My high school life

Epilogue

I sit up out of my bed as the sun shines through the blinds. I lethargically arise from my slumber and waddle along to the balcony. I turn on the bubble machine my husband got me for my birthday and drink a cup of coffee as I watch each bubble fly away on their journeys, being blessed by the sunlight as they twinkle.

"It's been ten years hasn't it" I muttered to myself inbetween sips. It has been ten years. Ever since everything happened. Ever since my life had gotten completely turned around by some swift guys who thought the world orbited around them. At first I guess I tried to destroy the system but instead I ended up getting sucked into the gravity, orbiting them just as well. But I didn't mind. My universe got smaller but in a way, more meaningful.

With new ends come new beginnings. After high school, everyone who was left went their separate ways. Except David and I. We couldn't have gotten closer. We then met alfonzo and Mercedes who made the world around them into a world of pure imagination. Our realism taught to us by harsh experience matched their aloof natures which knew no worries or hardship like hands to a glove.

I spent so much time wondering what I wanted to be. As well as David. After a lot of thought, I decided to major in covert investigations and David in I.T. Everything was going so well but we still couldn't forget them. We could never forget anything. It still haunts me to this day. In my dreams I can hear the shouts we exchanged after the funeral, I still remember vividly the sound of the ambulance as I was lying on the ground. All of it. But I don't let them consume me because those times had already past. This is the present and the only thing in front of me is the future. A future I want to look forward to.

My husband boorish throws his hands around me as he knows what I'm probably thinking about and wants me to stop wasting my time.

"Good morning sleepy head. I see your still half - asleep with that dreamlike look on your face" he uttered in his deep, calming voice.

"Maybe"

"Well stop drinking the coffee anyway and make yourself some food. You and the baby need some nutrients to stay in top shape"

I reminded myself of the embryo inside me. I turned off the bubble machine and geared myself to make a meal. I begin to walk back inside when he wraps his arms around my shoulders and pulls me close.

"Actually stay here for a bit. I want to feel your warmth. I can't be without you. I love you. I love you and I won't ever let you think otherwise. Always remember that"

"Why are you being so sappy? It's oka-"

He quickly turns me around to face him head on. My chest jumps as I'm so close to face. His hair. His lips. His amazing eyes which I can never find my way in.

"I mean it. Really. I love you. With every fibre of my being. We have already oust so many people who even now I have so many things to say to. I want to say all these things to you so that you know."

I stare into his passionate, shimmering eyes.

"I love you too. You won't ever lose me. I promise. I will be with you forever. I won't ever leave you. Never"

I love him and he loves me. We embraced eachother as I stared at our wedding photo.

David and my wedding photo.

Knowing that what we went through was meant to be. Even if we have regrets or a dark past. We have this present which I couldn't have been better even if I tailor made it and we have a future that will be full of happiness. For that, I would change nothing.
