The air was warm and the breeze came gently against her caramel skin, her chocolate tresses danced with the wind as she came out of the bus. For someone who lived travelling from one place to another and met all kinds of people and cultures Boston was her home, the place where she could find harmony and good memories to tell her new friends and passing lovers while she trotted from town to town and country to country.
Boston was her place of first's, it was where she first fell in love, where she had her first girlfriend, where she got her first paycheck, her first photographer job, first BFF,first heartbreak,first summer in love, first car, first bit of lifelong decisions.
Emma Sanchez came back to Boston to take a new piece of peace that she came to lose on the last years, after years of travelling with no more than 2 to 4 days in the same place and seeing more of the mankind's ailments and wrongs than she ever wanted to witness in her life.
To be a photographer was her dream job since she was little, the idea of travelling from village to town, exploring everything in between and documenting it in pictures with debating emotions of motions of the human life. She came to love the lifestyle, the passing places, faces and cultures that although passing were carved inside her as notes of a ongoing aprentice of life.
But Boston wasn't just her place of first's or just home, Boston was the place were she hopped to find her soulmate, her first love, her BFF, her kindred spirit, her Mary Ericson, the blonde sweet shy girl that she came to love and never forget even after all those years of no contact.
Their story wasn't easy to understand, Emma met Mary on her last year of highschool, she was the new kid, and the computer geek as well as the skater tomboy, 5'6 tall brunette, amber eyed, with caramel skin, curved bodied and killer dimpels to match her charm. Even knowing that she wasn't ugly and that boys were thrilled for an opportunity of having her as their girl, she didn't see them that way, she always had an eye for the girls, the quiet porcelain skinned creatures were her favorites, the misterious ones that didn't overshadowed the common student, the ones that waited on the corner of the cafeteria for their time, that were confortable with everyone and anyone that was the underdog of the school.
She met Mary on study hall after a session of history study on the school library, after beeing pushed by the running crying blonde that was searching for refuge between the walls of dusty books. After dusting herself of the floor she went after the distressed blonde beauty that disappeared on the library corridors finding her on an old sofa on the back wall of the building sobbing her eyes off. That was when she came to know that other girl had spraid a rumour that the blonde beauty was having an affair with a teacher, and doing matters worst bitch was an old friend of the beautiful blonde.
After hearing what happened Emma swored that the bitch, later known as Brook Conner, was going to pay sooner or later and that she would protect the blond beauty, Mary, with her life if needed be. When Mary was throwed out she came to live with Emma for an year.
They became close friends and confidents, three months later Emma asked Mary to be her girlfriend and she accepted. Four months later Emma's parents died on an aircraft accident and she returned to her hometown, Miami, Florida, leaving Mary behind with not even a goodbye, just a note that she had to leave the house on the next week and a simple i love you as sorry.
The freelancer photographer wasn't delusional to think that Mary was waiting for her to come back but she hopped that she could still be her friend even though she didn't find herself worthy of it.
........................................
After a long day Mary just wanted to take a shower and sleep 'till she couldn't anymore, her feet were sore, her legs heavy and her belly bigger than ever, the little bump was growing with the little boy that she caried, and the little sucker was hungry as hell 'cause he didn't stop the kicking on her blader for two hours and counting.
Brook was out of town trying to promote her bookstore and Grace voluntiered to take care of Rachel for the time being promicing to come by if Mary called for anything. Alice,Sebastian and the kids went to visit David that finally met his new love and was thinking about having him for life. She thought that life was going well for them, thinking of what happened and what they managed to have after it all, she considered herself lucky 'cause after all she had what she wished for and even more.
