Destined For You

~Chapter 3~

New chapter! Remember, letting me know your thoughts is important to me and votes would be amazing too ;P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I look away from Luella's darkened window as a stabbing pain in my chest brings me out of my thoughts. I miss her so much. I long to see her beautiful smile again.

A tear runs down my cheek which I quickly wipe away. I step quietly across Lu's front garden and towards the tree outside her room, the one I've climbed so many times before.

I climb to the top branch and slide the window open with surprise as I actually expected it to be locked this time.

I look through the open window into Lu's darkened room. It looks so peaceful, unsettlingly peaceful. Almost untouched. Her bed covers too neat and in order as if waiting for Luella to come in and change this. I wish she would just walk through her bedroom door right now with a big grin on her face, and then she'd jump into my arms like she used to and tell me how everything would be okay again because she's here now.

I would give anything for her to be here right now, anything to feel her soft lips on mine again. I close my eyes and rake a hand through my hair. Taking a deep breath, I climb through her window, close it behind me and just stand here, taking in the far too quiet ambience.

I've lived so many memories with Luella inside this very room. The first time I told her I loved her, the first time we kissed, even the first time I had ever made love to her... her parents were away at the time of course. Every second I was with her is a moment I will treasure forever in my heart. They were always perfect in every way.

I blink back my tears as I walk over to her bed slowly, an image of me holding her in my arms in her bed flashes through my mind. I let out a ragged breath and sit down on the edge of it. Tears start forming in the backs of my eyes but this time, I don't try to blink them back. All of this pain inside me has gotten far too much for me to handle now.

I slip my trainers off and lie down in her bed. I close my eyes and put my hand under her pillow for comfort. I open my eyes suddenly when I feel a hard square shape under her pillow, strange.

I turn on her bed lamp and pull the square out, it's a dark purple book which is decorated with black swirly patterns. Confused, I open it up to the first page. I read the first line; it says "My diary. Do not read!"

Luella has a diary? I didn't know that. I should put it back; If she was here right now she'd hit me for reading it, literally.

But I can't help but wonder what she wrote; I'll just read a few pages.

I turn to the second page which is dated 12th September 2007. Wait, this is 3 days before we first met.

I start reading:

Dear Diary,

Well I'm not exactly sure how these diary thingy's work because this wasn't even my idea, it was Mums idea, she said something like this "Lu dear, but a diary would be a great way to express your feelings and emotions. Just give it a try for a while..."
