Warning: death

Ethan finally responded to my message I take a deep breath squealing as I wait for it to load on my screen.

Hey sorry for taking so long to respond to you

I had to deal with my brothers annoying clingy sister and I don't know maybe how you look maybe I recognise you?

 I blink a couple of times and reread the email, the words annoying  and  clingy repeat in my mind, is that how he truly sees me? As annoying and clingy suddenly hot tears streaming down my face I quickly block his email and turn my  phone off trying to forget what i just read minutes ago. i sob quietly so that they can't hear me. was he just being polite because he felt he needed to just because i was my brothers little sister?  unanswered questions started flooding my mind but I couldn't do anything but cry  it all out until I fainted from exhaustion. I had my first heart break at the age of 11. From that point I tried distancing myself from him not that I ever was close to him. i decided to distance myself from him.

2 years passed

Ever since the incidence i have been tying to avoid him i didn't to see me as annoying and clingy anymore but there wasn't much to do I didn't even know if he meant what he had said to me or if he knew it was me sending the email? I didn't want to find out, so I  would just try to avoid him at all costs.

I woke up today a bit earlier than I normally would it was a Saturday morning I was about to head downstairs but I stopped at the stairs when I heard my mom, my brother, and Ethan whispering, "I'm sorry Ethan but there's just no easy way to say this" my mothers voice was starting to get shaky. " This morning" she continued your mother passed away. She overdosed on sleeping pills"  that was terrible news I couldn't imagine what was going through Ethan head, he was never really lose to his mother  since he was always spending time here in our house depression ever since his dad left them so in order to cope she would work almost 24/7 and when she was free she would always sleep she used sleeping pills so since I met Ethan he would have to come here since his mother was either sleeping or at work. My mother broke down. Ethan hugged her. Mom continued saying through her sobs "you better pack your things your dad is coming to pick you up you'll have to live with him" Ethan dad was a Rich man since he left the family he never visited them wait he's coming today?" he asked shocked "yes he'll be here soon my mom said trying to recompose herself after the breakdown.

After sometime we heard a car honking in front of our house Ethan dad or more specifically Ethan new driver came to pick him up then turned to us and bid goodbye to each one of us he hugged my mom and whispered something into her ear I couldn't hear, but she started crying next up was my dad hugged him "call us when you get there" my dad said "of course"  my brother was next in line they both hugged, and they said something to each other but it was muffled lastly he came to me "twinkle~" he said I just gave him a polite smile I was still a bit bitter from what had happened at the time he tried asking me what was wrong but I refused to answer and every time he was around I would just look myself in my room only getting out if  I was thirsty. He kissed my Temple, and then he started walking toward the car where he turned around one last time he looked at us but I felt his beautiful green eyes  linger on me a bit longer than on the others did that mean something? I didn't want to have false hope like last time. He waved and then entered the car and left I felt something wet on my hand that's when in noticed that I had been crying. The place he kissed me was still a bit warm. After a while I went inside and headed straight to my room that where I found his ukulele... Had he forgotten it? Did he leave it on purpose? I walked loser and took  the uke into my hands that's when something falls a little piece of paper  I opened it.

Dear twinkle 

I'm leaving you my ukulele. Do you remember when I used to play songs for you on it, you really  enjoyed it. 

I'm sorry if I ever upset you or anything. I left this instrument for you, it is now yours you can do whatever you want to destroy learn how to play  I don't know like I said do whatever you want. I left it here so that you could keep a piece of me  hope we meet again one day. 


As if I hadn't cried enough already I started crying more I took the ukulele and set it down beside my bed


6 years later

I was almost finishing college I had been down for sometimes I had recently caught my boyfriend heating on me the worst part about that i that we were in a long term relationship I thought that everything was good between us but apparently not when you decide to surprise him and catch him with the rude Secretary

I had been feeling down for sometime but what was the point it's not like that was going to undo his actions so that's why I decide to try out a new start.

I had just found an advertisement for a job as a manager for a certain singer I got so excited that I didn't even look at whom the singer was if his name was even there to begin with. I dressed up in a formal attire, applied some light makeup after that I got my keys and started heading out to the place listed on the ad.

I arrived at big building. I took a deep breath before leaving the car to try to recompose myself and calm myself down. I remembered what one of my friends told me imagine you're a lake or a body of water and try to keep it calm. Some negative thoughts started streaming  in I tried to block them out to not make me feel more stressed than I already felt. I got out of my car and tried to adjust my skirt to try to undo the imaginary crinkles. As I got inside the building I was greeted by the receptionist she was a beautiful lady she wore formal clothes as well but hers seemed to fit her perfectly it made me feel a bit out of place. I approached her and asked her about the job, she smiled at me and told me to wait at the seats until I was called. Probably ten minutes passed by, but they felt like ages and soon the secretary called me "Mrs. L/n" I stood up and smiled awkwardly at her, she signalled me to follow her, and so I did.


I'm sorry? It'll get better I swear! So ill end this here oof btw i haven't edited any of these chapters so if there are stupid spelling mistakes ill find out when I feel like rewriting these.
