     I left campus

I left campus. Ditching school became a habit now a days, to be quite frank, I truly gave no damns anymore. Everything I knew that was good to me, now seemed to be vile, and disgusting.
  I didn't enjoy the things I used to, I didn't smile the way I used to; I didn't even laugh, or breathe the way I used to.
   My heart....
                it didn't beat the way it used to.
The way I used to be, before I met you. Before I stumbled into your world, and instead of me changing you, you changed me. I suppose that is the consequence of falling in love.
   You become so consumed, you're doomed of any kind of savior. The saddest part of it all is, you never realize it. And the ones that do, they choose the feeling of now, rather than the later.
   Because who wants to dwell on a day that hasn't came? We'd rather see, and when asked, we'd lie and say we were blind. 
    We didn't know, it all happened so quickly.
  But we knew.
             We humans, always know.
We are just pros at turning the other way. Lying to ourselves, and lying to those around us to make sure we are alright.
    I keep lying to myself more than anyone.
       But one thing I suppose I don't lie about, is how miserable I am without you Stone.
      Please save me.
           Kicking the gravel, I looked up at the sun cautiously. Afraid it'd burn me, before I burned in my own hell.
      But as I turned back to the ground, I saw the man.
Across the street, waving, happily.
      And I was angry, so I charged after him.
   Not caring a bus was headed my way, I ran.
      Flying by without a care, I tripped and once again I'd fallen somewhere. Yet this time I was awake, and I was still in my time.
      Just time, and everyone surrounding me, was frozen.
      "Ello Grant Everly."
"What do you want from me, and why did you freeze everything?"
"I saved your life! Why must you be so ungrateful child?"
          "Because you, you...you ruined everything! Everything that was good to me you've ruined! And I hate you!"
     Truly appalled by my words, he scoffed. Noticing how clean he was I took a step back, as he, one forward.
     "Stay away from me."
"I can explain this kindly, or I can simply just leave and allow you to be completely ran over by this bus here. Now I prefer the latter since you're disrespectful, but since it has been a direct order, given to me from my boss.
I cannot. Now," taking a deep breathe he grabbed me by my shoulder; and softly dragged me to safety. Once we were on the sidewalk, everything continued, as they were before. Rolling my eyes, I pushed him off, his green eyes were sparkling emeralds, of beauty, and they were truly a gift to look upon.
   "It was brought to my attention, by a very nagging lad, that I went about doing this whole time separation thing completely wrong. And since love isn't really something I wet my beak in, it's been hell for me ever since. I've been told, that I was an insensitive....an insensitive asshole.
   So I thought that I would fix it. Now come."
Deeply confused, I glared at him.
    "Listen, I have been watching you mope, grope, push the very people that care about you away, in this deep, lonely hour, of your heartbreak. And now I'm here to make it right, now you either trust me, or live your life bitterly.
     Because everyone has an alternate future, I've seen yours, and a bitter redhead is not what you really want to be at the age of fifty, okay?"
     "Oh bloody hell, on with it then." Throwing my arms down in a haste, I groaned tiredly.
Following him, he took my hand into his, slowly I closed my eyes sorely afraid. Shortly after our hands collapsed into one another's, a heavy gust of wind slapped me viciously.
     Alright Grant, I whispered to my maddened mind, alright.
