Disappearing Love

Sitting in the comforting room with my feet in the air holding hands with the one I love. My best friend on my right and the love of my life on the left. Sierra said that "I  don't want to be a third wheel," but I insisted. I knew Marcus wouldn't mind because we always hang out with each other. It was nothing new for her tag along with us. We went to go to see this scary movie and it was supposed to be a date for me and my bae but Sierra didn't want to be home alone. Marcus said "It's ok for her to go," so she tagged along. After watching the movie, we went to go get something to eat. We had some really flavorful Chinese food. I had a very luscious egg roll and it was very tasty. The smell of the food was amazing. I ate off of Marcus's plate because I knew he wasn't going to eat all of it.

"Sierra!" I called out her name, "Me and Marcus are going head back to the house. We'll see you tomorrow ok girl."

"Ok girl, I see you," Sierra said chuckling.

She was always the one to have something to say about me and my baby. But I still loved her. Sierra had been my best friend since middle school. We met after she was into a fight and was sent to the office and I was helping the principal. I was a good student so I would help the office with work since I was always done with my work. I had her sign a report about what had happened and she just poured out how she felt about the situation to me. I didn't know her at all, but since then we had always talked to each other. We start hanging out a lot, then we became best of friends and have been ever since. When I started dating Marcus in high school, she told me that I was spending too much time with him and she thought that she would lose me but I told her that she would never lose me. Me and Marcus starting dating the summer before 9th grade and we have been dating ever since. In 9th grade, we were the cutest couple in the school. In 10th grade, we were the most wanted couple in the school. In 11th grade, we were the most wanted couple in your bed. That was a crazy year because that was the first time me and Marcus starting having sex. In 12th grade, we were prom king and queen and longest lasting couple the school had ever seen. We met at the summer camp for freshmen. We started talking and I was feeling him and he was feeling me. We started going out on the 27th day of July and have been ever since. When we left the restaurant from getting something to eat we went back to his house and well you know what happened after that. Every time we did it, it was like we were the only people in the world. It would get really hot in the room and it was an amazing feeling to do that with him.

" I love you, you know that right," Marcus said out of breath.

    "Of course babe," I replied. "I love you too. You know that right?"

"Yea girl. Can't wait till next week."

"Me either. Our 6 year anniversary. I can't believe that it's been that long. "

"6 amazing years, at that."

"They have been amazing huh?" I said.

One week has passed and it's the day before our anniversary and I get this huge bouquet of flowers and chocolate. I was blushing all day. I and Sierra had gone to go get our hair done for tomorrow.

"Kevion. Girl you need to get them bundles, so we can go cause we still gotta go get our nails done."

"Gurl, don't rush me. Imma take as much time as I need girl."

When we left, we got in my car and Marcus had called me crying. His voice was so cracked up. I could that he was really sad and upset.

"Hey babe. What's wrong? Why you crying?"

"My sister just...just called me. She said that my momma was in the hospital..she said that...that she died after having...having a heart att..attack."
