My New Roommate (Short story)

1.5 (Ending)

Days have past since veronica broke up with me. I thought she will be at the apartment but no, she gather all her things and leave. Without telling me.

I tried texting and calling her but she's not answering. It hurts me to think that I'll leave the girl that I love the most, just because she wants me too. I haven't seen her in school this last days I tried asking her friends but they also don't know.

What did I do?

It's now our graduation and one by one the names are called by the head teacher. I haven't seen her here, it's our graduation. She wouldn't get her diploma if she are not here.

"Steel, Felix" I walked to the stage taking a deep breath I walk to the principal giving me the diploma and shaking hands. I looked through the crowds and there where I catch the gaze of the girl I want to see. She looked shocked I quickly ran off the stage to find her.

She's walking towards the door and I follow her.

I took the short cut to exit the building and there I found her walking to her mom. I caught her arm and she look at me with wide eyes. "Let go"

"No." I said through gritted teeth. I look at her mom nodding at me. I smiled at her and look back to veronica. "You leave the apartment without telling me?" I question. Even if it's not a question. She looked down but I caught her chin to look at me. Her eyes where closed, I removed my grip to her and she stood frozen.

"Why did you do that? I tried reaching you, I, I tried everything.. I play your favorite song" she slowly open her eyes. Tears ready to fall. Hurt. Worries. Sadness. Is all I can see through her eyes. It hurts me more than it hurts her, seeing her like this because of me. Kills me every time.

"Don't you want me anymore?" I asked her. Afraid to hear a yes. She shooked her head as she removed my handa to her chin. "I thought it was clear to both of us?" I furrowed my eyes at her. She's kidding.

"We are done, Felix" it hurts me so fucking million times. Why does she always have to say that?! I know it already!

"Why? Why are you hurting me this much?! Why do you have to end it this way? Huh?" She turn around and face me again brushing her tears away. "Because this is the only way" the tears blurred my vision. A sharp pain strike my heart. Aching.

"No it's not. There's another way. We'll find a way. Please veronica. Don't leave me." She sits down and up her face where red and eyes are shot red. "I can't!" With that she breaks down in front of me.

I hate this! I walked to her hugging her but she shrug. Every time I try she's blocking me. "Please. Don't leave me. You can, veronica. You can, just please not now, not ever. I need you" tears falling down my face. It's our graduation we should be happy but, we don't know when we will be happy and when we will not.

I caught her both cheeks. "Don't you understand? She doesn't want us together. She will broke you and it will hurt me over and over again.. I can't stand seeing you being this way, I want you to be okay." She don't understand me. What is she talking about?!

"Then stay. Make me okay, fix me whenever I'm broke. If she doesn't want us together, somebody will. Just-" she cut me off by crashing her lips in mine. I miss this lips. I miss her. We both pulled but she removed my hands to her face. "I'm doing your promise" she whisper.

"I'll wait. Until the day that you'll find me, until there's hope, until I can breath, and until I can feel that I still love you. And I hope, you don't stop looking for me. Because I will always there-" she pointed to my head "and here" to my heart "waiting for you."

Then she kiss me on cheeks whispering "I love you" and with that she walked to her mom but I stood frozen until they drove off. She leave me a meaningful words. And instead of getting hurt, I smiled for knowing that there is still hope. That she'll wait for me. That she will not giving up on us.

All I just need is fix my shit up. To mom and find her. I will find you, V. I won't stop. Because that is what true love is. And I don't believe about 'if you love someone set them free' shit. I believe in 'if you love somebody. You gotta fight for it' right?? Of course.

Veronica's POV

That was so great. Telling him that I'll wait for him. I believe that he'll find me, he never backs down I know him.
"It feels good right?" Mom said. I nodded at her "never thought that I'll find him" she chuckled. "Where do you want to go now?" Mom asks. I breath in and out looking out the window. "To dad. I want him to tell about this" she nodded and we drove to the chapel.

We reached my dads grave and I sit beside it running my hands to his name. "Hey dad. I miss you so much. No words can tell how I really miss you. I'm a lady now after a month of not visiting you I learn how to depend on myself not to anyone. I.. I've find Felix. Remember him? Your favorite boy." I chuckled at myself.

"But as always, Silvia still hates me. But he fight for me and show me how he truly loves me. He reminds me of you, dad. On how corny he was and how he fight for his love. I broke up with him, dad. I want him to grow more, I want him to find his self first, I want him to be sure of his feelings. If he look for me after that then he'll deserve me. I'll get in touch her sister, just an update on him. But if he change his mind and didn't look for me. Then it's fine. Atleast he didn't get the wrong girl."

As tears fall down on my face. I miss dad so really much. I lay beside him. Closing my eyes.

"I wish you were here. So you can scold me and tell me how awesome I was for being matured enough. I'll be your baby girl"
