Once Upon A Book

Proceeding....

"Why do we have to go walking?" I asked Joey for the twelfth time.
"For the twelfth time, because we can." Joey said without looking back.
Joey counted how many times I asked. Huh.
I think I am getting on Joeys nerves.
Joey and I were walking through the woods, following a dirt path. I started thinking about how much longer the book was. We doesn't have much longer together. I wonder what will happens to Joey.
"What are you thinking about?" Joey asked breaking my train of wonder.
" I am thinking about what will happen when we finish the story. We are getting closer to the end." I answered without thinking. Typical me. I made a mental not to slap myself later.
Joey only nodded and proceeded walking though. I doesn't notice but, our setting changed again. We were back at the park. Where it all began. Nobody was here though, not the ice cream truck nor, the kids.
I felt something in my gut. I knew then, that this was goodbye. I peered up into the sky only to see my own face. I was crying. Dark clouds were starting to cover up my face.
" You are cute." I heard Joey whisper.
I looked at Joey. Joey eyes were watering. Though they weren't yet, I knew that soon, tears would fall. Joey wasn't looking at me though. Joey was looking at the threatening clouds covering up my face.
Joey spoke to the clouds. "This is it isn't it? This is the end. "
A big raindrop fell from the clouds. I was crying.
" You are crying art you? Please... Don't cry."
Joey gave a small smile. Joey hadn't let a tear fall yet.
Joey was still speaking to the clouds," I am sorry. I really am. I just... I wish I could change this. I wish I could reach you where you are right now."
I felt hot tears run down my face. I tried to reach for Joey but, my hand was just air. I tried to say something but, thunder rolled off my toungue.
" I have lost everything. My mom, my dad, my home, and even my friends. I can't loose you too. I know what happens when the story ends but, before you end this, I just wanted you to know, you are amazing. You are the best. You are everything, you are perfect. I love you."
I then and only then, saw Joey cry.
" Please don't close the story....I don't want to die."
