Twin Entanglement [C]

Chapter 32.5 - Rainy Encounter

[Hey~ this is a short one, sort of like an add on. Thanks for reading this far and please feel free to tell me what you think of the story and characters thus far! Enjoy ^~^/]

The sky was dark, thunder striking in the distance. A soft sheet of rain fell against my skin as I ran. I was aware of the temperature dropping but I didn’t care as my attention turned inward. I was too busy ignoring the pain within. It pulsed within my chest, each beat slow and steady with my breaking heart.  I laughed sardonically as I thought that even broken hearts still beat normally.

The smell of ozone lingered in the air as the world was drenched with what was supposed to be sweet refreshing rain. It tasted salty though, of bitter rejection. My cheeks burned with the wind that whipped my hair across my face as I turned into the road that would take me home. I welcomed the distance and entered into my usual rhythm meant for long distance running. I almost grinned thinking on how angry coach would be, scolding me for overdoing it.

The tears began to flow freely once I was in my free thinking place, the place Amy help me find, the place Amy now sneaked in and dominated. Her face was still fresh in my mind that moment I had told her how I had felt etched forever into my memory.  The conflict on her face would have been comical had it not been so painfully revealing. There hadn’t even been a tiny bit of hesitation in how she had thought to deal with my feelings. The realization that she had never thought of me as more than a friend had been a devastating pill to swallow.

The soft drops of rain soon turned harder and my legs burned with the exertion, but I continued on. Turning my face to the sky I let the rain wash over my heated skin every now and then. Pushing Amy down had been a stupid move, who knew what the repercussions would be. The fear of losing Amy had possibly resulted in me actually losing her. It was a stupid thing and yet I was angry with her.

The feeling of running in the rain began cooling me off as I tried to calm myself down. I knew the anger wouldn’t last, already it was quickly dissipating, as it always did. Thinking back on how things turned out I shouldn’t have been surprised, Amy was only capable of loving one person wholeheartedly in that way. It was one of the things I loved about her. But there was something else that was bothering me. A small thing that had been bugging me since Michael’s forced kiss on Amy. Strangely I had always taken it for granted, but I now questioned the quality and depth of my own love for Amy and that bothered me.

Coming up to my driveway I caught sight of an unfamiliar car. Going closer I saw a figure leaned against it, soaked from the rain. The figure seemed just as unbothered by the cold as I was. Stopping next to the car, I looked up to a surprising visitor.

“No fucking way.”
