I blinked as I came back to the
present: 15th of November. I relaxed my tense shoulders against the tree trunk
and I patted Dash’s head. I took a deep breath to erase the picture on my mind.
It’s hard to forget someone who gave
you so much to remember. But as I looked up to the perfect blue sky and at my
anklet I can’t help but smile.
He would be turning 20 now, I realized.
I regret nothing – not a single bullet shot, not a single tear that fell and
even the scarring words. It was all worth it to last a lifetime. Even the pain.
Xavia and my family helped me a lot and my grandfather had been a blessing. But
sometimes, an uncontrollable feeling of sadness grips me and I could do nothing
but succumb to it. Surrender to it.
I’m still in love with him, you see. I
really don’t think I can have anyone else as I remembered lighting snow globes,
Bella Notté, Monopoly cookies and all those kisses in between. They
say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I have a different view on that. It
makes you better. It just has to. My intuition skills never left me, by the
way. And I can feel it now – I have a feeling that when my time comes, Sky and
I will have each other again. Longer this time.
