AN at the end (:
Chapter 20 part 2
What I saw on the cliff was written in rock, "Forever in our hearts" and below were the initials: "S.B.M&M" I remember now that day clearly:
Flashback
I was seven years old and Derek 9. We just got home from school and we were calling out for our little dog Sparky. We didn't find him and went to our parents, when Dek and I asked they looked at us with sorrowful looks and said "Kids, Sparky has gone off to a better place". I didn't understand very well what they said but Derek did and he hugged me tightly. I looked up at him and said, "What's wrong?" and he replied "Sammy, we are not going to see him anymore" My eyes had watered and that day we held a funeral for him. The four of us, Britt, Mike, Derek and me.
Afterwards our parents took us to this same beach and when they weren't looking we sneaked to the cliff and craved "Forever in our hearts" followed by our initials.
End of Flashback
Now I understood why Mike brought me here. Right now Britt was in her way to England and Dek was in a happier place. So that left Mike and me, and now the "Forever in our hearts" wasn't only for our little Sparky but for Derek. And that made me smile, because I will know for sure that even if we leave, there would always remain our deeds. So at that very moment I looked up at the now orange sky and thought 'Thank God for giving me such an amazing family and friends' and for the first time I smiled a real smile.
"Thanks so much for this Mike" I smiled at him and he smiled back.
"Come on Sam, I'll buy you a hamburger" he said winking and I couldn't help but laugh.
One month has passed since that day and I've felt much better. I was less a wreck and I started using grey shirt instead of only black ones. Today I decided to wear a grey sweatshirt with a white shirt that said "I love my big brother" in black letters and black skinny jeans, with grey flats. I grabbed my bag, went downstairs and greeted my mom. I ate while talking to her, this week we had gotten closer than we were before. I said goodbye and went outside. Admiring the sunny day I waited for my ride. Mike and Mark took turns, today was Mark's turn. I smiled when he pulled up and got into the passenger seat.
"Looking good today" he complimented me.
"Thanks" I mumbled blushing and looking away.
I think I'm beginning to like Mark, he is my other best friend, and since the beginning he had been for me during the hard times. We talked animatedly until we arrived to the school and he opened the door for me and then with his arm over my shoulder we walked to where our friends were. When they saw us they began whistling and saying things that made me embarrassed and to my utter dismay it only made Mark grin cockily and I pulled away form his embrace. I missed the warm feeling of being close to him, but I wasn't about to meet that aloud.
"Shut up guys" I told them and they all laugh.
"So, we were thinking how about we all go to the movie theatre tomorrow, since it's going to be Friday. You guys in?" Christine asked.
"Sure" we both replied at the same time.
"It's settled then, tomorrow at the mall at 6 o'clock" Mike said looking towards Audrey.
Right now Mike and Audrey were dating and they made such a cute couple! But aside form that all of us were single. I was about to enter my class when someone took me by the arm and pulled me away. I looked at the person and saw it was Matt.
"What do you want?" I asked coldly.
"Sweetie no need to be like that, I just wanted to talk to you for a minute" he said grinning and I wanted to wipe his grin off his face.
"Oh, look at the time, looks like your minute is over" I replied smoothly and turned away "Goodbye Matthew"
Matthew's POV
Argh!!! I wanted to punch someone. Why couldn't she like me back? I really missed her, but I guessed the cocky attitude around her doesn't help. I shouldn't have used her in the first place, too late I realized I really liked her. I guess you don't know what you have until you lose it. I stared off into space, I need a plan. Something that'll made me win her back. I was awakened from my trance when the bell rang.
I decided to skip and think of my plan. I wish I could've comforted her when his brother died, I didn't particularly like him but she was suffering. I kept my distance because I knew that if I approached her she'll be even more upset. It was really hard for me to do. As I arrived at the place were I took her the day Derek left her in school and I gave her a ride home. I noticed that since she broke up with me I come here more often. It reminds me of our date and it makes me thinks better and be happier.
After about two hours I decided my plan and started making calls. I hope she at least agrees to be my friend.
Samantha's POV
Finally the last bell rang and I practically ran through the halls screaming FREEDOM! Ok, maybe not to that point but still I was happy school was over. I made my way to the parking lot and saw Mark waiting for me leaning in the hood of his car. I smiled and walked over to him.
"How was your day?" he asked getting in the car after closing the door for me.
"Normal, as always, yours?"
"Well I really liked mine because I get to take you to school and to your home" he said smiling and I looked down blushing.
We arrived at my house and I said goodbye, giving him a peck in the cheek and entered my house. I sighed in contentment and went to my room. I looked at the wall in my room, specifically at the picture of Dek and me when we were little.
"Good afternoon Dek, I miss you a lot. I hope you are having a great time up there" I smiled and looked above me.
Time flew by doing homework, eating, and reading and before I knew it was in my pajamas and falling into a dreamless sleep. I was awoken by the bright light in my eyes and also my alarm clock. I put it off and went to the bathroom to do my business. Today I dressed in a black knee-length skirt and a grey shirt that said "Do NOY start with me. You will NOT win" I slipped into black flats and walked downstairs as every other morning.
In the car Mike said what my shirt said was not true, and I argued back. I won just when we arrived to school and the image in front of me made me gasp.
