Heaven or Hell
i awoke the next morning around
noon.
i walked towards my phone which was on the other side of the
room.
it was flashing,
1 new message from Jon.
Hey Liv, uh could you
maybe come over today? I have to babysit Branden too, though. But
i really miss you baby.
I texted him back and said
Sure, ill ask my mom if i
can no promises though i bet shell say no..
i bolted down the stairs, and immediately asked my mom.
To my surprise, she actually said yes!
"Hey sweetie" Jon greeted me as i walked into his
unusually big house.
"...Hi Jon"
He smiled, took my hand, and brought me into the living room,
where Branden sat in a big blue chair looking out a small window,
he looked so pale, unlike his normal state.
"Branden, this is Olivia." Jon spoke slowly
"H-Hi.." Branden said as his voice trailed off. His
eyes met a picture of their dad that had sat on the mantle of the
fireplace, and Branden ran off towards stairs, which probably led
upstairs. A loud door slam then echoed from upstairs.
"Maybe i shouldnt be here.." I said "its not
really a good time for your family...you know?"
"Liv, youre the thing i want to see most right now. I need
to be with you."
I smiled, and looked out the same window his little brother had.
There, sat a large oak tree, its naked branches were slowly
shaking.
"Want to sit down?" Jon said while gesturing towards
the couch.
"Suree" i said
He plopped down next to me and looked at the floor before
saying,
"You know, its kinda weird how you never know whats most
important to you, until its basically gone."
"Yeah..kinda scary really. Are you okay?" I said softly
while snuggling close up to his big shoulder.
"Yes" he put his huge hand on my face, and i felt his
warm breathe come close to mine, and his lips finally met
mine.
"Thanks for asking" he said "I love you so much,
you dont even know."
"I love you too" I looked into the bright blue eyes of
his and smiled.
He put his arm around me, and we stayed on the couch for a while,
silent, yet content.
