Curse.A Story by TabbyThe last time I saw you, you were
smiling that half smile that showed your dimples and now all I can see is what
happened between then and now. Some people may say how easy it is to get it off
your chest and be free but for someone like me it isn’t that easy. I guess some
people can’t say that having a dirty secret and it staring you down one day to
the next, dressed in all black. The morning
of May 27th was the day I wouldn’t forget. I was walking down the
bike path to the last day of school when I saw a pair of eyes I have never seen
before. The eyes were dark blue but more black than that. I guess they had an
edge, or a story behind them. Knowing me, I was determined to know that story
and that’s what I did. I walked
over to the bench, books in hand, and looked at you. I could see you so
nervous. Your hands were shaking and your lips trembled when you were about to
speak with Maria interrupting. Maria
started to say something but cut herself off after seeing that no matter what I
wasn’t going to respond. I swear we were staring each other down for at least
three minutes. “May… May I
help you?” You asked with your eyes so wide. “I’m sorry,
I’ve just never seen you before,” I said still staring at you. Maria
pulled me away. I couldn’t help but to stare at you still. “Was that
necessary?” I asked. Maria tried
to yell at me but clearly I wasn’t interested into what she was saying because
I turned around and walked back to him. “I wanna
hangout with you. Today. After school,” I said with the most confidence I’ve
ever had. It took him forever to answer or as it seemed. I could see the
confusing look he had and I wanted an answer so badly. “I don’t
know you but sure,” he said so calm and gentle. That smile you had was so
flawless and it showed every dimple. I looked back for one last look as I
walked away and you smiled, a half smile. After
school that day we went to the park then my house and I got to know you very
easily. You trusted me, but I couldn’t trust you. I knew that this decision was
wrong by the time you were left my doorstep. I can’t help but to think that it
was the end. They told
everyone it was an accident of the death; maybe suicide or overdose. I knew
that this would happen and I didn’t want it to happen, but it did. Never ever
knew the actual cause. Cursed. May 29th
was the day of grief and crying. So many people cried and prayed. I couldn’t
stand to watch any of it. I wouldn’t watch and so I didn’t. I knew who was
there and that’s all. That’s all I needed to know. I always wondered what
happened when you were dead. Do you dream? Watch over people? Now I know. © 2014 Tabby |
