Boulevard Entailing Escapades

Chapter-8.

I stepped into the room; the room which is going to change my life, the room which will be my only home, which does not have any of my memories.

The room was painted with a cool shade of red on the roof and one of the walls. Well, I call that shade as 'a darker shade of bright light red'. The rest of the three walls were painted white. There was a small television on the red wall. Milky coloured tiles with some light brown lines on it. Bunk bed; one for me and the other one for Catherine. It was painted in a darker shade of brown, which looked like black. A massive study table attached to the wall at the left of beds. The other wall had a wide window, big enough for a person to sneak out at night.

My mom and dad were running their eyes through the walls of the room. My mom had a small smile and a diamond, totally on the verge of rolling off her eyes. My dad was looking sad. But at the same time, he was happy. Soon I was going to get independent and learn a lot from the new surroundings.

I hugged mom and dad together and in a low voice I whispered, "I'll miss you both very badly." To which my mom and dad replied, "We'll miss you too, darling. Take care of yourself."

I saw Jake looking out at the garden which was in the middle of the dorm circle, through the door.

I went to Jake and turned him around. He was facing me, now. I looked straight into his eyes. He was crying. I don't know why was he crying, because we have always been against each other. Then why was he crying!

"Even though you hate me a lot, still I can assure you that I'll take care of your mom and dad. I'll miss you so much, May!" Jake said, as a tear rolled off his eyes. He made me cry, too.

I wiped my tears and looked at him. "That's alright. But, are you going to cry? People arrange parties when they get rid of the person they hate, but you are crying. Why Jake?" It was my way of making him laugh, and it worked. This comment of mine made mom, dad and Jake laugh.

"Oh, shut up! I don't cr—" Even before he could complete his sentence, he broke out into more tears and hugged me. I hugged him back.

"Okay, I think we should leave. Parents aren't supposed to be here for more than ten minutes." My dad said reluctantly. But I knew, this was dad's way of hiding his tears.

"Oh, yes. We should leave. Goodbye, sweetie! We'll miss you." Mom said, wiping out her tears and placing a warm kiss on my forehead.

"Goodbye, May. I love you! And remember, you are my princess. Don't be afraid. My little lioness!" My dad said, looking straight into my eyes. I could see the pain in his eyes. But sure, his words gave me a lot of strength.

"See you soon, enemy." Jake said with a massive smile.

I hugged them once again and then they left. I waved them a goodbye as they were making their way towards the car.

I saw them leave the dorm circle and hence, that building. They were gone.

"So, here you go, May Miller. You are totally alone. All the best!" I said to myself.

My one hand was still in my boyfriend jeans' pocket while I shut the door close.
