GO AWAY! I had the sudden urge to write it so I wrote it and since I wrote it, I might as well share it! :) This is all I have at the moment but if you would like me to continue please drop me a note at psiloveyou06@yahoo.com Thank you! Title: Can't Love You By: Pearl Sanchez "Please don't go..." She begged quietly as she wrapped her arms around me. Trying gently to push her away only made her embrace me stronger. We stood there just holding each other. Her strawberry scent... so intoxicating. I rested my forehead in between the soft part of her neck and shoulder. Suddenly I am feeling weak and I just want her to hold me. Remind me, why am I doing this again? I let my hands rest on her sides. Why do I want to leave this? I looked up trying to fight the tears threatening to fall. How did I let it get this far? "HURRY UP SHANE WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!" I yelled from the bottom of the stairs. "Go on ahead! I'll be right behind you!" My brother yelled back just then I heard a loud thud. "SHANE?!" "I'm ok! Just tripped over my own feet" "ugh" Moron... I went upstairs. I walked into his room and watched him for a second as he rummaged through his drawers. "Shane." "red or green?" Shane said holding up two different colored t-shirts. That is my brother Shane. He's my twin, my best friend, my listener, my buddy... "green." With that he threw the red shirt into my face. Yep Shane my idiot brother, you gotta love him. "I told you Shay, I'll follow you" "Why waste gas?" "Are you gonna let me drive?" He said as he held his hand out. "Psh, NO!" I said moving my keys away from him. "Alright then, I'll follow you!" "You're not borrowing any more gas money from me" "ok! Now let's go!" Shane said as he pushed me ahead of him and out of his room. On the road we stopped at a red light. Shane drove behind me. He turned his left blinker on and switched lanes. I rolled down my window. "Shane..." I stated knowing exactly what he wanted to do. "C'mon sis," Shane said as he let his engine roar "10 bucks for the winner" "You're just making that as an excuse to get money for your friggin gas!" "So you're saying you'd lose." Shane said tauntingly. "No!" "Well then, let's go!" "Shane!" Green light. "SHANE! NO! WATCH OUT!!!!" Horns blearing, tires screeching, glass shattering, metal... shane! "Shayna! Shay, honey!" My eyes jerked open. I looked up to see Jaydyn. With only the moonlight shining in the room, I could still see her. Her eyes, her lips, everything about her is beautiful. She moved her hand to caress my face. Only then did I realize that I was crying. "Aw, baby you were having the nightmare again." I wiped my face with my hands. "C'mere sweetie, let me hold you" Feeling very fragile at that moment I was more than grateful to have her there to cling to. I woke up to feel the warmness of the sun on my face. I could feel Jaydyn laying comfortably next to me with her head next to mine and her arm protectively across my stomach. I looked at her admiring her. Then I realized that I should wash up. As I was drying my face I felt two wonderfully familiar arms wrapping around me. "Hey" I said to Jaydyn's reflection in the mirror. "Hey" she said as kissed my neck, knowing that I loved it when she did that. "hehe goodmorning" I giggled. "mmm goodmorning" she said as she closed her eyes and rested her head on my shoulder. I turned around. "still tired." "yeah.. come back to bed with me?" I smiled at her and received the smile that never fails to make my heart melt. "ok"
