Wish

I closed my eyes, as I wished on a star. As it flew by I made my wish.

 

I wish to have her again.

 

 

I opened my eyes, but nothing happened. I was still in my room, alone while everyone else was having a good time downstairs. I prayed, and wished that night. My wish was to have you again. I lost you years ago, but I want you back. I'll do anything to get to be the one to shelter your heart again. You and I were young but, as this tough life of mine goes on... I think to myself ... You are in a better place now.

 

I closed the certains, when my mother opened my bedroom door.

 

'You were wishing to see her again weren't you?'

She asked.

 

I nodded back at her. I could never forget her. Although it has been so many years, that I can barely grasp the cute image of her face. Blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, and a smile that brightens up anyone's day.

 

I lay in my bed with the bed sheets over my face. My mother kisses my forehead. She whispered in my ear.

 

'She might not come back...but if you keep wishing, and dreaming... anything can happen.'

 

She left the room, with the door open. The light coming out from the hallway was bright. I closed my eyes, trying to sleep. When I closed my eyes, I began to dream.

 

She was swimming with me, in a lake. She was smiling.

 

'I love the lake don't you?'

She said in a soft voice.

 

I smiled, and we both made drawing in the sand. After she finished her drawing, I looked up but didn't see her.

 

'M-mary?'

I looked around the area, but she was nowhere to be found.

 

I woke up, breathing heavily.

 

Tears rolled down my face, because I knew that this wasn't a dream. It was a memory of what happened. We were having fun, when she just vanished. My mother sent out search teams for weeks but they couldn't find her. I loved Mary deeply... she was my besfriend...

 

Get over it... it happened years ago.. It's time to let go. She's never coming back.

 

I stood up all night questioning why she vanished that day. I sat up in my bed.

 

'Why...'

 

I cried, and cried for two weeks every night. I went to my mother for help after that.

 

'But.. it's been so long since I dreamed of her. Why is she appearing in my dreams now?'

I asked.

 

'Maybe, she's closer than you think. Now go on to school.'

She smiled, when she handed me my backpack.

 

I walked to school. When I got there, I saw this blonde girl... She had beautiful blue eyes. She walked up to me.

 

'Hi. I'm new here. Can you show me around?'

She smiled..

 

'Sure.'

 

We walked into class together because she had the same homeroom teacher.

 

'May I ask what your name is?'

I said.

 

'It's Mary. What is your name?'

She said it so calmly.

 

'M-mary? Oh.. my name is Gabe.'

 

Is it really you Mary? Has fate lead you here?

 

During class, all I could think about was Mary. She resemboled the Mary that I knew. She had the same smile, she had the most beautiful voice. I decided to ask her, a few questions.

 

'Who is your mother, and father Mary?'

 

'Oh, I don't know my parents. I have been raised by a man named Adam.'

 

'Adam?'

 

'Yeah. He took care of me when I lost my friends. He never told me why he didn't bring me back.'

 

I gasped as I looked at her again from head-to-toe. I hugged her tightly.

 

'Mary it's me. Gabie. You were with me and my mom, at a lake.'

 

'Gabie? Oh my goodness. I missed you!'

She hugged me back, and smiled.

 

The teacher gave us dirty looks.

 

'Let's talk more after school.'

I said.

 

She nodded.

We meet up under an apple tree. I had brougth her a rose, because I was planing on telling her how I feel.

 

'Mary can I tell you something?'

 

'Sure.'

 

'I love you. I always have.'

 

'Aw. Gabie, you know what... I loved you always too.'

 

We kissed under the tree. The kiss lasted for about a minute. The school bell rang. We got our stuff, and put on our backpacks.

 

'I was wondering... Mary..'

 

'Yes?'

 

'Who is Adam? I mean, is he related to you or something?'

 

'No he is not. Adam Willson, found me. You see this is what happened... I was with you, then some strange man grabbed me and started to drag me away. He threw me into the back of his truck, and he drove away. Adam lived nearby that lake, so when he heard my cries of help... he came and got me out of the truck...'

 

'What!? He just took you with him, and didn't say anything about you to the police?'

 

'Gabie, he gave me shelter. I had no other options.'

 

'You... all those years were right near that area... and they never found you.'

 

 

There was a moment of silence until she spoke.

 

'He said that I'm safer with him...'

 

___________________________________________________________________________

 

While sitting alone in my room, I thought about what she said.

 

'He said that I'm safer with him...'

 

I curled up in a ball, trying to stop thinking about her. I love her, but I don't understand why didn't she come back home, when she knew where to go.

 

I walked outside, as I looked over to my mom's car.

 

Maybe I can end it now...

 

I went back inside, grabbed my mom's car keys, and went to the car. I started the car.

 

I was gonna crash into another car. But when I looked up, Mary was in front of me on the street trying to stop me.

 

Splat!

 

I hit Mary, with the car so, she died...

 

 I've lost who I am.. and I can't understand... why my heart is so broke...

I like the story. I like how you built-up the story with dreams and memories. Create loneliness and memories of a lost friend. I like the ending. A very good ending to a very good story. Thank you for sharing. A excellent story.

I feel like the ending was far too good to be true. The beginning was sweet and simple, and I really enjoyed revisiting the memory, but the ending was so sudden and seemed to betray the story itself. I felt like this was going to be a story about love, loss, and healing, and instead the girl all of a sudden comes back and everything is perfect again.

I would love it if you delved into the sadness and desperation of Gabe and even his mother. Also, when Mary comes back, I want to hear more about Adam and her life while she was gone. This could definitely be a longer story, maybe even a book, and I would enjoy it more that way. This story has a ton of potential!
