July 20, 1979
It was summer of the next year, when we were all 8,Trigger, Chris and I were all around our pool cause we had decided to go swimming that day.
I got out of the pool and walked over to the lounge chairs we had set up and sat down, drying myself off with my unicorn towel, because when I was younger, I was obsessed with unicorns.
"I dont understand why your so obsessed with unicorns",Chris rolled his eyes.
"Cause their pretty", I smiled, not looking up at him, and drank some of my Coke.
"Their stupid",Chris said.
"No their not", I said getting defensive.
"Leave her alone Chris", Trigger rolled his eyes from right next to me.
"THEIR NOT EVEN REAL!!",Chris and I stopped and looked at him.
"Yes they are!!",I said getting teary eyed.
"NO THEIR NOT!!THEIRS NO SUCH THING AS UNICORNS!!",Chris smirked.
"Christ stop!!",Trigger yelled at him.
"YES THERE ARE!!", I yelled, and then the next thing I knew, I burst out into tears, got up and ran into the house, the up to my room and slammed the door then hopped on my bed crying.
Up until then, I was a firm believer in unicorns, and now I was'nt so sure.
And because I was 8 then, and all I cared about was unicorns, my entire world came crashing down.
I was up there for about 15 minutes, crying, when I heard someone knock twice, then they waited a second and knocked once more and I sniffled.
"Go away Trigger", I cried into my pillow, then I heard him come in and sit on the bed.
"Addy, don't listen to him. Unicorns are real, I know they are!",he said in the sweetest voice ever and I laughed, then stopped and got mad.
"Stop making me laugh!", I pouted again under the blankets.
"But that's my job!!", he laughed back as he hit me with a pillow, and I was tempted to laugh, but did'nt."Come on Ad...he was just playing..unicorns are real I promise."
Finally, I sniffed one more time and sat up, throwing my covers off my face and wiping my face.
"You promise?", I said.
"Pinky swear",he said, so I smiled and hooked my pinky with his.
"Ok", I said.
"Cool, now come on let's go swimming!!",he said then he grabbed me and pulled me out of bed then outside to the pool again.
