PROLOGUE
TWO YEARS AGO.
Whirling in her white cotton and floral dress with white high heels. A porch in her hand with a design made on Chanel, the most brand he ever on her and inside her porch was a phone and a card in case something bad happened which she’s always been ready. A card with toons of money gave by her own parents which she rarely used because she can do enough of living by working in a café as a waiter to gain enough money.
What’s the occasion today?
Supposedly, today is their One Year Anniversary after a months had past and here she was after one year. They’re still a strong love lingering about them and of course trust each other. A big day and she can’t but wonder herself that is he really the one for her? Her One Knight Shinning Armor that she always been dreamed off. After the 2 failed relationship in the past can’t help by herself to be aware at here surrounding that maybe he’s cheating behind her back or worse.
Shinning Armor that she always been dreamed off. After the 2 failed relationship in the past can’t help by herself to be aware at here surrounding that maybe he’s cheating behind her back or worse.
Yes, she had a boyfriend and has been dating for 1 year.
A week, days and months had past neither of sexual intercourse happened between them. The last time happened was a month ago which is odd.
He still kept saying (he’ll wait until she’s ready) but she isn’t.
It feels like something kick her off to feel like she’s can’t give him what always girls do when they truly love someone. Furthermore, she felt guilty if it happened.
A car honk and snap her out of her thought. She smiled and saw the love of her life getting out of his car to greet her with a hug and a kiss on her hand.
A gentleman indeed.
A negative thoughts just a while ago vanish just as she see him.
She slap his arms playfully and he smiled at me. He leaned forward and kiss gently as she return his with smile on her face. He pulled and he held my hand.
“You ready?”
A knowing came her mind but I pushed it away. Again. Now is not the time to think negative thoughts. She smiled and shook her head to reassure him that she was fine.
She tip-toe on her feet and give a peck on his cheek and said.
“Never been ready in my whole life.”
*****
“Can I open my eyes now!?”
With his hand help leading to where he was saying a surprise but she couldn’t help but asked him. If she wrong it’s been a whole 3 minutes and 24 seconds had passed since they arrived the destination. While still riding the car, he covered my eyes with his handkerchief.
I was getting impatient but it’s worth to wait. Don’t u think?
“Almost.” He whisper and give a sweet peck on her temple then he suddenly stopped and I also stop walking.
I can feel his presence on my back as he whisper in my ear.
“Let me take this off now and don’t open your eye’s yet.” Once the handkerchief off my eyes and I opened them but closed as I feel so many lightning hitting my eyes.
I squint my eyes shut, so many lights. I opened them again and gasped at the sight in front of me. Roses, candles and song all together it made me tear up.
And a sign.
″Happy One Year Anniversary, My Love.”
My sobs turn into a cry and I hug him.
I looked into his eye.
“I love you.”
He smile. Eyes twinkling in passion.
“I love you too, Babe.”
Never been in my life feelings in that way, this place all memories we spent together8 and the place where he asked me to be his girlfriend is where a place he gave his one last letter.
A letter wasn’t enough for explanation.
All in years after getting broken hearted. I never trust to any boy. Never once.
I smiled in pain.
I guess fate lead me this way.
I need plan.
“You’re still thinking about him?” My thoughts wipes away quickly as those familiar voice said. Even though I hate admit I always missed his presence.
I made no move nor had a chance to speak about that even if they talking about me like that, telling to move on, be happy with being single. A hand touch my shoulder and I glance and immediately looking away seeing those pitiful eye. I hate them taking pity of me.
“Y’know. Every relationship always end and just because we had a relationship that doesn’t mean we can always be happy. Being in a relationship also did hurt us. Every people get hurt y’know.” My friend, Eunice said as she take a sit on my bed. I sigh, putting the frame back to my table and I began to make myself busy. Ignoring her is the most option.
“Chill will ya? And please, don’t ignore me” She state rather worrying about me, was feeling satisfaction in herself then she took her phone out her pocket. Who knows what’s she’s planning.
