Dust
Please give some feedback also a warning this is a rather sad story so back away slowly if you don't want to read something depressing :< (also not sure if the rating for this is correct or not
It was a warm summer day and I was 18 at the time I met her, the love of my name. She had a rather bleak and dull name Dust a rather unfit name for her as this husky glowed a beauty like no other. She had told me many times before she was always sick I never got what she meant. If she was sick then why was she always around people why the hell would you go around people if you were sick. I was far too frustrated to ever realize what she meant by always being sick.
My name is Big I'm a horse and I'm a rather ignorant male. I never really ever cared about anyone in my life before I met Dust before I met her I could say my life was an empty void. Dust brought me hope as it felt like I no longer was alone in this world I was no longer alone in an endless void. She always smiled when I came over to her house I always hear her parents bickering about something. I sometimes heard angry fights with her two parents.
Me:How can you live in such dread and despair why don't you leave this house or call services you clearly don't seem happy. You have always told me you are sick so if leaving this place may make you feel better then why don't you leave?
Dust:You simply don't get it I'm the kind of sick that once you become it the place you are living will bound to you and soon enough you will learn what I mean. I must say though I have never had someone so kind and sweet to care about me like this before. I wonder many times why you care so much about me you barely know me and we have only hanged out a couple of times.
Me:Oh I see what you mean, well I care about I like you. You are a very good friend of mine and I value your friendship more than anything. You don't get that I barely have any friend nor any that are willing to listen to me. I'm very alone in this world and I have merely no one to count on. Even if you are 'sick' I don't care what disease I may catch from you but it was all worth it just to talk to someone who wants to listen.
We always had these long conversations constantly it was clear that I was looking for a friend at the time and I had no one but myself to rely on but now I had Dust in my life and that was all that mattered. Her sickness eventually got worse and I could no longer be able to see Dust I missed her constantly. Then I got a letter in the mail it was from dust what I read made me sob heavily.
It said"Dear, Big I love you more than anything in the world thank you for being there for me when no one else was. You see I really was sick the doctors told me three months before I met you that I had a very aggressive form of cancer. They said I didn't have much time they said I had a couple months to live . They said I had one more day to live so I wrote this letter for you. When you get this letter please do not visit me at the hospital you have already made me the most happiest girl in the world in my final moments. I love you big this is my final goodbye for you and I really hope that you will eventually move on and find another person to love."
I cried for a very long time and I had finally learned something from dust the world is a cruel and unloving place. I was making such good friends with her and she slipped right out of my hands. Now I had no friends no family no nothing I was living on my own and now I had never felt so alone. I learned more about Dust through a diary she sent to me through the mail. I learned how abusive her parent were how many fights they got in she had an awful life. Somehow in all of life's rough and tortuous cruelty she found happiness through me.
I found to live a happier life because that's what Dust would have wanted me to do after her death. I couldn't stop thinking about her and she was always on my mind. I was ready to let another love into my life. I found that eventually one day I would find someone else and hopefully this time I would get more time to know them. I only wished I could have gotten more time to know her I deiceded from that day to spend as much time as possible without being creepy to spend it all with my next possible friend.
