My name is Rebecca and i was born 15 years after the terrible events that took place luckily the nuclear radiation didn't kill me or effected me in any way, I'm actually lucky to be alive. it's self-evident that 90% of the population being born would die right after birth due to the poisonous nuclear radiation. My parents actually died. My mother died giving birth to me. And my father died of a nuclear explosion.
I Now live with my best friend Jaxen, along with his mother and grandma. It's cozy and his mother is really caring. I have my own room and wardrobe. Today is the town meeting.
I climb off my bed and walk over to my mirror and smile, today they'll be assigning the high schoolers into different groups and by groups i mean different colleges.
I'm 17 years old and my friend Jaxen is the same, we've always had a friendly bond since we we're little. And since we're living together we'll have much more time to hang out.
The door to my bedroom opens and Jaxen walks in, approaching slowly. He places his hands over my eyes and in a whisper he whispers into my ear "I have a surprise for you ". He says his hands still covering my eyelids.
I chuckle "what is it ".
"You'll see ". He says guiding me from off the chair and to the door. He leads me down the wooden steps and into i believe the yard.
His hands dissapear from my face and I'm able to see now, and i look before me at a beautiful motorcycle. I turn to Jaxen to excited to hold it in. I jump onto Jaxen screaming "thank you!!" .
"You're welcome ". He says chuckling, he pats my head gently. I smile and wrap my arms around his waist hugging him tightly.
"Awww, look at the two love birds ". A voice says, i pull away alarmed. The voice came from Jaxen's mother, she approaches us.
"Mom, we're friends ". Jaxen says, she chuckles and places her hand on her hips.
"Jaxen, don't deny it, when you were 14 you would always talk about Rebecca being you're girlfriend and about how y'all babies would look if you ever got married.". I have to cover my face since my face would start to turn red with embarrassment.
"That's not true, Rebecca ". He says a nervous glint in his eyes. I place my hands on his shoulder.
"We'll talk about it later ". I say
His mother smiles at me then approaches me, wrapping her slim fingers around my neck. "You're what my son needs ". She whispers smiling. I smile "You would make a great mother-in law ". I say smiling. She chuckles. I get along with Jaxen's mother like she's my own. I'm not trying to loose anyone.
"Okay guys, you've already ate, now how about you hurry down to the town hall for the meeting. " We both nod our heads
We walk up the stairs, i go into my room and he goes to his slamming the door shut.
When I'm in my room my eyes scan my bed and that's when i see a beautiful, but very expensive looking dress laying across the bed. I walk over to it and that's when i notice a piece of paper sticking out from the label. I pick it up hesitantly reading aloud:
Dear Rebecca,
If you found this dress, then it's yours to keep, i hope you like it.
Sincerely,
Jaxen's mom.
I just shake my head smiling at the beautiful dress before me. I pick it up and stare at it.
Jaxen is the only friend i have, since all my friends died when we we're little. Me and Jaxen are both lucky and whenever I'm around him i feel protected and just happy.
I strip out of my old clothes and into the dress. It's a perfect fit for me. I kneel down on the floor looking under the rickety bed, i see matching white heels, i shrug my shoulders and grab the heels placing them on my feet.
The door to my room moves slightly.
"Hello, who is it? " I say smiling.
No reply.
I shrug my shoulders and finish getting dressed. When I'm done i walk out my room and down the stairs. Jaxen's mother is staring up at me a smile crawling on to her lips.
"Jaxen is going to freak when he sees you ". She says clapping. I blush
"Thanks for the dress ". I say smiling
"It was actually Jaxen's idea, he wanted to buy you a few things since you're birthday passed. " I nod my head and walk over to the front door where the motorcycle stands. I run over to it and sit down.
Jaxen appears from the kitchen and walks out the front door approaching me slowly. His expression changing quickly.
"Wow...you look amazing, i mean um nice." I smile .
"Let's go ". I say grabbing his hand
"Okay ". He says
We then begin walking all the way to town hall which is only 2 blocks away .
