Kiss Me Slowly

We All Want Love

Prologue

 

            It hard not to remember the moment I met Benjamin. In fact I remembered it as clear as day. My family was volunteering at a homeless shelter when I was five. Ben was swinging on the playground behind the shelter I had seen him a few times before then but I was always to afraid to go up and talk to him, he looked too old for his small little body. His green eyes showed me that he’s seen a lot more than what a five year old see. But today was different. He was crying but it wasn’t like the way I would cry, I cried for petty reasons, he was crying because he was genuinely sad about something.

            “Are you okay?” I stepped out from behind the silver tin building and really took him in. He wore super baggy jeans that had holes everywhere, his shirt was just as baggy as his blue jeans but except for holes it was filthy. His sandy brown hair was wild on top of his head as expected for a five year old.

            Ben jumped a little. “Yes,” his voice was so tiny but at the same time he spoke as if he’s seen the world.

            “Then why are you crying,” I took a seat next to him on the other swing. I pushed my brown hair out of my innocent brown eyes.

            “You wouldn’t understand.” He told me as I reached out and grabbed his hand. He was right I was too young to understand what he wanted to scream out into the world.

            “I’m Violet.”

            “Benjamin but my mommy and daddy call me Ben. How old are Violet?”

            “Five, how old are you?”

            “Five and a half almost six.”

            From that day on we were friends. Play on the swings, eating ice cream in the used purple plastic chairs, and playing in the sprinklers that where set up right outside the homeless shelter every Thursday. It wasn’t until I was ten that Ben was sent to and orphanage after his parents got arrested for drugs and he had nowhere else to go.

            I cried for days after that until finally my parents gave in and adopted Ben until his parents got back to their feet and they did until Ben and I turned fourteen and they started selling drugs again. But it didn’t ruin our friendship in fact we became closer even when he turned into the school bad boy that everybody wanted and I became the older invisible sister of the queen bee of high school.
