"You come here very often." Kylie said as she handed me the daisies I ordered.
"Is it a problem?"
"Oh no. Not at all." She said. Her face immediately became scared and nervous. I smiled and paid for the flowers.
"It's for a friend." I said while exiting the shop.
It's been two years since Nick's death and a lot of things had changed. First, I graduated high school with flying colours and got a scholarship from Diamond Publishing Company. It was my mother's publishing team and they agreed to send me to Oxford University. I'll be learning English literature there.
Ian and Jade on the other hand, went to the same college. Both of them were great students and we hung out every free time. They were my best of friends. Suzanne and Nathan won prom king and queen, which wasn't surprising.
They've been planning to go to UCLA together and take science courses. Maybe Nathan can finally present about saliva in front of a class.
My new friend, Nick Anderson will be going to Oxford with me. He had writing skills, like Nick Robinson had. He literally reminded me of him. From his physical appearance, skills and personality. He even liked mac and cheese. Sometimes, I asked him whether he had a lost twin or he was raised from the dead. Whatever it is, I was glad that he existed.
...
"Hey,Nick." I said as I walked towards his grave. I put the daisies on top of the grave stone and touched his name. My tears started to form and rolled down my cheeks.
"Oh my god." I wiped the tears with my sleeve but it didn't stop the tears from flowing.
"Nick and I will be going to London for uni. Don't worry though, I'll be visiting you every time I come back here."
I sat in front of his gravestone while talking about Ian, Jade, Ms Cocina, Suzanne, Nathan and all the people he once knew. I even told him that Pearl was a mother. I also told him that I smiled a lot and made friends at school.
I was holding his diary, clutching it to my chest.
"I'll bring your diary-" I was interrupted by a pair of footsteps walking towards me.
I turned to see a couple, putting daisies on Nick's gravestone. I stood up and realized it was Nick's parents. Oh my god.
"Hello, Violet." The woman said as she hugged me. I was so confused that I couldn't move at all. I was paralyzed.
"Ms Cocina told us about you and Nick. We thank you." The father said.
"Judging from your looks, I guess you already knew that we are his parents." Mr Robinson said as he kneeled down and touched Nick's gravestone.
I was speechless. I couldn't say anything until they left. They said that they love him, me and thank me. For everything. They also apologized to Nick about their disappearance and cried a lot. I just stared at them, holding my tears.
When they left, I clutched the diary harder. Tears ran down my cheeks so fast and I couldn't stop it. His parents looked exactly like him or it was the other way around. They made me thought about Nick and all of our eight years of friendship. I sat down again but I didn't say anything.
Sobbing, that's what I did.
"I miss you, so so so so much." I said through my sobbing. I kissed his gravestone before I left, saying
"I love you."
A/N
This was probably really late and most of you would probably archived this story or already removed it.
I decided to make this part to give it a more proper ending.
Lots of love, Afrina
