Rain by Roxanne "Rain" . (cat reading book .txt) 📕

me smiling. I let go of his hand and knelt next to the bank of the lake. I put my hand in the water and began to swirl it around. The water was cool to touch. Especially, cause today was really hot. I looked to my side and saw Alex standing next to a mysterious object. It was covered with some sort of sheet. Alex pulled the sheet away and revealed a boat. big enough for 3 children. I stood up and made my way over towards him."Sh-She's Beautiful" I mumbled at sight. I ran the tips of my fingers over it."Just like you huh Rain." He laughed. I began to blush.

Curse, my little blush sensitivity. (>w<)

 

I continued to walk around the boat. I saw a stroke of midnight blue writing. ROSEBUD.It was written on the side."Rosebud" I whispered, as i brushed my finger tips against the writing. Without notice i didn't realised that Alex, had places two paddles in the boat, along with a basket. I turned and was  now staring at him, while he stood there staring at the ground kicking the soft grass."Want to go in the boat?" He asked. What type of question was that! Obviously i would want to go in the boat."Yes Please!" I squealed in excitement, I've never been in a row boat. He walked around to the side of the boat where i was standing, and took my hand while i climbed in. I sat down on the seat, while he began to push the boat out into the water, then climbed in. He sat down and took the two paddles and began to paddle the boat out in the lake.I just watched him, as he paddled. Stroke after stroke, pushing the boat further and further from the bank. I felt like a Princess. I giggled at the faces he made as he paddled. Some he pulled so that it looked like he was struggling too. Then there was some that he had pulled which, made me laugh soo much. After a few minutes of paddling we soon approached the middle. He stopped paddling and put them both in the boat. He then pulled the basket out from under his chair, and handed it to me.Inside the basket there was two sandwiches that he made. One labeled  'Rain' another labeled 'most awesomest person in the world' I laughed as I threw him the sandwich which said Rain on it, and took a bite of his one."WAHH" He whined. "That was my special sandwich" he announced as he waved mine in the air. "I know it taste nice" I mumbled with my mouth full. He frowned at me. I began to stand up in the boat to sit next to him. Luckily i did, without falling in. I handed him his bitten sandwich and took mine and began to eat it.He still frowned while he ate it. "Ewww" I screamed."Huh?" He turned and looked at me."You just ate my germs" I stuck my tongue out at him. "Well, i don't care. Your germs are yummy" He chuckled, and poked me on my nose i started to giggle. We both then went back to eating our sandwiches. It was peaceful. We just sat there like floating ducks, the boat slowly drifted along the late without even paddled. After finishing our sandwiches, we sat there poking each other, messing around rocking the boat side to side singing. A few minutes later, Alex then picked up the paddles and started to bring us back to the bank. It was silent again."Alex" I smiled at him."Yes, Rain?"  He replied."Promise me one thing please?" I looked down at the boat while speaking this time."Anything Rain." He smiled as he heaved while rowing the boat. "Don't ever forget about me." I mumbled, i felt like crying. The boat hit the bank, sending me falling forward just a bit off the seat. Alex tied a rope around a log, so that the boat wouldn't drift away later on.

 

"Who are you again?"  He chuckled. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close giving me a really big hug."Of course Rain. I would never forget you. Not now. Not 10 Years. Not Ever." He whispered in my ear. Tears started rolling down my cheeks, he pulled away and wiped my eyes smiling at me. I smiled back at him, knowing that I now knew he would never forget me."Now thats the smile I always see." He laughed."Oh shut up Alex." I began to giggle. He was the one that was always there for me, the one i knew would make me smile when i had problems. I wanted to give him something. Something precious to me, something that i knew he would remember, and remember me by."I've got a gift for you Alex" I smiled at him."Oooo! Gimme gimme gimme!" He shouted with excitement."Okay. Close your eyes first." I giggled."Wahh!" He moaned. "You know i hate surprises." Yes, it was true. He always did hate surprise."It'll only be two seconds. I Promise." " Okay" He said, while closing his eyes."Okay. You ready?" I asked."Yes! Just hurry!" He was bouncing up and down waiting for his surprise.I closed my eyes and lent forward. Pressing my lips on his. My first kiss. My gift. My gift to Alex. My something that i'd give him to remember me by...

 

~End of Flashback.

