The truth is I do remember, I
remember everything...From her thin, pale lips, to her beautiful green eyes. I
remember her pretty smile, her long, brown hair, falling down her back.
Everyone thinks I don't, but I do. I wish I didn't, but I do.
She was my best friend, my
love, the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I loved her, I still
do. I wanted to tell her how I felt, I had it all planned out. But, the day we
were supposed to meet, the day I was supposed to tell her, she vanished. No one
knows how or why. She just did. She disappeared, leaving nothing. Nothing but a
small pendant, it was her favorite, she always used it. I always keep it close
to me now. It gives me a small hope. If I have it, she has to come back to claim
it. She never told me what was so special about that pendant. She just told me
it was very important and that it meant a lot to her. I never dared to ask
anything else, afraid she would get mad.
I shake my head, I shouldn't
be dwelling in the past. I should move on. I should accept the fact that she's
not going to come back, like everyone thinks I have. It all ended five years
ago. She's been gone for five years. She is not coming back.
Tears stream down my face. I
grab the pendant and, like many times before, try to smash it. Break it into
little pieces and throw it away. But, like every time I've tried before, I
can't. Just when I'm about to do it I see her face, like always. And then my
resolve wavers and I can't do it. I can't. I just hold it tightly in my hands
and cry. I miss her so much. I want to see her soon...
The doorbell rings, I stand
up and wipe my face with my sleeve, no one can see me like this.
I go downstairs and open the
door. Outside stands a police officer, I ask what's going on, he tells me that
there has been an accident. I gasp, he tells me to accompany him. We walk. When
we stop, we're standing in front of what looks like car crash...But I can't
recognize anyone. I tell so to the officer, he looks puzzled, then tells me one
of the victims had called for me, I look around, but I still can't see anyone I
know. The officer signals me to follow him, which I do, not knowing what else
to do. He takes me away from the forming crowd. He says the one that called for
me was barely hurt, and that this person is where he is taking me. He stops, I
stop. He tells me to walk forward a little more and leaves, saying he has
things to do. I walk, looking for anyone I can recognize, but there's no one.
I turn around when I hear
someone calling me. There, just a few meters away from me, stands a small boy
with bandages wrapped around his thin arms. He doesn't look older than 13 has
short, messy blond hair and big, blood red eyes. He's looking directly at me, a
small smile on his pale lips. I look at him, he's not someone I know. He shakes
his head as if saying "no" to answer my doubts and then walks over to
me. All the while I stare, unmoving, as if in some sort of trance. He stops
right in front of me and asks in a childlike yet incredibly cold voice
"Where is the pendant?" At those words, I jump, puzzled. Did he mean
that pendant? The boy nods his head, still smiling. "Tell me, where is the
pendant?" I stand again, shocked, unmoving. How does he know about it? How
does he know I have it? I shake my head, trying to deny knowing anything about
it, but with my expression giving me away. He chuckles and says "You're a
bad, bad liar" His smile then disappears and he looks straight at my eyes,
coldly. He speaks again "Now...Give it to me" I shake my head. "No,
there's no way I'm giving it to you" That's the only thing I have left of
her, there was no way I was going to give it to anyone. Especially not a random
creepy kid I had just met. He laughs and then talks again "Well then, you
can keep it, but keep in mind you would be better off without it" I look
at him, puzzled. He just smiles, turns around and walks
away.

First part of a little series I'm working on, hope it was to your liking.
This was written a long time ago, so I'm pretty sure it's not very good, it might have various silly mistakes.
Well, hope it was to your liking.
