Chapter 45: Determined?
I just kept running and running as droplets of rain poured down on me, paired with the cold gust of wind brushing my hair from behind.
My determination was enough to make me run in my full speed limit just to talk to her. Even though I cant still get rid off Fluttershy and what she did to me in the past, I knew that I can't give up.. Not now, not ever!
But something still bothering me, aside from Fluttershy and my recent problems, Will Applejack be happy to see me?
Of course not! I literally broke up with her because I believed Flutterass' lies instead of her. I always knew Applejack wont lie nor do such a thing to me.. But why didn't I believed her?
Now that the rain got even more stronger, I kept a hold on my shirt to fight this heavy feeling on my chest.
Whatever I think or do, I could never forget what my friend did to me. Knowing that she actually had a thing for my since Elementary is really shocking, how come I didnt noticed it?
And now, i broke her heart.. For what? For Volleyball and my stupid pride? What the hell is wrong with me? Im so f*cking confused..
Rd: "Dammit.. Keep it together idiot." I muttered to myself, wiping the droplets of rain in my face with my hand.
Without me even realizing it, tears began to flow down in my cheeks same like the rain pouring down on me.
Rd: "Forget her! Your not weak anymore don't think about Fluttershy!" I growled to myself before slapping both of my cheeks with my hands to make me snap out of my thoughts.
I was slowly loosing it. I always kept fighting my feelings while telling myself to stay strong and determined. But I cant just forget something that serious too fast!
Rd: "D-dash.. I gotta forget Fluttershy, she's only usi- ACK!" I gasped in shock when I suddenly tripped on a cracked spot on the sidewalk.
Because I cant control my momentum from all that running at the time, I didn't have time to stop running which leads me to make a hard landing on the side, causing me to gasp in slight pain.
Rd: "Grr.. Get up, Get the f*ck up Dash!" I muttered before getting to my knees.
But when I noticed something red dripping down to the water puddle beside me, I immediately extended my right leg, only to see a bleeding scratch mark on it.
Rd: "F-f*ck! Its just a little bit of blood, nothing to worry about. I can't stop here!" I nervously mumbled before grabbing my handkerchief on my pocket to wrap it around my wound.
But when I noticed which part of town I just tumbled into, I slowly around and realized I was in front of the same park where me and Applejack used to practice our quick attack.
It brings back the memories of me and her: The time where she threw the ball into the tree and how I literally have to climb it just to grab it for her.
Heh.. And that time where I started to loose my balance while Applejack started to take pictures of me.
Heck, I remember that she made me a meme and sent it to our group chat. "Hang in there" she captained to the pic where I was hanging in the tree branch.
All those memories is just making me feel even more weak inside. I want to feel that joy and happiness with her again, I want to feel her touch and warmth again.. But I f*cking messed up so bad..
While I was seating on the sides, still wrapping my wound which kept aching a slightly unbearable pain, rain suddenly stopped pouring on me even though it's still raining in front me.
"R-rainbow Dash?" A familiar voice called.
As soon I recognized that voice, I quickly looked up, making my eyes go wide when I saw her holding an umbrella above us.
Rd: "Rarity..?" I gasped in a shock tone in my voice.
R: "What are you doing out here Darling?! Your soaking wet, did you dance in the rain or something?" She asked worriedly while handing me her hand.
Rd: "W-what? No Rarity.." I started, accepting her hand to help me get back up to my feet. "Why are you here?"
R: "Im just on my way back home. Practice just finished.." She replied after grabbing a handkerchief on her pocket, wiping it on my face afterwards. "You okay? We were so worried for you!"
Rd: "Yeah Im okay, you and the girls don't have to worry about me.."
R: "Please come back to the team Darling! We've been feeling down since.. You quit."
Rd: "I.. I dont think you girls don't need a worthless player like me, Rarity." I answered before wiping the newly form tears in my eyes.
R: "A-are you crying Rainbow? Is it something I said?!"
Rd: 'No Rare.. Can we just talk later on the phone, I have to see her before it gets dark.. "
R: "See who? And are you just gonna go there by foot? Rainbow your already soaking wet from the rain and not to mention you hurt yourself!"
