Butterfly Effect

Chapter 10 (Last)

I didn't mind the calling. My mind was not fixed on one goal, to go to her and tell her what I feel. My sneakers were thudding on the ground, as I tried to catch my breath. A bead of sweat trickles along my temple, as I run. It's not too late. I could still tell her, that I...love her. I shake my head to erase the tragic thoughts forming in my head, and try to focus on the road ahead of me. The road leading towards her. I finally see the wright iron gate and push it roughly aside. That's when I saw her, and my heart stopped beating. It's her. The girl of my dreams. The love of my life. She was grazing at the sky, the stars illuminating her pale face, as she tilts her head up, her dark hair flowing freely with the wind, her long, thick lashes sweeping in her face, as a smile forms in her soft pink lips. I took a deep breath, and called out,

"Theodora,"

"I remember it all. Every single detail of it. From the day i first met you, until the day your parents took you away from me. Those tragic days when i was locked in one of the prison cells for disobeying the rules. I remember them all... When i cried and cried silently in one corner hoping that the pain i felt without you by my side will somehow vanish. I remember it all," I started. "I am willing to spend eternity with you. It may be weird to hear, but I love you," I said close to tears. "Oh Leandro", she said as she slowly faded away. "Wait, Theo, why are transparent?" I asked. She just looked at herself then back to me. "Well, I guess it is almost my end," she said as tears were pooling at the corners of her eyes. "How can I save you?" I asked traumatized. "An act of true love," a voice suddenly said coming from my back. When I looked around to look at the person who said it. I smiled when I realized who it was, grandma Ysmiela. I took a deep breathe ad looked at Theo before taking a deep breath and kissed her. I was surprised when I opened my eyes because I became a butterfly. "You have been created in order that you both might make a difference. You both have within you the power to change the world," my grandma smiled as she slowly disappeared. I smiled and regretted nothing because I am with the person I love. Until death do us part---
