Welcome ,
to a world of Random pieces.
By yours truly, djayysaurus.
Okay, enough of the serious stuff. x3
This world has little stories and poems in it when I get bored, so I hope you enjoy them. Most of the short stories I won't finish cause they're mostly small blips of my dreams that don't get finished :>
But yeah, that's it. Enjoy!
You've got a smile that could light up this whole town.
I thought it was going to be just a regular walk through the forest; looking at trees, observing nature, finding tracks. Everything that's boring to me.
But I never thought I'd find someone so sweet in the forest. Or, find out something about my best friend that I'd never known.
---------------------
"But I don't want to go on a walk!" I whined to my best friend Skylar. He was just one year older than me at seventeen years old, and he thinks he can boss me around, but I couldn't ask for it any other way.
"Come on, please, Keira? You're coming with meeeeee." Skylar smirked and winked, his blue green eyes contrasting against his red hair dazzling me. I couldn't help myself when he did that, and I sighed in surrender as he won once again.
We went right after, going with what we had on us now. The forest guides were providing us with everything we needed because it was only a three hour hike. And, it was just the two of us, so we could walk as slowly as we wanted to. Birds chirped, rivers ran, and sounds of nature flooded our ears instead of the usual city life.
Skylar suggested we stop at a river and sent the guide off, since we could follow the trail right back to where we started. He dropped his pack on a rock and lay down where he was, closing his eyes. "Are you going somewhere?" Skylar asked me with his eyes closed. I swore under my breath; Skylar always knew when I was doing something.
"Yes, I'm going to have a look around." My camera was dangling from my neck as I walked away to take some photography. There were so many possibilities of what I could photograph that it was too hard for me to decide. I stared up at the tree tops and the sun peeking through when a rustle from around me startled me. "Who's there?" I called out, slightly afraid of what could be lurking around.
"Just another person," said the voice, slightly tenor in tone. I turned to see who it was, and a guy with blonde shaggy hair and bright blue eyes came out from behind the trees with a smile that could light the room. "I'm Hayden. The pleasure is mine." He offered out his hand in greetings as I took it and shook it.
"Keira. And it's nice to meet you, too." I smiled genuinely at him. "Would you like to come back with me to meet my brother? We're about to get off the trail and head home." My sudden courage of inviting this person I've just met surprised me, but Hayden nodded and said yes.
'
We trecked back to Skylar and made our way back on the trail, arriving where we started about an hour later. Hayden came home with us, and there was obviously a connection between us. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a look in Skylar's eyes that I'd never seen before. Something along the eyes of jealousy. His eyes darted up and met mine, and I looked away quickly, directing my eyes down at my hand entwined with Hayden's.
It was still early when we got home, three o'clock being the time. "Why don't we go to the mall?" Hayden asked mostly me. I looked over at Skylar who was just coming out of the bathroom. I looked at him with pleading eyes and eventually gave in. At the mall, Hayden kept me close at his side, our hands never separating. Everywhere we went, people looked at us, two young kids in love. And at that moment, I thought I was, and I was positive that Hayden felt the same way.
Unless he was one of those man whores that liked to mess with girls just to get in their pants.
We walked into FYE, and Skylar stalked off in a different direction than the one Hayden and I were walking in. He led me by hand to the back of the store where the posters were and pulled me to him in the corner. "You know I'm starting to really fancy you," Hayden whispered quietly as he nuzzled my ear. I simply nodded as he tilted up my chin and pressed his lips to mine slowly and my eyes fell shut. Everything felt perfect and time stopped completely until the sound of a familliar voice caused me to come crashing back down to earth.
"KEIRA WHAT THE HELL!" I jerked away from Hayden to see a frustrated Skylar staring back at me, clear hurt on his face. Hurt, betrayal, and for reasons I didn't understand. "Sorry, Hayden, hold on." I ran after my best friend, worried about what was wrong.
"SKYLAR!" I shouted as I spotted him walking away, running faster. "Skylar come back!" He stopped in front of the Hot Topic and I nearly ran into him and would've knocked him over, if he hadn't caught me. "Skylar... what's... wrong?"
Skylar was silent for awhile and wouldn't look me in the eye. He pulled me around the corner and outside of the mall and pushed me up against the wall. "This is why," he simply said before he pushed his lips against mine just a little too forcefully. I hadn't had water all day, and running just now had dehydrated me, and I couldn't help but black out.
Goodbye my almost lover. Goodbye my hopeless dream.
Uh, this was based off a dream I had. The original character is obviously the one telling the story from first POV. And is being submitted for the Your *Amazing* OC! contest.
NOTE: The one actually entered is on my other world, E-Juliet ~, so this is just a copy.
-----------------------------------------------------------
We were being held hostage. By who or what, I know not, but hostage all the same.Three people to a cabin, two cabins for all six of us. Rane, Eden, and I together, and Maximillian, Oliver, and Laké together. It was weird, the way that we were grouped, but I was over it. I just wanted the hell out.
Two weeks we all followed routine of the stupid people who ordered us to do various tasks. They told us when to eat, when we could all talk to each other, when were allowed to pee. Everyday at dinner - if you could call a broth with a slice of bread and some chicken dinner - was the only time we were all allowed to see each other. It was that time that we were allowed to talk, and do what we want. Of course, the stupid people were always nearby, just trying to "keep the peace".
It was unusually silent this time at the table, just the sounds of silverware hitting plates and six teenagers eating like they've never eaten before in their lives. It was too awkward for me, and I hated it. I glanced over at Rane; his five foot five self was unusually silent, and his case of Napoleon Complex wasn't anywhere to be seen. Maximillian, Eden, and Oliver weren't talking much either. I'd expect them to be talking amongst themselves, but they weren't. And Laké, the biggest ass hole of us all, wasn't talking either. He was off in his own little world, probably dreaming about the cookies that he'd never get.
