All Rain ever knew was the feeling of being alone. He never had any friends. That is, until the day the new girl saved him from the darkness of his heart.

I wake up, sweating profusely. I raise my arm to my forehead and wipe away the sweat, letting it drop afterwards. I look at my clock. It's 3 A.M.
I get out of bed and head for the shower. Mom is asleep on the armchair.
I grab a towel and walk into the bathroom.
After my shower, I go into the kitchen and make a small bowl of cereal. I pour the milk, watching it bubble as it settles into the clump of Lucky Charms. I grab a spoon and plunge it into the cereal, bringing a small bit into my mouth.
It's raining again and there's a flash of lighting outside. Lighting is a no no, but it's still fun. The unexpected sound of thunder rolls past, making the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.
"I love thunderstorms..." I grin as I take another bite of cereal.
I look at the clock after I finish my bowl of Lucky Charms and grab my backpack. I walk out into the rain, heading to school.
When I get there's the sun is starting to come up, me watching silently in my tree. I don't dare bring out my iPod, since the rain would ruin it. Instead, I start singing Firework by Katy Perry.
It's still pouring rain by the time I drag my sleepy self out of the tree. I start to walk around to wake myself up a little bit more.
I walk up to the school, looking in through the windows. There's no one there, but all the lights are still on.
I turn around and head to the elementary school swingset. As I start swinging, the rain starts to settle down and it stops for a few minutes. It starts up again a little while later.
I was left. I was broken, shattered, torn, and beaten. But things are returning to normal now. Liz came back, I'm starting to remember things, and I've been getting...... Happier.
I smile at the thought of my birthday party and how she had it all planned out. I remember the bitter taste of the strawberries. I shake my head and smile at the ground.
Could it be possible that I'm falling for her? It's been only three days since she's been back. I don't know... It's all just a huge mix of emotions since she's been back. I don't know what's what anymore.
I laugh. I must be crazy. No, it's not that, it's just that I don't know what to feel anymore...
