Coming Out Strong

Chapter #9

Nicole told me ice-cream helps and my refrigerator, just like i had run out of love , had run out of ice-cream.

*Flashback*

Me: Look. I know this sounds wierd but i need a cup of icecream RIGHT NOW. Please ?
Mom: Now as in , NOW now ?

The cold wind brushed across our faces as my mom's scooty sped past the trees. She had come to pick me up from English class. To my joy, she stopped in front of an icecream parlour. She just stood there studying me. I froze. "Are my expressions that easy to read?" I hoped and prayed she did not ask me what was wrong.

Mom: What's wrong ? I know something is so don't you deny that !
"Shit!", I muttered under my breath. No wonder they are called mothers.
As i sat there eating my usual cup of chocolate chips, i poured my heart out to her. And she heard me out without interruptions. Wisdom and a hug was what i got in the end and as the cold icecream melted in my stomach so did my heart. That's when i realized how much i needed her hug.

As we hopped back, she asked me why specifically icecream and i told her about Nicole's icecream theory and i think i heard a faint chuckle.
The secret was safe with her.

***********

It was the best day of my life. Thoughts and memories raced through my head. Those quick kisses and glances was all that I lived for.

*Flashback*

I was with him all the time. Every single ride. We had gone on a school trip to the best amusement park in the state and the rides were an absolute thrill. The more he sat close to me the more I loved it. The only thing that mattered to me was the fact that he was with me. That was when i realized that I had fallen HARD for Ron Fletcher and I would want him by my side until the very end. And I remember this one thing. On the way back in the bus, he beckoned me close to him. I frowned as I was already close. As I leaned in, i felt his warm lips against my cheek. Blood rushed to my cheeks even at the thought of it.

Ah ! How things change !

*Flashback ends*

Often Life has its own rides and rollercoasters planned for us.

I would like to quote Ron Fletcher's exact words here: Hold on tight babe. Life with me is no less than a rollercoaster.
Truth is, i would have accepted life to be a rollercoaster with him. But nothing without him. Who enjoys screaming on a coaster without your best friend on your side anyway ? But hey ! That is what makes us strong. Walking the unexplored path. And i am going to do exactly what Ron told me to. I am going to Hold On Tight.

As I thought this, the sun shined brightly through the clouds and all I did was smile. A smile that was complete.