 

A splash of water hit my face. My eyes shot open and I sat right up. "Rain! Rain are you alright?!!"  A worried voice came through. I wiped my eyes, to get a better look. It was Parker. I looked around me. I knew where I was. "I-I've been here before." I muttered. Staring right at the lake. There was a familiar shape. I stood up and began walking over to this oddly shaped thing. Parker followed behind. I looked around as i walked. Everything was becoming clear to me. I had been here before, when i was young. I looked around at the flowers everything was similar. The swans must have grown up and left as there was only duckling in the water. I lent down and dragged my hand in the water. The ripples moved making everything look weird. They slowly began to stop, I looked at my reflection. Instead of my face of what i look like right now , it was the younger version me. She mimicked every move i made. I looked at the background of my reflection a familiar face appeared.

 

It wasn't Parker's as he was skipping stones across the water a few meters away from me. I gasped taking a few steps back. The boy smiled at me, He had, short blue hair, which was blowing gently in the breeze. He was wearing a grey top. They, both smiled at me. Trying to get my attention to something else. I looked at them confused, they seemed to be waving and pointing at something that was close by to me. I sharply turned my head to the side. It was that oddly figured shape i had seen, before walking down. The shape turned out to be a small boat just resting on the bank, I turned back to look at the little boy and me in the reflection of the lake, but they seemed to be gone. It was just me. The normal aged me back there now. I stood up properly and began to walk over towards the boat. There was a  dark green plastic sheet covering it. I began to pull it off, it was much lighter then i thought. Excitedly, i threw it to one side and began walking around the boat, dragging my finger tips on the soft surface of the wood. Memories. The touch of the boat was familiar, i've felt this before. I continued walking around the boat. The word Rosebud caught my eye. Everything started to flood back into my head. I could see everything again. Everything how it was back then. I looked out at the middle of the lake. I could see it. Us. Sitting there laughing, messing about. I knew this place. I knew where i was. I was back. Then it hit me. The boy in my reflection, with me. It was him. It was Alex...

 

Chapter 8 ~ She's Changed.

~ This chapter is in Alex's point of view.

I grabbed at my arm, pain rushed all through me but i knew why I let this happen. It's all because of her. She's changed. She's not the same Rain I got to know and love those years ago. Despite the fact that she's grown up, I feel like she's forgotten.

I stared at Daniel, he was in shock, he didn't think she would react in that way, matter of fact none of us did. Daniel, picked up the chair that was next to him and sat down, with his head in his hands. Zoe just stood there, as if nothing had just happened. Lacy was holding her nose and shouting a whole bunch of curse words while screaming in pain. Smirking, I shook my head and laughed lightly so no one could hear. I started to make my way towards the door.

"Why" Daniel broke the silence. I stopped and looked at him.

"This is your fault Alex. You was always jealous of me. Just because i got all the attention." He carried on, he didnt lift his head once. I stared at him. Jealousy ? Did i really do this because i was jealous of him. That he's got rain and i dont.

"I'm not jealous" I answered and started walking again. One thing i had in mind was to find out where she went. I didn't want anything more happening. If mum and dad found out. It'll be all my fault.

"Zoe" I called, looking behind me before leaving the room.

"Make sure this mess is cleaned up before mum and dad get home."

"Yes, sir" She answered and started to clean. Lacy was already walking out of the room, still cursing and screaming about her nose.

"I'M GOING TO KILL THAT BITCH, WHO THE FUCK DOES SHE THINK SHE IS." she kept screaming, while walking down the hallway. I looked at her walking off and laughed. Typical Rain. Daniel just sat there growing. I knew he was angry, angry at me mainly all cause of what i said to her. I stopped and snickered. Then, I started to think, was I really jealous of Daniel cause he's got Rain?

Rain, was eveything. I knew her since we was soo young. She was like my everything, until Daneil came along. Then it all changed. Now he's angry, frustrated.

I knew he was angry at himself, for what happened. Nothing for what i done, actually maybe the fault could of been on me too.

I began to make my way out into the hallway, twisting and turning thought, trying to find her. It took quite a while, i couldn't really pick up her scent. It was quite hard, after all my nose was bleeding after the fight. I found a entrance, leading towards a bridge i began to make my way toward it in hopes she went that way.

I began to walk across the bridge, her shoes laid on top of each other. "Where'd she go?" i thought out loud to myself. I began to look around in hopes of
