The Bright Side

12

"All I can say is that you make me... you make me into someone I couldn't even imagine. You make me happy, even when you're awful. I would rather be with you - even the you that you seem to think is diminished - than with anyone else in the world." -Jojo Moyes [from the book: Me Before You #1]

Enjoy!

Ask me about what's the best thing that has ever happened with me, I'll tell you it's seeing Rawan. I can't believe she's here!

"Are you real? Am I dreaming?" I ask her and she laughs hysterically. Oh God how I missed that sound.

I pull the duvet away and run to engulf her in my arms. I'm going to squeeze her to death -just kidding- , to make sure that she knows how much I miss her.

"I hate you, I hate you." I start punching her on her back while sobbing on her shoulder. I guess I'm being over emotional here, but yeah I don't care.

"I know.. I'm so sorry Amy I'll never leave you again I swear." She cries with me and I pull away to see her beautiful face.

"How much are you going to stay? Are your parents here? How did you get here?" I start showering her with my answers and she widens her eyes.

"Wuhuu slow down girl. I'll tell you everything later, now I'm starving so move your ass and let's eat something." She tells me and I smile, crushing her in my arms again.

"Can't. Breathe."

"Okay sorry sorry. I'm still in shock." We laugh and go to the kitchen.

Seeing her is like seeing a chocolate cake. Wtf? Okay this isn't the best comparison but you know what I mean.. She's been here for only 5 minutes and she already made me forget about the 'Sam Incident'. I need to tell her soon..

"I want pasta. Now." She orders and I raise my eyebrows. She needs to move her own ass..

"I'm not cooking. Nuh-uh. Not gonna happen." I tell her and she sighs.

"Oh Amelia, you know how much I love your pasta. You are the best I swear.. Do you want me to burn the kitchen, yes?" She uses her damn puppy eyes and I huff.

"Okay!!" I say, defeated.

I already mentioned that I'm good in cooking.. Ray is so in love with my pasta. Maybe I can do for her the creamy pesto shrimp..

"Do you want a pesto pasta?" I ask her and she nods her head vigorously. Okay.. I'll take that as a yes.

Well, obviously, Ray is going to be fat during this hour. She's on her third dish now and she's willing to eat three more.

"Oh my Lord. How do you do this thing?

"I'm going to puke. Ugh.. Stop eating like that!!" I tell her and she opens her mouth, showing her food.

"Fuck you." I raise my middle finger and she laughs. The usual.

-

Ray is staying in my house.. She's not going to go with her parents and I'm really thankful.

I told her about Sam, and once I said his name, I started sobbing like a maniac. I thought that I moved on from the first day, but I guess I was being crazy to think that.

Now, I'm on my way to the lake.. With my diary in one hand and my guitar in the other. I need to distance myself from the world today and this will be perfect.

Luckily, Ray is applying again to the school and my mother has work.. And, thinking of school, it's been a week since I was there.. My mother talked with 'em and I should go after my first session in chemotherapy..

I look around me to see the beautiful trees, the beautiful nature around me. I always feel peaceful and happy.. It's just that God gave us a way to escape.. To escape from the people around and He gave us all these blessings to do so.

A drop of water brings me back to reality and I realise that it is starting to rain.. This day is getting better and better. I run to reach the lake faster, although I have no problem to get wet..

I sit on the ground, under a tree, holding my guitar and preparing myself to sing something.. I run my fingers on the calming chords, and start playing and singing Impossible by James Arthur. It is a really good song.

"Wow.." A voice startles me and I already know who it is. I guess my day won't be better at the end..

"What do you want?" I ask him as calm as I can be and he looks away.

"Nothing. You have a really nice and sweet voice. In fact, it is the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.." He tells me and I feel like my cheeks are burning. I know he's lying but I blush easily..

"Yeah right." I say in a sarcastic tone and he shakes his head.

"It's nice that you really don't know that you are a good singer. Maybe that's what makes your voice look sweet." He says and I raise my eyebrows.

"Wuhuu Adam being nice? I can't believe it."

He laughs a humourless laugh and a smile makes it way on my face.

"You still remember my name." He smirks and I nod.

"Can I please sit?" He asks me and I nod again. I don't know why I'm not talking but I feel like he needs to have some rest. Maybe he's having hard times, like me.

We sit in a comfortable silence for a few moments and he sighs.

"Can I ask you something?" He breaks the silence and I turn my face to look at him.

"Yeah sure." I reply calmly and he smiles. I don't know why he is being that nice but I don't actually mind. I don't need drama now.

"Um.. Why do you come here? How do you know this place?" He asks and I sigh.

"It's a really nice place here.. I remember my mother warning me not to come near the trees and I just got curious. It is really bad that no one was able to come here. But I'm thankful that I'm the one who knows it. Well, you too." I smile and he does the same. I ask him the same question and he stays silent for a minute.

"My mother used to come here." He says and I see an emotion flickering in his blue eyes.

"I have to go. Just keep it up and sing more." He winks and I blush.

"Okay." I reply.

"Uh and.. Umm.. Maybe the lake will be our thing?" He laughs and I do the same. Well, he is being over sweet.. Maybe I should get used to it.

Wait.. I can't believe that I'm looking forward to see this stranger. What if he is lying and I'm a bad singer? Ha! I shouldn't trust him.

This guy is full of mysteries.. When he mentioned his mother, he changed the subject quickly.. Some times he acts really nice and some times he acts as if I'm his only enemy..

BUT.. He is the most beautiful guy I've ever met. When he wears light clothes, his eyes shine in a deep blue color, and when he wears dark clothes -I just saw him once in dark green- , his eyes shine in a green color, or gray..

You know what.. He is definitely a devil, or an angel. I mean come on! He changes his personality so quickly.. And, he changes the color of his damn eyes. Yepp, he is an angevil.
