cold sting of the water hitting my invisible skin. I couldn't shake this sinking feeling of loneliness in the bottom of my stomach, slowly rising, threatening to swallow what was now my life.
