Foggy Flames

Burning. Everything inside my body is burning.

The cause? Fog. 

I always thought Fog and I would be really good friends. At one point in life,  we even loved the each other. We were the best couple out there. I would wake up really early just to see her and she would surround me with her presence for as long as possible. Also I would stay awake at night to see her again. She made me so happy and vice versa.

Then one cold winter day, my father came up to me and told be a horrific news: my family is moving to America. I couldn't stand that news.  I felt broken. 

That night, when Fog came, I told her what was gonna happen in just a few days.  She was upset and so was I.  She couldn't hold back her tears.  Her tears rained down on me, soaking my entire body.  She cried and cried and eventually, I started to cry.  We both cried till we couldn't cry anymore. I went home after because mom was calling me. 

The next few days I woke up early, like I do everyday, to see her,  but she didn't come.  I waited and waited. Sometimes I would wait for her until it was lunch time, however she never appeared.

The day of my departure came.  I wanted to say goodbye to her, so I woke up extra early. When I went outside, she was already there. My heart became a little more relaxed. I knew she was still upset, but I asked her to walk with me. As we were walking, I asked her where she was the past few days. She told me she was busy at home; I knew she was lying. I didn't question it though. After that we walked in silence until my mom called me to take my luggage inside the car.  I said goodbye to Fog and went to mom.

When we were done and ready to leave, I noticed Fog was just standing in a corner. As our car was leaving, she just stood there watching me with a blank expression. Right before she was out of my sight, I saw a tear slip from her.  Pretty soon it started raining hard. I started to sob and passed out.

  The trip to America was a blur and the first thought I had when I landed was '2 months and I'm going back to her.  I will see her again next year.' Those '2 months' turned in 6 years.  Along the way,  I made so many new friends: Snow, Wind, etc. Maybe that's why she's upset.

I saw her after 6 years, so I don't know why I expected us to become friends again. I guess my love for her never left.  I don't think she feels the same, though. The day after my arrival was the day I saw her.  She still looks breathtaking, but I didn't go on a walk because my cousins were with me. 

The next day, I woke up before any of my cousins and went on that walk. Fog seemed relieved to see me, but at the same time I saw pain. I told her I missed her and she told me I replaced her with Wind. I'm not gonna deny the strong feelings I have for wind,  but I would never replace Fog.  By the time I was going to tell her, she left.

I would see her in the morning, but she would ignore me.  One night, I don't what happened to her. I was sitting outside my house at night and she surrounded me.  I thought she was telling me that she forgave me, but she just kept on surrounding me more and more until I was suffocating. Then, she attacked me.  I ran inside my house and locked the door.  I can't believe my former lover just attacked me like that. The next morning I woke up with that burning feeling running all over my body.

That,  ladies and gentlemen, is my way of telling you one simple thing: I caught a cold from the fog here and now I'm extremely sick.  Leave it up to me to make everything dramatic.
