Sitting there, she waits. Walking out the the two doors the doctor has told her "I'm so sorry but..." Before he could even finish she dropped to the floor. Her heart dropped, she couldn't breathe. Elena had lost everything. Maryann, her mother had picked her up from the hospital and Elena tried to explained what happened. She couldn't even finish the story because she was so shaken up. No one could feel the emotions she was going through.
Later in the month she had to go the funeral. Picked out the tombstone and almost had a panic attack. Noinoe Xazior Castillo November 2 1995 - December 30 2016 "he helped many and loved plenty" read his grave. Elena was dead inside and thought why not die so I can be with my first love, my baby, my everything? She could not even speak in front of anyone. Could barely even think.
As the funeral went on everyone gave petty sympathy. She wanted to just scream, she didn't want to be in this situation. She felt like having a panic attack, but she didn't it was just depression. Elena ran home and cried and cried. After the funeral dinner her mother went to check on Elena, where she found her lying in the tub out cold. Her mother had freaked out. Maryann had called 911 in tears. Holding her baby girl she could feel how cold she was, ice cold. Elena woke in the hospital, she had a dream that No One was right beside her but him, he was,but it was just a dream. Her mom just came back from the Hospital Cafeteria and got her a sandwich with cool ranch doritos inside, her favorite. The Doctor has recommended to go to a rehab facility for depression.
Such a pretty girl with a broken heart. Elena was placed in California health and hope center. When she got there all she did was stared out the window. A couple days had past and she had opened up a little bit. Still wouldn't say was had happened. It was a secret and she would only take it to the his grave. Elena had became more sane each day she was there. Her mother would visit her every Saturday and Sunday, she never missed a visit.
A couple of months later she got released. Six months in rehab. Her mind set was way better. Elena told her therapist how they met. They had met at a party when they were 18, no, Noinoe was 18 but Elena was just about turn 18 in a couple months. Anyways she came with her friends and he came with his, they both were in a class together but rarely talked. At the party they were dancing then got pushed into each other, he thought she was so beautiful and told her that without thinking. Elena had smile and was blushing, "Thank you, I'm Elena." "Hey, I'm Noinoe, I think we have math together."
"Oh Yeah you sit three sits away from me, Noinoe Castillo, I knew you looked familiar." They looked at each other with such passion.You could see the twinkle in each others eyes.
" Wanna dance?"
" Yes, I would."
They had danced and talked for what seemed like forever. They talked about their childhood, their parents, friends and embarrassing stories. Before they knew it, it was morning.
He walked her home, like a true gentleman. Once they had got to her house they had exchanged numbers. Once he left he got a text from her. Within the hour they met up. They were inseparable.
Noinoe and Elena were the power couple of Eastwood high. Everyone said that they were "goals". With Noinoe all Elena did was smile. Everything was perfect because they were together. Even being near them you got happy.
"That was my everything, I couldn't even imagine breaking up with him but dying? I can't. I'm still hurt but I'm better now that I faced the truth that he is gone."
"I am recommending you to go out once a month to get explore. You need to start doing things on your own."
She went out every 2nd Friday of the month. She went to the bar near the house. Afterwards she would go to his grave, but once in awhile she would fall asleep right next to him. It would be just like old times. Although, this time was different; Elena went out and a man came up to her. He was tall, about her age, very good looking and he looked very familiar. Their eyes met he came towards her. "Elena?"
"Yes?"
He hugged her, it was Noinoe's brother. She couldn't believe it, but then yet he only showed up once in awhile. Elena only seen him twice. Once for Noinoe's dad birthday and when his dad got married. He didn't know Noinoe had died and didn't come to the funeral. She explained that her and Noinoe went to the art museum. Him and the owner were such great friends, he proposed to me in the butterflies area. He knew it was my favorite but one of his friends who liked me got extremely jealous and shot him. 17 shots fired and half of them, Noinoe got hit with. Once we got into the hospital he died. Anthony was speechless. That was his baby brother.
After hours of talking about Noinoe they went to his grave. For the first time Elena didn't cry. She was sad but didn't cry. On the Other hand Anthony couldn't stop crying. He been gone for so long, he didn't realize how much he'd miss.
"It's okay, I know what you are dealing with. I've had to go to a center because I wanted to be with him again."
They both looked in each other's eyes. For the first time since he had died she had finally felt happy like they were together. She offered him a ride to his house. He was way too drunk and depressed. She wouldn't let him walk and didn't know where he was staying. She took him home with her.
The drive home was the longest drive ever. Silence, but they both knew what each other was thinking. She turned on the radio but turned right back off because it was the song they had their first dance with, Janine and the mixtape- Hold me. Odd song for a party but it was their song. Once they had gotten home, she grabbed blankets and a pillow from the closet. The next morning he didn't remember nothing, how he got there, about Noinoe and even forgot who she was. Turns out that a waitress had spiked his drink. He didn't care because it wasn't the first time. She had to re-explained everything and show him the grave again. While she was there she fixed up his grave since Anthony had puked on the flowers. Petunias were Elena's favorite and Noinoe would buy her a petunia every month on the 15th. Besides the petunias she would wear one of his shirts and put a vanilla candle because it was his favorite. She does what she can for him but then yet he isn't even there.
It had been a year since She will always do the same just because she love he the same as he died, maybe even a little more. As the days,months and years goes on she realizes how much he meant to her and how many memories she has with him. Elena loved Noinoe as much as Romeo Loved Juliet. Although she didn't die he did. Noinoe Xazior Castillo will live on in her heart forever.
