I Guess You Can Call These...

I lied on my bed and thought about today’s events.
Arturo and I had the best time ever.
We sent the whole day together. Just the two of us.
I smiled replayed everything in my head.
I was in love with him.
That night I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
The next morning, I joined my mom at the dinning room table for breakfast.
My phone vibrated on the table and I picked it up.
A message from Arturo. I grinned like a five year old and opened it.
‘Korelle, I’m sorry to say that we have to break up. My dad thinks we’re getting to serious. So, this is good bye.’
I re read the message over and over again and prayed that this was a bad dream a very sick bad dream.
I closed my eyes and opened them to the screen with the horrid message.
This had to be a joke.
Right?
I closed my phone and opened the message.
It was still there.
I felt my throat tighten up and my eyes fill with tears.
It had to be a joke. I just had to be.
My mom took my hand and squeezed it. “What’s wrong?” she asked.
“Arturo,” I whispered.
She took my phone and read the text.
My mom sighed and gave me a hug and told me everything was going to be okay.

(A week later)

It really was over.
Arturo broke up with me.
Seeing his face everyday isn’t easy.
Seeing him flirt with other girls is even harder.
I just keep hoping that he will come back to me.
We belong together.

(Years Later)

I was back at home decorating the Christmas tree with my mom.
I was home for Christmas this year.
It was good to be back.
I wasn’t over Arturo yet. The thought of him brings me to tears sometimes.
“Korelle, there’s someone at the door,” my mom said with a grin.
I hurried to the door and there he was.
The love of my life.
Arturo.
I stared at him in shock.
“What?” was all I could say.
“Hi,” he smiled.
“Hi,” I repeated.
“I’m sorry, about what happen years ago. I was stupid to listen to my dad I guess. I miss you Korelle and I love you. Do you want to give us another try?” he asked.
“Of course,” I grinned. “We belong together,”
Arturo smiled and gave me a big warm hug.
Then kissed me, right underneath the mistletoe.
