I love you

-
I saw her walking out of the school and decided that this was it. I ran up to her and grabbed her arm lightly, pulling her off to the side. She jumped and turned around, putting her hand on her heart.

“Jaxon, jeez you scared me. What’s up?” She asked.

“I need to tell you something. I know that this may seem sudden, but i’ve been feeling like this for as long as I can remember. Wow, this is a lot harder than i’d expected.” I laughed nervously, rubbing the back of my neck.

“Okay, out with it. What’s going on?” She gave me this look and then everything seemed fine, as if with that look I knew that everything would work out. I stared at her for a moment knowing fondness was falling out of my eyes like a waterfall, and then said what has been on my mind for a long time.
“I love you, Nova. I have loved you for a really long time, and I know that you just broke up with Adam and I know my timing couldn’t be any worse, but I just had to tell you. I love you. I love the way you blush when someone compliments you. I love the way you laugh with your whole body and the way your smile is crooked, but perfect in every which way. I love the way your eyes shine so bright when you talk about your dogs or when you talk about something you care about. I love how you get so invested in movies that you cry as if the tragedy happened to you. I love how you listen to love songs and smile, saying that one day you’ll fall in love and all the love songs in the world would make sense.”
I took a deep breath and decided to continue.
“I love the way you curl up next to me on the days when it gets so cold. I love the way your sweaters are too big on you so they hang on your shoulders giving you sweater paws. I love how caring you are. I love how brave you are when it comes to your family. I just love you. And i’m sorry that my timing is so bad and i’m sorry if this isn’t something you wanted to hear, but I just can’t hold it in anymore.”

Looking down I waited for a response, but it never came. I worked up all the courage I had left and looked up at her. There was an expression on her face i’d never seen before. I couldn’t tell if she was upset or happy so I just waited for what seemed an eternity, when in reality was only a couple seconds. I was about to speak again when she began talking.

The Boy With the Broken Guitar

-
There he was sitting in his room, the lights were low and the traffic loud but his mind was thinking too fast to even notice. With tear-stained cheeks and a heavy heart he picked up his pen and wrote it all down. He wrote down the pain and he wrote down the sorrow, letting the words on the paper unscramble his thoughts. To a stranger he'd look frantic, almost desperate. As if writing on that paper would fix every problem he's ever had. And to him, it would. He stopped writing and looked down at the page, looked down at his master piece and a bittersweet smile crept onto his face. Gently, he laid it back down and picked up his guitar. It was old and had some cracks, but with a shaky hand he begun to strum a perfect melody. The broken boy began to sing and the world faded out. There was no more traffic noise, the fan that had been buzzing as it moved suddenly stopped, and it was just him. Just the broken boy and his broken guitar.

Imaginary Friends

You are a great person who’s gone through much Your family’s death and brothers name in the mulch Your soul tender and damaged at best But you’re my friend, I won’t listen to the rest I know you’re fictional and fake I know that, my sanity isn’t at stake You’re a character from my favorite show But you’ve helped me, especially while I was feeling low Saving people, hunting things, the family business You’re a righteous man with a broken past But my hope for you will always last One of the Winchester’s saved from hell You’re one of the good guys, anyone can tell Dean Winchester, on the side of the angels Your courage has never wavered No matter how many times your life was dangled You’re one of my closest friends Because I know how it feels to fight against your own fiends Sam Winchester, Another of my closest Destined for the side of the demons Bad blood is in you Luck has never favored you Damned since you were born And always fe...

LILY

EXTERIOR PARK - AFTERNOON SCENE 1 (We see two small kids at the park. One is a girl sliding down slides with a nice dress on, while a small flower crown rests on her head. The boy who is just sitting in a swing, reading a Magic Treehouse book, is wearing jeans, a regular T-shirt, and some Converse. After a bit, the girl gets bored playing by herself and walks up to the boy. At first, the boy just ignores her, hoping she'd go away so he could finish reading the book. Once he realizes that she won't go away, he bends the corner of the page before closing his book and looks up at her. The girl smiles and shoves her hand towards him) LILY Hi! I'm Lily!  HARRY          (Reluctantly he grabs her hand, shakes it gently, then puts his hand back on his lap) I'm Harry.                             ...
