Me and Kim were heading off the bridge, and I decided to walk him home instead. He tried to convince me to let him walk me home, but I knew he wasn't in the right mind, so this way was better. As we were walking I was clinging onto his hand, like I didn't want him to get away from me. He didn't seem to mind or care because he never asked or told me to remove my hand.
"Are-are you okay?" He asked. I looked at him confusingly, and questioningly pointed to myself. He nodded in response. "I figured you were pretty shaken up back there." He said. "Oh no I'm fine." I said shrugging it off jokingly. This answer didn't fit well with him. He looked as if I just insulted his whole family. "Why are you lying?" He asked insulted. " I hate it when people lie to me, and I can tell right now that you're lying." I stared at him blankly. I mean was I okay? I was still pretty shaken up, but I couldn't tell him that. Should I tell him that?
No he's probably still dealing with... I don't know.. stuff. I chose to lie again, and brush it off. "Psh don't be ridiculous. I'm fine." "You're still lying." He said shoving it in my face.
*Outside his place*
I was expecting to drop him off home, and keep going but he had other plans. "Wait here." He ordered. I grabbed his wrist and whirled him around. "Excuse me sir, where do you think you're going? I gotta get home." I said very sassily. "I'll just be a minute. I'm gonna run in, and run out." He said pointing at his house. Well I didn't have a life to live, but of course he couldn't know that. "Fine make it quick, I have a very important life to live." I said flipping my hair behind my shoulders. He chuckled and ran inside.10 minutes later
I was pacing back and forth, as my thoughts became louder. Every now and then I would be tempted to open the door and rush inside, but fear also got the best of me. I was biting my nails as I contemplated which move to make next, but before I could even think of anything he waltzed outside like nothing happened. I looked angry, and worriedly at him. "What's wrong?" He asked staring into my eyes. I blinked a few times confused. "I-I.. what?" Was the only word I could pull out of my mouth. He smirked. "I came inside, had to use the bathroom, zoned out while I was on the toilet, washed my face off with some water to clear my head, grabbed my phone, and here we are." He said everything in one breath. "Oh." I said. "TMI but oh."Kim's POV
"I'll just be a minute. I'm gonna run in and run out." I said. Trying to run inside before she could see the tears forming in my eyes. She let me go, and as soon as I shut the door I sobbed in my arm sleeve. I slid down on the floor while my back was pressed against the door. The words that she said to me on that bridge, they way I could tell she meant it all, it made me find a purpose to live. The way she wrapped her arms around me, it was like a mom's hug something I haven't gotten in a long time. Thinking about it only made me sob harder.I spent 5 minutes crying, and the other 5 minutes in the bathroom to make sure my eyes weren't red anymore, and that they originally returned to their original white color. When everything was good, I walked out of the bathroom, got my phone, and I met her outside.
Kim's POV over~
I don't know where we were going, but I liked this nice stroll that we were taking, until I didn't. The road we were walking on turned into a very bad side of town. Homeless people roamed the streets, graffiti and trash everywhere, women showing off all their skin as men cat called them. I grabbed unto Kim's arms, and noticed that the sleeve was kind of wet. I was going to ask him about it, if we weren't walking past a bunch of homeless people. They were huddled by a bin that had fire in it. The gazes slowly lifted up to see mine. I tightly gripped his sleeve, and buried my face in his arms. "It's okay." He said gently rubbing my back. It made me feel better, but I just wanted to leave."Don't worry we are about to cut a corner, and you'll see." He said like he has done this a hundred times. The homeless people became less and less, and we were walking down a dark alley, and then up ahead we saw some light. My grip around his arm loosened the more the light became brighter. We walked up a bunch of stairs, covered in grass and moss. A few people were even coming down the steps like they had been on top. Wait people actually walk through all that...that mess?! I yelled at myself.
My legs were tired, I was out of breath, and my fatigue was awful. At this point I didn't even care about looking cute in front of him, I just wanted to see where we were going and to know if it was worth it or not. "Ugh how much longer?" I whined. "We're here." He said calmly. I looked up, and I was speechless. Staring up at us, was the entire city!! The whole thing! It was so much movement, it was like the city was alive. It was beyond words. "Definitely worth the pain huh?" He said cockily beside me, as he stared out at the city. "Yeah." I said dreamily. I quickly snapped out of it. "Wait! No it was not! You took me through the worst part of town, made me climb thousands of stairs and you want me to say it was worth it?!" I yelled. He looked flustered. "Because if that's the case... you are absolutely right." He sighed relieved that he didn't piss me off too badly. "I mean look at it, I would climb to the ends of the earth to see this." I joked. But then I remembered something. "Hey Kim why was your sleeve wet?" I innocently asked, but he didn't look at me, so I figured it was a wrong question to ask. "I mean it's fine if you got water on it or something. No judgement." I smiled at him, even though he never looked down at me. I continued to stare out at the city. "God creates the most wonderful things." I said randomly. I felt his gaze heavily on me, and I looked up to see that he was giving me a sour look. It dawned on me. "You're... an atheist?" I asked. He stared out into the city, and I took his silence as a yes. "Why if you don't mind me asking?". He just shrugged. "Well if you have any questions I'm here to answer. No judgement." I smiled at him sweetly, and we enjoyed the rest of the scene of the busy city below.