Eunice is my newest friend. We meet through school projects. She’s an anti-social school girl and has no many friends and always spend time alone in the school rooftop.
Eunice has this awesome personality of her, beautiful, feminine, kind, and honest person you could ever met. Sometimes she is loud as fuck.
The door slammed opened and there my other friend Hazel entered my room then made herself comfortable on my couch.
I feel like she can feel the tense happening inside my room. Hazel smile at me sadly then stand up made her way to me and I look away.
“Layla, it’s been 4 years already can’t move on?” She joked a little.
“HEY, GUESS WHAT I BROUGHT!!”
I glance at door and shake my head disapprovingly, Gia noticed at shot a smile that ‘ohh shut up, I know’ look. Nonetheless, I smiled.
Gianna or Gia was, amicable, best friend. She filled the role with this wonderful personality of her, selfless, lovable, kindly, and sweet nature. She’s funny sometimes and has a good sense of humour. We are always happy to be with each other. We enjoy, studying, playing, and eating together. If I am sad, she will do all she can to make me smile and feel happy.
My best friend since birth.
My other friend Hazel.
Well,
People like to say that Hazel and I look alike a we’re sisters. We both share the same brown eye color, our face shapes are different, nose are identically same as hell, neither to say I had a small face while Hazel has a round face with doe eyes, same as mine and I was a three inch taller than her. I bet people could tell the differences between the two of us.
Height.
As for our personality, though, that’s where we differ.
Hazel.
I first meet her back in freshman year. And, at that time, everyone in our campus was so bitchy and arrogant when they heard the news about transferee students, which is Hazel.
Around that year it was quite an unexpected memory for Hazel, she got the hate, bullies around her that every time I see all Kenan’s little minions bullying her (u know mean girls, wants nothing but his attention) not even caring the whole world is watching them.
Hazel Rose Levine.
She transferred to our school during freshman year in middle of the term, because I think she moved here in LA? I forgot but that's all I've remembered.
There we’re times, I wanted to help her out of the bullies but my friend, Eunice stop me and say You’ll only expose to others, you hate fighting, and the attention s**ts around you. Me, being always a kind-hearted, I forced myself to help her and there, we began to be friends.
One thing I can say about Hazel.
PERFECT.
She’s perfects, her smile, her doe-like eyes, her perfects shapes face, her flawless hairs, and her perfect figure. Although, no one sees the true Hazel, but she’s quite fashionable person, thus always embarrassed over small things or how she dressed. I get, Hazel and I have a quite common of wearing baggy shits, and jogger pants. The reason is, we both feeling comfortable wearing that.
She is timid.
It’s my comfort zone of styling, even if both of my parents forced me, to dress like a girl but it’s a kind of awkward wearing a girly style. Too much skin to show? I guess.
Maybe, If I start doing things right now. Make’s even better. I giggled at my own self and I felt the wary looks they sent to me then broke largest smile on their face.
I guess.
“Finally, I can see smile a little bit now!!” As much as loud as it is, I still welcome her comeback and hugged tightly.
“So”
We both turned our head to Eunice a knowing smile in face then he clap her hands and I raise my brow.
“We still have three days before Graduation Day.”
“WHY DON’T WE GO TO A CLUB AND GET THINGS WILD!!” She all but yelled excitedly and jump up and down on me that’s going break my bone any seconds.
“Yeah, why not.” Gia agreed so easily so as Hazel.
I look down on my journal which those 5 plans I wrote. I grabbed my pen and one is finish.
I guess we go club tonight.
Fuck my life for having a friend like this.
For now,
Let me complete this plan.
It was easy but quite hilarious plan.
1. Don’t date until 24 years old.
2. Visit a Bar and getting drunk for the first time.√
3. Visit a beach.
4. Visit her brother at Philippines.
5. Call each on her exes and tell them that she is happy.
