"My First Story♥"




Why hello there xanga! So the short stories class I'm taking this semester inspired me to write a story of my own. Sorry, I know it's a little corny. Tell me what you think anyways (: Hope you all like it!

It was an autumn day unlike any other. After frantically hitting snooze half a dozen times she rose from her bed and continued with the same monotonous routine. She was feeling confident so she put on her favorite outfit, which was still warm from the dryer. Her heart wasn't exactly warm thought. It's hard to keep a warm heart when there are pieces missing, pieces missing from all the boys who broke her heart. It was always the same, they'd brake apart her heart and keep a piece for themselves. She had her heart broken too many times and that's what made her strong. She was thin, with a body consisting entirely of legs, but she was not fragile. She applied her makeup, even though she looked better without it. As she was on her way out the door, she looked at the clock on wall, ticking as loud as the beat of her heart, 11:11 it read. So she made a wish, and of course it was about him. All her wishes were used on him. She wished that he would change his mind, that a thousand miles was a thousand too many. She didn't play any music while she made the drive to the south train station. She knew all the love songs in the world couldn't help her now. Following the lines in the road that would lead her straight to him. She swore she saw that beautiful face smiling back in the rear view mirror. And she was brought back instantly to summertime, when they would spend hours at the beach or in the car exploring every inch of each other and talking about how brilliant the beatles were. All you need is love. But those were just memories, figments of the past. The future was what lay ahead of her at the end of the road. Finally she arrived at the train station- her future became the present. She didn't bother to park, probably because she wanted to bring him back with her as soon as possible. She looked for the boy in the Red Sox's hat, with the beautiful smile. Soon their eyes met from across the tracks. He ran to her, and she began to pound louder and louder with each step he took. Steps that brought him closer to her. At last they met on her side of the tracks. Unable to control her body, she hugged him. She felt her body sink into his like a ship, their bodies two separate puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. Her heart was still falling, it was racing her tears, which began to fall onto his sweater, leaving stains that would make it impossible for him to forget her. In her mind she strung together three words, the three words that would either make or break her. "I love you." This was something she didn't plan, it was something that no one can plan. The words just spilled out of her. He cupped her chin in his hands and kissed her forehead. She took his hands and placed them where they belong, with hers. It took him over a minute to respond and she spend every single one of those sixty seconds reading his face like a book, trying to bring herself to the ending where they lived together happily ever after. Finally, he spoke. And even his voice was beautiful, deep and velvety. "Pretty girl," he said as he tucked her hair behind her ear, wiping her tears with his thumb. "I'm only seventeen, I'll be eighteen next month. Every day I look in the mirror and wonder who I am. I often feel like this world is too big and that I'm so small and insignificant. I've got a lot of growing up to do, I've got a lot to learn and I feel like leaving this town is the only way…" Moments passed, but they dragged on like hours, "Sounds to me like your running away" she said. "If you want to run away, run to me. I'll make it easier, because I'm right here, I'm not miles and miles away. I'm. Right. Here." Then she kissed him, putting every ounce of passion she could collect into that one kiss, hoping it was enough. "This something that I need to do on my own", he said. Then he let go of her hands, and took off his Red Sox's hat. His hair was messy, yet perfect. It was like all those times she used to run her hands through it when they made out, perfect and undeniably sexy. Then he placed the Red Sox's hat on her head. "Here," he said. "I want you to have this, wear it, keep it safe. You know how much I love this hat, I couldn't bear to never see it again. Will you do that for me?" He winked at her and smiled. This hat he gave her was like a little piece of his heart, "look after my heart hat, I've left it with you." How very Edward Cullen of him. She nodded, "I promise." Then he took her hands, placed them with his and instead of kissing her forehead, his favorite spot, he kissed the hat, precisely right where the big red sox's B was located. Then he walked away, boarded the train and left. There she stood in the middle of the train station, watching the train until she could no longer see it, wearing the beautiful boy's red sox's hat.

right now i'm sitting in my college dorm, in my bed, which i consider my new home. i'm trying to write an essay for my writing class, but i'm lacking creativity. so, in the mean time, i figured i would give you all a recap on the last couple life changing weeks (:

things going on in the new life of ashley:

1. my roomates and i are getting along great! makayla lives in rhode island and knows a lot of people here so she's usually off with them, but she's super nice. my other roomate emily and i have gotten really close other the last couple weeks. i got her addicted to greys anatomy! i'm going to long island this weekend with her, i can't wait (:

2. i like my new friends that i've made so far.

3. i definately have a lot more homework then i did in high school, but i'm managing. all my professors are really nice. most of them let me call them by thier first name.

4. last friday i went clubbing for the first time in providence, definately an experience.

5. i'm going to the fray concert tomorrow night at the ryan center with my sister and my cousin! (:

6. so theres this boy on my floor, i hung out with him and some of my other new friends on my first monday night here. i've pretty much had a crush on him ever since. he's tall. he's really funny. he has the best laugh i have ever heard. he has a lisp, a really deep voice and talks really fast. i think he's adorable. but as usual theres no way in hell that he feels anything towards me at all. he's in one of those "its complicated" relationships, where hes friends with this girl back home but their like more than that. he always goes off to parties with his roomates, so we rarely talk or hang out or anything. he runs a lot like me, so last week i boldly texted him and asked him to go running at the gym with me. his roomate was out so he ended up comming. other than that, nothing. i'm lame and i'm a magnet for things i can't have. even though he's only like three rooms down from me, he might as well be in a different state.

..you probably don't really care about any of this but oh well. i missed xanga and writing (:

I just had to post to tell you guys how happy you all make me. During this week I have had 13 people subscribe to my site, and heres the amazing part, 12 of them were today alone! That's an all time record for this site. You ladies really are so awesome and to thank for all your support through comments and subscriptions I decided to have my last big blow out post tomorrow!
