Crazy Mini-Van Drivers

The endless cover of the dark clouds above me only seemed to remind me of the dark hole in my chest, right where my heart used to be... Ever since 'he' left-I can't even say his name without wincing- I've been broken, empty, lost. Of course, I knew for a good reason why he left me, i wasn't... right. I think that's the best word to use. But I’m not sure.1

*"Chea! Not right! Of course, you're not right. You're insane! There's no denying it!" 'IT' said.2

"STOP IT! JUST! SHUT! UP!"3

*"Hehe. You know i won't go away. Even after all those attempts of suicide and medication, you couldn't make me go away. Hehe." 4

"Just go away, please..." I pleaded to the damn annoying voice in my head i called 'IT'. "Its all your fault anyway that he left us..." I shuddered even mentioning his name.5

*"Come on! Ya know you enjoy my company. No one else talks to you."
IT commented back.6

"Because of you! Everyone is always 'look at Talk-To-No-One Holly' or 'Insane Holly.' I could never get a friend because they all thought i was crazy. Talking to myself and such! They all thought i was insane!" I shrieked.7

*"Darling, its because you are insane." IT had a point...8

"But still couldn't you just let me have one moment of happiness! I really did love K- him." Wince. " I thought he was the one, the one who understood me and wouldn't be wierded out by me... and you! UGH! You ruin everything!" I stomped my foot down only to be splashed by water.9

I only then realized that i had been walking down the dull suburban sidewalk my wet foot just happened to land in one of the puddle that began to form. Apparently, the dark clouds above had began raining while i was having my conversation, which made me wonder if i had talked out loud (which i normally did when having conversation with IT). However, it didn't matter no one was around to here me, they were all in their safe dry warm houses probably watching that new vampire movie for the hundredth time.... The one about love... Wince.10

*"HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!" The shouting was painfully ringing in my head.11

"WHAT!?"12

*"Rude much? Anyway, get over that guy! I don't even remember his name... Anyway, he was a lame as-" I stopped listening to IT right then because someone was running toward me from across the street a few houses down.13

"KALUB!" My heart was there again, not like some dark cloud, but there and whole and well and- OH! It was everything! 14

*"Ugh! Here comes that lame as-" 15

"HOLLY!" Kalub's lovely smooth voice called over IT's complaint.16

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" My joy was almost touchable.17

He was almost to me. “I’VE COME TO APOLOGIZE!" He just had to cross the street and then we could be in each other's arms once more! "I'M SORRY! I TRULY DO LOV-" WHACK!!!!!18

SCREEEEEEEEEEECH!!!!19

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~20

That was the end of Kalub... He died in the emergency room 20 minutes later... my heart died with him..... Why did there have to be crazy mini-van drivers that speed around corners like that?! I don't know, but I'd just lost my true love... What now?...21

*"Find something better to do."22

"SHUT UP!"
