Finding Paradise

To Fiona...

Gabriel's pov

Goodbye's are hard.
When will we talk again?
When will I see you again?
Today we're parting ways.
I didn't realise how much your presence
has brought me pure joy and comfort.
Oh Fiona~ I shall miss you...
but this is not goodbye's
count this as a farewell
for sorrow is friend
and departing is just the beginning.

Sincerely
Barnabas Gabriel

I sealed the letter with a stamp. I then look at myself in the mirror, comb my hair and put on cologne. Today's is hopefully not the last day till I see Fiona. As I was getting ready, someone knocked on my door. "Who is it?" I called out. "Hey Bubba-" Marshall was about to enter my room but stopped for a moment. "Where are you going?" He asked. "To meet up with a friend" I replied, trying to fix my bow tie. "Who is this friend of yours?~" he smirk. "Her name's Fiona" I replied. "You mean Fiona the bunny girl and cake?" he ask making sure I was referring to this Fiona. I scrunch my face and said "Yes."

"I see you have met her. hmm... Can I come?" He pressed his lips in a thinline and folded his hands over his chest. "No" I said. "Why not? Fiona used to be my ex" I frowned at that thought, maybe part of me was hoping he felt the same way and discarded her feelings for the latter or any others. "Exactly why you should not come!" I half shouted trying to emphasize the situation he's about to enter. "Relax, Bubba, she was a childhood friend of mine. I dated her when we were in middle school. I barely knew what love was." He whined. I was overthinking the situation now I feel dumb. A soft "oh" escaped my lips. There was another knock on my door. I opened it to see Finn standing and giggling. I gave him a confused face. "Hey Marshall, we're going to the pub right now, go change if you wanna come" he said and left. "Goodnews! You're being invited. Now leave my room and change" I said turning around pushed him out of my room but he won't budge. ""Hey wait up, I gotta tell you something,"

"What then?" I asked. "We'll be leaving Friday at 6am, make sure to pack your things, it will be a long ride" he winked and left my room.
Smooth... sometimes if Marshall wasn't annoying I would probably like him. He's quite attractive and has nice eyes, I blushed at that thought.

Fiona texted me we'll meet outside the library we first met. After walking for 7 minutes I arrived outside the library and I could see Fiona waiting and jumping around, typical Fi...
"Fi!" I ran up to her and hugged her. "I miss you!" she said. "Me too. Shall we go?" I gestured at the amusement park. "C'mon" We both ran till our lungs give out. We were both giggling the whole time.

I'm quite excited to try the rides here after all this is my first time. "Let's go buy tickets" Fiona dragged me towards the ticket booth and a lot of people were lining up. After a few minutes we managed to buy the tickets. "What ride should we go first?" she asked, I pointed at the horses. "Oh you mean the carousel!" Fiona said, I nodded my head. We both walked towards it when we spotted a kid crying. I frowned, Fiona went to comfort the kid. Turns out he's lost so we ended up going to the customer service and tried to help the kid find his parents. 30 minutes went by and his mother arrived crying. The parents thank us for helping their child. After that we were off on our wonderland trying out rides and having fun.

The sky soon turned into orange with a mix of purple; sun was setting. "Hey Fi, should we ride that for our final?" I asked, referring to the Ferris wheel. "Sure" we both scurried our way and lined up. Thankfully the line wasn't really packed at this moment because some people are already leaving. We got in and took pictures.

"Bubba, how will you face your parents when you see them?" she ask.
"Honestly at this point I want closure, I want to understand why they left me. It was hard growing up with foster parents and being amish." I look at my feet not being able to face her. "I understand, I wish I could come with you. This city is getting boring without new people" she pouted, which made her look like a lost puppy I chuckled. "Don't worry once I settle in with them I'll make sure I visit this city again. I couldn't forget this as my first destination to freedom." I attempted to lighten up the mood.
She laugh,

"What's your plan after all of this is settled?"
"I might work, of course . At this point I'm going to live in poverty. hehehe I only got $24000, I gotta save" I had the urge to facepalm if i could turn back time I should have worked in Pennsylvania.

We were on top now the ferris wheel keeps stopping when someone enters. "Ahh California and sunsets" she yawned and put both her arms at her nape supporting herself. "It surely is stunning from up here"
"Yeah, me and my dad used to come here when I was a child, I miss him," she looked down at her feet and rub them together. "He died shortly when I was eight," she sighed. "Must be hard, you know, living with a single parent," I said. "Yes, sometimes I often find myself pondering why I had this gruesome fate, did I do something wrong in my past life that led me to this or is it a punishment. I'm sometimes jealous of other kids, especially complete families, they seem so happy and it warms my heart to see those kinds of people but then again at least I have a brave, empath of a mother," she said. Despite all of that she still manages to be compassionate and caring truly what a friend is for. "Your so courageous for telling me that what you've been through has led you to become a woman that many are friends with, thank you Fi" The ferris wheel came to a stop, our ride ended, we got out and i gave her the letter. "I'll be leaving now Bubba, it was nice meeting you, i hope we see each other again," she gave me a small kiss on the cheek, this is obviously a friendly goodbye kiss. "Farewell my dear friend I shall now be departing," I mimicked a french accent and she chuckled along. We parted ways on our way home, today was indeed eventful.
