I sighed as my new boots were covered in water by the passing car. I still don't understand why they don't just slow down, instead of splashing the poor person who's walking. Trying to keep myself warm, I tighten my jacket around me as I walk in the crowded city.
"Tori?" I hear a voice say, looking up I see my best friend Eros standing near a hotdog stand a few feet away "Tori!". Eros waves excitedly at me and I chuckle. He never changes, always happy, even when everyone is trying to bring him down. I speed-walk over to him and he gives me a hug. "Where have you been, yellow?" He asks me as he ruffles my hair. He's always called me yellow and I honestly don't know why, in fact I hate the color. "Around" I reply with a smile on my face.
After a while we both get tired of standing in the rain so we decide to walk to my place.
(At Tori's Place)
I groan as Eros kills me once again in COD 3. He laughs and pats me on the back. "I never win these things" I mumbled dejectedly as I stand to get some food from the kitchen. "Not with that attitude you're not" He says while smiling his signature crooked teeth smile.
I feel my spirits rise as I stare at him. Eros is the only thing I have left after my parents died in a fire. I don't realize I'm crying until Eros's smile drops and his eyes fill with worry. "Are you okay" He asks cautiously, as if I might burst into tears if he says the wrong thing. I slowly walk toward him and hug him tightly. A big startled, he hugs me back slowly. "Stay here forever?" I ask him softly.
He pulls away from the hug and gives me a smile "I'll stay forever".
He never kept his promise.
