I remember my funeral day, it was horrible. So many people there, people who barely knew me. Eliza spoke at the funeral and Matt. Their speaches broke my heart. I had wish I could tell them I was okay, and tell them I'm still here with them.
-----
On August 10th, 2016 I woke up to the sound of Eliza blow drying her hair. "Eliza do you have to do that in here?" I remember complaning. She turned it off and said "Damp, dead hair ? Noo thank you." Eliza responded. I sat up in my bed and yawned. "What's your plans for today?" She asked me. "I don't know I might go to the park." I say.
She looks at me as she puts on her shirt. "Why don't you go do something fun? Or hang with that Drew boy you told me about. He's a cutie." She said. I smile "He's probably busy I dont wanna bother him." I say as I get up. "He's into you, or from what you told me he is." She said. "If you don't want him, I'll take him. Trust me. He's more of my age anyways." She said.
"Speaking of Drew. Look what he texted me." I said and tossed her my phone "Good Morning Beautiful" she mocked the text. And smiled, she started texting back. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GIMME IT!" I yelled but she already pressed send. She put "Hey Drew, wanna hang out today?"
"I hate you." I had responded. I remember that led me to meeting up with Drew at the mall. We were sitting at the food court. "Do you know what you want to eat?" He asked me. I shrugged " I guess Chik-Fil-A" I respond. "Alright I'll go get it for you. Its on Me no worries." He said. Before I could protest that I will pay for it he already left.
I sat there and waited for him. While sitting i had remebered my ex-boyfriend Josie came up to me. "Well if it isn't Thick Ass Le Le" I roll my eyes. "Josie what do you want ?" I say. He shrugs "I was here with the squad. You remember them don't you?" He winked at me. I began to have flashback and gotten uncomferable. In just my luck Drew walked up.
He gave me my food and then looked at Josie. "Who are you?" He says. Josie smirks "Her ex." He says nodding At me. I believe Drew told him to leave. Or Made him leave. It was like over a year ago. Give me a break. But the next moment, I remember clearly.
"Leeane I wanna date you." Drew says as I was eating my fries. I looked up at him. "I know its soon but you're just amazing. You're rare. I never met a girl like you before. So genuine and gorgeous with a beautiful personality. Will you Go out with me?"
My heart was beating fast at the moment. I remember. I was happy. I was genuinely happy for the first time in forever. Of course I said yes. But I shouldn't have. I shouldve said no. I should've left him alone. I should've...
My sister was the first person I told. She was so excited. She had said thanks to her we were dating. She was more excited then I was. I remember laying down thinking about Drew and I and how we were together and it made me happy. He was the light in my life at the time. While the family was always arguing , Drew was my escape. He was my light in the dark tunnel that was my life and I couldn't let that go.
The way Nina and my brother found out was funny. It was about a week after he had asked me out. In fact he had came to the house, with flowers for me. My brother had answered. He called me to the door and there I saw my chocolate boyfriend there and he grinned at me.
My brother wasn't mad about he he just said he wished I told him. Nina said he was a handsome guy and I did well. They loved him. They thought he was amazing. So did I. My brother didnt like the age difference though.
Around this time school was starting for me. My senior year, finally, I was happy to be starting my last year of highschool and start my life....or that's what I had thought .
