I Ran Away and Now I'm Here

"We need some...." He looked around, as he was in a tight situation, due to not being able to call the Medics, due to her rules. "Aloe!" He darted into the medicine cabinet.

 

[iMeisaki]

She got up from the couch following Leland to the medicine cabinet. She was limping but she still managed. "I can use the toilet paper again after we use the aloe to wrap it up I think." Rayes said.

 

[gogojojo331]

"We have band-aids." He said. "You should have told me...."

 

[iMeisaki]

She sighed. "I'm sorry, it doesn't seem that bad though, this isn't really on the top of my worry list." She looked down as she was disappointed herself.

 

[gogojojo331]

"I understand.." He said, with a sigh.

 

[iMeisaki]

"So..what's you favorite color?" She asked while smiling. Rayes wanted to lighten the mood a little bit so she just asked a random question.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Blue..." He said.

 

[iMeisaki]

"Cool! Mine is black." She giggled while applying the aloe on her cut. Then she started wrapping her leg with the toilet paper humming a tune.

 

[gogojojo331]

"What are you singing?" he said, looking at her leg. Bruises there too. Inhumane.

 

[iMeisaki]

"I'm humming an old song my best friend and I would sing. It was really stupid actually, we called it Say Goodbye and we would just make up our own lyrics like Say Goodbye to our parents or Say Goodbye to our jobs." Rayes started to sigh. "Even though it was stupid, it was fun when we both were messing around singing it together." She said.

 

[gogojojo331]

"I can understand..." HE smiled and looked at her. "Whoever that is sounds like a good friends...."

 

[iMeisaki]

Her smile started to slowly fade. "Yea..We were really close..." She looked down and finished wrapping up her leg.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Oh..." He said. He knew that look. He wore that look now and again. "My condolences."

 

[iMeisaki]

"Thanks..her name was Tess." She said.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Nice name...." He smiled. "Must be a nice girl..." He put the stuff back in the cabinet.

 

[iMeisaki]

Rayes took out a picture from her pocket. "This was us a year and a half ago. I dyed my hair after that picture. Tess is on the right and she wrote the Friends Forever thing on the picture."

[gogojojo331]

He smiled. "She gave you the time of your life, I see..." He looked at the picture, which was a bit water-stained due to the rain.

 

[iMeisaki]

"Yea..She was really great.." Rayes was starting to get teary-eyed but she held back her tears because she was tired of crying.

 

[gogojojo331]

"It's ok..." He looked at her. "Let it out...." He said.

 

[iMeisaki]

"No..No, it's okay. She died a year ago due to lung cancer." Rayes just leaned on the wall crossing her arms looking at Leland.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Ok." He said, and smiled.

 

[iMeisaki]

"She smoked sometimes but her parents were the smokers and she got lung cancer from second hand." She sighed looking down.

 

[gogojojo331]

"That's...." He looked down. "That is horrible...."

 

[iMeisaki]

"Yea..I don't know how she kept smiling and was happy all the time. She looked so peaceful." Rayes said. "I miss her but I see her sometimes if you know what I mean." She gave a half smile.

 

[gogojojo331]

"Hmm...." He though about what she said. "You mean dreams, or ghosts?"
