Shattered Glass

Chapter four •rain•

It's been two days since my nightmare, and my other dreams haven't been exactly pleasant either.

The weather has gotten cooler and winter is on it's way.

I haven't seen Daniel in a while and I really need a friend right now. I'm not super good at the whole "friend" thing. I try though. I decide to go to the park again, hopefully he's there because I forgot to get his phone number.

I put on some dark jeans and a purple sweater. The sleeves are too long but I like to hide my hands in them so it works out. I look out the window and see dark clouds, I grab my black and blue polkadotted umbrella and head outside.

Just as I stepped off my porch it stated to sprinkle.

"Really." I said at the sky. A old couple was walking by and gave me a weird look. I just smiled out of embarrassment and opened my umbrella. I walked away faster than usual.

I was at the park in a matter of minutes and it was poring rain. I want over to our spot and I saw auburn hair and a tall man. It was Daniel standing in the poring rain soaking wet with his hands in the pockets of the long brown trench coat he always wears.

"Hi." I say walking toward him. He shakes his head ever so slightly as he was probably zoned out. His eyes glance over at me and he gave me a full toothed smile. Showing off his perfectly even teeth.

"Hello Mae." He says still smiling fully."Fancy seeing you here."

"Yeah it is," I wasn't going to tell him I was looking for him, That would be weird seeing as how I barely know him."What are you doing in the poring rain without an umbrella?"

"Well it kinda caught me off guard." He says looking back to the water. It was quite a sight, all the raindrops hitting the water in no specific rhythm."I take it you were expecting it though." He said glancing over for a second and giving a little grin."seeing as how you brought an umbrella."

"Yeah, I was just gonna take a walk, so I uh, I just grabbed one cuz I saw the dark clouds."I said unconvincingly.

"I see." He said with a hint of a laugh.

"Well, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" He asks turning his whole body toward me.

"I told you, I just decided to take a walk..."He gives me an adorable look, an 'I don't believe you for one second' look.

"I'm serious." I say plainly. We hold each others gazes for a few moments, then he smiles his full teeth smile and turns his head to the side. I start to laugh and then he does. He lifts his right hand from his pocket and taps the bench lightly with his hand.

"It's soaked!"

"Well, I'm already wet so I guess it won't bother me." He says sitting down.

"Yeah I guess not."

"So," he says placing his hand back in his pocket."What did you need to tell me?"

"Well-" I cut myself off knowing it was no use. He was good, really good.

"Nothing in particular." I say not caring anymore and sitting on the bench.
