*THREE YEARS LATER*
ANNA LEIGH’S POV
“3, 2, say cheese graduates!” Stacy said holding the camera.
“Cheese!!” The graduates threw their graduation caps in the air. Stacy took their pictures and they rejoiced.
I’m supposed to be one of them. It’s not like I didn’t graduate. I did graduate from high school, 3 years ago, right after the terrible thing that happened to me.
My Abuela understood that I couldn’t face the school or work or anything else, so I wrote some exams and got into Colombia’s college here in New York City.
I chosed Colombia
I graduated this year from 3 years bachelor’s degree in Arts. Good thing I’m very smart to be able to achieve this things quickly. I’m not bragging though.
“Another pic! Another pic!” Stacy shouted.
“Ugggh!” They all groaned as they gathered again and Stacy took a picture from her phone.
I noticed people starring at me.
🚹 Isn’t that AnnaLeigh? The smartest girl who left our school 3 years ago?
🚺 I heard she got an abortion right after her ex boyfriend dumped her
🚹 I heard they got wedded right in front of her.
🚺 I heard she wanted to destroy our old schoolmates wedding.
I rolled my eyes, ignoring the passerbys. I only came back because of… I just want to forget that guy that’s why I left school and everything except my family but it’s really hard. I even kept dreaming about him.
“Thank you!” She said and the graduates left except my boyfriend.
“Leigh! Come take a pic with your boyfriend!” Stacy said.
I giggled as I went to Chris, he wrapped his arm around my waist with his graduation gown and we kissed each other’s lips.
Light flashes when Stacy took a pic of us and pouted “Awww, so sweet.”
We did other couple poses as Stacy snaps the pictures.
Yeah, I know y’all should be mad that I’m now dating Chris after the guy betrayed me, I don’t want to remember his name or anything about him.
The reason I’m dating Chris now us because he has been begging me for a year, sending me flowers and chocolates. I was rejecting it at first. His mom also convinced me to date him promising he had changed. Everything has been convincing me to date him but I kept refusing until one day, on Valentine’s day…
*Flashback*
I was leaving the school building, walking alone because I have no friends. I don’t trust anyone again.
A guy gave me a rose flower and left, which made me confused, another guy gave me another rose flower, another one, and another one, and another one.
I stood, feeling puzzled “What’s…going on?”
Even people were starring at me.
“Hi.” Chris approached me in red and white suit, holding a bouquet of hibiscus flowers and a box of chocolates.
Everyone started wooing and clapping as he knelt in front of me grinning.
“Will be my val forever?” He asked as everyone awed.
I grind my teeth as I collected the bouquet and threw it on his face and everyone gasped.
“What did I tell you about coming to my school and embarrassing me?” I yelled “I’ve told you already, I don’t want you, stay away from me!!”
I walked off angrily, leaving him devastated.
I felt he’s following me as I left the school gate.
“AnnaLeigh!” He called.
“It’s Leigh!!” I yelled back, crossing the road.
“I’m sorry, just listen to me!” He said still following me.
I rolled my eyes, crossing the road “Go away!”
*horn!* I heard an upcoming car “Argh!” Chris screamed as the car ran over him and he collapsed on the ground.
“Chris!!” I yelled as I ran and knelt I’m front of him, trying to wake him “Chris, please wake up. I’m sorry!”
—
Ambulance took him to the hospital, he went inside coma. I couldn’t stop blaming myself for the cause of his state.
After three weeks, he finally regained consciousness.
That day, I went entered the ward room and sat beside his bed, holding his hand “I’m glad you’re alive, I’m really sorry.” I wept.
He smiled, holding my hand tightly “It’s okay. Don’t blame yourself. Where’s mom?”
“She’s on her way to the hospital.” I sobbed.
I gulped, feeling like I’ll regret what I’ll say “I love you.”
He frowned in confusion “What?”
“I said I love you, I still love you, I just wanted you to suffer like I did when you didn’t notice me, but I went to far.” I muttered.
He smirked “Prove it.”
I smiled as I kissed his lips, the monitor started beeping faster, due to his heart pressure.
I shifted away “Sorry, sorry, sorry.”
He took a deep breath with a grin as his heart beat went back to normal “I’m okay, in fact, I’m way better.”
I giggled as I held his hands tightly. I need to move on anyways.
*Flashback Ends*
Chris and I have been together for like a year now.
After the graduation ceremony, we headed to his house for graduation dinner. My Abuela and siblings were there, aunt Milly, Chris, all of us at the dinner table, eating his favourite dish, meatball spaghetti and ice cream cake as dessert with apple smoothie.
I noticed Abuela and Aunt Milly signalling each other, eye to eye.
“What’s going on?” I scoffed.
“Okay guys, Abuela Frida and I have a surprise for this year graduated couple.” Aunt Milly, shimmed her shoulders.
“Really?”
“Come on.”
“Tell us.” All of us said, anticipating.
“Next week, you two are moving to…” Abuela grinned happily.
“Santa Marta!” Aunt Milly shouted.
“What?!” Chris and I exclaimed excitedly.
“Oh my God!”
“That’s awesome!” My siblings cheered.
My dream place!
“Like in Colombia?” I asked, standing up.
“Yeah, we decided Chris should start his college over there and you two will start afresh together.” Abuela explained.
I laughed happily. I’ve always dreamt of going there, I never thought I’d be living there.
“Here’s your passports and tickets. Pack your things and live a happy live.” Aunt Milly gave us, each of our passports.
“Oh my God!” I gasped, feeling so excited “Thank you so much.” I hugged both of them.
“You’re welcome.” Aunt Milly replied.
“Anything for my mija.” Abuela added.
I disengaged “So how did you get this things?” I asked.
“Let’s just say it’s from someone we know.” Aunt Milly smirked.
I grinned happily at my new passport. I’m going to be a citizen of Santa Marta.
*A Week Later*
★Airport★
Chris and I have paid our tickets, we’ve been checked in, fill some forms and done other things are we’re ready enter the plane.
We started giving each other hugs and saying our goodbyes.
Chris is busy saying farewell to his mom.
I burst into tears as my siblings are crying too, hugging each other.
“We’ll miss you so much, big sis.” Pammy cried.
“Me too.” I replied.
“I can’t believe you’re leaving us.” Julie sniffed.
“I know.” I pouted.
“Yeah, who’s going to watch The Last Airbender with us?” Carlitos added.
“We’ll watch it together when you visit us at Colombia.”
“Really?” Lucy asked.
I nodded.
“Mi Bebe.” Abuela hugged me tightly “Be careful, live happily not for others but for yourself, don’t stress too much and be hard working.”
I nodded, heeding to her advice “And let me tell you something.”
I moved my ears closer to her mouth “When you see her with a white wings tattoo, tell her that mama Frida said hi.”
I frowned confusedly at her and she smiled. That’s weird.
‘The plane will take off in 5 minutes, so sit back and be prepared.’ The pilot said from the plane.
“Go, go, go. You two can’t miss your flight.” Aunt Milly said as we ran to the entrance.
We turned and waved out familia one last goodbye as we entered the plane.
We sat down together, the flight attendants helped and directed us when needed, we buckled our seatbelts.
I took a deep breath, feeling anxious and excited.
Chris held my hand and smiled “I’m feeling exactly what you’re feeling but you need to calm down.”
I nodded with a smile. He’s so cute sometimes.
TBC…
