Emily by erin diane (top novels of all time TXT) 📕

“I know you’re there. Come out or moths will bite you.” She said.

I didn’t make any move until silence fills the air. “Got you!” she shouted on my back. “Damn it!” I yelled. She laugh, “I told you to go out in there. Anyway, why are you here?” she asked.

“I think I should ask you the same question. You’re supposed to be in your house not in here.” I exclaimed

She’s just smile at me, “Since you’re here care to join me. I was hoping I could see the sunrise.” She stated.

“Sure.” I answered then smiled at her. I help her to build a tent afterwards we sat there waiting for the sunrise.  She played her violin, the music was a combination of happiness and solitude. “Why are you doing this?” I asked her out of the blue. She finishes her music before answers.

“It’s in my list.” She said.

“You have a list, why?” I asked

“I can tell you but after that you will never talk to me.” She stated

“Never mind” I replied quickly. No, that will be the last thing I wanted to do, I don’t want to stop talking to her.

Emily whispered in my ear, “Sleep”. She plays again her violin while I listening into the music, it sounds like a lullaby. My eyes were beginning to be heavy I fight with it but I can’t take it anymore. I fell into a deep sleep together with Emily playing a music “For you.” I heard her telling those 2 words.

It’s already afternoon when I woke up, I’m hungry. I went down to kitchen and saw my grandma, she was reading something. I kiss her cheeks, after that I grab something to eat, it was tuna sandwich. Yum!

“Where’s grandpa?” I asked, I was enjoying my sandwich playing the mayonnaise in my finger.

“He’s outside.” She replied, a small silence fills the air until she asked me without looking, “So, who’s the girl that brought you?”

Then I remember last night, no this earlier morning I was with Emily in the small forest. She brought me here how come? And then I remembered I was so drank that time she never awaken me. I’m grateful that she brought me here either leaving in that peaceful land. I spent morning with her, without noticing I was smiling to myself. My grandma make a cough to get my attention, “Are you with me?” she asked.

“Yeah, I’m here. She’s, umm… new in school. I caught her earlier this morning going to the small forest and we just stay there waiting for the sunrise.” I said

“And?” she questioned.

“Don’t worry grandma we didn’t do anything we just sat there.” I said quickly

“Really? That’s the first time.” She said.

“She’s different and she makes me different when I’m with her.” I said, yes she did that every time were together. Yes, there’s affection but I don’t know. Silence again fills the air, that’s the first time my grandma was so quiet maybe what I said was so unbelievable.

I finished my food and went off in the kitchen, “Bye grandma.” I said then run off.

I was walking outside but I don’t know where will I go. Then, I decide to go in the park stay there for a while perhaps. As I went nearer, I can feel already the green air, it was so refreshing at the same time it’s so peaceful. When I arrived, I was alone in here the feeling was same as I was in the small forest, I close my eyes until I heard someone was calling me, it was a familiar voice.

“Lanther.” She said, I opened my eyes and it was Emily. Her green eyes were shining; she was wearing her cream sweater and sun dress I guessed and she was smiling at me that made me also smile.

“Hey, Emily.” I said

“May I join in?” she asked

“Yeah, sure.” I replied

She sat beside me still smiling, this girl can be a commercial model at the same time she was blooming. I noticed she was carrying something, it seems her violin or something. Then I remember I should thank her for earlier this morning.

“Umm… thanks for bringing me home” I said

“It’s alright, but next time don’t drink too much if you can’t.” she teased, and then she laughed then I was joining her. This girl can make me laugh a lot, it feels good when I’m hanging around with her.

“Hey, umm… are you free this weekend?” I asked, for the first time I felt very nervous it’s really different with her. Silence occurred between us before she answers.

“Sorry, I can’t I have to do something.” She said

“Oh, no it’s alright…” I said disappointedly

“Sorry it’s just…” she paused then, “complicated”

I look at her curiously waiting for an answer, she’s hiding something but I don’t know, I think it’s really difficult for her to tell. Even I’m disappointed I tried to understand her it’s the least I can do. Right? She stood up and as I could see she looks like disappointed as well.

