The Girl That Just Was.

 

As I walked up to the bus stop I saw someone else waiting for the bus. I didn’t think much of it because there are just odd people out at night. As I wanted up and I got closer I noticed it was a girl. She looked around 16. She was wearing all black. Like most teens now a days. She had a lot of make-up on but it looked great on her face. As I looked closer to her face it looked like she had been crying or was crying right now.

            “I can’t believe this.” She said. But she wasn’t talking to me she was talking more to herself then anyone.  

“Um are you alright?” I asked. But I didn’t say it that loud so I didn’t thing she could hear me.  I guess she hear me because as soon as I looked away from her and was looking at the street, hoping the bus would show up so I wouldn’t have to talk to her and show her how much of a nerd I am.

            “Are you talking to me?” I guess she had been crying before getting to the bus stop because it didn’t sound like she had been crying. No, it sounded like she had be yelling to much and she couldn’t talk to much anymore.

            “Yes I was, I just noticed that you were crying, and um… I wanted to make sure you were okay. It’s late and all.” I couldn’t even believe that a girl this pretty was really looking and talking to me. And she seemed somewhat nice.

            “How do I no your not a killer or something that’s just making small talk before killing me?” I could tell by the way she was smiling that it was a joke. But I think at the same time she was trying not to believe what she was saying.

            “I’m not a killer. If I was, I wouldn’t pick a bus stop to make small talk just before I killed someone. I would want your last talk with a real person to be nice and something you’ll probably always want to remember. Not just a talk about how your doing and your live is over. What fun is that?” I couldn’t believe I was talking to a girl like this. Most of the time I just talk to Jude like this. And if I talk to him like this, he kind of just looks at me like I’m going to kill him. As soon as the last word left my mouth I wanted to take it all back because she seemed scared that I really was going to kill her or something. “Look, it’s just really late out and you seem like you need someone to talk to. I just thought maybe you would be okay with that. I guess not huh?” I wasn’t acting like myself. I felt like something was coming over me and I couldn’t understand it. I felt like I could take on the world and I didn’t care how I did it or what happened to me.

            “Trust me, your normal to me tonight. I believe anything could happen to me.” She stopped looking at me and was now looking down the street looking to see if she could see the bus because I assume she didn’t want to talk to me anymore. “Look, thanks for caring even if you don’t have a clue who I am.” She looked at me like I was a little kid getting in problem and she couldn’t believe it.

            “So tell me. What’s been so wrong with your night?” Just trying to make her talk because it seemed like if I didn’t she was going to run away and I was really worried about her. A lot for someone I just started talking to you no?

            “It’s my boyfriend. I was going to sleepover at his place tonight because he was having a party. Just a few friends over to watch some movies you no? Things started going wrong and he started wanted to have sex.” She stopped looking at me. It was like she didn’t want to talk about it anymore.

            “You no if you don’t want to tell me that’s fine. I’m just trying to help.” I put a little smile on my face hoping it might just make her happy for just a little. It kind of seemed like it was helping. “I’m not going to make you tell me.”

            “Thank you. Let’s just say I ended up leaving okay?’ She started playing with her feet. You no the way people play with there feet when there waiting for something big to happen.

            “So… where you going anyways?” and just as I said it the bus was coming down the street. “Never mind the bus is here.” We both got on the buses. I was walking to the back of the thinking back she was going to be at the front of the bus. But she was right behind me like a little lost dog.

            “You don’t mind me talking to you for a little do you? I kind of feel a little lonely and you just seem pretty sweet to me.” She said with this little cute voice. The kind of voice a little kid makes to get there way.

            “Sure. I don’t mind talking to someone on the bus. It’s better then not talking at all right?” I started looking out the window. “I’m not the kind of person that really talks to people a lot. I’m really the guy that’s in the back of the classroom and does his own things you no?” As I looked back at her she was fast asleep. I was kind of scared to wake her up but I didn’t want to leave her on the bus so I made up my mind to wake her up just before I got off the bus.

She looked so beautiful sleeping on the bus. And the way I was sitting I could smell her hair. The wind was pushing the small closer and closer to me. She smelled like apples. The green apples. The kind I would get out at my family farm where we had trees and trees full of them and I would spend a whole day picking apples and eating as much as I could.

            “Hey, you getting off anytime soon? My last stop is coming up soon.” Said the bus driver. He was a pretty big guy. I guess to be a bus driver at night it’s better to be a big guy. Just in case someone tries to plus a fast one on you.

            “Oh yeah, my stop is the 2^nd last stop. Umm… I’m not to sure about her.” I asked her where she got off at the bus stop but I said never mind. I should have asked again.

            “You better wake her a*s up and find out.” The light we had been waiting at went green. Could I wake her up? What if we missed her stop? What would she do?

            “Umm… miss…. Ummm…. Miss?” I said picking her. Trying to get her up.

            “Ohh my god… was I sleeping? Ohh I’m so sorry.”  She trying to wake herself up faster.

            “yeah you do. And it’s fine. The bus driver said we’re getting close to his last stop. Where do you get off?”

            “Umm… god I feel dumb. I don’t really have anywhere to go tonight. I told you I was sleeping over my boyfriends place. Well… I kind of live there and I left him. I don’t have any family anymore.” She was going red in the face. I wasn’t sure it was from the wind from the window or it was because she didn’t want to tell me what she said.

            “You want to come to my place?” I couldn’t believe I was saying it. Why had my mouth been saying things my mind never told it too?

            “Do you really mean that? It would only be for one night. I’ll be out of your hair as soon as I wake up.”

            “yes I mean it. I never say anything I don’t mean.” The bus stopped and me and the girl got off the bus. “I told you I wasn’t a killer didn’t I?” I said as we walked down the street closer and closer to my house.

            “That you did. And now I guess I believe you.” She kind of gave me a smile but it seemed like she was to tired to make it stay on her face for to long. We stopped talking because I wanted to make she I got her to my place and I got her in some kind of bed for her to sleep.

            “Don’t you think..”

            “Stop talking. You need to sleep. Don’t worry about anything. I’ll take care of you tonight.” I said with so much love in my voice. I still couldn’t believe what I was saying and doing for this girl I’ve never seen before. We walked in to my yard and in to my house. All the lights were off. My mom was out for the night with some guys so I knew she wouldn’t be home to care about who I had over. I walked the girl over to my bedroom to help her in to my bed.

            “Is this your room?” she said really softly.

            “Yes but tonight it’s your bed. I’ll sleep somewhere else.” I said as I put her in bed.

            “No, it’s your bed too. Sleep beside me tonight. I don’t know who you are and I don’t know how you can be so caring to someone you’ve never seen before tonight but I don’t want you to sleep someone else.” She closed her eyes but I could tell she meant every word that came out of her mouth.

            “I’ll only sleep in the same bed with me if you tell me something.” I said with my face so close to hers. I could small more then just the green apples. I could small her skin. I could feel the heat that was coming off her body.

            “What’s that?” When she talked I wanted to kiss her. I’ve never wanted to kiss someone as much as I wanted to kiss her right now.

            “Tell me, you won’t leave me in the morning?” I closed my eyes waiting for her to say no but she didn’t say a word to me. She opened her eyes really wide and she kissed me. It was the kind of kiss you see in the movies when the two people fall in love and it’s the kind of love no one understand. That’s the kind of kiss it was.

            “I’ll been here tomorrow… and the day after. As long as you want me here.” And with that she fell asleep. And I fell asleep right beside her. And I fell asleep beside her every night after that. She was the other ½ of me.
