15 July 2007"Brad,get the fuck off me!" I laughed like it was the funniest joke i had ever heard.Brad chuckled showing those deep dimples that seems very fake.I never realised that Brad's eyes looks very brownish.The sunlight heats my bare leg and hair.Slowly,i pushed him away by pushing my palms towards his chest.I gaze the open sky for a moment.The sky never fail to amaze me with its wide spread of light blue with a dash of soft white cloud with peculiar shapes that could never be seen the same when it's dispersed as the wind blows it away.My salty sweat drips down my untrimmed fringe that cover almost half of face.The strong wind blew the sand on the field causing the field to look brown rather than green.I lifted my heads up and pick up the wait of my abdomen.Brad were standing next to me,bending down towards me."Hey Alex,you ok? Sorry bout the bruise," When Brad accidentally hits me on the ground i almost forgot half of the thing happen that morning.The bruise on my leg looks fine to me eventhough it hurts alot.The agonising pain not seems to bother me.Brad slowly lifted me up with both of his hand.His firm hand,grabbed my armpit and hip."Come on,you don't look ok to me." As i stand on my feet,a wave of pain attacks my body. I groan in pain. My eyes began to squint as the pain were excruciating.Brad expression began to change from a friend to a worried mom.He wrap my hand around his neck and hold my hip.I can't believe that a small bruise could be able to make my body suffer.Slowly,i limped out of the field with Brad.
"What the fuck! You just gonna let us get beaten by these bafoons! Come on man,Alex can handle himself!" said one of my classmate who i don't really care about.
"Shut the fuck up Drake! He's in pain because of me and i rather lose than leaving Alex just like that!"
"Brad...It's alright.I know how much you wanna trash those 2/4 class.I'll be ok..."my voice almost sounds like i was about to tear up.
"You don't crap around with me!My best friend,my fault,i'm the one responsible for you"
".....Thanks Brad.Seriously....i mean it."
"Come on.I got your back."
PresentBrad hang on i'm coming.The dried up tears began to make my face sticky.The coldness of the night did not seem to bother me.I sprint across my void deck and into the big park.There's a strange pounding in my heart.Eventhough i was almost dead beat,i kept on running.The strong bond that i had with Brad is fueling me up.The quicker i ran,the more adrenaline my body produce.Brad,the only one that helped me in every crap in life,was about to catch his last breath and i'm still not beside him,holding his hand for the last time.Brad is in pain and i'm not there for him.I ran as fast as my legs could carry.The sweat drips in my eyes causing a slight sting in my eyes.I still didn't let it bothers me because in this very moment,he's suffering.
6 January 2008 "Happy Birthday my super duper awesome friend!"
"Brad! It's freaking 12 in the morning dude.Can't you just talk to me tommorow?"
"Oh...you're sleeping.I thought you're up! Well...you know what...i don't fucking care if you're asleep or not! I got something to say and i really want to say it as soon as possible.Hmm...i just wanna have this time to say that you're the only thing that kept me going in life.Without looking at my best friend's face for a day would be torture for me.I wanna thank you Alex for all the fun time you had with me.It sure made my life much fun after my father's death.Now,not having a dad to share my happiness,really sucks,but you sure know how to make me smile everytime with your crappy love life.I appreciate everything you did for me and i hope that this friendship will go on no matter what.I don't really have a present to show you how much you means to me and hope with this,you could see how happy i am when you're born.Thanks Alex,for everything."