Rd: "Im fine Rarity.. I promise." I said with a broken smile, turning around to ready my running stance again.
R: 'D-dont you have any protection on you?!"
Rd: "Like condoms? Hell no why would I bring those with me."
R: "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT! Ahem.. I was talking about an umbrella or gear to protect you from the rain! You might catch a cold!"
Rd: "I don't need one Rare, thanks.."
R: "F-for what Darling?"
Rd: "For helping me get my cowgirl and now I just blew it.. But Im not giving up on her yet. " I started, slightly moving ahead to move away from Rarity's umbrella.
R: "Certainly darling.. But please, we worried for you."
Rd: "Don't Rare, just please dont. I clearly changed.."
R: "Very well.. Where are you going? Want me to come with you?"
Rd; "No thank you Rarity, this crap is personal."
R: "Very well Rainbow.. See you." She sighed in slight disappointment before turning around to face the pedestrian lane.
But before she could even walk away from me, I quickly yelled out her name, still bowing my head to avoid her letting see my cry.
Rd: "Wait Rarity!"
R: "Yes Darling?"
Rd: "Where's Applejack's place?"
For some reason, an irresistible smile quickly went up her face when she heard the question. Seeing her smile makes me slight better and determined than before.. At least she was a true friend.
R: "Just take a right turn over there Darling.. Go get her Rainbow."
Rd: "Thanks, I will." I grinned, looking back at her with a weak broken smile. "See you at the court, Rarity." I lastly chuckled before running to the direction Rarity pointed.
I can hear her giggling at the back but the loud splashes of the rain overlaps it all. I just continued running, teasing and ignoring the pain from my foot.
After all of that, a weak grin formed in my face as the heavy feeling from all of my problems got less worrying for me to handle.
All I had to do was talk to my true friend and now Im suddenly energetic than before? Rarity knows I like.. No, I love Applejack and yet she doesnt stop me from doing it.
Unlike Fluttershy who I thought was my true friend.. That girl's filled with secrets and Im too dumb to see it with my own eyes.
While I was running across the streets, my eyes went wide when I saw a car appeared from the thick fog behind me, making me stop running and look back.
Rd: "Woah, sh*t!" I gasped as I immediately placed my hand on the front of the car when it stopped just a few inches away from me. "What the hell man!"
"GET OUT OF THE ROAD KID!" The driver yelled, honking his car at me.
Instead of saying sorry for a million times like the old me should have done, I just flicked my middle finger up and showed him, causing the man's eyes go wide.
Rd: "Watch where you're going dumbass! You almost ran me over!" I lastly yelled back before I continued running.
Adrenaline now rushes throughout my whole body just thinking about how than man almost ended my life. I know Im supposed to be terrified but still Applejack is still my priority.
After I made it to Applejack's street, I didn't stopped running with all of my left stamina like before. I just really need to see her, I don't care if I have to catch a cold or bruises to do it.
Rd: 'F*ck it! I dont care about my condition anymore, that dumbass is all that matters.. So I can't just give up here!"
The only thing now bothering me is how will she react when I knock on her door? I bet she's still angry at me.. Heck, I think she's just gonna yeet me off across me house.
Finally, I made it to the front of their house, panting and catching my breath afterwards. I can feel my heart beating faster while slowly walking up to the front door.
Every step I take is making me feel more nervous as I slowly get closer to the front door. I just formed both my hand into fist after taking the last step to the staircase leading to their front door.
Rd: "I can do this.. She's just a girl, If I want to show her how I feel.. I need to get rid of this weak feeling first.
So with my thoughts filled with hesitation and second thoughts, I slowly raised my hand and knocked at their door, still trembling from the cold and nervousness.
"K N O C K, K N O CK !"
Not long after I knocked, I heard some footsteps inside coming this way.
I just sighed and hope for the best as I lastly wiped my tears away from my eyes to finally have a chance to face her..
But when the door slowly opened, I let out a weak broken smile while new tears form in my eyes again as soon I saw her in front of me
Rd: "Hey.. Dumbass.."
