Meet You Again In Life, chapter 1
Isabella woke up at 8:00am and started to cry. Today was going to be the day that she left the town she thought was her home town where she was born but it ends up that she was born in Albany, New York. She started packing the rest of her things and went downstairs. Her parents were sitting at a TV box that they used as a table since their kitchen table was already in New York. They seen the tears running down her face and they said "Sweetie, you will love it there. It might be hard at first but you have cousins to be with and the neighborhood has a lot of children to play with."
Isabella responded in a sarcastic voice "Oh and leaving all my friends here is going to be fun too?"
Then before her parents could answer, she stormed out of the empty house and ran for 10 minutes not stopping until she remembered who she had to say good bye too. She thought to herself "How could I forget about him. Maybe the stress of screaming at her parents. But how!?"
She slowed down from running to a slow walk and stopped in front of his house. She looked at her watch and thought "Oh god...it was only 8:25 am. I hope he is up. Please be up please."
She hesitantly walked up to the stairs and before she could knock, he ran out of the house and seen the tears. He stopped and asked "What is wrong? Why are you crying? Did someone do somethin..."
Before he could finish talking, she put her hand over his mouth and told him not here. She then began pulling him by his hand to the neighborhood park. When there, she sat him down on the swings and reassured him that no one hurt her but she had to tell him the truth.
“Billie Joe,…� when she spoke his name, her voice started cracking and he could tell that she was going to cry.
“Billie Joe…umm…this is really going to hurt me more than it will hurt you but….�
She stopped and stared into his green eyes and then he asked. “What is it tell me.�
Then she started to slowly swing and she continued. “Billie Joe I am moving to New York today and …�
She stopped and looked at him and he had tears pouring down his face. Then he got up and ran and didn’t stop when Isabella told him to stop. She had no clue where he was going and she didn’t want to leave without saying good bye and to not hear his voice one last time before she left. She started to get tired really quickly and then she saw him. She walked over to the creek where he had a stick and was slowly stroking the water.
She said “Howdy stranger why did you run off on me? I wanted to say goodbye and you ran off�
He looked at her and didn’t respond. Isabella started to slowly walk over to him and he just stared. “What did you drink another bottle of “lemonade� from Jarred?� she asked jokingly.
“Hey that wasn’t funny.� He finally said.
“Yes it was. You should have seen your face when you found out it had fish pee in it.�
“Izzy, you can’t leave me. What am I going to do, we were supposed to go to the prom together. Don’t leave. I hate 3rd grade as it is but with you leaving, I don’t know what I will do.�
“I don’t have a choice. And even if I did, do you honestly believe that I would give you up to live in Albany? I have never even heard of Albany let alone live there.� She told him as she held her hand out to help him up the bank. Then, as he grabbed her hand, he fell in the creek pulling her with him.
“Why didn’t you let go of my hand if you knew you were falling?� a wet Isabella said.
“Who said I knew that I was falling?� As he said that, he splashed more water on her making her jump on him.
She pushed him under the water causing him to get completely soaked. Then he did the same to her so they continued getting wetter and colder every minute but they didn’t care, it could be the last time they see each other. Billie Joe took her hand and was about to give her a kiss when they slightly heard a voice say “Check the creek, they have to be somewhere around here.� When they heard that, they looked at each other and started to slowly walk then sped up a bit. Then they jumped into a bush to hide. Then they seen a police car pull up to the opening in the bushes to get to the creek. He slowly walked down the steep bank and called for more people to help search. He started to walk over to where they were and Billie Joe started to breath faster. Isabella could tell that he was getting scared.
“Izzy this has been the greatest day ever even though what happened earlier in you telling me you were leav…�
Before he could finish, Isabella put her hand over his mouth to keep him shut until the police officer left.
It was already getting dark and the police officer was about to quit searching. He called on the walky-talky and said “Tell the families that they aren’t at the cree…� Something suddenly caught his eye and he stopped talking. Isabella and Billie Joe sensed that he had seen them or at least movement. The police officer started walking over to the exact location to where they were laying down. Billie Joe was breathing heavily again and then he kissed Isabella. When he did that, they kept kissing and then the police officer opened the bush and seen them kissing. When that happened they broke apart frantically and the police officer confirmed that he found them and to inform the parents of the children. Then Isabella and Billie Joe made the quickest decision that they had ever made in their lives and they ran while the police officer was still on the walky-talky. The police officer shouted “Stop this instance.� They heard the police officer but kept running down the creek bank. They then climbed the tallest tree they could find and sat there out of breath hoping that the officer didn’t see them.
“That was close� said Isabella.
“Yeah real close but we can’t stay up here forever you know.� said Billie Joe still out of breath.
“But we can try� said Isabella giving a little laugh.
“Yeah I guess. Um….eh…um about earlier in the bush� said Billie Joe.
“What about it? Am I a bad kisser?� Said Isabella laughing.
“No you are actually good but I want to know if you felt that I um…..I can’t think of the word to put in.�
“Just say what you feel and I will try and put in a word for you. Ok?� said Isabella.
“Well did I umm….something your personal space.� said Billie Joe.
“I don’t know a word to put in that sentence either but no you didn’t. I liked it.� said Isabella.
“Really?!� said Billie Joe with a little smile on his face.
“No I am lying.� said Isabella sarcastically but Billie Joe didn’t hear the sarcasm and he said “Oh� with his smile turning into a small frown as he looked down the tree that they had recently climbed.
“Holy shit!� said Billie Joe noticing how high they climbed in less than two minutes.
“What?� Isabella said in a worried voice.
“Look at how high we climbed. I can’t even climb ten feet in the tree in front of my house.� said Billie Joe still looking down at the ground.
“Billie Joe, I wasn’t lying I was being sarcastic. And yeah we did climb high.� Isabella said also looking down now. Then Isabella lifted Billie Joe’s head up and gave him another kiss only this time they weren’t planning on getting interrupted. They kissed constantly for 5 minutes and then they had lights flashing in their eyes….again. They didn’t want to seperate but they couldn’t stay up there getting in more trouble than what they already were in especially with their parents..
Isabella responded in a sarcastic voice "Oh and leaving all my friends here is going to be fun too?"
Then before her parents could answer, she stormed out of the empty house and ran for 10 minutes not stopping until she remembered who she had to say good bye too. She thought to herself "How could I forget about him. Maybe the stress of screaming at her parents. But how!?"
