The Ugly Duckling
With Love and Scars, I Dance My Way to You
" Ash....." I never could finish my sentence, my face was pushed into Ash's chest.
" Mary, no I won't let you go," staring at me with those deep brown eyes that just made me feel so safe
" It's to late," the knowing look fell into those tree bark colored eyes making them rain with pity and sorrow, " Ashley, let me go. I'm truly sorry but you left me with my horrid parents. I understand that your's are dead but--" yet again my speak was drawn away as his lips danced on mine.
" Ummm, WOAH ASH WHY ARE YOU KISSING YOUR SISTER??" CC's hyper voice called over the joyful feeling that made my knees turn to jello and my mind fog over in a haze. Ash slowly as if he if didn't want to leave my lips and I didn't want his warmth to leave mine but they had to, because at the moment Ash looked like he was committing a crime. Yet as his warm cracked lips left mine in a cold storm, his warmth didn't go far, laying his war painted forehead on mine, staying there just looking into my eyes.
" Well Andy," breaking away from me but left his large, anchor of an arm around my waist, " She really isn't my sister but my best friend who well as you can see, I just kissed." No one spoke but just stared in confusion, " Ash? Is she the one you are always texting?" Jinx asked. He simply nodded and I, as shy as I am, hid my face in his chest trying to block out the stares that I was getting and the whispers I could hear.
" I'm not going to lie but I didn't see that one coming," Jake awkwardly laughed and soon we all just joined. Truly it felt like I have know these guys forever but this is the first time meeting them and I wish it wouldn't end, but all good things must come to an end and reality breaks your dreams.
" Ash," looking down at my five feet and two inch height with a joyful smile but as soon as he saw the clear ghostly look in my eyes it faded like the birds in winter, " You know it's my time."
Tears pooled around those eyes I love so much, " No," pulling my into his famous bear hugs that never seem to get old, " you are safe, I won't let you go back to them, I won't lose my best friend again." Slowly I backed out of arms and a rush of cold air whistled through my bones, all I wish to do is go back to the anchor that holds me to this Earth.
" Ashley, this is goodbye, may we be deemed by God that we will see each other again someday," my tears that haven't fallen in years came crashing down like a title wave,
" Remember always, that with Love and Scars I'll dance my way to you."
Kissing his tear wetted lips for the second time and for the last time, breaking away was the hardest thing I've done, and all I simply could do was run. Run to back to the shadows that I call home with broken wings and all........
