Zerenity: Love Games

Jake leaves

Jake kissed my cheek. "Always remember me, Zerenity" Then he left. I cried for the next week or so. What was I gonna do without him? His black skater hair was one of his sexiest aspects. He was hot. Was I ever gonna find someone else like him? He was my life. My dream. My soul mate. I treated him like a god. He loved it. But now he was gone.

I walked down the coblestone street towards the apartment that Jake and I shared. As I pushed through the rotating doors, a gust of wind pushed my thick, black hair out of my face, revealing my tear stained cheeks. Jeremiah, the bellboy, took one look at me and was at my side in a instant. He looked worried. When i tried to push past him, he wouldn't budge.

"What's wrong Mrs. Diamond?"

I wiped my cheek with my jacket sleeve "nothing" I choked.

Jeremiah sighed and led me to the elevator. "Sleep tight Mrs."

"Not likely" I said just before the doors were fully closed. It felt like forever until the elevator got to my floor. I rummaged through my baby blue backpack for my keys. A picture of Jake and I caught my eye. Engraved at the bottom was the words I promise that i'll never ever leave you Z! What a lie that was.

I melted into my fuzzy, pink chair and started crying. I'm such a wuss! I thought to my self. Tomorrow was school. Everyone was going to think that I had something to do with Jake's  disappearance. I would just have to tell them that he was probably just ditching like he usually does. But his name won't be on the class role any more. What if the cops are there questioning people who are in close contact with him? Someone would tell them that I was his girlfriend. I was in deep shizz. I needed a plan that would save me from being handcuffed.

It all can wait till tomorrow. I told my self. I walked to my bedroom and put on my PJ's. I looked at the perfect figure in the mirror. It didn't look like me at all. It was the body of an empty stranger. Tears weld up in my eyes and no matter how hard that I tried, I couldn't hold back the tears. I didn't want my mascara to smear, so I reached into the medicine cabnet to grab my make-up remover. Inside was a bunch of Jake's stuff. I threw it all into the trash. After i regather myself, I finely made my face make up free. I walked to the bed and slowely pulled back the covers. As I slid under the covers, I couldn't help but think about Jake. I closed my eyes and let myself dream... dream that this was all a dream.