"So, I think I want out of here," I said quietly, picking at my bread and throwing it into my soup. I wasn't hungry, because lunch was just three hours ago. I knew I should eat, because I might not be able to sleep at night, but I couldn't bring myself to put the spoon to my lips and suck.
They all stopped and stared at me, giving me a look that said Don't we all?
"I mean-- ugh, nevermind.." I sighed and played with my spoon, picking it up and taking a sip. It was cold already. Figures; this place was cheap.
After dinner, we were all locked in for the night. The stupid people would lock us into our cabins and make their way to go catch up on their sleep. It was roughly eight o'clock with nothing to do but talk. Eden and I called top bunks for our cabin, while Rane got to sleep on the bottom. But we all came together on my top bunk, just sitting and talking about whatever came to mind.
But the same thing that happened at dinner happened now; no one wanted to talk! This was bothering me. "Someone speak? Please?"
"Alright. Here, I'm speaking." Rane's voice sounded annoyed. And I thought Laké was the biggest ass hole in the world, but things change, apparently.
"I know a way we can get out of here. This place." It was risky, but he and Eden were all up for it. Anything to get out of this hell hole.
After telling them, we decided we had to go and tell the other three. I knew how to get out of the cabin without a sound, crawling through the hole under one of the bunks to get to the other side. I was the only one that went, just in case stupid guard people were doing inspections.
"That's a great idea!" Maximillian said, the naivety in his voice clear.
“Sure, it is, but what does that mean for all of us in a whole?” Laké, always thinking more into things than he needed to.
The plan was that we would take two of the vehicles that the camp had and drive as fast as we could with them. Tonight. But we had to do it quickly, or else it would’ve been an epic fail. Along the road, we’d have to split up so the chances of them catching us were lowered.
I didn’t respond to him, because the truth hurt too much. I couldn’t say it. I didn’t want to say it. I couldn’t admit.
“It’d mean chances of Maximillian, Laké, and I seeing you, Eden, and Rane ever again are almost never.” Dammit, Oliver. At least he’d said it, and not me.
And of course, me being the emotional person I am, I started crying. “N-no! That can’t be! Maybe we could find someplace to meet outside, or… or…” But there was nothing I could do. We’d end up separating. We all might never see each other again. Knowing that even though we’d all gain something as soon as we got out, we would all lose something that we cared about. Each other.
I went back to my original cabin and told them of the plan. We were going to do it tonight. The other three from the other cabin came to mine, and we were all to make a run for it from here. It was closer to the area where all the cars were kept than theirs was.
Rane picked the lock to the cabin door open, and we silently manoeuvred through the night, slowly approaching the garage with all the cars. Eden and I tried our best not to show we were crying. We couldn’t help it. She’d be losing her brother Oliver, and her two best friends Maximillian and Laké. I’d be losing all three of them.
We made it to the garage safely, and now it was Laké’s turn to shine, his turn to help in a way. He had to hot wire the cars, and he knew how to do that. I didn’t bother asking him why and how he knew, but it was mostly because I couldn’t. My throat had closed on me, and no air was going in. I couldn’t stop crying, and neither could Eden.
I glanced over at Maximillian, and he was crying his eyes out. I went over and hugged him, and I couldn’t contain myself any longer. Tears streamed out of my eyes as I felt my heart fall apart. These were three people that I couldn’t live without, and now I might have to live without them. I told him I loved him in more ways than one, and that I couldn’t exactly explain what it meant.
I couldn’t say goodbye to Laké. It would’ve interfered with the concentration required to hot wire the car. I poked him on the side and laughed without humour as I whispered a soft goodbye to him, saying that I loved him also. Right after, he’d finished the first car, and now he had to work quickly to do the second. The stupid guard people could be waken up by the sound of the car starting and then we’d all be right back where we started. As soon as the second one was ready, it was time to floor it and get out.
Eden jumped into the passenger’s seat and Rane in the driver’s seat of one car, and Laké would be getting into the driver’s seat of the other. Maximillian had already claimed “shotgun”, leaving Oliver with the backseat. And he was the last person that I could say bye too.
“I can’t do this,” I said between sobs. I really couldn’t. I’d liked Oliver in so many ways. It wasn’t even liked, more like loved. I’d loved him as a friend, I’d loved him as a brother, I’d loved him in a relationship way, even if the feelings weren’t returned, and then back again to a brother. He’d been there when everyone else had just seemed to fail me.
He took me in his arms and nuzzled my head. “I know.” And that was all he needed to say. I wrapped my arms around him - damn him for being taller than me, but that was far from the point – and cried like I’d never had before. I didn’t cry this hard when my brother was killed in the army. It was a new kind of pain. I’d lose people, but I’d have to live knowing that they could come back. That we could all be together again.
"I have always loved you. Not necessarily in that way all the time, but a sort of love nonetheless." It was one of the biggest confessions that I have made in my life, and his only response was a tightening of the arms, and a soft ‘I love you, too’ in reply. I could hear him holding back tears, also.
The car behind him started, and Laké pulled the door shut behind him. “Let’s go!” He shouted, just as doors flew open and stupid guard people started flooding out.
It was the last thing I’d expected from Oliver: he kissed me hard before jumping into the car, holding onto my hand as long as possible until it was only our fingers that touched. As Rane stepped on the accelerator, our hands parted, and the last thing I saw on the three of their faces were looks of grief as they followed behind, turning the opposite direction we had at the intersection.
