THE TAXI RIDE
by SAM


It was a cool night. The sound of cars on the distant
highway was the only breach of the silence. I took a drag of
my cigarette, I watched the smoke as it rose through the
air, dancing on each breath of wind. I was alone on my
lonely street. I awaited the arrival of the taxi that would take
me from this loneliness. 

A taxi rounded the corner, its headlights beamed in my
eyes, it broke the solemn state of my mind. I threw my
cigarette in the gutter and stepped forward to stop the taxi.
I opened the door and got in.

"Where to?" asked the driver while reaching for the meter.

" Just head towards the highway" I replied, saying little as I
always felt initially uncomfortable with strangers. For awhile
I looked out the side window, although I was looking I was
not really seeing because I was deep in thought. I was
thinking about Sarah. We had been going out now for
almost a month. I really enjoyed being with her. I was over
being just infatuated with the opposite sex. We were so
much alike. I could be myself around her and not the
character I played around others. Each time I left her I felt
less than complete.

"What ya doing tonight?" The driver's question
brought my drifting mind back through the window into the
taxi.

"Going out with my girlfriend" was my delayed reply.

"She pretty?" he asked.

"Gorgeous!" My resistance to conversation fading as the
driver continued to break the ice. I felt like talking about
her, I don't have any brothers to talk to and my
friends see girls in an immature light. Instinctively I felt I
could talk to this man, besides when I closed the door at
the end of the journey we would never see each other
again. It was an opportunity to get some things off my
chest.

"Are you going to her house?" 

"I'm going to her friend's house." The ice
now shattered I felt free to talk "I am meeting her there then
we are going out."

"Why don't you go to her house?" he inquired. 

"Her parents are really strict. They don't let her go
out with guys. She tells them she is going to her
friend's house. I hate parents who do that, who
don't trust their kids." I told him.

"I once went out with a girl like that, it's really hard.
How long have you two been goin' out" he asked.

"A month"

"Are you two, ya know, doing it?" he asked.

"Yeah." I replied to the unexpected question. "It's
different though, with her, it's more gentle and
caring. I think I am her first lover. She is so good. She has
a really good body and she does this thing..." I stopped,
thinking I was going too far. "Lets just say I can't
wait till later."

"Where are you taking her?" he asked.

"We are going to a party at my mate's house, his
parents are going away," I replied

"What do you get up to?" he asked with interest.

"Drink, smoke, dance…"

"Smoke?…drugs?" he broke in.

"Sometimes. When we go to parties, it just fits the mood.
We know when to stop though; it's not our whole
lives like other people," I replied.

That bought a halt to the conversation for a while. I looked
at the driver. He looked about fifty and of European
descent. He had a hard face the result of an undoubtedly
hard life. He had curly grey hair; it gave him a look of
wisdom and experience. I looked at his eyes. I could see
through his hard shell to a soft core. I felt sympathy for this
man. I could see had grown tired of travelling aimlessly
down insipid roads every night.

"You got kids?" I asked.

"Three angels." The thought of his kids sparked a
momentary look of happiness on his face. I could see he
would rather be with his angels than in this cab. He looked
like a man who was full of love for his kids. 

"Turn up here." I told him. We turned down the street. We
approached the house. "Just here."

He stopped the taxi. I asked him to wait. I got out and
walked down the path to the door. It was Belinda's
house, she was Sarah's best friend.

With the butterflies beginning to flutter in my stomach, I
reached for the bell. Belinda's appeared at the door.

"Hi, John, I'll get Sarah."

Moments later I saw Sarah walking down the hall. As our
hands embraced I was happy again, no longer alone. She
gave me a sweet kiss on my cheek, as her lips left my
cheek the feeling did not. She carried with her an aura of
warmth, which surrounded me. We said goodbye to
Belinda and began to walk back to the taxi. I opened the
door and climbed in and was followed by Sarah. 

"This is my beautiful girlfriend, Sarah" I said. 

He turned around; they looked at each other for a short
moment. Then Sarah screamed a single word that still
pounds my brain. "Dad!" 



