Lucas, and I

Lucas, and I. (Only Part)

My heart was racing, faster, and faster. I, a girl known to be weird and annoying, was getting asked out for the first time.

"Zoey?" He said, clearly becoming worried about my answer.

"Lucas?" I said his name. I jumped in embarrassment. Why did I say his name? He let out a chuckle, realizing the mistake. I looked back down at the ground. I want to say yes. I've liked him for two years now, so it's my chance. I'm sure I'm ready for a relationship. I know I want to be with him. I just don't know how to say yes. It would be embarrassing to just blurt it out. I don't want there to be any confusion either. "Um... I..." I blushed.

"Are you being shy?" He teased me.

"What, no!" I blurted. I looked back down at the ground, trying to hide my blush. I was happy. I felt that I could do anything right then. I had to hold back a smile.

"Um, I'm sorry. I put you on the spot." Lucas gave me a fake smile. It was clear he thought I was staying silent for these five minutes because I didn't like him back. He thought I didn't want to hurt him.

"You didn't," I mumbled. "I'm just trying to think of a way to say yes." I said under my breath. His face lit up and his smile became real.

"You mean you like me back!" He cheered.

"Don't yell!" I yelled in embarrassment.

"Sorry, sorry." He laughed. "Is it fine if I hug you?" He asked.

"I guess," I mumbled. My face was as red as an apple. My heart kept on beating faster and faster. I felt like the main character in a romance show. Then, my heart stopped when I felt him touch me. He pulled me into a hug, and my heartbeat became normal. I still had butterflies in my stomach. I hesitantly wrapped my arms around him. I didn't want this moment to end.

"Is it fine if I kiss you?" Lucas smiled, and continued hugging me.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to kiss yet." I glanced down at the ground.

"You're too cute." He chuckled.

"What! So not cool to say that." I blurted out.

"Yeah, yeah." He laughed and finally let go of me. I looked into his eyes, and had to look away quickly. His green eyes were too pretty to look at. "Oh, oh no!" He blurted, hearing the school bell. We were by a big tree that was in school grounds. Nobody goes there often, unless to make a confession. So, if you've been told to meet there, you know that you might get yourself a new relationship.

"Woops!" I giggled. I saw his face become red, and he took me by my hand.

"Well, let's go Zoe!" He said, and started running to class while he held my hand.

Once we got to our classroom, we sat down at our assigned seats. He smiled at me, then winked. I looked away quickly to hide my blushing face from him. I then got a text, so I snuck my phone out. I hid it under the table and saw that it was from Lucas. I read the message in my head. "See you at lunch, bae!" It read. I shot him a glare and he smiled again. He was already too comfortable in this relationship.

Our relationship lasted for all of high school, and the beginning of our college. Lucas and I ended up going to the same college, just to be together. We also made sure to buy an apartment together. After all, we did love each other. We were the happiest people when together, the worst without.We spent everyday doing nothing, or everything. Being together is all that mattered to us.

I have so many memories of me and Lucas. I remember the one time where we were looking for the remote, and he found it in his back pocket. I remember how everyone found it surprising that me and Lucas liked each other. After all, I was the weird girl, and he was the popular guy. They all supported us non the less. I also remember our talks under the stars. How we loved camping, how we wanted to start a family. I always recall the songs we listened to. Our favorite song was Wonderland, by Sound Like Harmony. We would listen to the song on repeat. We would terribly dance to the song, scream it, and talk while playing it. Those times, have to be my favorite memories of Lucas and I. I remember so many things about him and I. After all, we loved each other. It would be wrong if I forgot about him. I wouldn't be able to be happy if I didn't know of his existence at least.

I will always remember the date we got together forever. May2cd, 2013 At the highschool called Viv Middle School. We were in eighth grade. I was thirteen, he was fourteen. That day was the happiest day of my life. The second was on December 16th, 2020. I was twenty, he was twenty one. He got on his knees and proposed to me. I remember crying tears of joy because of it.

Middle school lovers, to high school sweethearts, to getting married. We loved each other. We had all of our ups and downs like anyone else. I will never forget him. I will never regret falling in love with him. I will never forget those dates. Including the worst day of my life. The day I hit rock bottom. The day all my joy came crashing down just by the words from the police. The date was January 5th, 2021. Around two in the afternoon, the cops knocked at my door. I remember how I flet. I remember breaking down in tears in front of the police. With our wedding being three weeks away, it was even worse hearing the sentence. The sentence that told me that he had died. I remember the exact sentence the cop said. "I'm so sorry to inform you of this ma'am. But, Lucas Miyer has recently died in a motor vehicle accident." I remember dropping to the ground, with nothing but tears. The one I loved most in the world, was killed by someone going too fast on the highway named Interstate ninety five.

I still remember the exact words Lucas said before he left for the last time. "I love you, hun! I'll be back soon!" He said, smiling like normal. I wish I came along that day. I wish I could have stopped him from leaving. I wish that one person was paying attention to their speed. I wish so many things. I have so many regrets. No matter what anyone tells me, I'll never forget about Lucas. I rather die myself, then forget about the one I love most in the world. I'll always remember the one who I called an idiot, the one that made me happiest. I'll always remember Lucas.
