Empty Words | on hold

  flashback 
four years ago

we sat on the school bleachers looking over the field. i had one earbud in listening to music while working on my homework.

you on the other hand, were resting your elbows on your knees, looking at the scene in front of you. every once in a while, your leg would move up and down for a few seconds.

we sat in comfortable silence. occasionally a sigh could be heard from you.

"come on," you pleaded once more, smiling at me. "they're not going to be done for a while."

i rolled my eyes, but i smiled back at you nonetheless. you had been trying to get me to leave for a while now. you were never one to sit and do nothing for long periods of time. "well...maybe i could use a break..."

you nodded your head vigorously before packing up my stuff for me as quickly as you could, worried that i would change my mind.

you pulled me from seat, dragging me down the stairs. "yes you do, we'll be back before practice ends."

we ended up at an ice cream parlor near the school. there was never a dull moment between us as we talked about anything and everything.

but you had been wrong.

we never did make it back before practice ended.

how i wished we could go back to those times.