ANGELA SHORT STORY BY MIKE ...HIS 1ST STORY EVER N IT'S AMAZING! I stepped out outside. The area had an eerie yet calm feel to it. From here you could stand and watch the whole world go to sleep. I looked out across the view, the ocean was dead calm and the islands were surrounded in mist. The call of native birds sounded from the near by bushes. Where was she? I searched everywhere: around the bushes, in all the shadows and then it hit me, how could I have been so stupid? I found the door open. By then it was late into the night and I couldn't see a thing, yet still I knew she was there. I asked a question to the darkness "Angela, can I come in?" There was no answer, so I carefully stepped forward. Straining my eyes I tried to see where she was sitting, it was impossible to see. I moved forward again with my hands in front of me. It was her foot that I at last bumped into. I put my hand on her knee. I felt a shudder run though her body. I pulled on her arm and made her turn and face me. Her body kind of fell on me. I held her up. I felt her shaking inside. I put my arms around her and held her tightly. At that moment I got one of those strange feelings, I felt that what I was doing now was perhaps the most important thing I had ever done in my life. I felt that if I didn't hold her with enough love she would fall away, and never return. Not just from me, but from life itself. I prayed to god, I prayed to Angela's god, that he would give me enough love to hold her, and keep her with me. I thought I would hold her forever if she needed it. I felt angry that she could let herself be like that, and that she ran from me and would not talk to me. But soon I came to realize that it didn't matter, that love could over come all those stupid misunderstandings, that if someone really loved you, they would know what was in your heart and it didn't matter if you made mistakes. They would look past your words and read your heart. So that was what I thought about in the dark, hugging Angela and trying together to fight off the feelings of loneliness and sadness. I never held anyone with that much love before - but sometimes it just isn't enough. Sadly Angela took her own life on the morning of the 28/2/97. She will always be missed, and never forgotten, God bless. R.I.P.
Friendship! Everyday when i would see him, when he would hang out my heartwould skip a beat. I admit we were onl mates but i had always felt a little bit more inside! and I knew I could never tell him of it would ruin our friendship. I was pissed off 1 day and he came over, like he always would to cheer me up but this time it made me feel worse. "Guess what?" he asked his eyes lighting up "What?" i replies praying he would say heloved me as much as I loved him "I want you to meet me new GF" he said as I swear I felt as ifmy life was going to end. "Oh lovely," was all i could say I sounded like my mother with her "oh lovely." "So do you want to go meet her today?" he asked I thought and then answered "yer okay," I replied as he gave me a friend;ly hug. We were walking as a girl about the same weight as me and a bit taller with long blonde hair and big blue eyes walked our way. She grabbed my mate and they kissed passionaly, at that time my heart hurt more than it ever did in my life. Ifaked smiles but inside my heart i was crying hysterically. "Meet my gf," he said bringing her closer to me I took a step back. "hello," I said rather rudely trying not to look upset "Where ypu both wanna go?" he asked ... i sigh "I have to go I'll alk to you later,'I said giving a fake smile and walking off. Why did he have to have a girlfriend? it hurt so very much :~( we used to spend so much time together, but now we wrre so distant because of his bimbo gf. How the hell couldi compare with her? She had long blonde hair, i have brown gross curls. She was tall, i was short. She was thin, I was hippy. she was gorgous i was ugly, so i thought anyway. I was loosing the guy i have always lusted over and it was really hurting me. he came to me house at midnight with tears in his eyes. didnt know weather to be happy or sad maybe his gf dumpedhim, maybe he dumped her, maybe it was a more serios problem. "Whats a matter?" i asked concerned he looked at me "I dunno my gf well we are not getting along well we always fight but i love herm" he explained "Ypu dont love her, she's all fake I knwo you, you could never love some1 like her," I protested "You love the fact of being with some1," I continues as he looked at me "How do you know that?" he asked "Everone feels the need to have somone," I replied "Why dont you?" he asked me "I am waiting for some1, who I may never get," I gasped "Dpont tell me.. lemme guess, matt damon? ben affleck?" he jocked "Haha very funny," I said sarcasticly "Then who?" he replied as I looked into his deep green eyes "Dont worry about it," I replied "Come on you ahve to tell me," he nagged as a tear fell out of my eye, he wiped it away "Its you," I said looking up at him I had to tell him or i would loose him. "me? what do you mean?" he asked rather bluntly "I love you," i said with tears coming from my eyes i wanted to kill myself at that point I wa stotallly emabrressed he pulled me close holding me to his chest. i could hear his heart beet fast and feel him pulling me close. "I love you to," he whispered as he took my face in his hands and kissed me, I kissd him back... I woke up in the morning after a dream of me and my best mate falling inlove. what the fuck was i thinking? we were only mATES and as much as i cared he wouldnt wanna b more. so i put i t in the back of my mind and we went out as friends. friendship is the best!!!!!!
