Ivan's first love

“Ivan's first love”

My life was normal until a girl and her family moved to the house next to ours.
My window was opposite to her window, she was noisy, clumsy and annoying but I've never seen her face.

I only knew that she was noisy and every time she opens the window, I closed mine.
First day of school and the noisy girl next door was being annoying again.

I wiped my wet hair with the towel before opening my window.
I gulped when i saw the girl removing her towel she was naked in front of my eyes.

We stared at each other for a minute both shocked, After i gained my consciousness i immediately slammed the window shut.

❝Sh*t❞I covered my ears when she shouted like crazy. We met at school unlike at home she was well behaved at school, I noticed that everyone ignores her.

She was pretty, she should be famous but no one noticed her as if she wasn't really there.
One night I saw her crying outside, I was throwing our garbage, I sat beside her.

❝What's wrong?❞She stared at my eyes before wiping her tears.

❝My mom and dad are fighting again because of me.❞I caressed her hair and smiled.

❝It's alright, they'll be okay tomorrow.❞

❝You promise?❞I nodded.
Starting that day i was always with Eile and my parents was against it.

❝Eile is a good girl mom!❞

❝Ivan! Eile is not real!❞I sighed.

❝Stop talking nonsense mom! I'm going, eile is waiting outside.❞i ran outside where eile was standing holding her bag.

❝Lets go.❞I held her hand, she smiled.
I ignored my parents, they paid a psychiatrist to check my mental health.

❝If I'm dead would you remember me?❞She asked one night while we were at the park, sitting on the bench.

❝Why would you say that? Of course i will.❞I smiled.

❝You forgot about me.❞she started crying.
I was about to touch her face but she starts fading.

❝Eile!❞I followed her when she ran towards the swing. Then my parents and eile's parents came, they were crying and i'm confused.

❝Eile was your childhood friend ivan, she's my daughter and she was murdered here in the park.❞I stared at eile's mom, she was crying.

❝You don't remember because you were traumatized a year ago.❞Memories came flooding. I called her in the middle of the night to met her here but when I came she was dead.

Eile's dead, My first love is dead.

❝You remembered.❞I saw eile sitting on the bench, she was smiling at me.
