My Story | Lauren Cimorelli |

Chapter 10 |it's all my fault|

NO ONE POV.

All 5 sisters go and sit in the ceremony room waiting for their little sister to be called.
A distant voice says.
Lauren Christina Cimorelli, and in that moment Lauren takes the stage, with the tunic and black hat, typical of those who graduate.
At that moment the sisters burst into applause and when Lauren looks at them she sees all the satisfaction possible in their eyes.
After the end of the awards ceremony all 6 meet.
Christina and Lisa didn't wait a second to throw themselves into their little sister's arms, then it was the twins' turn and finally Amy.
With Amy the situation was very different than the others, they were facing each other looking at each other as if they were afraid to take the first step, when Amy, suddenly, says,
- Or to hell, and he moves towards Lauren who was slowly backing away.
Christina was about to snap between Lauren and Amy but Lisa stops her with an arm saying, - wait.
Amy walks up to Lauren and hugs her in a hug and apologizes for everything he's done to her.
After this moment all the girls get in the car to go home and finally continue a normal life, all together and without more misfortunes.

POV CHRISSTINA

During the journey there was a dead silence in the car, but it was not one of those embarrassing silences, this was a silence that brought with it 'happiness' and tranquility'.
I look in the mirror and see Lauren and Lisa sitting behind me embraced.
Lauren has her head on Lisa's shoulder while she strokes her hair with one hand and the other is united with Lauren's, they have all 2 eyes closed, as if they were sleeping and I can say to see them all 2 again in peace  , now I can't wait to be able to spend time with my little sister, cuddle and hug her, having her all to myself.
Arriving home, and as it was almost evening we decided to have a little party to welcome Lauren back.
While we were cooking the doorbell rings, I go to open it and it's Nick, my beloved Nick, who gives me a kiss and we head to the kitchen where as soon as Lauren sees him, she jumps on him and hugs for several minutes
Nothing would make me happier than this.
The others and I finish making dinner while Lauren and Nick chat on the couch, suddenly the doorbell rings and I tell Lauren to go open the door.
After less than 3 seconds we hear 2 voices screaming and making everyone worry, in fact we run to the door where we see Lauren on the ground with Rachel on top of them laughing and crying, letting out all those emotions they had kept hidden so as not to feel too sick of nostalgia.
After the tear-jerking moment we all 8 sat at the table to have dinner, during dinner everything seemed normal as if nothing had happened, we laughed, joked and above all it was fine.
While we were eating the dessert, or ice cream, Nick gets up, comes near me, takes me by the hand making me get up and in that moment it happened.
He knelt down, took a burgundy box from his pocket, my heart started beating more and more, he opened the box showing me a wonderful ring, now I have the heart that would like to come out of my chest, he takes a deep breath and  He says.
Christina Lynne Cimorelli, do you want to be my wife?
The only thing I managed to say was YES, and I jumped into his arms with my face covered in tears as my sisters clapped.
It's late at night, Nick just left and the girls are going to bed, I think I've never been this happy before, but what is happiness really?
We all have happiness, they gave it as a gift when we were little, they gave it to us as a gift, and it is such a beautiful gift that we have hidden it  like dogs on the bone, and many of us do it so well that we don't remember where they put it.  but there it is, just look in all the closets, shelves and compartments of your soul.
Throw everything away, the drawers, the bedside tables that you have inside, you will see that it will come out.
Even if she forgets about us, we must not forget her, until the last day of our life.
With this thought I go upstairs, go into Lauren's room and see her about to go to bed, without saying anything I take her by the hand and take her to my room, where we lie down together in my bed and fall asleep embraced.
Before falling asleep I hear Lauren's words.
I really missed you Chrissy.
