Just Our Life

I was walking in the park, when I saw them. A group of boys kicking a boy on the ground, dirt was flying everywhere. All I heard was the cries of help the boy was letting out, he needed help. I ran to his aid and pushed the a couple of the boys back, "Stop!" I scream as I hold up my hands, but the boys walk forward and try to kick the boy again. I start pushing them back and screaming at the to stop but try don't listen. "Hey! Stop!" A deep voice yells, I turn my head to see who said that, it was tall guy, he was walking towards us an he looked pissed. All the boys stopped what they were doing and backed away from the boy who was still on the ground. They looked scared as hell. All the boys scattered around the park, who was this guy.

"Hey are you okay?" I ask the boy who is still on the ground, he was wearing a black and white striped shirt an jeans. "I'm fine," the boy says defensively, he doesn't look at me, he just dusts himself off.

"Are you sure..." I start to ask before he cuts me off.

"I said I'm fine!" He snaps, he walks off. I look at the tall handsome guy standing next to me. He is about a foot taller than me, his hair is dark brown, and he has dark blue eyes. He is wearing a black v-neck shirt and jeans. He must have noticed I was staring at him because he smiles at me and returns my state with one of his own. I clear my throat and break the silence, "Did I say something? Why is he so mad at me?"

"I don't know, he might be embarrassed because a beautiful girl saved his ass," he says, still staring at me with a smile.

"Actually you saved his ass, do you have something to tell me?" I ask sarcastically.

He laughs and looks down at the ground. "My name's John," he says no looking me in the eye, he holds out his hand and I take it, "Delia."

"So Delia, how old are you?"

"26, and you?"

"29," he says with a smile. I look around and start to walk, he doesn't leave my side.

"So why in the world would your boyfriend let you, a very beautiful girl, come to a park by herself?"

"Oh I don't have a boyfriend," I said with a raised brow and a half smile.

"Oh you don't? Lucky me."

I let out a small chuckle and look down at the ground so he doesn't see me blushing like crazy. We continue walking through the park,

"So John, what do you do for a living?"

"I'm a Therapist, how about you? Model?" He asks with a smile.

"On my free days," I joke, "I'm actually an actress, I haven't done anything but," I raise my fist in the air, "Jennifer Lawrence, my time will come." We both laugh.

We continue our walk and before I know it, we are leaving the park and walking on a small gravel trail, there is a big patch of land with tall grass and full of tall, beautiful flowers, and on the other side there is small creek.

All of the sudden I feel light headed, I stop walking and put my hand on my forehead, John stops and turns to me, he has worry in his eyes, "Are you alright?" It takes me a second to respond, "Yeah, yeah in fine," I say to him, I take my hand of my head and shoot him a fake smile. We start to walk again and I start to feel a little dizzy. I ignore it.

"So John, did you know those kids back there? When they saw you, they got pretty scared."

"I take my little brother there a lot so when I see a fight, I always break it up. There usually is one," he says, he turns his head and looks me in the eye.

"And you just showed up without your brother?"

"Oh shit! I left my brother back there!" He stops and looks at me, fear in his eyes. I start to freak out until he says, "Just kidding." I punch him on the arm. "You really scared me, you...." I start to say when I start to lose my balance, I sway from side to side for a second. He puts his hands on my shoulders, "Hey are you okay?" he says in a worried voice. My head is pounding, I lose my balance completely and fall. He catches me in his arms, my head is killing me. I try to say something but I can't get the words out, it just comes out as a mumble. I think he is yelling my name but I don't completely understand, my vision starts to blur and I feel like his voice is coming from farther away than before, I can feel him shaking me to wake up but I feel like I'm paralyzed. I black out completely.
