Next Chapter

Third Chapter

"Don't be afraid to move on and start a new chapter."

Memories never fade.

WHY?

Sometimes, I want to dodge myself on the wall so that I will have amnesia. Or to have the same age as my grandma so that I have a high possibility of having an Alzheimer's disease. But I can't. 

and in the worst case,

I HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT.

The most wonderful moment was when we met,

The time, stories and love I have shared with you,

Have all been; without regret.

My life has been quiet and peaceful

Until that unforgettable moment

You came like a silhouette of my soul

Then you walked right through my heart.

You decided alone and went away,

My feeling are never been right

I know I can't wish for you to stay,

Because by tomorrow, I can't see no more light

Every time my mind says move on

My heart says hold on

So many questions inside my head

But the answers are always says 'I Love You'

Now your hands could never be mine,

But my heart is all yours all the time,

How could you be mine?

When you're not meant to be mine

Our Memories continue to live in my mind and heart

As I wish you to have a brand new start.

I wish I was the one

Who's always with you all the time,

Never mind the imperfections between you and I,

But you will still remain the love of my life

I sucked at writing poems. 

I recited it silently as I thought of that person to whom I dedicated those poems.

Reid.

I missed him. But I shouldn't.  I don't know him anymore, right? I should start forgetting our past, the relationship, him and everything. I should forget all of that.

I saved the document and closed the window. I stared at my boring black desktop wallpaper as I think of what should I do next.

"Facebook" my inner voice whisper. Yes. I should open my facebook account. It's been a week since I opened it. I was very busy in school these past few weeks that's why I didn't have a chance of opening it. Maybe I should be a little more updated of what's happening on the Internet world.  I removed my Laptop on my lap and placed it on the bed. 

I typed my email and password and took a sip from my coffee while waiting for the facebook to load. As soon as my Facebook loads, I got 1 new unread message and 3 notifications. THAT'S HOW BORING MY FACEBOOK IS.

Is it from Reid?

NO! Of course, it's not! Why would he message me? STOP ASSUMING ZOE! STOP.

I open the message and It was from Laura.

"MOVE ON!"

Me: Yeah! I will. If I could, I would.

I closed our chat box to check my news feed but it popped again.

Laura was fast!

"YOU SHOULD!"

Really, Laura. You're not that Mad! All capital letters with three exclamation marks. You don't need to shout! 

I started to write a reply but before I click the enter button, she sent me another message.

"SKYPE."

I can now see Laura's face on my Laptop Monitor and she can see mine on hers.

"Zoe!!!" she started excitedly.

"Hey!"

"I have a plan!" she seemed very excited that she starts jumping on her bed.

"Laura, stop with the plans. They suck." 

"It's not!" she's calming her voice. "I will help you to move on."

She's really my best friend. She always helps me even in its craziest way. I remember when we're on 7th grade and I want to attend a party but my parents didn't allow me. Laura helped me. She turned off all the lights on my house and my family panicked and that's the time when she helped me to escape from my parents. 

" I will help you to find someone to date with."

"DATE?!?!?!?!?" I exclaimed. "Like, you'll find someone to have a date with me?" 

"Exactly!" Laura clapped.

"Hell, NO!"

"Heaven, YES!"

"Laura... I WILL NOT!" 

"Zoe... YOU WILL!" she tries to imitate my voice. 

I told you, she will help me even in the CRAZIEST way!

"When you find someone that you will be with, you'll eventually forget about Reid and all those freaking Memories."

She has a point! Maybe dating someone will help. But DUH?!?!? like we'll find someone to date with my hideous face!

"Yeah. Fine. So what are we going to do first?" I asked staring at her eyes.

"Tell me, what do you want from a guy? I mean, what's your dream guy?"  moving her eyebrows up and down.

"I don't like normal guys." I simply said.

"You don't like normal guys?!?!?!? You like weird guys? nerd? Abnormals?" 

"I mean, I like guys that a typical girl don't." hahaha it's kinda confusing. I can't explain it to her. "I don't like heartthrobs, guys with a six-pack abs, guys with charming faces, athletics... you know. I don't like those guys."

"You should realize that you are describing Reid." Laura took a deep sigh. "Zoe, you should find someone that you will love and that will love you back. It's not Reid. There are many guys out there!"

Reid is the only guy I want. 

The only guy I like.

The only guy I love.

"Zoe!!!" Mom's calling me from downstairs. "We have a guest!"

"A guest?" Laura asked. 

"Yes. A guest. Who is it?" I asked Laura.

"Of course, I don't know."

"Just a sec." I told Laura.  I ran downstairs and find mom.

"Mom? Where are you?" I scanned the living room and the kitchen.

"I'm in the Dining Area, Dear." 

"Yes, Mom? Who is our gue-" my mouth didn't utter anymore words. My eyes met the guest and that's when my heart was pounding so fast. I felt like a bucket of water was being poured to me. My body was steady and still.

Mom started talking.

"I would like to introduce you our gues-" I cut her off. 

"No." I ran upstairs straight to my room.

I jumped to my bed and took a breath.

"What's wrong?" Laura asked.

'Our Guest' my mouth didn't make any sounds.

"What? Zoe?? What happened?" Laura looked worried. "Who's your guest?"

"Reid."
