Chapter nineteen

First of all, I have written a note including sending out an explanation behind the reason why I will not be able to attend university for seven days a week ever leaving out a couple of detail of the real situation here to prevent anyone else from worrying about us and keep them updated on our movement of course, but it for just in case anything else does happen that could potentially put us in danger of being held in hostage or worse than that, to be honest, I don't even know what to expect from this week.

Secondly, I think it would be nice to have some quality time with him alone without any problems or distractions from other people because I missed out on a huge amount of time being in New Zealand before and after my accident that I was still trying to recover from these scars on my leg and anyway, so I figured that I would get a tattoo this morning with my friends then spent the rest of the week is with him.

"Girls, I am going to be doing the rest of my classes online because it will be easier for me to take a break from all stress of full-on studying," I said to my friends.

They deserve to know what was going on in both of our lives but it wasn't my story to tell them what was going to be happening this week even if I promise him I would keep it a secret from the rest of our friends and family members who cares about us yet another example of how this person was already ruining our lives.

No matter what I will be there for him as everything seems like it was going to fall apart maybe more I know would put me in danger of losing everyone else who I care about in a matter of days, it would take to make or break us way past the breaking point of no return also I don't break my promises to anyone else who I truly care about because he needed me at this moment to be there for him in this horrible situation which wasn't his fault in the first place.

"Okay, but please don't hesitate to ask or contact one of us if you need anything," said Penelope.

To me, it feels like more than a fake relationship between the two of us who always have each other backs no matter what comes next even though a huge part of me is starting to wonder maybe if life was so much simpler than this, therefore, we wouldn't have a problem with life anything compared to the feeling of being in his as well as nothing come less complicated in life. We all have to work to get what we want to have in life since everything has to be earned which means everything comes at a certain price or consequences.

Penny and the other girls hug me whilst giving me an encouraging prep talk about how I should stay strong in current problems I was facing and even though we are not blood-related we will always be family because they are like sisters to me and Lola who are so grateful for having them in our lives. We appreciate each other, moreover, we parted ways as they went to their classes whereas I went to see him at his apartment to start our daily basis list of activities that were on today's agenda for us to do.

"Have you been hiding in your apartment all day long?" I asked him, curiously looking around his apartment spotted a picture frame of us back when we were young.

The three of us were in the picture on his living room table of when we went somewhere that looks like the woods or in the wilderness areas of some sort of Greenland area sitting on a bench posing for the camera and then I moved on to see a picture of the three of us are all dressed up in dresses and suits. In addition to this, he was standing next to me on the day of the event when the picture was taken by our parents I guess....

I heard rustling from right behind me to not only notice how closely he was standing with his torso facing me as his breath lightly lingered next to my ears after he moved my hair to the right of my neck, furthermore, I also couldn't help but my mind starts to wonder how much he affects me when I staying halted in my spot not quite sure what was going on with us at this moment.

He was standing dangerously close to me and whispered into my ears "I am not hiding in my apartment for your information but I was waiting for you to get here, my angel".

Slowly turned around to see him looking at the same picture I was looking at a minute ago with a happy half-smile on his face recognising the picture then he looks up at me into my eyes during carefully taking out another similar picture frame from his draw to give it to me suggest that I should carefully remove the picture to turn it around with a secret code written on the back of it and key to a lock of some sort of thing.

Although I wasn't sure what used the key was for or perhaps the possibility of any kind of important information it holds within the key as it was very difficult to guess what it was necessarily used for to make a well accurate guess and I think I will have to trust him with this one too, just like I have always trust in him because I feel safe whenever he was near me to keep me safe from the dangers of the world.

"What was this event and when was this picture taken of the three of us?" I asked him as I have altered the subject matter to something else.

he chuckled at the fond memories of this picture going down his memory lane during figure out that he still looks at me with the same looks in his eyes in this picture as well as other times when he thought I wasn't looking back at him being too distracted by the majestic sunset in the sky for instance, which he did look at me now at this moment in time feel magical.

There was something more to his gazed watchful eyes being on me, all the time ever since I became fifteen years old up to till now that we are in fact in our twenties, eventually pushing those thoughts aside for a while to learn more about the meaning of the memory behind the picture. I listened to him explain it to me, hence why his voice didn't slightly break even if I could see his emotions wavering in his eyes, giving me a clear understanding of what it meant to him.

"You look so utterly, incredibly and truly beautiful in your prom dress in this picture of the three of us going to our secondary school prom and it was both of our mum's ideas to take a picture of the three of us together," he told me.

Remembering an insufficient part of this event of our secondary school dance on the night of this picture was taken by our parents was starting to add up pieces to pieces together in my mind nonetheless, I didn't want to make this day all about me, so I didn't bring it up to him that bits of my memory was returning to me and I probably would have tells him when things are a little less hectic than not.

A week to remember was my motto to help make it bearable for both of us to enjoy the time we have together by visiting every single place or activity on our bucket list, in this case, it was going to the Carnival even if we didn't do our list in chronological order to mixed things up more of course to make it fun for us.

"Was this picture taken of me making my grand entrance down the flight of stairs?" I questioned him.

Nodding his head to answer my question "indeed, it was you making your grand entrance down the stairs and I whispered in your ear when you come close to me that you look absolutely beautiful in your dress" he paused for a dramatic effect and said that "and you look like my perfect little angel".

