I wait for someone to answer the phone with little hope. Finally the voicemail picks up.
"Hey this is Raine, sorry I'm not there at the moment, leave a message!"
I close my eyes at the sound of her voice. After the beep I take a deep breath. "Hey, Raine," I pause for a moment. "Honestly I just called to hear your voice. I miss you."
I click the phone off and throw it on the table before I can lose it. Running my hands over my face, I sit, staring out the window. After about ten minutes I get up and leave the apartment. The rain had finally stopped, now there were just puddles- memories of the rain. Like the memories of rain. Raine.
I didn't exactly know where I was going, but I let my feet lead me to Raine's pirate ship. Or maybe it was our pirate ship now. I climb up the damp ladder to the top, and stop. On one side of the pirate ship there was a place where the wood was broken. At first glance I figure it had just broken because of the storms, but when I walk over to get a closer look I see that that is not the case.
The wood is broken, but it looks as though it had been broken forcefully. I lean over the edge and look down at the pond to see the broken pieces of wood, and something else. I hurry down the ladder and walk around to the pond. Carefully I reach out and pick it up.
It was an old left-foot Vans. In any other situation I would have not given it a second thought, but this is familiar. This is Raine's shoe.
