CONTEST ENTRY.
I pulled back the window curtain and watched out my window as the tear shaped rain fell from the sky. I couldn't help but feel sad . I miss Joe. Tears stung my eyes but I didn't bother holdong them back. I just let tear after tear fall. Finally- me and the world agree on something. "I love you" I whispered to myself, part of me hoping he would actually hear it. I love him so much. I can't just sit here and do nothing when I feel like I'm dieing inside. I need to find him. I let go of the window curtain and ran out of my room, almost running into the staircase railing.I didn't bother holding onto it and ran down the stairs two-by-two. "Taylor!" I heard mom yell. "Yes?!" I yelled back grabbing my favorite boots out of the closet. The ones that had 'Taylor' written on it in a pinky-purpley colour. "Where are you going?" she asked. The question hit me like cold water balloon on a 90 degree day, when I realized I had no idea. "Be back soon!" I answered, my voice cracking. Before she could tell me it was raining I grabbed the handle ran outside like my life depended on it. I watched the rain for a second on the porch- and then I started running. The rain was cold and I could barely see where I was going. I could actually care less where I was going. I just ran. I ran to where my instinct told me to go. Where my body said I should move. My eyes had nothing to do with it, they were too busy crying. I kept running 'till my lungs hurt. I couldn't breathe and I was choking back tears and the same time. I was exhausted. I stopped and turned around and looked at the rows of houses that surrounded me. I kept twirling around. "Wh-where.." I said. I stared getting dizzy, so I decided to stop and when I did my knees gave out and landed right on the sidewalk. I just layed and let the rain pool around me as I slowly faded in to a deep, dark place. "Joseph, were leaving now." Mom said to me. "Ok. See you. Love you." She kissed my forehead and her, Frankie, Dad, Nick and Kevin left. Love I said to myself. Love is something shared between two people that cannot be broken. Love can bring any two people from anywhere together. A word way over used and overlooked by those who don't really know what love is. Love is a gift from God and its ridiculous how many people just throw it away. And I had it. Tears stung my eyes and I would have let them fall if it werent for Kevin who just slipped back inside. "Huh?" I asked stupidly. "Joe, I just wanted to say Im sorry about you and Taylor. I know she loves you, and I know you love her...I'm sorry man." Kevin said. "I know", I said quietly "Its okay. You go to the movie. I'm gonna-". Just then I heard something thud outside. "Did you hear that?" I asked."No...anyways Joe, Im gonna go. Good luck." "Thanks." I said. I went outside to see what the sound was. I stopped in my tracks as if there was a brick wall in front of me as all the air left my lungs, my eyes fixed on a soaked Taylor on the sidewalk. "TAYLOR! TAYLOR!" I screamed. Oh my God, please make her be alive. She has to be alive. I dropped to my knees and leaned in. She looked so pale and cold. I shook her. "Taylor! Taylor," , I cried. "Please, baby, please. Taylor wake up!" Her arm jerked a bit. I gasped. I quickly picked her up and carried her bridal-style inside the house. I carried her up the steps to the front door carefully because I didnt want to drop her, and the rain made it worse. I looked at her, long blonde hair. She looked like Cinderella. Once we were inside I brought her upstairs and into my room. I layed her on my bed. "Tay. Taylor, baby. Please, please wake up." I tried shaking her a little again. I stared at her. I watched as I saw her chest raise, and fall! YES! SHES OKAY! 'Okay Joe. Calm down.' I went to my dresser and took out a shirt I thought would be too big for Taylor and some shorts. I went over to the side of the bed. "Well", I said. "I cant just leave her in those clothes." I slowly pulled her shirt over her head. I rolled her over a bit so I could un-hook her bra. I slid dry shirt over her head. She coughed. I woke up and my body ached all over. Joe. Joe? JOE! "OH MY GOD...JOE?!WHERE..HOW DID YOU KNOW..THE SHIRT..." I didnt even care. I wraped my arms around his shoulders and tackled him. "I missed you so much Joe. You dont know how much I missed you. I love you so much. Im so sorry. I love you and I mean it." "Taylor" he said. "I love you too. I missed you so much. I know Ive said I love you so many times, but now I really know what love is. Its you." And we layed in bed, hugging, and telling eachother how much we love eachother over and over.
