Rain, Roxanne "Rain" . [the reading list txt] 📗

me. Lacy just stared in my face. Taking a step forward, so we was chest to chest as she spoke. "Gabby & Jess. It's alright i got thi..." before Lacy could even finished i shouted at her "Bitch I don't have time for you now MOVE!" I looked her up and down my fist was clenched. I knew something was going to happen.

*BAM!* I punched her right in the face. She stumbled backwards, letting Gabby and Jess catch her as she moved backwards. I walked up to her. Stared in her face. shook my hand. "Pathetic" i whispered, and started to run down the hallway. "You'll regret that you stupid little bitch!" She screamed after me as i ran. I ran and ran, i wanted to go, leave this place. Why did they pick me of all people, why was i all of a sudden "The Lost Girl". Just look at me. I missed my Dad, missed how he always knew how to cheer me up when i'm down. Missed the way my Dad's girlfriend used to nag at me. Wait what!? did I just say that. Erm well. Yeah, I kinda miss that. But there was no time for me to be thinking of them, I just needed a way out.

I ran down the hallways every twist and turn, down staircases, until I reached a bridge. I was tired. I couldn't run anymore. I was out of breath. I lent and slid down the side. "why why why!" I screamed, I wasn't sure if anyone could hear me, I didn't really care either. The sooner I get out the sooner my life can go back to the way it was. I hugged my knees, trying to catch my breath back as soon as i could. I lifted my head up and right before me was this amazing garden. It was filled with Lilies, and Tulips my favorite. Butterflies filled it up, flying around everywhere, ever so peacefully. I stood up and walked over to the edge.

The drop wasn't that far to the ground. I took off the shoes I was wearing and left them on the side of the wall. Tumbled over one another. I lifted myself onto the ledge and took a deep breathe before "WAIIIITTTTTT" a boy called out... Chapter Seven ~ Rosebud...

I turned to look back. Starting to loose my balance I fell. Backwards. Off the edge of the bridge. I closed my eyes, letting me fall to the ground so I didn't bare the impact. It felt so heavenly falling; the wind whipped my face as I fell. The dress flurried around. Everything felt like it was moving in slow motion. THUMP. I fell onto something. Or someone.

"Ohh, you're a bit heavier then I though," a familiar voice announced.  I opened my eyes and looked at the person. It was that boy, the one that scared me. He smiled at me, helping me back to my feet. I frowned at him. "Sorry, I didn't mean that in a rude way..."   "its okay..." I mumbled.   "But can I ask you something. Why were you standing on the edge?" he asked as he pointed up to where I was standing before I fell.   "I wasn't sure, of how to get down here. It's really pretty I wanted a better view and some peace and quite" I smiled at him.   "Well you could have taken the stairs," he laughed as he pointed to them.   "Well, you see I'm not sure of where everything is" I giggled.   "Aww, well I could take you for a tour if you want?" he smiled  "Sure! That'll be great. Oh. I'm Rain by the way." I smiled back.   "Ohh! So you're Rain. I'm Parker." he bowed in front of me.   "Please to meet you"  "erm nice to meet you too"

 

I stared at him bowing to me. Erm why was he bowing I'm not royalty.  He stood back up properly, and smiled at me. I felt quite embarrassed, I started to blush slightly. He took noticed of my embarrassment and took my hand.  "There's no need to be embarrassed Rain. I'm a friend." He continued to smile.  "A-Alright." I began to smile back.  "So how about that tour" He laughed while holding my hand, pulling me in the direction of the amazing garden.  "Okay" I giggled as he pulled me.  

 

 

Why do I feel like I'm at peace, while I'm here with Parker and this amazing garden. The grass was greener then green. The flowers bloomed at sight, a range of different colours surrounded us. Blue, Purple, Orange, Pink, Indigo, Yellow, Red. I felt like I was pulled inside a rainbow. The aromas of the flowers filled the air. The sun gently hit our faces, as the wind gently whipped our hair. I closed my eyes and help my head up to the sky.

 

"I could stay here in this place forever..." I mumbled.  "Why don't you?"He asked.  I didn't notice that he had let go of my hand and was not sitting down next to me. I sat down next to him, and though to myself.   "It's wonderful here, but nobody ever comes in here but me. They just... they just think it's a waste of space." he complained.  "Well, they're stupid." I laughed. Parker had a serious face, but I still couldn't help myself.  "Who would let something as beautiful and amazing like this just sit here, without even being walked through, or something!" I explained throwing my hands around in the air. Parker started to laugh, I smiled at him.  "Your right Rain!" He chuckled.  "Yupp! You got that right there." I giggled.  "I'm actually really glad, I met you Parker." I smiled at him placing my hand on his.  "I'm glad you fell into my arms too Rain" He joked. 