"....Wow....I'm truly am....honoured that i means alot to you....You don't really have to give me a gift Brad.Seeing you in every moment of my school life is rewarding enough.Thanks"
PresentI'm about to reach the entrance of the park.My eyes were locked to the park.I can't see Brad.Where the fuck is he? My whole body began to shiver as i get closer to the gate.The road were empty and the sound of my slipper tapping on the pavement make a guard dog nearby to bark.The moonlight shine on the playground making my vision much clearer.My eyes scan everywhere for Brad."Brad! Where are you?! Brad!" My lung almost burst. The tear came back down.I was crying more than i was shouting.Without hesitation,i dash towards the tree where i'm suppose to meet Brad.Through the small bushes and into the little grassland.The sharp branches cuts my arm causing me to bleed.I grip my wound to prevent it from bleeding.I think the pain i'm experiencing right now is not even close to the impending pain when i'll set my eyes on Brad's cold body.The strong wind blew stronger.I can still hear the dog's bark.As i approached the grassland,i stare at the tree,it was deserted.All i can see was the long trunk and the long lushes branch of the tree but no Brad.The urge of me to find out grew stronger. How can he walk away while he's injured? I stepped on the wet grass and walk towards the tree in astonishment.The droplets on the grass sips into my slipper."Brad...Where are you?" Part of me felt happy that i did not have to see his dead body but the curiousity builds up.I inspect the tree carefully.I sat near the big roots,staring blankly to nowhere.I was confused.I'm very sure that Brad was in need of my help but he's not here.Quickly,i took out my phone and called Brad.After 12 or 10 rings,i cancel it.My arms were crossed to keep me warm from the cold night.i look at my watch,and it shows 7.57pm.Brad just called mintues ago.Why didn't he answer my call? Tree accompanied me through the night.Slowly,i rest my self against the tree trunk.The tranquility of the night ease my worry.Exhaling the fresh air relaxes me for a moment.The smell of wet grass and the sound of leaves filled the empty park.I can't believe it,i'm still calm eventhough i don't know where the hell is Brad.I call Brad's home immediately.After a few ring,i hung up.There's nobody home.Why am i feeling so calm when my best friend gave me a frightening phone call saying that he needs help and he's not here?! Maybe,it's because i felt too relief not seeing his dead body.I stood up and wipe the grass that's sticking on my butt.My eyes scan the grassland again like a security camera.I sighed and began to walk away from the tree.I'm dissapointed,worried,nervous,tired and pissed. I drag my foot out of the grassland hoping to meet Brad tommorow in school. The playground is empty like a graveyard.My vision were being blocked by the thin fog.I'm not in the mood to be home.So i sat on the swing and began to playback what happen with me and Ivana.I believe Ivana was about to tell me something important.But when it comes to this,Brad is far more major then her.I hold out my phone and search for Ivana's name in my contact.Should i call her? Maybe i should,she seems very serious about it.
As i was about to call her i heard a hissing sound behind me."Psssstt...........Go...to...the...tree" It sounded like someone familiar.I quickly get up and look around like a mad women that just lost her son.I can see anyone.There was only the empty playground and me.The strong wind blew the sand causing my slipper to be very uncomfortable."Go...to...the...tree" My jaw began to shiver. Without hesistation,i ran back to the tree.I was scared.It's better to run away then to be attack by a person i can't even see.I reached the small grassland again but this time,i saw a small light flickering.The yellow light dance with the wind gracefully.I walk towards the candle knowing that is going to be something bad.But i was wrong,it was a small cake with a candle on top.It's white and creamy,it must be vanilla.My brain began to filled with big question mark.The cake was nicely been put under a small mat.I squat down towards the cake to examine the words written with frosting.It was dark,and i barely could read it."Hap...Happy...Ann.." The last part of the sentence were far from the candle so the letter was hard to be seen.What could this mean? 'Happy' what? "It says happy anniversary you moron" My eyes open as wide as it can be.That's not me.I was about to turn around and punch the person's crouch but the person sounded like Brad. Swiftly,i stood up and try to catch a glimpse of the person by looking at the person from the corner of my eye.The stranger seems to be the same height as me.Somehow,he smells like someone familiar.Terrified,i turn around.
I almost scream my lungs out when i my eyes set upon his brown eyes and flawless face.It was Brad.Without thinking,i hugged him.It seems like i miss him for million of years.My arm wrapped around his body.He chuckled a little.He doesn't know how happy i was to see his face again.It was almost to unreal.My chin was on his shoulder.He touched my back.I was almost about to hug him until he was unable to breathe.I could never forget how he smells like.I was almost breatheless. My bad thought of him being dead and myself being all alone seems to fade away.Brad is here.He's real and here right now.
"Hey what's up with all the hugging."
"Shut the fuck up! I thought you're fucking dead!" i pulled myself away from Brad.
"Gotcha"He giggled
"I was just playing with you! Chill dude!"
