Wishing I was 23

New school

Last night was the best night of my life. We did it in three rounds and she took it in. I am so, so.... How do you say it? Extremely Happy.

She is like a mythical creature that you always adored since you were a child and it came true once it comes to see you.

Anyways, I woke up naked with no one by my side. I felt cold without her presence. I sat up and pain starts to fill my chest.

A little fact about my chest. In the middle of my breasts, there's a deep scar that is still healing. It's one of the reason why I flinced during tight hugs. I got a long dash below my collarbone because of the torture I went through in thr foster homes. It wasn't a complete nightmare when you go to the basement. I use to get morning beatings from my foster dad and brother because they hate that his wife and mother chose to keep me. She died in a sudden car accident with a bus. They blamed me and it got way worse. They started to use weapons on me like blades, hammers and other tools that you do not want to know. I couldn't complain or they would litterally try to kill me slowly. But they already did. The kicking and punching on my chest made several ribcages craked. Heck, Five of them cracked and I had to hold it in. I never was appointed to a hospital till the Lynch's adopted me. I was grateful, remembering the words of what my mom use to say, "Each scar tells a great story". Her words were as wise as an owl.

Back to the morning, I quickly changed into yesterdays clothes, except I didn't wear my hoodie. I wore one of Lauren's softball hoodie. 'Jauregui 27'.

I went downstairs and was mesmerized by the aroma of breakfast. I saw Lauren happily humming and swaying her hips to the song on the radio while cooking pancakes and making coffee.

The song played was 'Smile' and I couldn't help but admire the beauty in front of me. I went sneaking up on me and as soon as the second verse came up. I hugged her from behind and sang the part.

Today I feel like blowing all my cash on you
I'd buy you anything until I'm broke (until I'm broke)
Today I want to turn your skies from gray to blue
And if it rains on you I'll be your coat whoa oh oh

She turns around and smile and sang with me.

I dream on, dream about you
What can I do to make you feel all right?
Baby, I don't want to see you cry, no

We happily sang the chorus together and belt it out.

I want to see you smile
I want to see you smile

I sang the next one as she flipped the pancakes over.

Let me take your picture, baby
I'll save it for a rainy day
I don't need much
I guess I'm just old fashioned in that way
So on the count of three, lets see you

I grabbed her hand and counted to three using my hands.

Uh 1, uh 2, uh 1, 2, 3!

At this moment, I closed my eyes and belt out this part and I heard her giggle.

Smile
I wanna make you smile oh oh
I wanna see you smile
I wanna see you smile

It's the things you do
I wanna make you smile

"I love you", I whispered, out of breath.

"I love you too", she answers back. She kissed me and then, Mike came down with a smile looking at us.

"Go on and watch something, I'll continue from here", Mike shooed us away and we cuddled on the couch watching The Maze Runner on tv.

"Today's your first day of school, right?", Lauren spoke up. "Yeah, I don't know whether to be excited or not but I'm going with Lucas, Sarah and Faith so, I think I'm gonna do just fine", I answered.
