| She stood silently looking at me, the wind blowing gently through her dark hair. The paleness of her skin in the moonlight made her seem to glow. Her eyes were pools of sorrow when I looked into them, it made me want to cry as I stood there. I loved her... and I was losing her.
"Nicky, why did you bring me here," she asked quietly. Her voice was so soft and quiet that I barely heard her. "Because I wanted you to see the view before you went away, that's all." "Oh... okay." She seemed sadder for some reason, turning her face from me to look out over the city, at the swimming sea of twinkling lights under the stars. I loved to come up here alone and think sometimes... I found it so peaceful. I always told her I'd take her up here sometime... I planned to bring her here to tell her how I felt. She was going from me soon, I didn't know if I should now or not. We sat on the hood of my car, the old beat up Mustang I used to drive back then. I could feel the cold metal through my jeans. She looked so cold... I debated on putting my arms around her, but she looked so beautiful in that moment that I didn't want to do anything to ruin it. Instead I ran a hand through my newly short hair, I got tired of it being down to my shoulders, so I went back to my old hair cut. "Nicholas..." "Yes, Jodie?" "What are you thinking about?" She had to ask that, didn't she... I sighed a bit as I turned to look into those beautiful eyes of hers, the stormy gray looking silver in the moonlight. "About you...." She seemed a bit stunned by that reply, and confused. I decided to continue, and to tell her everything inside of my heart before it was too late. "I love you, Jodie." "What? You love me?" Her eyes were as wide as dinner plates, and for a brief moment I saw the saddness in her eyes gone... something else was there, but I wasn't sure what. "Yes... I've loved you for so long... but I was always afraid to tell you. You're my best friend, Jodie... I didn't want to ruin that if something went wrong. You mean too much to me... but I had to tell you before... before...." I couldn't bring myself to say it. I felt tears starting to well up, but I couldn't let her see me cry, I couldn't. "Before I died," she finished for me. "I see. Nicky...." "Yeah," I said, choking back the tears. "I love you, too." I looked at her in disbelief. Her eyes were sad still, and there were tears as well... but I knew what the other thing I saw in them was now... it was love. She stared at me for what seemed like hours, the tears falling down from those eyes, down her pale cheeks to her chin. I couldn't stand it anymore... I put my arms around her and drew her close to me. We both cried, cried because we had found love only to have it taken from us so soon. I leaned back after awhile to look down at her, her tragic face. I kissed her for the first time, her lips were so soft and warm... the tears had made them salty as well. We sat there like that, kissing on the hood of my old Mustang, for what seemed like eternity... yet when we pulled away finally it seemed too short. "I need to get home soon, Nicky... I have surgery at 8," she whispered sadly. Neither of us wanted to go, but I knew we had to. "Alright... lets go." I kissed her again, shorter this time; and I squeezed her tight one last time. Jodie died a few days later after her surgery, her body rejected the new heart and they couldn't get a new one in time. I locked myself in my room for a month and cried. After awhile I managed to come to terms with her death, but I have never loved anyone since then. I still go up to that spot on the full moon, and sit on the hood of my car, my new car. And I see her there as she was that night, staring at me as the breeze blows gently through her dark hair... a ghost in the wind. |
