I hang up for the fifth time today; Lucy wasn't answering her phone once again. It seems like ever since she got together with her boyfriend, there's no more time for me. She's my only friend, and now, there's nothing left.
I grab my jacket that hangs off the back of my computer chair and head downstairs. Once I’m outside, I inhale and exhale the fresh air and walk down the street, making my way towards Lucy’s house. The wind flows through my hair and I shiver, hearing the howl ringing through my ears.
I walk through to Lucy’s front door and knock softly, waiting for an answer. Suddenly, the door swings open and Lucy stands there, her shirt messed up and an angry facial expression.
“What Skylar, I’m busy here” she spat, fixing up her collar as she stood there.
“I-I just came to see how you were, we haven’t talked in while” I say softly, looking into her eyes.
“Yeah because I have important things to do” she sighs angrily
“Michael isn’t important” I snapped back, getting tired of her mood.
“Neither are YOU! So get the fuck off my property Skylar, quit trying to change everyone because you can’t change yourself, because of you, I get called names every day, you don’t care about anyone but yourself, everything is about YOUR problems, not mine and I’m tired of it, so just leave!” She slammed the door in my face, and I flinch. I only came to see if she was okay, not lose her as well.
I push back the tears; I hate those water drops so much. I hear a rumble of thunder in the distance and I sigh.
All the way home, it poured, and I’m so grateful otherwise, everyone would see my waterworks, and who wants to see a fat girl cry, don’t think anyone volunteered.
“Oh sorry” I feel someone bump into me and next minute im on the floor, hands out to push myself up.
“N-no it’s okay” I lift my head and come face to face with... Chris?
“I really am sorry, I can’t exactly see where I’m going” He rubs the back of his neck and I smile.
“Chris, it’s me, Skylar. Don’t worry; I know it was an accident”
I see a smile form on his face and he spreads his arms
“Can I hug you to say sorry” My heart jumps into my throat, and stand still
“I don’t think you really want to do that Chris” I look down at my fingers and twiddle them together.
“Why not, I don’t smell... do I?” He sniffs his collar and I giggle.
“No, that’s not it, I just, don’t want you to touch me” I say quietly. I see his eyebrows touch each other and he bites his lip
“Oh, I get it, sorry for asking” He starts to take off.
“Wait no, I didn’t mean it lik-““Save it Skye, I know what you meant, your too good to hug a blind guy because we’re unnatural” He scoffs and starts getting further away
“I’m scared okay, I’m fucking scared!” I scream, and he pauses and turns around.
“why, I mean I know I’m not the best looking guy and all-“ ‘bullshit’ “- but I’m not that scary”
“It’s not you, it’s me”
“Wow, that’s original”
“I mean, I’m scared because, I’m really big, you probably couldn’t get your arms around my waist and, I really need a friend right now, and after hugging me I know you’ll leave because, who wants to be around a big fat idiot with a alcoholic mother and a suicidal father, nobody speaks up because they don’t want a burden following them around Chris, that’s why, that’s why I cant hug you, no matter how much I want to hold you and hear you voice say that it’s okay, I can’t let you touch me if all your going to feel is a weak, spineless fool who can’t stick up or change for herself” I am now in full leaking tears, and this time, it’s a lot harder to control.
“Why do you think so low of me Skye, I don’t care about your appearance at all, I want to be your best friend, hell I’m starting to love you like a sister-“ I feel a tug at my heart followed by disappointment”-and I want to protect you, and make you feel like your worth everything good because you are, I’m sorry that it’s so hard being the tough guy for you, my eyes betrayed me but I’m still here, I’ve known you for three days now Skye and I feel so close already, that I feel like my life’s goal is to make you smile and see your inside beauty that drew me to like you even more”
He tapped over to me and pulled me towards his bulky chest.
“And guess what” he says, whispering.
“What”
“I can feel your beauty”...
