Our Future

39

-2 weeks later-

I sit in the living room of Senshi's apartment- well my apartment- and sip on some hot Choco while reading a book on 'The Art of Creating and Repairing Circuits'. I applied for the job as a Technological Scientist Assistant and I got it. It wasn't as hectic as I thought it would be, like dumping all their work on me. The Technological Scientist is really nice, he doesn't ever lose patience with anyone and I've never heard him raise his voice.

It was actually kind of fun, sometimes he would bring his daughter and I'd have to babysit her. You might say it's not my job but, I really didn't mind. Belle decided to take a year off to actually decide what she wanted to do. The guys have started their lives as normal people, the government had given them a special private than you ceremony. The government also decided to give me all of Mr. Dallas wealth, because it was supposed to go to Senshi but since he's gone and I'm pregnant for him, the money would go for his child.

Me, not being the greedy person I am, I evenly split the money up between me and the guys as carrying his child prevented me from giving them all of it. (Tbh idk how this works so lets pretend thats how it goes oki?) I sigh and rest my book down, massaging my temples as I felt a migraine forming. I check my phone for any messages and look at my lock screen, a faint smile ghosted my lips. I was a picture of Senshi and I on our first date when he took me to Dallas Headquarters, the first time I met Mr. Dallas in person.

My stomach growled, I gently placed my hand on it and rubbed it "alright baby, you're hungry again hmm? Let's get some food." I smiled at the thought, me and Senshi's child. Coping with his loss was hard and I still haven't gotten over it yet and I don't think I will. I walk into the kitchen and opened the fridge, taking out a fruit bowl and sat at the kitchen island and opened the plastic container and ate. Silence, silence floated in the air like fog, it was just me; sometimes the guys visit me but its weird because it's usually Senshi who does everything; we're all completely lost without him.

Suddenly, the ring tone of my phone blasted through the apartment and I scrambled to answer it "Hello?"

"Anela hey! It's Belle!"

A wide grin stretched on my face "Hey Belle, what's up?"

"today marks two official weeks since...you know"

I looked at my calendar and she was right, we made two, whole, weeks. "Yeah it is, why the reminder?"

"well the guys and I planned on going to visit his grave...do you want to come?"

It's not like I had anything else to do so I shrugged, "Sure why not. I'll be there in ten."

"Okay, see ya then! Bye"

And she ended the call. I sighed and stared at my lock screen "I'm coming to see you again, you better be there to welcome your guests Mister." His smiling face just stared right back at me and I walked into my room to get ready. I took out one of his dark red hoodies and a pair of yoga pants; finishing off the look with my read trainers. I tied my hair in a messy bun and grabbed my phone, wallet and keys. I hopped into Senshi's white Audi and started it before driving out of the gated community.

Last week, Belle convinced me to get my drivers license so I could drive around on my own; way more convenient than walking or talking a cab. So since I use this car, I don't really have to move into the city like I planned, besides, Senshi's apartment held too many memories for me to just sell it. I drove on the outskirts of the city to the cemetery. I pulled into a parking spot and hopped out, slowly walking into the cemetery. As I make my way to the grave, I see six figures waiting for me; a wide grin spread on my face.

"Hey guys!" I chirped, "Anela!" Kai yelled as he ran and hugged me. He's like a little kid I swear- "Hey Annie." Belle smiled and gestured at his tome stone "We're all together again, like old times right?" We all laughed and Alejandro wrapped his arm around Belle's shoulder "So how is everyone? We haven't been meeting up like before." Nico rolled his eyes as he kicked a pebble on the floor "Well we aren't in University anymore Martinez, now that we are living our real life out there we need to work to survive now...except Kai, he's still in high school."

"Hey I'm in my Senior year now! I'm not that young." Kai protested but we all laughed. We all just chatted and joked around. It felt good to be all together again, I just missed Senshi; I think we all did. The gathering just...didn't feel complete. A few hours later, we all left; just Belle and I remained. "Hey Ann, what are you doing later? Can I come over?" I leaned on my car and thought, it would be nice to have Belle back again but, I really want to go visit Senshi's favourite place. I sigh "Sorry Belle. I'm heading a little way out of the city tonight, just to get some fresh air then head back; I have work tomorrow too."

Her shoulders slumped and she forced a smile "I-it's okay. Maybe another time, I know this must have been hard on you." Guilt flooded my mind and I put my hand on her shoulder "Wait- how about next weekend? You can come over and we can do all those fun stuff we used to." Her expression brightened and she squealed "Yayy! Omg, I can't wait." I smiled, its been a long time since me and Belle had hung out so, why not?

I entered my car after saying goodbye and began driving. I turn the wheel as the car moves down the familiar road. Finally, I arrive at my destination and hop out; locking the doors in the process. I stuff the keys in my pockets and sit cross-legged on the sandy floor. The sun had just set and the stars shone like fireflies in the dark-blanketed sky. The city skyline looked breathe taking as usual and a chilling wind ruffled my hair, making me pull my hoodie tighter around me "Hey Senshi! We visited your grave today; Belle and the guys yeah. I know you wouldn't rest peacefully in that graveyard, I know you're somewhere around here. Just like old time you know, laughing and goofing about...it wasn't complete though, you weren't there." my voice becoming softer by the second, tears welled in my eyes and I sniffled.

"I miss you, we all do. Why didn't just let him at me or just let one of the guys shoot him? None of us would have been suffering right now. Did I mention I'm pregnant? Yeah, I'm surprised to but, this time I have part of you to stay with me; to stop me from sulking- you know? Being a single parent would be hard but I'll take it head on Senshi, for you, for me and for the little one. I love you, I hope you never forget that. I'll see you some other time, bye." I got up and dusted my pants and wiped my wet cheeks. This was the one of the first places Senshi took me when we went on our first date, I will never forget it. I take a look around and head back to the car, driving away to the city back home.