Snapping myself out of our trance for a second whilst thinking of many carnivals which have started this month when none of them come to mind, I started searching on Google on my phone for carnivals in England or Birmingham for us to go to today, however, I feel like I should have been more than prepared for this and it has gotten a restaurant across the road from it that we could go to in case we get hungry afterwards we will probably go back to his apartment to watch a movie probably to spend the night eating sweet and salty popcorn or only butter popcorn too.

Showing results for the list of Carnival on Google Maps hoping that he will choose one of them but he suggested that I should choose one of those for him so I did pick the one with a nice restaurant next to it as well as the other shops it has near it to go shopping for an item or perhaps even a camera.

"You looked incredibly handsome in your suit back then" I complimented him.

We were getting off-topic here, but we walked out of his apartment taking the elevator to go down instead of taking the longest flight of stairs to leave here we hopped onto his motorcycle and then he handed me a spare helmet in blue my favourite colour nevertheless, I was overthinking too much before I could talk myself out of going on to his motorcycle not sure if it was much safer than going into a car ride toward the Carnival was when he could see the look of fear been written all over my face.

A nerve exhale to calm down my racing heart was not more than enough for it to stop panting in my chest thereafter, he placed my hand in his hand using his other hand to lift my head until my eyes could meet his eyes seeing the state I was in made him even want to hold on to me evermore to continue to comfort me.

"You are only as big as your fears right, but let's show them who is in charge here," he said reassuringly to me.

As I keep repeating the same word that he had said to me in my head over more than twenty thousand times was enough to make me want to forget my trouble and fear for once to picture the world from a whole new perspective on the canvas in the back of my mind with an amazing expectation of how dreams are made of to me. He saw me in a way nobody else has ever seen me before without judging me by my mistake and made me feel lighter now that all of the burdens I was carrying was lifted off my chest, it was a tremendous feeling of being breathing then feeling the hype surrounding me by the trees and shrubs we drove past few places on our way to get to the Carnival.

Arriving at the Carnival to hear the music playing in the background filled the air with the excitement of other people laughter or screams cheerfully which was something that made me feel extremely enthusiastic about rushing in there myself after waiting patiently for him to park his motorcycle safely chained out the front by the fences.

"You are right all along that I have nothing to be afraid of when I am near you and thank you for not laughing at me," I said appreciatively to him.

Eagerly running inside the Carnival with him being hot on my tail-chasing after me like we were little school children going on roller coasters rides, playing tournaments competing against each other, and walking around to take a glimpse at different booths taking a huge amount of pictures of everything else we did here. We went to a photo booth taking funny pictures together soon heading towards one last fair game when he won me a prize dolphin and teddy bear . We walked around the corner to go to the restaurant to grab a bite to eat.

"I will always be there to hold your hand when times get tough for you and I will be there every step of the way because you're my angel," he said to me.

Do friends look at each other the same way as we look at each other with so much attraction and love held in our eyes?

Quickly shaking off the thousands of thoughts about us being more than friends tonight to enjoy dining with him in an Italian restaurant eating their finest cuisine while laughing and talking amongst each other as he let me take some of his food off his plates to eat without having any objection to it.

"So, how are you enjoying your day so far, Greer?" I asked him, being interested in what he had to say next.

Never mind that I was eating in front of a man who was my best friend brother that I have liked for quite some time now, but I was eating the same way I eat in my kitchen on campus not worrying about what he had to think anything bad about it because his words that day affect me when he said fake it until I make it and then I realised that he has been going through a series of hard times himself as individuals who used to be in prison for being frame by someone else who had planted drugs in his locker.

A waiter has come by his dessert since I couldn't have possibly been able to choose from a variety of different types of dessert myself and again I take small bites of his chocolate fondant cake with ice cream on the side and the fondant being decorated in whipped cream and a cherry on the top of it however, he seems slightly annoyed by the waiter attempt to flirt at me moreover, he put the waiter in his place making it loud and clear that a woman like me deserve more than what the world has to offer me.

He spoke up to the waiter"Can you please hawking, flirting or even breathe next to my girlfriend? because it is very disrespectful of you and a woman like her deserve more than what this cruel world can give her" he looks me in the right in the eyes and said, "a gem like her is worth more than this world and the whole universe itself, but is so far out of anyone reached because she is and will always be my angel".

Tears were falling out of my eyes within an instant of listening to what he told the waiter was an amazing speech that touches my heart and normally I was never much as a big fan of crying out loud in front of people yet, but when I was him I felt like anything was possible for me to do, eventually, he then paid for our food before we left the restaurant riding to his apartment in his motorcycle to spend the night at his place.

"Why are you crying? Because no man deserves your tears and I do mean everything that says in the restaurant back there to the waiter because it's true" he expressed how he felt to me.

Despite arguing standing outside in the rain for gaining everyone else's attention was only us kissing passionately when every single word that he said to me made me realize that I wanted to be his and for him to be mine but life was very complicated for both of us right now.

"Well, thank you for my rock when time does get tough for me," I said appreciatively to him.

Later that night we spent four hours watching movies, picking up his guitar, singing and dancing around the kitchen eating a fresh batch of cookies from the bakery where I brought it from down the road. We even slept in the same bed together with him being the big spoon while we were spooning. Nothing happened after that and we fell asleep in each other's arms.

Among those five hundred and billion stars in the night sky, each star gets added up there when we lose our loved ones to death and their souls will be up in the atmosphere which soon is turned into a star that will be watching over us in the middle of the night to protect us from any harm or to guide us to our soulmate.
