Mr. Montgomery De La Cruz

Stay

Its been a week since i got the news. Me & Justin have gotten closer, Hannah & Clay have been hanging out more, im happy their dating. Justin was coming over to help with homework & we all sat in Hannahs room. They finally got me laughing & it felt nice. My parents nor Hannah knew about the baby, but i was starting to get a bump. i couldn't keep this a secret much longer & graduation felt so far away. I decided to go to sleep when i heard a knock on my door. it was Justin "Im heading out, goodnight." i said goodnight & he left. Clay stays with us some nights. Just like Monty did, i drifted off to sleep i started dreaming.
Me & Monty were at the docks, he wraps his arms around me & we start laughing. All our memories just playing into a slideshow.
I quickly jolt up, i rub my head & get into the shower, i throw my crop top & my hoodie on, i threw my hair into a messy bun & walked downstairs. Mom made pancakes & i grabbed one, "are you working today sweetie?" I slowly looked at her, "uhm yeah, what time?" she walked over & grabbed the schedule, "noon" she said, i shook my head & got some water, i went upstairs & started listening to music, i took all my pictures & posters down off my wall, i put all the pictures of me & Monty in a memory box. I put the copies on my wall, i made a heart shape with them. i put all of his posters on his side of the bed & all of mine on my side. Ofc the school gave me his jersey, so i hung that up. Mom walked in & gave me a hug. "I love it" I smiled, "it will always be his spot. no matter what." It would stay like this until i moved. I would find a house in Riverdale & set it up the same way. I went into work, my mistake. Winston came in. He knew who i was, i knew who he was but he didn't like me because i was with Monty. Ofc he knew what happened, he didn't know about the baby. I wouldn't tell him until i moved. When he walked out he gave me a hug, we met for coffee at Monet's & he said he was sorry, for everything. I said i was too. Winston was a good guy, but i knew Monty hurt him. He left & i went home. I didn't feel right walking in this house alone, without Monty being there to push me against the wall, or tripping up the stairs behind me. Truth is i will always love him. Ill always miss him. Maybe one day ill move on but nobody would ever be Montgomery De La Cruz, he was one in a million.
