Falling In Love With Era FORTY TWO
When I get home from the grocery store, there's a white envelope sitting on my doormat. On the back of it Emma's name is written on right bottom part. I feel a sudden excitement what's inside it. I never heard of her ever since that morning. I know I'm supposed to be mad at her but I can't stop thinking about her these days that passed. I unlock the front door. Sit the bags on the counter and go to my room so I can focus on reading it alone. My bed isn't made it so that's not interesting really. If she's going to tell me to come with her in LA, I would never hesitate. I would do it. If she will say she doesn't love Mark anymore, that will be the time I will tell her that I can forgive and start over again. No matter what, I'm just gonna love the what I do now. A text enters into my notification, distracting me for a second. It's Era. I grab my phone and see what she says : Sophie will be here in an hour. Come straight here if you get home. :)I type fast and reply: at home, be there
Falling In Love With Era FORTY THREE
I remember when I turned sixteen, with everyone gathered in the living room. When I say everyone, what I mean is my family and Simon's family. Mrs. Wellis, Kris, Simon's mother, was holding a pink cake while my mother was lifting the banner that says Happy Sweat 16.With a funny bold text in it, I couldn't stop laughing because of 'sweat' word instead of 'sweet'. Anyways, I enjoyed that day. Well almost not. My father went home with a friend. Kim wasn't there because she has date that time. But Simon was totally there. He was never absent in my special day. The thing is that day, I wish he didn't show up because my father' s friend brought his pretty daughter. She was wearing a black skirt. Her hair was in a high ponytails. Her blue denim jacket was matching with her eyes. In short, she was pretty. Pretties than I ever could. While she was all that, I was wearing a dress with its sleeves kept falling to my shoulders because it didn't fit me. Simon had her his eyes on her the entire ti
Falling In Love With Era FORTY FOUR
The moment I hold her hand I never want to let it go. Even how rough the road may seem, her laugh is a sound of bright days. Her eyes shines even in the dark and it's addicting. I was guilty not wanting to be with Era for tonight. I just want to know Anne a little bit. Maybe that sounds selfish but it's how I feel. If it doesn't click then I won't go further. She seems nice. She's kind in her words like they're precious pearls. “Do you want some ice cream?” I ask after when we finally find a bench near the shore. I figure she's not the kind of girl who would for wild rides like this. But she rode the horse with me. What I like about her so far is that she just keeps a smile on and laughs at my silly jokes. I could see Emma on her. A prt of her in Anne. “I don't really like ice cream though. But I would like some popcorn and soda.” She says, patting the seat before she sits on it. When I come back with her orders, a tall guy is talking to her. His face is not familiar at all. He h

The moment my alarm turns off, I get up fast on my bed and fix it. This morning should be possible only for Era. I'm planning on taking Anne around the town in the afternoon but this morning should be slotted only for her and us. I finished the painting almost 4 in the morning. There were a lot of pauses because I have to think what should be the color of the leaves. Era loves sage green colors. I saw that she changed their living room pain into it. Why do I already feel like I missed her so much now? I place the canvas into a huge paper bag, thankfully it fits right in. I head out of the house and run across the yard. When I reach to the front porch, her father is yanking off a nail with a hammer. It feels like I never seen him around the past days or even week now. I wave a hand. He eyes me with a crumpled face. But it's not because he's mad or something. He's just concentrating on what's he's doing. Then he smiles a little like he's happy seeing me. "Oh, hey there, kid.” He re
Falling In Love With Era FORTY SIX
I do still think of him. And I wonder if he's reading that letter already. I wonder what he feels after. Did he laugh? Did he cry? Was he confused? My heart aches every time I try to remember the goodbye in those words. It was meant to happen. Me leaving and him just... I don't know what to say. This wasn't supposed to hurt like I hope it would. But my heart knows what it knows. Sometimes I wish I never came back. I wish I stayed next to Sophie. But being away from Simon makes my heart glad somehow knowing I won't be hurt anymore seeing him loving someone else. Anne was right. I have more opportunities here. But it's not the main reason why I came back. I'm here because I have no choice. My father hates me for keeping my pregnancy on my own. The only reason why I hid it because I don't want to be a burden or may I don't want him to judge me or be ashamed of me. So there's not only one reason. There are more to say. But back to it, he wasn't willing to listen to my explanation. He
Falling In Love With Era FORTY SEVEN
Brad has called last night. I wasn't sure if it was right that this is what I am giving him. I mean he could vanish any time, there's a chance of that because that's how I am predicting things. Brad was a kind of person that nobody reads so I know that I better get myself ready if any time he would get into the plan of vanishing just in case. It's been week since I was back into this city that I used to dream about. I had so many plans before like meeting new people, getting own place, have my job stable, you know also visiting place. But over time, they were slowly fading away like an ash to the sky and then gone. When I had Sophie, those dreams became a blurry vision. I have no idea when will they be clear again. Of course, Anne and I talked again. We made up just because we couldn't help it. We have a short conversation about my plans and I was glad she supports me with it. Although, we'reokay now. I can't help but feel still guilty over the things I said to her. I know a part o
Falling In Love With Era FORTY EIGHT
I've been pacing through the floor for the last ten minutes. Brad is on his way. Brad is finally coming over. I called this morning to ask him if he wants to come with me coming home for today. I could hear the shock in his voice. I knew it is an abrupt invitation. I though that maybe it would be better if he's there when I tell my father that I'll be staying in New York for good. I mean it is something I was thinking the moment I woke up this 4 in the morning. I decided if dad would see Brad, he would be convinced enough that my reason is for Sophie to have a family. Holy Cross is one of the best calming places I have ever known. I was born here but that's not the reason. I want my daughter to be happy. It would be best if Brad is part of it. Honestly, I am never ready not sure of this decision. But when will I be? Only telling my father would give me a peace in mind only if we make up and just be free from hate and disappointed. This is my chance of telling him my side. I'm kind
Falling In Love With Era FORTY NINE
The moment Brad turns to my main street, my heart skips a beat. There's always something about this street that makes my heart goes that way. Something something about this street that reminds me so much about the entirety of my life. Like the trees next to it, the side walk. The matching cream color of the houses. The way the wind makes almost every little tiny objects move in the middle of a hot afternoon in Holy Cross Village. That name sounds childhood to me. A childhood that was long go forgotten.It's past afternoon, now. Brad and I have been listening to the radio for the last two hours. After that crying and feeling it all about his past, I just then felt steady and fairly positive about this life of mine. Life isn't always going to be that excellent and, all the time, happy. I know that. But this moment with my daughter and Brad marks a good memory somehow. There's always going to be failures and grieves that will be part of life and we should take part of it.
