Guitar

Heart racing, sweat pouring, and almost running out of breath. It's 7 p.m., and Johnny is still on his way to Chloe's house. In his hand, he held a blue guitar he borrowed from Neil.

"I can do it. I can finally do it."

He whispered with a smile lining across his face. He was ready to play and sing his heart out to the one he loves. He practiced the song all day, without even having breaks to eat. He was determined to learn Chloe's favorite song, "Power of Two" by the Indigo Girls, and, at 6 p.m., he was able to sing and play it at ease.

He ran faster, cause he feared that she might be readying herself for bed. He thought that it was now or never. He turned to a blind corner, where he stumbled on a cat. Trying to avoid the cat, he changed his step, but twisted his ankle. He fell on his back hard, and accidentally hit the guitar to the pavement, enough to break the guitar's neck.

He was in pain, and cannot move. All he thought about was Chloe, and how her house is a only a few meters away where he lay. He lied quietly for a moment, until he heard a familiar sound coming from Chloe's porch. Dylan was playing the same song better than him, and with a better sounding guitar. Dylan's voice echoed with much passion, and, as Johnny stood up, he peeked at a far and saw Chloe's eyes sparkle in amazement.

Johnny picked the broken guitar, and limped back towards the blind corner.
