With A Heart So Cold

..

I remember the day I met Eric Greenslade.

It was that horrible day in the holidays that never seemed to end, with the towns peoples useless blabber and a pain in the ass climate that froze your fingers.

He came into the diner, bringing the cold with him.

He was wearing a red beanie and he had a one of those key chains that you made when you were 7 hanging off of his jeans.

Weirdo

He ordered a black coffee.

When he looked up, he had these brown eyes, that... I don't even know how to describe it, but they warmed me from the winter chill.

He smiled.

I didn't smile back. I hated the way his smile gave me goosebumps.

My shift ended.

I left.

I never ever wanted to see the boy with the keychain again.

But then again, you never get what you want, do you?
