(About 4 or 5 months later)
“Nat! Hey Nat! Earth to Nathalie!”
I looked up to find pair of sea blue eyes-- irritated eyes peering down at me.
“Oh god, you’re not day-dreaming about him again, are you?”
I looked up at her, and I could feel a hot flush creep up my neck and into my cheeks. I flashed her a weak smile. “No?” I said guiltily offering her my best ‘forgive-me’ smile. I giggled as I picked my books up off my desk. “ Fine, you caught me. Physics is just so unbelievably boring, I tend to zone out and…” I batted my eyes at her.
“Okay, okay.” Emily rolled her eyes as she gave me a little shove. “ So do you want to head over to Subway now, and then hit the mall or something?”
“Sounds like a plan.” I pushed her back and we hurried down the hall to our lockers, eager to get out of school and begin our weekend.
Emily had gone with me to the concert. She had seen the look on my face when I touched his hand, yet she still didn’t really seem understand. She wanted to understand, and I had tried to explain it to her- God knows I tried- but words were not good enough or big enough for what I felt. As the months wore on, Emily seemed to grow more and more annoyed and bored with the topic, and I didn’t blame her. It was just that I had lost a part of myself, and there was no way I was going to be able to get over that.
I practically ran through the school parking lot, dodging car after car narrowly escaping a few collisions with Emily following not far behind. Now that school was finished and done with for three whole days, feelings of freedom and excitement washed over me. I began to laugh, happiness bubbling up inside of me.
“Nat, you’re crazy! You’re going to get us killed!” Emily shrieked as she jumped around a honking car. “ What’s with the rush, anyways?”
I stopped next to my car and unlocked the door. “Em, we have three days of freedom. I think craziness is in order. Loosen up!” I opened my car door and sat down, excitement running through me. But when I turned on the car and reached for the radio, an unexpected pang of sadness cut into my heart. It made me sick to the stomach. It made me hurt. It made me ache to the very bottom of my soul. Then, as quickly as it had come, I forced it to go away.
“Nathalie?” Emily touched my shoulder. I hadn’t even noticed her get in the car. “You okay?”
I looked over at her and smiled. “Yeah, I’m fine.” I just missed him, that’s all. I didn’t say that, but I thought it. I didn’t want to irritate Emily. Even I was beginning to get irritated. I hardly even met him yet I missed him so much. If I could just touch his hand again—my stomach growled, reminding me of our plans. “ Let’s get us some food, I’m starving!”
We got to Subway, ordered our food, and sat down. I was about to take a bite of my sandwich when something hit me in the dead center of my forehead. Startled, I put down my delicious looking sandwich and looked up to find Emily smirking with her straw sticking out of her mouth. I picked up the straw wrapper. “Oh no, you’re going down!”
I grabbed my straw and ripped off the top part of its wrapper. I was about to blow when I heard an all too familiar voice drift down from the television above Emily’s head. He was singing a song, his voice smooth and calming.
You’re my dream angel,
You’re the one who walks me through the night,
My dream angel,
Singing songs of love through the star lit light—
My dream angel,
You’re the one who walks me through the night
My dream angel, you’re my dream angel
I waste away everyday
Just to fall asleep to you
I just have to find a way
To bring you here
Take my loneliness and fear
Stay with me throughout the day
Stay with me
Stay with me
my
Dream angel,
You’re the one who walks me through the night
My dream angel,
Singing songs of love through the star lit light.
My dream angel,
oooohh you’re my dream angel.
The camera zoomed in on the curly headed boy sitting at the piano as the song finished. I dropped the straw as his face turned towards the camera. This song meant something to him, something important.
A strange feeling took ahold of me. He was singing about me.
I realize this was kinda boring. But just wait till you read what happens when oprah interviews the boys afterwards.
