Drifting Hearts

WARNING. THIS STORY CONTAINS SORROW. TRY NOT TO CRY.... It was the middle of spring in 2005. Justin, and Stephanie. Forever, in love. My name is Stephanie, and I live in the north of Empire City. I've been waiting my whole life for Justin to come back from New Marais. Monday 26th October was the I've been waiting for. I just didn't know it. Yet... I went to the park. I always meet him there. By the old weeping willow, on the park bench by Takitaki Lake. I managed to get a long sigh out of me. Then I heard a stick snap. I whipped my head around, and there was Justin. I was so delighted to see him, I threw myself into his open arms. He hugged me back, then took me to Desserts'n'Smoothies, the perfect place to go in the middle of spring. A woman with a white singlet, skinny jeans, and dark wavy hair took our order. I asked politely for a vanilla milkshake. Justin didn't order anything however. I knew, something was different. Then he got up, and left, leaving me alone and not even saying goodbye to me. I was confused. I swiped up my vanilla milkshake, taking sips on the way, and raced after him. I didn't get far. So I just stood there. In the middle of the forest. The next day, I decided I needed to clear my head. I get up, get ready, and head out to the place I would always meet Justin. By the old weeping willow, on the park bench by Takitaki Lake. I could see a dark cloud coming, so I had to hurry. But what I saw next was so unexpected. There was the woman I saw at Desserts'n'Smoothies, KISSING JUSTIN! I let out a loud gasp, and they stopped. The rain had changed into a full-out storm. He jumped out of his seat and I was so unhappy. He was trying to reason with me but I ran away, with tears flying from my face and landing on the soft grassy floor. Then it happened, even more unexpected than before. Just as I was about to stop, the lightning struck. The pain was blinding. I saw jagged rays of white flash across my eyes. Justin puts on his brakes and kneels down beside me. He was telling me to stay with him, but the wound was fatal and I was dying. 10 minutes later..... I was in hospital, but the results were bad they just didn't know it yet, but ther were going to find out very soon. Justin came in to see me, but I was almost dead. He raced out to get the nurse. But it was too late.. I was gone. I know that Justin...Never forgave himself for that day.... But....In time...I learned....To forgive him........ THE END.
