To Love And Love Again

Chapter 1

Everything was dead quiet, darkness covered the world like a big black blanket of death that would give anyone the uncertainity of life. Not even the most sturbon cricket dared to chirp. Darkness looked even darker than norm tonight. The only exception was afew stars in the sky whose beautiful twinkle assured me of life.

By now, everyone in the neighbourhood was certainly fast asleep. But i wasn't.

Step after step i walked aimlessly in the dark with slow and heavy steps of a zombie. Infact, i wished i was one because if i were, she sure as hell couldn't have broken my heart that bad. Zombies don't have a heart, do they?

I hadn't noticed how far i had walked or atleast i didn't have nothing to care but suddenly felt myself walking on sand. It didn't take a scientist to make me discover that i was on the shores of a small lake down the far end of my neighborhood.

Sitting on the sand, i took a handful of sand and threw it in the air. The cool breeze of the shore gave a comforting touch to what i thought was left (if any) of my heart.

As i looked at the sky, a tiny smile started forming at the corner of my mouth but soon was wiped out by the chilly air of the night.

The few stars shone brightly unconcerned of their tiny size. For a moment, i wished i was just like a star who gave her light wholeheartedly to the universe without ever getting nothing in return and still never complaining. but Again, the thought of being a shooting star shuddered my whole body. It sure didn't seem like a fun experience falling all the way from the sky and maybe to the ocean.

" Beautiful, carefree,generous......." I thought out loundly gazing at the stars with passion.

"It's such a beautiful view, isn't it?" A voice said from my back. I recognised that voice perfectly. I thought it was just my Emagination. It couldn't be her.

It was about four years since i last saw her. It couldn't be her! It never could. She was certainly far away in a place she only knew.

I hadn't expected to see anyone, let alone her at these time of the night. I could have bet that it was just a dream but my freezing cheeks suggested otherwise.

"Yes it is Sherry,..... What are you doing here all alone at this time of the night?" I said turning to face her.

It really was her. I just couldn't help but notice how She looked even more gorgeous in this darkness.

"Hmm?. I'm not alone Zeddy" she said sarcastically sitting on the sand next to me. "I'm with this hot muscular guy who could easily shread me into mince meat in just a second if he felt like it."

"If that is me you are talking about then i must be a new breed of a bear" i tried joking but i could bet it sounded much like a complain.

"I didn't know you are back. " i pointed out trying to start a conversation.

"It's my third day back." she replied almost immediately. "I came home on Monday but i haven't walked out my house since."

"Well, that explains why no one knows you are back." i uttered. "But you didn't know i was here, did you?"

" How could i not know?. Have you forgotten that prophet Isaiah was my dad's grandpa? " She joked starting to chuckle but turned her face into a serious one when i didn't laugh.
