Never in my life had my mind been so full of thoughts about one person. Rose completely captivated me. She was absolutely perfect to me and I hadn't even talked to her.
~•~•~
Walking with my younger sister one afternoon, I saw her. Immediately I knew she was upset. She had walked out her house and slammed the door.
Before I knew what I was doing, I was walking across the street. To her.
I need to make her okay.
I stood in front of her now, closer to her than I had ever been. "Hey, are you okay?" She didn't say anything but nodded and tried to walk past me. I stepped back when she stepped forward, stopping her. Now, she looked at me and I saw her eyes.
Her eyes were brown, but not solid brown. There seemed to be gold flakes in her eyes making them sparkle. For a second I was speechless and openly stared at her.
"What happened," I asked. Her face was a little red and even though she was mad I still thought she was beautiful. I looked over her shoulder at her house as she answered me. "My fucking mom!"
Her voice.
There had never been anything that sounded so beautiful to me. She could say anything and I knew I would listen.
My sister walked up to us, "come on or I'm leaving you." Rose started walking away.
Please don't leave. Stay with me.
I wanted so badly to tell her to come over to my house. To stay so I could get to know her, so I could make her happy. But I didn't, she walked away and I stared after her.