 

 

I stood up and took a deep breath in. I saw a massive lake just up ahead. I really wondered what it looked like. I turned to Parker who was lying down on the soft grass chewing on a piece of it too. Hmm.   "RACE YOU TO THE LAKE!" I screamed taking off, before he could even stand up.   "Huh?!" He sat up, and stared at me as I ran laughing down towards the lake. He stood up and started running after me.  "WAIT NOT FAIR YOU GOT A HEAD START" He yelled as he laughed running behind me.  "Is too!" I screamed back laughing.

 

I felt like a little kid again. Strangely I felt like I knew this place. Like, I've been here before, ran down this same way, passed these flowers, towards a lake, but with who? When? Memories started rushing through my head. "Arghhhh" i growled, causing me to stop, making me drop to my knees, as i held my head. I closed my eyes as tight as possible. I was in pain. Parker was still running towards me, i didn't think he had noticed my fall.

 

 

 

Rain's Flashback. 

"haha, cant catch me" I screamed, laughing running through the flowers. "Oh yeah, wanna bet I'll catch you Rain." Alex shouted back at me, while counting. We was playing hide and seek, one of the games I was always good. "No cheating! Cover your eyes properly Alex!" I yelled just before hiding in the flowerbed.

  

All the flowers was taller then me so it made it easier to hide. I crouched down, hiding. Luckily the daisy chain I made covered parts of my hair. "99, 100 READY OR NOT HERE I COME" Alex shouted. I ran as far as possible, so he couldn't find me soo easily. "I know where you are Rain" he shouted. I could hear him getting closer and closer to where I was.

 

 "Gah, was this a bad place to hide" I mumbled to myself thinking out loud. I popped my little head up and looked around for him. I could see him. His back towards me, his short blue hair flying with the gentle breeze, his matching grey shorts with his dark grey t-shirt. We forever ran around with no shoes on as we were mainly in the garden."I can hear you Rain!" He whispered loudly, causing me to fall back down in the flowerbed, hoping he didn't see me when I looked up. A minute passed I think, and I looked back up again. He was gone. Pheww! "for a minute there I thought he..." I began whispering to myself. Suddenly, "BOO" Alex screamed, popping up in front of me, causing me to fall back laying in the flowers. He stood over me laughing. I was laying there with my hand on my heart like he had just given me a heart attack. "Not funny Alex" I whined, sitting up and rubbing my head. He sat in front of me and placed his hand on mine where I was rubbing my head. "Not funny Alex" He mimicked me. I frowned at him, showing him that I wasn't impressed with him mimicking me.

 

 "Aww Rain, I'm sorry. But I did say I'll catch you" He chuckled while he started to fix my daisy chain on my head. "Hmp" I crossed my arms and turned looking away from him. He threw his arms around me and gave me a tight squeeze hug. I couldn't stay mad at him, it was impossible to, so I hugged him back. "Knew you would do that" He laughed in my ear. "Shut upp!" My voice changed pitch, I blushed trying to push him away, but his grip was too tight. I started to struggle in his arms, but he kept them locked. A few minutes passed after I stopped struggling. He pulled away and stared at me. I kept my head down as my cheeks was still red.

He began to brush the side of my cheek.  "You're soo cute when you blush like that Rain" he smiled, lifting my head up with the tips of his fingers.  "You're always soo cute Rain"  I started to blush again, this time even harder. My cheeks felt like they was on fire, they burned as they got even more red. "Rain stop, before you kill me with your cuteness" he laughed. I began to giggle too.

 

We just sat there in silence, listening to the wind blowing and the birds chirping. It was peaceful. Just perfect. It was just me and Alex, usually we’re with loads of others, and I cant talk to him properly. I turned and looked at Alex, who was staring up at the tree branches. I wonder if he's thinking of climbing the tree. I thought to myself. He soon stood up, and put his hand in front of me. I took his hand and stood up. He began to drag me, to somewhere i wasn't sure about."Where we going Alex?" I asked."It's a surprise. I've wanted to show you this forever" he replied, not looking back at me, but forward so he knew where he was going.We soon approached a lake. The lake was enormous.  The water was clear, there was swans and their duckings swimming along the lake, humming birds hovering. There was loads of water lilies surrounded the lake. It was beautifully breath-taking. Something like this was made to be shared. I gasped at sight. Alex just stared at