“I need to go now…” she said

“Okay. It’s alright maybe next time we can hang-up right?” I said and gave her a smile

Her gloomy face begins to brighten up then she smiles and nod. When she left she goes back while I look at her curiously. “Did you left something?” I asked

She gave me a nod and then suddenly in my surprised she kissed me in the cheeks then I started to flush. “It takes to much courage to do that.” She said and left. I just stared at her while she walks away, I don’t know something is wrong with me this feeling is new and weird but it felt too much joy to me. Even it is new, I wanted to feel like this always, it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever had which means I wanted to be with her always. “Emily.” I said her name and then I was smiling already, it takes me a second to look at the sky which is now different it was bright before I know it.

It’s another day, well its end of the week or should I say its Friday, my favorite day. I went to my locker and saw my friends Billy, Ned, Zack, Janine and Amy. I give them a wave to acknowledge my presence as I go nearer Billy and I do our usual handshake. Janine nod at me while Amy in her biggest flashy smile just for me, was waiting I just smile to tell her that I notice her but it irritates me when every time I see her. Anyway, as I scan the whole corridor I can’t find her I mean it's early but something is not right she is usually early in her class.

“You’re looking for something?” Amy asked still smiling

“Correction? Someone not something…” Billy teased

“He’s right.” Ned joined him Amy glared at them while all of us were laughing. We heard the bell rang it’s time to go to our stupid classes. But maybe I can see her at lunch, I look at my watch and again I’m late in my first period classes.

“Amy stopped that okay, Ned, Billy stopped that and yes both of you are right not something but someone. So, Amy back up we are finished okay. See you guys later.” I said and then left.

Its lunch time already she’s not present. She’s not sitting in the rejected table as we called it. Why is she absent? Is she sick? Does she need to attend in a very important matter? Many thoughts came in my mind and I’m really worried. I cannot concentrate in my food so I stood up and left the cafeteria, I went to her teachers and ask them. All of them told me she was absent and the same time they don’t know why. All I do all day was to think of her I cannot focus in the stupid lessons, in my friends and anything.

After school I went straight home even I wanted to see I can’t because I don’t know where she lives even were in the same place. Funny right? This day is different I mean when it’s Friday I was always happy now I feel gloomy or rather lonely. As I went inside my house my grandpa was there reading something. He looked at me and I give him a nod which isn’t the usual because when we see each other I will hug him.

“Are you alright Marcus?” he asked worriedly

“Yeah… it’s been a long day.” I answered. I sat opposite him and look at him, he was reading a book about ancient history. What’s with people reading books is boring? I get a magazine near my chair and instead of reading it I stare each picture.

“It’s the first time I saw you like that is it about a girl?” he asked again

I stop looking at the pictures and stare at him. I nod at him I was speechless and yes he was right.

“What happened? Did you embarrass her or do something wrong?” he asked again

“No, pa it’s just I’m worried I did not see her today what I mean is, it’s very unusual for her to be absent.” I said, my grandma came in together with a hot tea and biscuits which she baked earlier this morning. She distributed it to each one of us, my grandpa nod and smiled same as me.

“Don’t worry Marcus, she will be fine. Maybe next week you can see her and she was smiling at you things like that or what should I meant is be positive okay.” He said then ate his one piece of biscuit.

“You grandpa is right Marcus.” My grandma added maybe I was just too hysterical it’s just only one day right. I nod at them and smile to the both of them. They were the best persons I’ve known.

After that, as the day pass I dream Emily her green eyes were staring at me while her lips were curving into a bright smile. She was wearing a floral sun dress and both of us were in the beach enjoying ourselves with the view. As we watch the sunset she said something but it was somehow blurred but as I can see in her face she was sad or gloomy after that scenario I saw her lying in the sands lifeless. I woke up cold sweats
