Broken String Of Fate

Long Lost Friend

*Amy's POV*

Have you 'ladies' ever wonder how you would be like? I have and it clearly wasn't what I expected I would become. There are many types of girls: the sporty one, the fashionista, the artist and many more. I, on the other hand, turned out to be the chill one. I wasn't that girl who goes out all the time or go shopping with my friends. I wasn't that girl who loves accessories either, what more if wearing them. I just sit down on a couch like a potato and eat my food while watching my favourite shows. Of course I do spent time with my friends but only when I'm in the mood. I grew up many years with them through thick and thin. It made us who we are today. That was me a year ago and everything changes. Except one.

Isaac. My best male friend. Well, at least he was. We got separated since young and I never get to see how he was or how he looks like.

I can still remember like it was yesterday when Isaac and I were playing a video game. A classic car race. Funny enough, I would always win him. Believe it or not, we were only seven years old.

"Hah! I win again! Now give me that toy!" I raised my voice at him as if I was the world's champion. He grudged.

"That's not fair! You're cheating!" He shouted back.

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"Yes yes yes!"

"No no no!"

"Children! Be quiet! You're going to make our neighbours mad," my mom demanded who came from the kitchen.

"Sorry!" We shout back together. Whoops. We made a fuss again. Could hear my mom sighing.

Suddenly, a toy was thrown at me.

"There, you can have it," he said. That was quick but I smiled anyway. Not long after, I hugged him from the back and laughed. He laughed with me. I wished for nobody else but him by my side. We've been friends since we were toddlers. He has always been there and look out for me. Every day after school, he would come to my house or I would come to his. Our parents wouldn't mind of course.

A year later, something unexpected happened. My mom and his mom lost contact. I didn't know what had happened between them but I was devastated to hear the news. But my mom just trying to cover up and say they moved out of town because of their dad's promotion which I didn't understand..? Mommy.. really? Like why would you lie to me? It made me so upset because this made me overthink if he actually hated me or something cause I would tease him and usually he would tease me back. Did I over do it? I locked myself in a room, feeling so lonely. I could tell my mom feeling very guilty for telling me that. My dad tried to comfort me, saying that he knows that he and I would meet once again. One day when I grow up, my mum would tell me why but till today, they didn't really tell me what really happened but I couldn't care less about it now. I care more for Isaac. And from that day, I never get to see him again.

10 years later and still no sign of Isaac anywhere. I heard rumors that Isaac came back to my town. Sadly I didn't bump into him anywhere. He didn't even come and visit me at least. I guess he forgotten about me completely. Do I not mean anything to you? Was I too mean? Overthinking sucks. But again, it could be just rumors. Or probably I happen to swift by him but I couldn't recognize his features. We're 18 years old now anyway so the only face that I could picture was his younger self.

I knew that deep down in my heart, Isaac and I could finally meet again. I never lost hope. For 10 years now, I'll be waiting. And I'm sure you have Isaac.

*Isaac's POV*

I saw you my old friend. You didn't see me. You were with a guy. You looked so happy. I assumed he was your boyfriend so I left. I didn't want to disturb you. I never stopped thinking about you. I hated when that tragedy happened, meaning I could never see you every day. Until today.

You looked so different. I remember how tomboyish you were and now, you're wearing dresses and heels. I'm surprised you wore earings too. I wish I could see you and talk to you. We have so much to catch up on. I promise I'll come to you, just wait a little while longer. One day, we can bring those memories back again like we used to.

Amy, we will see each other again.
