When It Rains

By Till Tonight Do Us Part

Prologue


I sat down and let the raindrops rush over me, the cleansing raindrops being just what I needed to get my thoughts in order. As the terrible visions of what I just saw haunted me as I sat on the swing, the pitter patter of the drops echoing on my body and the blacktop around me. I would save the tears for up in my room later tonight.

My mother used to tell me when I was little that when it rained it meant that someone's life was changing and it was our job to hope that it was for the better. As I sat here now, feeling helpless and alone, I was hoping that my life was changing for the better and that I really didn't need him. Yet I knew, like any other person knows, is that healing is hard, I would miss him, and that he would always be apart of my memories. Sadly I wasn't making it any better for myself because I was sitting in a park awash with memories of me and that dirty, foul, scum of the earth, who I had previously called my boyfriend. Well I guess I just liked to cause my self more and more pain.

I sat and I tried to quiet my thoughts for a minute and just enjoy the rain because I wouldn't be enjoying the cold I had in the morning. So as I focused on the drops trailing down my brown sugar colored skin I imagined myself melting and flowing away. This calmed me as I thought of how much of an exciting existence water had, being able to everywhere at once experiencing what the world had to offer. It was like spreading ashes to me in a way.

Tired of just sitting down I walked out of the park and let my feet lead me wherever they wanted. Funnily enough as I found out about 15 minutes later they led me to the ice cream parlor my parents owned and the person that I was subconsciously led to, my mom. Yet, as I looked inside I couldn't will myself to tell her what happened, I couldn't bear to see her face when I told her what happened, she had liked him. I walked away my shoulders slumping and the tears I was fighting to hold at bay slipping out drop by drop. As I swiped my eyes and looked at where I was I found that I was standing in front of my home which was about an hours walk from the ice cream parlor. So I let myself into the gate that led to the backyard of our house and sat under the tree in the back of the house crying my eyes out. My siblings were in daycare at the moment and my parents were manning the shop, no one would hear my cries of agony as I mourned my heart that was treaded upon almost three hours ago.

As my tears subsided I felt exhausted and I let my swollen eyes close to welcome a short nap.


A/N: Well I'm back and I'm really sorry that it has taken me a year and change to come back to this story.

At first I had lost sight of my vision for this story but now I'm back and the second chapter will be up in the next two weeks.

Just leave a review about what you think of how it changed and if you like it or not.
