Letting Go Is Easier Said Than Done (An Original Story)

Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Time Skip... Two Months Later...

  

   Today's the first time that I'm seeing Becky in over two months. I feel bad for turning down a super romantic date with Derek but time with Becky is so precious these days. Thankfully he understands and is more than willing to let me spend time with Becky. I'm so lucky to have a boyfriend like him. Most guys are so possessive and don't let their girlfriends have a life outside of them, but that's not the case with Derek. In fact, Derek is very fond of my parents, Becky, and even Ted. They've started to form an adorable bromance. It's cute. Derek should have a guy friend, even if we happen to share one. I don't mind sharing friends with Derek. We've formed our own little special family that I wouldn't trade for the world. 

  Becky and I are meeting each other at the movies to see the DUFF. I literally just finished reading the book two hours ago so that I could understand the plot of the movie even better than if I hadn't read the book. I'm hoping that the movie relates to the book at least somewhat because the book was great. I'm a few minutes early but I'm sure that Becky will be here soon. I know she stresses out about time but I specifically told her not to rush. She's had some rough spells lately and I don't want her worrying over something as silly as getting the movies early. 

Twenty minutes later...

  Becky arrives and I wheel her into the movies, handling all of the expenses for the both of us. Once I get her settled in the theater itself, I go back out and get us some popcorn and her a drink. I manage to get everything quick and am right back to where I just left Becky moments before. We catch up on everything that's happened the past couple of months, both the good and the bad. Becky got to meet Taylor Swift on the day of my actual birthday. She showed me the pictures that her parents took of them. I'm not going to lie, I was a little jealous, but mainly I was happy for her. She deserves some happiness. Most of the time she's so sick and sad. It scares me whenever she has one of her spells. I'm nervous that one of these days she's going to have one in my presence and I'm not going to know how to handle it without panicking. 

 Fifteen minutes later...

  The movie starts, taking the pressure of Becky and I from having to talk about anything deep and emotional for a little while. We simply binge eat our popcorn, relax, and enjoy the movie.

After the movie...

   We gush about how great The Duff was. It was different from the book but still good nonetheless. I wouldn't say it's my favorite movie of all time, but I was pleased with it and would watch it again. "Myra, I have something for you." I look at her in surprise. "You do? Why?" She smiles. "You're my best friend and I love you. I wanted to get you a little something." Becky digs into her coat pocket and pulls out a small blue box, handing it to me. I smile back and her open it. When I do, I gasp. It's the most beautiful bracelet with a bunch of music related charms. I throw my arms around her instantly. "Becky it's beautiful. I love it. Thank you so much." She hugs me back even tighter than I hugged her. "You're welcome Myra. I'm just so happy you like it." 

   Becky's dad gives me a ride home which is nice because Becky and I get a few extra minutes to talk on the way home. When he pulls up to my house, I get out of the car slowly, lingering for a minute to say goodbye to Becky and give her one last hug. I make it last for as long as possible because in the back of my mind, I'm afraid that I might not see her again...
