Smile at me again

chapter 2

,, Hi I'm Maya ,,

-Hi Maya, I'm Lara Jean, I'm glad-

Maya reminded me a lot of me. A very modest and tidy girl and I had a feeling that we would get along very well.

We started unpacking things and redecorating our dorm, because we decided it was best to do it now, while we still had time.

........................................

We listened to music all afternoon, unpacked and talked. The last two things I left for the end were two picture frames. One was a picture of my mom and the other was Peter. I put them on the table next to my bed and marked my new beginning!

Maya's life story shook me very much, because it reminded me a lot of mine. She came from England to study here, because, as she said, she felt the need for a completely new beginning. She lost her father two years ago, so she stayed to live with her mother and brother in London. Her dad died suddenly, he didn't even know he was sick. I can't imagine how hard it was for her, actually how hard it is for her, is that our stories are similar but still harder to lose someone who is longer in your life. I know this from experience because my dad and Margot had the hardest time, they had mom longer in life than me and Kitty. All the responsibilities fell on Margot because she was the oldest, but again so young.

-,,You know Lara Jean, that void left behind will never be filled and no one will ever be able to replace it, but I am grateful for every second we spent together and every memory I have with him. I have to come to terms with the fact that my life is just beginning and that I should live the best I can because I know he would want to!''

Maya approaches me and hugs me because we both have eyes full of tears.

When she hugged me I felt like I had known her forever, not that I met her a couple of hours ago, but now I'm sure we'll get along great and be very close.

I shared my story with her because she deserved to know her, and I wanted to give her a sense of security as well as to let her know that she is not alone and that I fully understand her.

...................................................

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, so we decided to go to dinner. We are so tired that we don't even try to find a certain place to eat, but we moved to the first pizzeria we came across. We return to the dormitory through the campus around ten o'clock in the evening. laughing at the nonsense we did when we were little.

-''Hey LJ who is this guy?''

She points to Peter's picture, I just wanted to talk to her when my phone rang.

-''Sorry, I'll tell you later, I have to answer.''

-''I take your word for it, I'm going to say hi to a friend, and when I come back I want to hear what you have to say to me!''

I just smiled at her and she leaves the room.

A name appears on my screen that I have been eagerly waiting for all day.

My Peter.

I answer the phone, ''Hey Covey'', and my heart starts pounding when I hear his voice, like I'm hearing him say my name for the first time!

-''Hello Peter''

-''So I want to hear your impressions, what is your roommate, room, campus...''

We talked for a long time, his roommate is, as the male version of me says, and his name is Daniel.

I tell him about Maya and our afternoon....

-''Covey I'm so glad you have someone like her for your roommate, sounds like you're the perfect combination!''

My smile got even bigger at that moment because I know he's glad for me,

Lara Jean what the hell did you expect of course he's glad for.

"Covey, you know I could talk to you forever, but we have to get up early tomorrow because we're having a hard day."

-''Yes I know, a long and hard day...''

- ''Don't forget what I'm about to tell you, okay?''

- ''Yes, what is it?''

-'' I love you Lara Jean!''

I really wish he was here now and I could hug him, but unfortunately he isn't so I have to be happy with this too.

- ''I love you too Peter, don't forget!''

-'' Never, rest assured, good night Covey, good luck tomorrow.''

-''Good night Peter...''

..............................................

Not long after, Maya enters a room with a lot of popcorn, settles on the bed next to me and waits for me to tell her the story behind the picture of my beautiful Peter Kavinsky!
