Those Freckles

Everything is a lie

The last thing i remember was hearing a teenage boy's voice scream "WHAT THE FUCK MAN YOU RAN HER OVER !" & i assume i was the girl being ran over.

I opened my eyes to see myself in a hospital room & i realize that I'm alone...

How could Matt not even notice his girlfriend was missing? Hopefully he was down stairs getting food or something.

I heard the knob begin to turn & i was really hoping Matt came out. Instead it was another figure.

He looked at me & sexily smiled. I knew who this was. & i couldn't believe it.

Cameron Mica Boyce, was in my hospital room smiling at me. I tried not to overreact so i just looked him in the eye with confidence & smiled back.

"You're smile is almost as gorgeous as you. Wait, nope, equal gorgeousness." He said.

I giggled from his witty comment & said, "Its not like i want you to leave or anything, but why are you here?"

"Oh yeah.. well i was driving around Orlando, & all of a sudden i just heard a BANG & saw someone on the floor. I didn't know what to do except call 911. I held you until the ambulance came, & stayed with you the whole ride. You're a very peaceful sleeper." He chuckled.

"Aw well thanks. Being in a coma really does that to a girl." I said trying to be as equally funny.

He then put on a serious face. "Oh" he emotionlessly said, "A guy about 14 with dirty blonde hair named Matt i think? Yeah, he left a note..."

So Matt knew I was here but couldn't even stay with me? This is sad. I really didn't feel like reading the note, but i wanted Cameron to read it for me. I was too scared.

"Yeah, sure" he said with out any emotion.

Why do i feel like a bright yellow crayon in a world filled with gray crayons? I thought to myself.

Then, i started to feel more like a gray crayon.

I cried- no, more like bawled my eyes out for 15 minutes.

The note read,

"Dear Ashlynn,
I realized you were gone, believe me. When i heard all these sirens outside i was like what the hell? I went outside & found out you got hit. This guy was carrying you so i figured he hit you. I started yelling at him then realized it was pointless. You obviously got hit because of me. If i didn't go that far with you in the first place, you wouldn't have wanted to leave. I didn't go to the hospital because... I'm breaking up with you Ashlynn. I'm sorry. I'm making this decision for you, not me. I loved you dearly. But everything has a beginning & an ending. Looks like our fairy-tale ended a little too early my princess. I will never forget our first kiss, & i will never forget you.
Sincerely,
Matthew 😔"

I kept crying until there was nothing left to cry about. It was clear, i had a lucky moment, & lost something i truly cared about not because i was dumb, but because he wasn't worth keeping.

Cameron looked at me & his voice started cracking up.

"The doctors said you could leave tomorrow, if you want, maybe i could treat you for a movie date? I mean, i know that you couldn't finish your last one with that jerk, maybe i could make your fairy tale extend?" Said Cameron.

Was he really flirting? I've been waiting fir this my whole life & honestly, it feels even more magical than i imagined.

"I would be honored to Cameron." I kinda blushed, but he came over, kissed my cheek, & sat down on the chair to sleep.

"I'm in love again", i thought, "& nothing could ever feel as real as this." I smiled & fell asleep happy, that maybe, just maybe, those freckles could turn this sad, boring, grey life, into a fun, happy, yellow crayoned life.
