I had this friend, his name was Josh and he was the sweetest person ever.
He was kind, smart and so so funny. Remembering him makes me sad. Like the song, Lover, You Should've Come Over.
She had this vanilla cookie scent to him and i always thought it was silly he used two perfumes everyday just to achieve this.
We had been friends for 8 years upto then and he and I were deeply interconnected. We knew each other so well.
One day, after a concert, we're walking down this street filled with rosy white cheery blossom and petals. And it's perfect.
I should have cherished him sooner. Should have acknowledged our relationship sooner. Should have thanked him once more.
Well, i didn't.
And on that same street he was kidnapped. Taken away from me. I still remember his silly laugh right before we noticed.
Then he was gone.
I later found one of his braclets on the ground. It had a sonic charm. He loved sonic. He loved hello kitty. He loved me. I loved him.
We did our best to find him but it was pointless.
We gave up after 4 years.
I thought id never see him again.
But i did.
~~~
It was a rainy evening and i was at a bar with my "new" friends. Though they would never compare to him.
We were talking about girls when I saw his outside of the window.
I sprung up, run outside and after him, but he was gone. I told myself im just imagining it. Just imagining him.
I smiled to myself and sat down on the nearest bench.
Suddenly, someone sat down next to me.
I look up.
It's- him...
What?
Im stunned.
Im crying.
He calms me down.
Takes me into his arms.
Holds me.
"I will forever be holding onto you", i think. "I won’t ever let you go"
He smiles.
His eyes glow.
He says he's got me something and before he gives it to me he mumbles something.
Moments later- all my surroundings are blown up.
Its all gone.
Everything i can see is gone.
Thise's nothing.
No warm bench.
No sweet smile and no ground.
I fall. Everything goes black.
~~~
When i gain consciousness again im in a hospital bed. White lights surrounding me. And doctors.They tell me i was hit by an atom bomb. Its crazy i survived.
I later understood that he casted a spell on me. An invincibility spell. He died. I think. Im not sure. It all happened so fast.
Sometimes i believe i still see him from the corner of my eye. But when i turn around he's never there.
