I just love the song " One Last Time" by Ariana Grande.

It's not because it defines my personality but because I feel it's words; the desperation to hold her love for one last time after losing him as a consequence of her own mistakes.

So, whenever I have time, I plug my earphones into my ears and hear the song. It always soothes me.

But little did I know, I won't ever want to hear the song again after what was going to happen to me.......................

" Aurora? Your friend is here! "
My Mom screams from downstairs.

" Coming, Mom! Just a minute!"
I shout back.

I look at my backpack for the last time to check if I have taken everything.

" Ready to go! "
I mutter happily and run out of my room.

I go to the kitchen and kiss my Mom.

" Bye, Mom! "
I hug her.

" Bye, dear! Take care! "
She hugs me back.

I smile and leave.

" Sorry to keep you waiting, Katie! "
I shoot an apologetic smile to my cute best friend.

" Whatever! Come fast now! We will be late! "
She fakes an angry look and pulls me with her.

I smile at her antics. I love her a lot!

I am kind of a twenty years old lonely and shy nerd.

Still, I have friends who love me and support me all the time.

I have lovely parents and siblings to take care of me when I am not okay.
So, I am a happy soul.

I have a picnic with my friends today. Normally, I don't roam a lot with people.
I am awkward as hell around them.

But I wanted a change in me.
I want to feel free and be more expressive around my friends and others.
I want to learn and gain experiences too; from every little thing.

Sooooooo, I am very excited!

" Today was fun! I enjoyed it a lot! "
I think happily and get down from the bus.

I plug my earphones into my ears and play my favorite song "One Last Time".

I smile unknowingly, hearing the familiar tunes and lyrics.

The bus driver became sick suddenly. So, we had to wait patiently until he felt good. It took a lot of time.
By the time we reached the stop, it was night already.

I start walking alone for my home from the bus stop.
Catie went to her cousin's house in midway. So, I have to walk alone.

We visited a lot of places and ate a lot of things. It felt good.

" You should do it more often, Aurora Smith!"
I say to myself and make an internal note to make the lists of places I want to go to.

" So one last time
I need to be the one to take you home
One more time
I promise after that, I will let you go... "
I start humming the lyrics and look at the sky for a second.
