"You know I still have that box you gave me the bow back in." I said stating the fact not really asking a question. "You did.. you actually kept it all these years? You know I wrote a note on the back of the wrapping paper?" "You did... really? I have it right now ill look at it. If you haven't already guessed I carry it around with me everywhere its my lucky charm."I said pulling the old box out of my purse. I carefully unwrapped the paper and took it off the box. I looked at him and back at the paper and turned it around. Sure enough there was a note on the back of it.
You were my rock. You helped me threw everything. Now it's my turn to return the favor. I walked all the way back to get this bow for you. On the way to find it I kept thinking how lucky I was to be your friend or just to be in your presence. I hope you will some day figure out how much I love you. Your everything a guy could ever imagine. Thank you for being there for me. -love, Seth P.S. sorry for the handwriting.
I read it at least a hundred times. When I looked up at him I could see that he meant what he said.I reached up and kissed him on the cheek and huged him close and he didn't let go of me."I meant every word I said and I will always love you." He wispered in my ear. He held me and stroked my hair and wispered things in my ear.I drifted away by the sound of his voice.
When I awoke I was lying on a very uncomfortable hospital couch. When I looked over I saw my mom twitching and stirring in her bed. The doctor said she would be able to go back home tomorrow. I walked over to her and grabbed her frail and cold hand. She was skinnier than normal.Her face was pale and even though she was only 46 she had a couple of wrinkles and a little bit of grey hair. But she was still beautiful.
I started to talk to my mom." I remember when I was little and you used to sing me My Little Sunshine every night. Those day's are so lost. You just wait though mom one day it will all be better. We will get through this." I kept talking most of it didn't make any sence.But then I got to thinking...what if.... I instantly broke down in tears. I fell to the ground on my knee's and covered my face with my hand's.
I kept thinking that it couldn't be true. That this couldn't be happining. Befor I realized what I was doing I started rocking back and forth plugging my ears with my hands and repetadly saying no.Everything came racing back the divorce the shock of my mom lying on my bathroom floor the agony of my father....everything.
I guess I must have passed out from all the stress because when I woke up I was lying on the cold tiled floor.I looked up and saw Seth trying to tell me something. His face was full of worry and curiosity."what." I could see his mouth moving but I couldn't make out what he was saying.
He scooped me up and layed me on the couch with my head on a pillow on his lap.I stared up at him and tried to speak but I couldn't the words wouldn't come out. I wanted so badly to tell him thank you and that I loved him to. He must have noticed my struggle because he shook his head and put his fingure over his lip's telling me to stop trying to talk.
I don't know how much time passed but all of the sudden all the sounds of Seth talking my mom stirring in her hospital bed and the doctors bustling about came flooding back into my ears."Seth can you say something real quick." I asked in the wierdest way possible. " Well for starters what happened to you? I just went to go get some coffee and when I came back you were lying on the floor shouting no." He said. The emotions crossing his face where both scared and concerned."I don't know exactly I was just thinking about my mom then.....You know that box I told you about.. The one that I keep tightly wrapped so that I don't remember everything that happened.?" "Yeah what about it?" He asked really curiouse.
"well it's like that box just broke open and by doing that it broke me apart.All the things stored in that box just...it just..." I couldn't get the words out. I kept choking over them. Instead of telling me everything was going to be ok because it wasn't he just held me closer." I will never let go of you. I will always be there for you."
