as the car trundled along the dirt rode i wached out the window at the passing bush that was the australian out back. i remembered the last time i'd driven down this road towards this destination, wide eyes and high expectations of this new holiday destination Donnely River. this time was different, this time i wanted the road to stretch on forever, i was scared of what i would have to face when i arrived. i hadn't been back since last summer, as much as i loved the place my reason for going back was him, and he wasn't there anymore. now it had been so long since i'd seen him, how different would it be... how different would he be. i knew what had happened. the car bumped over a crack in the road and i brought my attention back to where i was, in a small taxi with nothing but a small handbag as luggage. it was hot and the aircon wasnt working, i pulled my hair up into a loose pony tail off my neck in the hope of more comfort. no luck. the taxi slowed and i turned to the window again. i saw the small mining village swing into view and wached as the world around me came to a stand still. here i was. here i didn't want to be. but here i had to be or i couldn't live with myself. trying to steady my breathing i stepped slowly out of the taxi only to be nocked to the floor by a hysterical 9 year old. the tears flooding down her sweet little face reminded me of the heavyness of this visit. i let her lead me to one of the cottages dragging my feet, willing for the letter i'd recieved 2 days earlier to be wrong somehow. up the stairs. through the door. into the front bedroom. my heart leaped and as he turned all my hope vanished, it was obvious even though the sight of his strong body went against it, it was obvious he was a dead boy.
just for u pat. the modern day romeo and juliet... ill make u pay for the rest :P lol *tear*ryans so delicious
