Memories ~ A Rhett and Link fanfiction

Bullies...

        "I love you." I whispered, if you could call it a whisper. I regretted it as soon as the words escaped my lips. I myself couldn't hear it and hoped that Link hadn't heard it either. There came no response so I assumed he hadn't. (Note from the writer: hahaha, I'm so evil!)

        I had meant it though. I loved him so much.

        Please love me back Link!

        Once my tears subsided Link let go of me. Rhett just stared at us awkwardly.

        "Well, okay then."

        We laughed at Rhett's comment before we headed home, forgeting about the horrible event that had occurred only minutes before.

        ~6 months later~

        "School is over!" I cheerfully exclaimed as Rhett, Link, Kate, and I walked out the school doors.

        "Yay!" Link threw his hands into the air.

        We headed toward the park, that became our new hangout after the incident with Jack at the abandoned house. Kate and Rhett "ditched" us and walked alone together. Link and I didn't mind, they wanted some "alone" time. That term just made us giggle.

        Link and I decided to start on the trail that lead to the playground. The playground was mostly broken down, the only thing that worked anymore was the swingset. We took advantage of that. We would get on the swing and go as high as it would allow before jumping off and pretending to be a bird. It was a lot of fun besides the bruises our knees got from hitting the ground. The swings got old fast so we decided to go on a "nature walk" and explore the trails.

        I turned to Link.

        "So, are you excited about high school?" I questioned.

        "Not really, I mean, it's not gonna be as fun without my weird short friends." he teased, referring to Kate and me.

        "Don't let Rhett get all sad and lovey dovey about missing Kate." I joked.

        "Are you kidding me, you and I are like the 3rd and 4rth wheels."

        We laughed.

        I glanced at Link, he was staring at back at me, his blue eyes sparkling with the bright sun reflecting into them from overhead.

        Our hands brushed.

        I reached for his hand.

        He took mine.
