Eclipse

Sunday Afternoon

     "You're late Chuck" mom said as she looked angrily at my father. "You never gave me a time to be here May." Dad retorted.

     I hopped in the back of the truck rolling my eyes. I looked out the trunk window and saw the Lee's walking out of the café, Jasper looked my way and I ducked behind the headrest of the seats. It's like I could hear him chuckle but he was no where near me.

After a couple loud minutes mom and dad finally got in the front two seats of the car.

"I called the tow-truck. It should be here soon Ren." "Thanks dad. I'll need it to get to school tomorrow.." Mom looked over her shoulder and sighed "Good thing I never took you out of that school yet." I nodded my head.

     Dad started the car and we started to head down the old dirt road, Swan road. It was a beautiful, lilacs and other gorgeously coloured flowers. I felt calm while walking through here as a kid while my family was still one. My parents would swing me between them and we would have picnics here. I've had no friends since I was young.

     Soon I started to get tired, so I closed my eyes and dozed off.

     When I woke up I was back at my old home, seeing the rustic wooden doors made this a reality. I was home again.

     Dad brought in our bags and placed them inside the front door, I looked out the window and saw the Lee's pull in next door, I didn't even know that house was for sale.

     Jon hopped out of the drivers seat and opened the door for Alex, Ms. Lee and Jasper also came out of their convertible.

     Jasper made eye contact with me, it felt like we had met before, like we knew each other before even meeting. There was a sense of release coming off my chest when he looked away, I was scared to be close to him. But at the same time, I was scared to lose him.

     He walked inside his cold eyes no longer in sight, so I turned away and feared what would come of this feeling.
