EMILY - L.MESSI.

📍Rosarío , Argentina 🇦🇷

EVERYTHING WAS LIKE it's supposed to be. she was happy. she was a 20 year old successful law student , she had great friends and a family who loves her and currently she was in the passenger seat of the car , next to Pablo as his veiny hand rested on her thigh.

he drove down the road , taking the necessary turns while Emily just stared at him. Gavi felt her eyes on him. "what?" he asked , his eyes still on the road.

"nothing , you're just...i'm lucky to have you" she said and Gavi broke out into a smile. he loved how open they were in their relationship and he loved the fact that she could make him melt with a single glance.

"stop" he said as a blush coated his cheeks and she chuckled and looked out of the windows again.

the car finally stopped and Emily sighed as she unbuckled herself.

she glanced at the back , grabbing the white tulips that laid on the backseat while Gavi grabbed a couple of purple forget me not's.

they exited the car and Gavi locked it behind him as he followed his girlfriend to her mother's tombstone. 

it was the first one he noticed since it stood out the most.

he stood behind as he watched Emily bend down and place the white tulips in the vase.

he couldn't hear what she was saying but he knew she was talking to her mother and that made him smile.

"i can't believe it's 6 years you've been gone. It's feels so unreal" Emily began as she sat next to the grave with her legs crossed.

"i still remember the last day i saw you alive and the last day i saw your face in the casket and it breaks me everytime i think about it" she began.

"i know i said i made peace with your death, but nothing ever come close to losing a mother" she said , feeling a lump forming in her throar.

"Anto is my second mom now and i know for a fact that if you were alive , you two would be great friends" she said because she knew it was true. Emily was just like her mother. sweet , sensitive and kind.

"i love Anto and Leo with all that i have...but there's just somedays where i need you. your advice , you doing my hair , you making me my favourite banana oatmeal" she said wih a slight chuckle , wiping away a stray tear.

Emily glanced back at Gavi who still had the small purple flowers in his hands.

"i also met this amazing guy and i think you would've loved him, maybe even more than you love me" she said with a chuckle.

she waved Gavi over who was more than happy to be by her side. he sat next to her , placing the purple flowers in a smaller vase.

"i know this is going to be awkward" Emily said and he rolled his eyes with a smile on his lips. "no it's not" he said nad nudged her and she shoved him , making him gasp.

"see how your daughter is abusing me , Ms Valentina?" he said and Emily huffed. "no but honestly , i always wondered where Emily got her feminine beauty from and looking at this picture , i can see why" he said and Emily shoved him again.
