This is a short story I wrote during a very boring math lesson. Please tell me what mistakes I've made, because I know my english is far from being perfect.... Hope you'll like what I mean if you dont like the way I try to speak english !
As Josh was entering the park, he heard a voice behind him : « Josh ! Hey, can you hear me ? ». Of course he could. He could even recognize easily that voice that he had heard so much, many years ago. He looked at her, smiling. Actually, he did not feel like seeing her nor talking to her, but the best thing he had to do was smiling.
« Is that you, Jodie ? How are you doing ? »
« Not so bad, I’m glad to see you again, you’ve been away for such a long time ! Can’t we enter this park and have a talk ? There’s no step in this entry, over there ! »
« Of course » Josh said, still smiling.
They kept quiet until they found somewhere Josh could sit in the park. Very soon, Jodie asked, as Josh guessed she would, if he would come back and live with her again. She said she was still in love and Josh answered he was even more than before ; but he couldn’t stay there because it was too dangerous for him to live with her. His ennemies who had found him just after the accident could find him anew if he lived normally with his wife and children.

After a quarter of an hour they had been in the park, Josh said he was sorry because he had to leave her. As he was about one yard away from the place they had been talking, his mobile phone rang : « Hello ? Yes darling, I’ll be back soon enough to pick up the children. See you later. I love you. ».
Josh would definitely never come back here, there was too much risk to meet that burnt-face girl in her rolling-chair. She was really ugly since her accident.
