Dear No One

Flashbacks

I was 10 when I got my first crush. His name was Alejandro. He had a Hershey complexion, light brown eyes and shoulder length hair that he kept in fresh corn rows. Alejandro was a grade higher than me and was one of the popular kids. I always wanted to talk to him but just couldn't find the guts to. One day in school he walked up to me in the cafeteria. I didn't notice because I was talking to my friend Yanara. " Alex, look up" she whispered. I almost died when I looked up. "Your name is Alexiana right?" " Yea, how did you know that?" " You a pretty girl, how could I not notice you." I blushed. "So, how about we hang out tomorrow? Maybe we can go see a movie" he suggested. "Sure." He walked away to his table. I looked at Yanara who was staring at me with her jaw dropped. Neither of us could believe what happened. The next day I started to get ready to hang out with Alejandro. I even raided my mothers make up chest. I was ready at around 3 which was the time Alejandro was supposed to pick me up. I waited for over 3 hours before I ran to my room. I could hear Mami laughing, which made the tears fall faster. I threw myself at the bed replaying the cafeteria scene in my head. There was a knock on my door. "Alex, may I come in?." " No Papi, go away!" He walked slowly into the room and sat on my bed. " How could he Papi? He stood me up." My lip quivered. Papi didn't say anything he just pulled me into a long hug. After what seemed like the hug that would never end, Papi spoke. "Alexiana, do not drown yourself in sorrow. This boy just lost the best thing that could ever happen to him. He should be crying.Eres un amor color de rosa. Sólo tu amor verdadero enfrentarán las espinas que lo protegen." I smiled at Papi. " Te amo Papi." " te quiero más". Papi kissed my forehead and left my room.

"Papi", I whispered as I looked up in amazement and shock. "Alexiana sweetheart what happened to you. I raised you better than this." I ran over and embraced him in a long emotional hug. " Oh Papi I missed you so much. I'm sorry I have done this. I wish I could stop, but i'm in too deep." Papi looked at me and I melted at how much I had missed him." Alexiana, do you remember when you were 10 and you drove yourself mad over that boy?"

"Si, but I don't understand how it relates?" " Sweetheart, Eres una rosa. You are strong. You can protect yourself from the bad and remain pure. Always remember that." " Will Papi." Papi slowly began to fade into the distance moving farther and farther away. I ran. I didnt want to let go just yet. Until I realized, Papi is always with me. My running slowed to a stop and I smiled.
