The sky's a'cryin' (Open)

[zakattack]

Deval’s body trembles around me, if from the cold or some other reason I can’t really make out. All I focus on is the way he envelopes me in his arms and how wonderfully amazing it feels to be in them. I don’t know why but I don’t want to move, the cold the rain the boy on the ground are so far from my mind. Snuggling in a bit closer, just to stay warm

[/i], I try to silently urge him to run with me. Away from here, away from all this. Lets just disappear into the night and forget the whole thing happened. I know Deval couldn’t do that though, there’s something in him that was just like Benat, always trying to help.

And once more he proves that he’s braver than me as he unwinds our bodies and looks at the boy as he speaks. It’s almost as if he’s still protecting me the way he grips me tight and shifts me behind him once more. Deval’s hand grips my arm not letting me squirm away, like he’s scared I’ll leave him…I would never leave him like this. Watching cautiously, hardly breathing as the rain keeps beating down on us, I feel him tense as he address the strange boy. His voice is cold and hard not like it was with me in the alley way and I bite down on my lip as I hear him tell the other boy to leave.

I want to step in, to stand up and agree, but right now I’m so transfixed on what is playing out in front of us that I just mumbled. “There’s a healer down the road, she might be able to help with your arm. She’s got a blue door on the front of her house.”[/color] I only know this because we’ve been there a few times with illness and our own broken limbs, when my brother crushed his ankle in a fall it cost us almost all the grain we had for a month to get it fixed. Hopefully this boy isn’t in the same situation, however I’m not about to offer any more help as I duck behind Deval once more and look up at him. The water had turned me back into a soaking mess, my hair in knots around the braid I had tried to keep it in, my clothes drenched to the point they were sagging under the weight of the water. Tugging on Deval’s arm I look back at the alley and then realize, I need to get home. Nothing good could come out of this now. “We all should go home. I don’t want to get into trouble.”[/color] I didn’t want to leave Deval, and the way he clasps on to me I feel like he feels the same.

This guy. First he tried to comfort me now he's telling me to leave, like I did something wrong. I'm extremely confused right now. Again,it feels like he's protecting her in a way.

What did I do? I don't even know him!

I suddenly start feeling angry.

Why should I leave? Why can't him?

Right as I was about to say no, the girl tells me that there's a healer down the road with a blue door that could help with my arm. I head out, but not before spitting at the boy's feet.

"Jackass," I mumble under me breath.

The girl said something, but I didn't catch it. I was already headed out. I don't want anything to do with him anymore. And I was wrong before. This day did get worse.
