Better days

  

Better days are coming .
I remember dad's words very well.
For a very long time dad had told me that statement.
That everything is going to be okay.
But I had never seen the better days of my life .
Since the day i lost my sister I have never seen any day get  better .

Today morning as I open the Window in  my room to allow the sun to come in and brighten my morning ,
I feel that the better days are now.
Today was a better day .

For the last one month everything had been good.
A very loving boyfriend .
An amazing bestfriend .
And the best parents one would ever have .

             *****
For a very long time my life had been overshadowed by darkness .
I felt like I wasn't living anymore .
Sometimes I felt like I wouldn't survive anymore.

It was like the heavens have left me alone in a dark path.
I have no spotlight to show me the way.
The night is cold .
The moon doesn't even give light to my path.
I am so young and afraid .

That's what I felt ever since my sister was taken from us.

When I said I had the best parents ever what I meant was ;
Supportive ,caring and above all loving .
They were with me every moment of my life,
When I was so down ;
When I was trying so hard to survive ,they were all I had.

Just the three of us ,Family.
I wouldn't say we were a happy family but we were trying everything possible to make it one.
                 ......
After she died I went through different stages.
At first I didn't want to talk to anyone.
Then I pushed away all the friends I had .
Stayed in my room every time of the day when I wasn't at school .
Sometimes I would wake up and act okay but the day would  end with me having a breakdown .

Sad right?

I was leaving a sad life  despite having everything .

So when I decided to join university in a far place away from where I had grown.
Away from where I had lost her .
Away from memories with her .
I was surprised when my parents followed me .
I had decided that maybe I should try staying away from memories of her .
I would heal or at least I would finally come to terms with the fact that she was really gone.

So that morning when I finally took my suitcases and  passport ,  ready to leave for my studies  .
I was surprised to see that my parents had also packed .

They told me they were also leaving .
They would join me in the new place I was staying because we were family and family stays together .

They also wanted to leave for a while so they could experience life in a new place .
We weren't going to sale our house and I was happy about that .

So that's how we end up in west Virginia .
Since we came here good things have been happening ,
I meet this really cool girl and she finally crawls  her way into  my heart and we become best friends.
I also meet this very handsome guy who is an ex-school mate who also  got me charmed by his portions and he is now my boyfriend .

What alse would I ask for ...

These are the better days that I was looking forward to .

Being around lively people who breath life into you who was once a dead plant .

A plant that was already dead but suddenly somebody makes it their responsibility to water the plant back to life ...

"So love birds what movie are we watching today ," she says as she joins us in the living room

It's one of those lazy weekends when we are watching movies. 

My boyfriend and I crashing at Anna's place.

"I can see you are tired of watch me being sweet with my girlfriend " ,Andrew gets back at Anna.
She had just said she wouldn't mind watching me and my boyfriend the whole day.

"So let's do the usual we play cards and the one who wins chooses the movie and the loser will serve the others with whatever they want" I say cheerfully knowing that no one beats me when it comes to this game.

But today I was wrong
Anna must have learnt all my tricks because she won against me .
I was hoping I would win so I would stop Anna from making Andrew watch another love story .

It's more like saving myself from the embarrassment of crying everytime I watch a sad love story .
My boyfriend would always carry tissues to help with the crying.My sweet boyfriend. You've got to understand me ,am so emotional when it comes to these things.

As we sit down on the blanket and watch our movie am so glad for being here .
I can't believe that for once I have my share of better days .
Am so happy .

Everyday is becoming better
And I hope I Will one day accomplish what I came here for...
