Forever Together

Chapter 10

I've never felt sicker than ever until after reading the comment section. Ironically, these same comments, helped me go to sleep.

------

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling just as sick as before. I could feel my throat all chocked up, while it felt like my stomach was twisting in 15 different ways.

I got out of the bed, not daring to disturb Kotarou who is in the same bad as me. I walked up to the window and started up at the moon. I just now realized that the window was unlocked and one could sneak in and out of the room.

I remembered that there was a park nearby, maybe that will help me.

I got a pair of shoes that I had already in my room, so I didn't have to go all the way to the front door to get my shoes and accidentally make some noise. I made sure that Kotarou was fast asleep. I put a pillow next to him, making it seem that it was me instead.

I tip toed to the window after putting the shoes on, and as quiet as possible I open the window. I saw that it was quite cold outside, so I had to hurry to exit the room, so none of the cold wind could enter the room.

One leg followed the other as I escaped through the window.

Luckily, I made no sound and woke no one up during so. I quietly close the window back up and start making my way to the nearby park.

The street was quiet as I walked down the sidewalk. The cold air ran through my hair, making me feel like I was staring in a music video scene. I kept my head down looking at the sidewalk, keeping my steps in a pattern for every block that I walked on.

After a few minutes I made it to the park. I saw a tree that could hide me from drive by cars, so I decided to walk up towards it to clear my thoughts.

Unlucky me though, someone was already there.

The person sitting there was staring at the moon and got startled by my sudden footsteps.

"I'm sorry!" I apologize.

"It's fine, don't worry about it." The boy replys with.

There was an awkward silence and tension between us, until he decided to speak up.

"So... what brings you here?" He asks.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to open up to a total stranger on why I was there, but yet again he seems like a middle schooler so there's no chance we may ever meet again.

"You can sit besides me you know, but you don't have to." He offers.

I take his request and sit next to him.

"So? How old are ya? You look like a high schooler, what year are you in?" He asks intrigued.

"I'm in my 2nd year of high school." I tell him.

"Me too!" He exclaimed.

I was shocked by his response, because he literally looks like a middle schooler.

"Shocking right? So why are you here tonight?" He asks again.

"Oh, I felt sick."

"Shouldn't you be in bed then?" He asks while he holds a blunt in his hands.

"Wait quick question do you mind if?" He says while point at the blunt asking if it's ok for him to smoke it.

I nod my head giving him permission.

He takes a hit and blows out the smoke. He then takes a joint out and offers it to me.

"Do you want?" He offers.
