My life is useless.

People hate me.

They think of me as a nuisance.

I am alone.

Well, at least that’s what I thought.

I feel relaxed as the smooth wind kisses my skin.I sit down by the bench enjoying the view and let my thoughts continue.

That girl really changed me.

I still remember her words that stab me all the way through.

*slap*

“Damn it Elina, I’ve had enough of your unmotivated words. You sound like a total emo. Girl, I know you suffer a lot, well fudge there are people worse than you. Have you ever heard about DISABLED PEOPLE??? THEY HAVE PHYSICAL PROBLEMS OR PROBABLY MENTAL PROBLEMS WHICH CAUSE SOME OF THEIR PARENTS TO ABANDON THEM AND THEY HAVE TO STAY IN AN ORPHAN. But you???? Girl, you clearly don’t have any disabilities YET YOU KEEP COMPLAINING ABOUT LIFE. Instead of facing it, you ran away. I call that COWARD.”

Those words really stabbed me. That time, I was furious.

“WELL DUDE, YOU DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND ME. DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS HEARING A FIGHT DOWNSTAIRS AT YOUR HOUSE EVERY NIGHT? HOW THEY KEEP SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER? THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW MY LITTLE BROTHER CAN HEAR ALL OF THAT? He is so little… yet… yet….”

I started crying real hard. Real hard.

Then her face softened and hugged me.

A tear falls down from my eye as I remember that warm, sincere hug that she gave me. Most of all, her words…

“Eli, I understand how you feel. I knew your family is a mess and how your brother heard it all. I knew that every night, you have to protect him away from them, I knew all that. And I also knew that you are stronger than this. Life brings us down sometimes, but it’s our choice whether to get back up or not. But I always know that my Eli can pass this one.”

“The past Elina is gone. You can’t find her.”

“No, I’m sure she is somewhere inside you. Mark my word, I’m going to find it. Because I will never EVER give up on you.”

That really touched me.

Since that time, we became closer than ever and depend on each other. I thought that we will always be together despite all difficulties and challenges. That’s what I thought. Again.

Until I found that letter.

It said:

Dear Elina,

Thank you for companying me and being my best friend. Thank you for always helping me in all my problems.

But sadly, I have to go. I have some business need to be done.

Remember that you need to live this life on your own. Depending on others are only a little part of it.

Remember that when life brings you down, it’s your choice to get back up or not.

And always remember that I’m always in your heart.

I love you, bestie <3

Tears are running down from my eyes as I remember that bitter memory.

Gosh, I hate her so much. She left me without any words. She just left me all by myself with a useless letter. Ugh. Why people I love keep going away?

Now it has been 3 years since the incident. I finally moved on and thank God I didn’t get into a wrong environment nor psychologically. Thanks to that letter.

Oh my gosh, Elina stop doing flashbacks or you’re going to cry again.

I’m going to get a coffee now. It has been a long time since I drink those.

As I walk into Starbucks, I order my usual, simple ice cappuccino <333, sit and wait. I don’t have to wait long, thank goodness. I exit Starbucks because I want to enjoy my dearest cappuccino outside, near the cliff. I like cliffs, for no reason. Sadly, my cappuccino slips out of my hand because of some jerk with a hat who bump me. Ugh, RIP cappuccino. That jerk must buy me a new one.

“Yah! Jerk, what have you done to my dearest cappuccino? Don’t you have eyes?”

“Aishh, I’m sorry okay?? Don’t worry I’m going to buy a new one” says the jerk. The jerk lifts up her head to meet my eyes, WAIT I KNOW THAT EYES. I lift her cap and…

Yep. It’s her. That jerk who left me alone. So I do what I’ve been meaning to do.

I hug her.

SHERRY’S POV:

Wait is that Eli? Those eyes…

*hug*

It’s her… It’s her… I miss her so much… Tears fall down continuously. I hug her back tightly.

“Finally… I missed you” she says.

I smile. “Miss you too, Eli. C’mon, we have a lot to talk about.”

-THE END-
