My Sounds Story

SOUNDS ALERT!!! This is my sounds story (no title)

I watched him slowly, pace across the back lawn. I wanted to scream at him what was the matter with him, but his head was low, and his bright eyes turned gray, while staring at the blades of grass. I saw a small smile fade away from his face as the sound of crickets, and other insects became so much more intense. During the summer; such a beautiful night; how could anyone be upset today?

“What’s the matter with you?” I said sarcastically, while smiling. “You need to lighten up a little. There can’t be anything wrong with you,” I kept prying to find out what was wrong.

There was a light wind that began to blow. All of the trees began to swing, and you could hear the slight whistling of the wind underneath the sound of the crickets. Jay’s face began to tighten as he stared at me. His eyes brightened up as soon as he realized I was concerned. That brightness faded away soon, making him seem more upset than he was before. I saw his eyes began to water; small tears began to fill up, and I saw a single drop trail down from his left eye and stop at his chin. He wiped it away and turned his back to me.

“Why would you care?” he asked with an outraged tone. “Don’t worry about it… it… it… doesn’t concern you. Why do you always have to be in my business?”

“Because,” I began, “You’re my cousin, and overall, what could you have done wrong to get in trouble, or for that matter, look at pitiful as you do now?” I asked teasing.

“You’ll never find out,” he said smiling.

He gave out this odd laugh that made me remember of how he and I used to be. His laugh rose above the crickets’ music, almost drowning it out. It was so addictive that I began laughing so hard, to the point where my stomach tightened up. Jay smiled at me, with his wide smile, along with his green eyes dancing back and forth. That was when I realized he was making a joke.

“You’re such a brat!” I yelled at him.

He straightened his body, letting his hair be taken by the wind. He turned his back to me and walked toward the house. He turned once again and shook his head at me. He winked, letting the light hit his eyes, which made them so much brighter. His tall silhouette faded in the darkness of the house. He shut the door behind him, softly. I just sat back down on the deck, and listened to the music again. It sounds so much more beautiful than before, and so much more up beat. All I could really think of Jay and how he always teases me…..

“Why does he always win? One of these days… one of these days… I’m going to finally get him back!” I said to myself out loud.
