I was sooo happy! Joana could spend the day with us. Now it wasn’t going to be as hard to get around!
" So where do you guys want to go first? "
" Well……there was this one ride that I heard about… Alpengeist, I think. It sounds awesome! " Zac said with delight. " Do you know where that is? "
" Yup! That is one of my fave rides! Follow me! " She spoke with such joy, yet the sadness and pain were still in her eyes.
" Let’s go! " Zac shouted. He started to run.
I decided to be daring and grab Joana’s hand. I started to run, dragging her behind me. She was laughing and smiling. She looked beautiful.
Zac tripped and fell as we were running down some stairs. I let go of Joana’s hand and ran to Zac. He looked hurt. Ike followed me. I almost forgot about Joana. We left her standing behind us.
*******************************************************************************
I sat down on the steps. My asthma was acting up again. As I was waiting for Ike, Tay, and Zac, I started to think about the past 6 months.
A lot has happened to me in the past 6 months. Moving back to where I grew up in New Hampshire from Virginia, where I had a good life and I was happy. Losing the love of my life. That’s when it all started.
The first time the depression really kicked in was when I broke his heart. I hurt him so badly, and I didn’t even mean to. It was either get killed or let this asshole kiss me and feel me up. I didn’t want to be hurt. But, in the long run, I think that it would have been better if I had let him beat me up. I would have healed, and I wouldn’t have hurt Nick.
Nick did forgive me, but 3 days before I moved. He told me that he loved me, and he always would. He said if I wasn’t moving That we would get back together and be together forever.
3 days later, Nick and I said good-bye. I knew that I would probably see him again next summer, but inside I felt that I would never see him again.
" Joana? Hello? " I jumped about a mile.
It was Taylor. " Sorry… my mind was on another planet. "
" That’s okay. Let me tell you what’s going on. Zac fell and hurt his bad knee. Ike is going to take him back to the hotel and stay with him. We are going to stay here and have fun. Ike will pick us up at 12:45, and no later. Is that okay with you? "
Is that okay with me? Is that okay with me???????? " Sure, Tay. That’s fine with me. "
" Okay. Let’s go!!!!"
*******************************************************************************
Joana and I said good-bye to Ike and Zac, and then we were off to have some fun.
" So, what were you thinking about when I came to tell you what was going on?"
" Nothing really. Just about my past…… I really don’t feel like talking about it. "
" Okay. No pressure. So…… what do you want to do? "
" Well…" She said with a smile on her face, " let’s go ride Alpengeist! "
" Okay! Race ya!!!!! "
" You don’t even know where it is!!!!!!!! "
She started to run, laughing as she went. I ran, but I couldn’t keep up with her. She may have short legs, but she sure can run!
Her blond hair was flying as she ran. It was shining in the sunlight. It looked like pure gold. I wanted so much to be able to run my finger’s through it’s beautiful, wavy thickness.
