Wake up (BrightWin)

B r I g h t's

The wind blows so coolly and the rain is falling heavily. I left the library running as if someone is chasing me. My white long sleeve shirt, my bag, got wet.

I would rather be drowned in the sea of sadness rather than dive into the sea of happiness. Once you are happy, there will be always consequences. You are free to choose but you're not free from the consequences of your choice. When I was a kid, My mom and I used to live happily. It was my birthday and mom got involved in a shooting incident. I blamed myself for what happened to her.

Like the raindrops, tears from my eyes started to fall too. Why am I so affected when it was just a dream? The memories of the past come rushing back to me

The streets are covered by darkness but I continued walking and walking until I can feel the cool breeze of the air lingering on my skin. Streetlights are the only thing which gives brightness to the surrounding. As I continued walking, I can merely saw a guy walking in front of me,

He looks so familiar and he suddenly popped into my mind and I recognized him

It's the guy from the bench and library who stopped in front of me with his dark blue umbrella. I can't see his face clearly but I'm pretty sure it's the nuisance guy who keeps on popping into my life. He walked towards me and he shared his umbrella with me

"Why do you keep on following me?" I stepped closer to him. His face was too close to mine and I can almost hear him breathing

"It's just a coincidence that we are on the same street." He glances at me and suddenly avoids my eye contact. "It's your lucky day," he said.

"Are you blushing?" I teased him and accidentally held his hands.

My heart beats so fast. Am I crazy? No. maybe I'm just exhausted. You shouldn't allow your emotion to control your decision. Sometimes, it might cause a bigger problem. My heart beats so fast because of the stress I've been carrying in my whole life and the pain covering my soul.

"Mr., what are you doing? Can you let go of my hands?" He shyly asked me and move backward because I could say that our position was too awkward for a stranger. He looks so furious and you can notice it because of his eyebrows. How cute.

"What do you want from me?" I cooed while brushing my wet hair using my fingers.

The street wasn't only filled with darkness but also silence and awkwardness between us standing in the middle of the rain. It feels like this is a scene from a cliché movie where the main characters will tell their affection for each other.

"I want you"

And the street was now filled by the loud heartbeat of mine. Damn man, this is not the right time.

"I want you to go home and take a rest." He continues and my face turned into a facade as if I wasn't expecting any from him.

"I want you to stop following me" I looked at him viciously and left him.

What am I expecting? What's wrong with me? He's nothing but a stranger.
