We Meet Again| Daniel Seavey

Past Memories

Portland Oregon 📍   2011 🕓
I gave my mom a big smile as I walked out that door for the first day of middle school. I wore a long colorful dress with earrings, I wore my hair in a high ponytail. And guess what today my mom let me wear lipgloss! It's a big deal for my mom to let me wear makeup.

Bus 📍 9:00 am 🕘
I sat on that bus beside my bestie harmony, me and her have been friends since kindergarten, we had another friend that me and harmony had to meet at school. Me and him have been friends since the first day of school. I took out my camera and me and her took a picture together. "We look amazing in this photo harmony" I said smiling at her. "We should keep this photo and show it to our 50 year old selfs" she said. "That's such a good idea" I said smiling like I was crazy.

It had been forever since I got to see my friends, since during summer break I never really go to to see them me traveling and so. We got to school where I saw him, sitting on the bench with his backpack looking right at us. We ran to him and I gave him a huge hug, "you don't know how glad I am to see you" I said hugging him so tightly I felt his bones. "I called you a lot melody, but you never replied" he said looking at me. "Because she was on vacation silly", said harmony budding in.
Then his other friends came and they started talking to him as one boy pulled him into the school building, "see you later" he said as he was being pulled-by his hand  into the school building. I just smiled.

Middle school building 📍 9:45 am 🕘
I had gotten my list for the day, as I went through the days Me and harmony were in 5 classes together, same with him only he was in 3 of my classes. "Wow I won't get use to all these classes, what if I get lost in this huge building" said harmony. "Yeah I feel like I will" I said. "Don't worry we'll stick together" he said, smiling at us then he held my hand and we walked to ELA. We stopped by the door, he dropped me off and went to his class as he walked carefully down the long hallways. I smiled and watched him until I got into class to have a seat.
Hello class I will be your teacher.... and the day continued. A week had already passed wow that was quick I said to myself, time flys you know it's just how life is....

Portland Field Park 📍   4:00pm 🕓
Me harmony and Daniel had planned a fun day where we would hangout at the park.
📞- "Hey it's melodys mother, could harmony have a play day with melody?"
📞- HM- so sorry but harmony has practice and won't be able to make it
📞- MM- well I need to tell you something, we-, were moving in a few more days and I really thought they could have this last moment together
📞- HM- WHAT, no way Margert you never told me? This is so sad
...
I saw my mom talking about how we were moving, yes I know. I haven't even been talking to her, haven't been eating or listening at school. I can't believe I'm moving to another state! I didn't want to ruin the last moments I had with Daniel and Harmony...
I got into my car, and we drove to the park, I had tears dripping down my face already, my mom looked at me sideways as she tried to drive at the same time. She put her hand on mine. "Sweetie, your dad got a new job I know you will miss your friends but we have to, I'll make sure Daniel and harmony stay in touch" she said, as her eyes started to water up as well, she was leaving her friend to not just me, I felt selfish then I wiped my tears and kept a straight face all the way to the park.

I got out the car where I saw Daniel with his mother. They were holding hands and he was smiling, his lovely smile. I ran to him and said "let's go play!" I said grabbing his hand and running to the swings, I had to tell him but when could I? We kept swinging on the swings, played basketball and even rode the park bikes they had. We were by a waterfall I sat on the rocks and he joined me. We sat by each other and we smiled at each other too. "Do you ever wonder about what will happen in the future?" He asked me, it got quiet and seemed serious. "Yah, everyone has dreams and all you have to do is keep believing" I said sounding educational. "What do you wanna be when your older?" He asked smiling looking at the sky.
"I don't know yet" I said
"Really, I already know what I wanna do" he said
"Really and what's that" I asked smiling
"Singing"
Singing? I thought to myself, but he never sang in front of me
"My mom and dad think it's fine, but I'm really shy to sing in front of anyone" he said turning red
"You can sing in front of me Daniel, I'm your friend I would never judge you" I said smiling into his blue sparkly eyes.
Then he closed his eyes and it got quiet, then I heard his sweet soft voice he sang
And I had never heard him before, his voice was a-little crackly but it
Didn't matter because he sounded great.
Then he finished and sat there looking at me smiling, then all of
A sudden he turned red
"I can't believe I just sang to you" he said gasping under his breath
"I'm glad you did Daniel, you sound.."
I stopped taking.. my heart started to beat
This was the first time ever that I felt
Like this around Daniel, it got quiet and
Awkward and we were alone this
Was the right time to tell him.
I put my hand on top of his, and he looked at me with confusion in his face.
"D-Daniel, listen I have to tell you something" I said, I felt bits of tears fall down my face
"What happened melody" he said worried 😟
"I'm moving...."
it got quiet
Really quiet
Then I saw his blue eyes lose color, the gray being replaced, tears went down his face. He held my hand tightly
"Stop joking around melody this isn't funny" he said holding my hand tighter
"IM NOT DANIEL! I'm not" my voice getting deeper, my eyes turned red from crying and I kept cutting my word, I couldn't stop crying. Then he hugged me tighter and tighter, like he didn't want me to let go of him. I felt my shirt get damp from his tears, then I realized that I was actually leaving, I was awake and I didn't want to be. What I didn't know was that Daniels mom was watching us, her face and red as ours, and tears down her face as well. When we noticed Daniel wouldn't let go of me. His mom picked him up and he hugged her still crying. And my mom held me by my hand. Slowly I was walking the other direction, leaving him, going far away...Then we parted our ways
"Goodbye dani, Forever". . .