"...you don't know how pathetic i was knowing that you're in trouble!"
"Sorry.I just want you here for a celebration.You forgot?"
"Wow,when you say you're dying i almost forgot my name.Hmm what about today?" i shrugged
"Alex...Alex...How could you forget about our third anniversary with our Old Oak"
"Old Oak?...Oh yeah the tree...I thougt...What's today's date?"
"17 May 2008 sir-forgets-alot!"
"What the fuck! How could i forget about today? Crap...I'm so sorry"
"That's aite.I almost forgot too but when i was walking to school with you,i remember.During recess i didn't ran to you because i want you to be away from me for just few hours.I ditched Jeff and Carl after that.I felt so guilty for leaving you just like that Alex.Then after school,i ran to the nearest bakery.This all may seems corny but to tell you the truth,i don't know how to show a person that i appreciate them.Take this cake as a sign of our anniversary and my gift of apology.I'm so sorry Alex." Brad looks truly sad.
"....Wow....Seriously Brad,i don't know how should i feel.To be mad at you for not telling me this or to be happy you to all this trouble to celebrate Old Oak."
"I know i'm wrong but....i'm sorry Alex...i am..truly am sorry...Alex please...lets get over this and enjoy our lil' party"
"I guess there's no point being angry at you," My frown turns to a warm smile.
After that heart-wrenching conversation,me and Brad rest our body on the trunk and indulge our appetite with the moist vanilla cake.My whole mind felt very relaxed after listening to Brad's explanation.With sweets in my mouth,how could i ever be tensed.Brad just stare at the open sky while singing our favourite.It felt very touching.I just hope that me and Adeline could have this beautiful moment together.My shirt move like a ripple of wave as the strong wind blow. We let the moment sink in.I didn't know Brad can sing.His singing was very melodious and it seem so effortless.The silent between us did not seem awkward,it is rather,relaxing.I lay back and enjoy the wonderful moment.
The next dayBrad was suppose to call me. School is going to end soon and Brad and Ivana wasn't anywhere to be seen. It's such a bummer sitting alone in the classroom,staying aloof from my pathetic classmates. Throughout the lesson,my eyes were fully shut and i kept on drooling. I was a little worried about Brad for not coming to school.He just message me about how fun it was yesterday and that's it.The long needle of the clock is pointing 12 and the smaller one is pointing 1.Five more minutes to go.Miss Romano were patiently teaching the class.Her pencil skirt make her look less appealing and i usually hate they way she said 'class' with her stuck up voice.I tapped my foot against the concrete ground.I want to talk to Ivana badly and i starting to miss Brad's singing.As the bell rings,i quickly stuff all my worksheets in my beg.I haste to Ivana's class.I wasn't really thinking straight.Why do i want to meet that creep again? But after the talk we had yesterday she made me feel curious.My crumpled school uniform makes me look very stupid and unappealing.Sweats began to drip down on my neck.When i was about to turn to the staircase,my body felt a hard impact and i fell to the ground. "Oh i'm so sorry" i apologise to the person that i haven't even looked at.My heart fell to the floor when i saw that familiar raven hair and that perfect lips.It was Adeline."...You moron...watch where you going!" Adeline voice flew right to my ears.I sat on the floor hoping that i was invisible.
BradDamn it,where is she.I seriously hope that ditching Alex is worth it.My eyes scan to every corner of the void deck.It has been 20 mintues.I'm starting to worry about Alex.Should i call him and lie to him? After,that night,i'm very sure that what i'm doing now is good for him.Suddenly i heard a soft voice behind me,it was her.
"Sorry i'm late.I making sure that my mom know that i'm sick"
"It's fine...So did you told Alex yesterday?"
"I was about too.Then someone called him and he ran off"
"That was me.I thought i told you not to tell him yet"
"....Brad...i can't keep on puting an act infront of him forever"
"Not forever,just long enough for him to forget about Adeline"
"I'm trying my hardest.Why don't you just tell him about everything? He's your bestfriend"
"....I know but by doing this,it won't hurt him and that's the last thing i want him to feel,hurt"
"Hope so..."
"Thanks Ivana"
