Our Love Will Remain (PART 1)

A night in Seattle.
Rain poured from the sky over Seattle, and it was the only sound Spider could hear. Spider felt alone in his 2 bedroom top floor apartment, it wasn't originally just meant for him it was meant for him and April, his one and only love. She gave him everything she even gave him his name Spider because he didn't like being called Andrew anymore, he wasn't the nerdy kid he was back in high school, and his old name did not fit him anymore nor would it ever. Spider grabbed the bottle of rum that was sitting on the coffee table and drank until it was gone, witch wasn't hard because it was nearly empty, and then his laid on the couch because he had ran out of alcohol.

He laid looking out the window that opened too the balcony and watched the rain and the city lights as his green eyes shut and eventually drifted in to sleep. Spider flashed back to the pain of his love affair with April. It was when they first met except instead of being Spider he was like a third person watching the scene. He saw himself young and confident, about 16 and she about 15 and with her original blonde hair, and he well he looked nothing like he does now. He had his original dark brown hair, it was short it only touched his eyes and no piercings and his clothes they were so nerdy he wore the proper school uniform exactly like someone who enjoyed wearing it would, neat and proper, what a dork spider thought. He looked back at April and his heart dropped she was beautiful to him; she looked so natural, so healthy, and so happy.

As he watched the story played out like a bad movie so cliché so done before, Andrew (Spider before) too busy reading his book bumps into April on her way to class, she drops all her books and being a gentleman Andrew helps her . "Oh gezze I am more than sorry, I am not someone who watches where their going and well this is a daily thing, again I apologize" Andrew says frantically in his soft sensitive tone that the girls loved, " Nah don't worry about it I'm clumsy, so this happens too me alot " April said smiling and taking her dropped papers that Andrew had picked up, " well I best be going " April said looking into his green eyes with her blue eyes .

"What’s your name?" Andrew said like an idiot who doesn't seem to understand English," my name is ... ummm April "April said instead of didn't you fucking hear me I have got to go, instead she stumbles and nervously laughs on his question." Well I'll see you later April" Andrew says thinking she is going to zoom out but instead he is the one to turn away," wait I know this is silly but .. Um want to meet me in the cafe at lunch today; you might be fun to interview for the school paper. I am part of the news committee and well I am doing a project on people around the school. That is if you want to?" April said grinning with hope that he would yet being afraid of what he might think of her, "Yah I'd love too, how about I'll meet you near the neon blue vending machine" Andrew replied with a smug grin. "Okay, see you there" April said as she turned to walk to class. Andrew started then walking and couldn't help but to look back to April who surprisingly enough turned her eyes behind her shoulder and appeared to be looking back.
