She looked at her friend. Her best friend of all of them that she had. No one quite compared to her. They had sum problems…yeah who hasn't. But there was just something that made them feel guilty. Being in that particular neighborhood you had to knoe who you could count on if you could count on ani one. If you didn't that could be a deadly decision. Being that they wouldn't give a shit about you and they would rat you out or just simply not give a fuck about what happened. Through out all this years they stood by each other. Fighting for each other makin sure that at least they had themselves to take care of them if need be. They were truthful to the extent where it hurt but still said it so it wouldn't be held back on them. That night with tears in their eyes they remember where one of their friends lost their life. Where they first met, the place they hanged out , the park were countless memories where made and where they saw fire works at. They tried to hold them back but the tears had a mind of their own. They looked at the stars and she said, "When you look at the stars…remember I am too, when you start to feel this life is worthless remember I will kick your ass if you did anithin bad to yourself…when sum one screws you over call and we'll b there to kick their ass….when you just feel homesick…DUMBASS just call….god your slow. laughs and cries . and most important come back..doesn't matter if it's 10 or 20 years later…just come back.." She looked at her friend and said, " and I thought you weren't the sentimental type!" trying to stop crying. He saw that his gurl was crying and he held her hand. She felt his warm hands reaching for hers. His skin was rough but still some how soft. He held her hands tight but not tight enough to hurt her. She looked straight into his eyes. Trying to smile, trying not to think how much she would miss this, trying to enjoy it. He wiped the tears away and kissed her forehead. She told him, " don't ever let go plz!" He just look into her eyes and didn't even have to speak. His warm welcoming eyes said the words from his lips, they said I couldn't even if I tried baby your mine and always will be don't you get it?. She wished life could stay still for this moment and never let him go. She told him, "I knoe..but I just needed to hear it. " She put her head on his shoulder hearin his heart beat. Hearin the beat of her life and it goin slow to fast..she got worried looked up at him and saw how much it was hurting him. It barely hit him. Last time they will b like this. Last time it will stay like that. Last. That word that you learned in elementary that you had to put at nearly the end of your sandwich essay. But how could that word have the power to hurt people so badly. Words are way to powerful for ani ones good. This time he looked and with his eyes he saw his worst fear. Losing her . She couldn't stand looking in his eyes. His eyes looked as gentle as a scared kid looking at you for answers that you can't find. She turned away and hugged him as tight as she could. She let her tears go down her cheeks. She wanted him to knoe how difficult it was for her to do this too. It wasn't just him hurting. This changed her life completely. He was the only guy that she confided everythin and anithin to. They stayed like that for a while. She saw her friend getting up and she let go whole telling him that she'll b back. She grabbed her hand and her friend said," Now don't go doing stupid stuff over there. Make sure you make it worth this pain. And if you start to fuck around over there..it will be the first time I was disappointed in you …ever.." She as trying to laugh to mask the tears. She said, " who kidnapped you? God how do you knoe all this big words?… knoe I won't..i could never do that to you. Ever. They said their farewells. And she went back to sit with him. He was laying down. With his shirt pulled up so she could see his six-pack. With his dickie black pants, gray white t and his necklace of Jesus on it. His hair was short but still long enough to pull. His face soft in complexion and to the touch. His hands behind his head just starin up. She was gonna jump on him but he looked at her with playful eyes. She knew what he was gonna say. She said, " Yeah I do like my surprise..you don't even have to ask.." He just smiled and she laid on her back and her head on his chest. His heartbeat was so calming she could fall asleep on it. He got up a little trying not to disturb her and kissed her fore head. His kiss was so soft and sweet she wished it would never end. But all good things end.. to quickly. She looked into his eyes…seemed like she always does but it's the only way she could read him. Knoe what really was up and what he really felt. They walked to the park. The park where they first kissed, first have an actual date, when they fought first time. The park seemed to lonely. She ran to the swings and got on it. He hurried up and pushed her. She liked going up but not down. He saw her face…every time she went down little by little her smile where away. So he held he up until his arms were numb and she told him to let go. She told him to go on the swing next to her and pushed each other to the side and backwards & forwards. She looked at him and said, " Do you remember.." before she could he grabbed her and pulled her to him. He whispered to her ear. " Mijalike sayin baby I remember every single word you said to me. Every time we laughed and cried. I remember it all and don't regret shit. Cuz Linda,beautiful it was all with you" She smiled and he kissed her. She couldn't help but feel a little bit sad knowing that he wouldn't be able to do that whenever he or she felt like it. She pulled him to the swings and she pushed him this time. She pushed him till it go too dark to see. Then he walked her home. They took the long way home of course. Holding hands and kissing at every chance they had. Lookin at everything. She tried making a mental picture of every inch. She didn't want to forget this place. As much bad stuff happened good did too. She wished so much to stay there. But couldn't.
Ugh. Wat eve…still think matha's are way better!
