After what happened with my mom I ended up getting lost in thought and the notion of the incident soon began to drive me up a wall, my irritation continuing to build whilst her words ran wildly through my mind. I had to shut it out, I had to and so I stood and threw on a jacket, grabbing my notebook and phone before hurrying out of the house. After a short walk, I reached the local park I used to go to all the time as a child, I had a lot of memories here which is why I think I found solace in being here at all. As I walked I couldn't help but look around aimlessly, all over there were certain spots that I only had to look at to remember something that happened there in my youth, I could practically see myself running around as a child with my friends, with him. I was much happier at the time, not once do I remember being sad much at all in my childhood, if I had been it definitely wasn't significant enough for me to think of currently, though, in the end, the sadness that had come over my heart after the accident overshadowed most feelings I'd ever felt entirely.
After about a half and hour of walking around the park aimlessly I finally just sat down on the nearest bench I could find and let out a sigh, looking up at the darkening sky for a moment before picking up my notebook and beginning to write.
"Hey Kai, I know it's been a few days since I've written you, I have no real excuse as for why I haven't, I just haven't felt up to it I guess. Earlier today my mom tried talking to me and I completely shut her out, I know she only wants to help me get better but right now I can't help but hold onto the past, when things were better and I really was happy but I know that I can't hold onto those types of things forever, if I did I'd only be keeping myself in denial but even then I can't help but still miss the good times though I know they are gone now. "
Once I finished writing I shut my notebook and set it down next to me, a sigh leaving me as I close my eyes, leaning my head up against the bench, the simple action calming me greatly. As I sit there for a minute I'm suddenly snapped back into reality by the sound of someone crying hysterically, opening my eyes I get up looking around until my eyes fall onto a girl, sitting up against a tree not far from the bench I had been at, curled up in a ball. I frowned as I saw her though I couldn't help but get up, walking over to her I crouch down.
"Hey, why are you crying?" I ask softly.
A second later her crying suddenly stops, looking up quickly, her green eyes red and puffy, tears streaming down her face which instantly made me tense up. The second we made eye contact she quickly attempted to wipe away her tears though they only continued to come down as she pressed herself into the tree in a feeble attempt to get further away from me. I stared at the girl for a moment before sighing, reaching into my pocket I pulled out a pack of tissues and held it out to her, staring at me in shock for a moment, she sniffled before slowly reaching out and taking them from me carefully.
Today's a haze, better become empathetic.
