I was an independent fearless young woman at my age. Im only sixteen and everything I want, I do it as long as it's right. My parents said that every decision I should make in life must be right and that I would not regret it. After I graduated from HighSchool I insisted on studying the course I wanted, contrary to what they wanted and because of that I promised myself that I should not fail. I literally and financially support myself to prove to them that my decision was right. At this age, I have never experienced a boyfriend or Crush or whatever it is called. Not only does it really sink into my mind to do such a thing for now because I focus on studying first, there are also a few that admits they like me and courted me but it's just a waste of time I ignored them. I still remember what my Grandma said when she was still alive "NEVER RUSH FOR LOVE COZ WHEN ITS TIME THE RIGHT ONE WILL COME, YOU'LL KNOW IT AND YOU'LL FEEL IT" so that's why I ignored having a boyfriend until now I'm in my first year college, I've never had a boyfriend because I remember what my grandmother said and besides, I'm still young if HE comes at the right time maybe I'll be ready during that time but one day everything changed all of that, almost the same year, I met him.
He was Jake Suarez, only son, rich, handsome, with a strong body, looking so hot, almost everything was in him, so it is not surprising that many women would chase him, and for the first time my heart was captured and my life began to be complicated and chaotic.
**********
I was about to leave the school, I was in front of the main gate when I saw Jake get out of his car, he almost ran up to me and pulled me by the hand and carried me to the side of the school building.
"Why do u keep on ignoring my phone calls and messages huh ?,
"I lost my phone two weeks ago," I replied while avoiding his gaze.
"What the ----- I've been going back and forth to your house so many times but you don't seem to be coming home. Where are you staying now?
"You're not supposed to worry anymore, Jake! I want to be able to think first.
"Think? For what? Hannah, I told you that Abegail and I are just friends. I don't like her.
"Its not about her".
"Then who? why are you avoiding me this much? Huh?
"What about your fiancee Jake? Steve told me you have a fiancee and were about to get married after college.I know you love her so much, but why are you here standing in front of me now?
"Fiancee? Damn that Steve! just as easy as that, you believe all stupid lies He told you? I do not have anyone Hannah!
"I don't understand you Jake, remember when you're drunk one night? I heard you saying You love her and gave everything to her! So what are you saying now that you don't have anyone huh? I asked in surprise.
"Urgh! I don't care about anything or anyone in the past anymore. It's You that's making me crazy and having me sleepless nights. I can't get you out of my head! Are you numb Hannah? I know you feel that too, when we're together the chemistry, the love, the happiness but why don't you admit it? you're not a child anymore can you stop acting like one! Oh gosh! Hannah! ........ he shouted. He punched the wall behind him, I trembled and sobbed seeing him like this.
"I'm sorry Jake!, I don't want to be the cause of your misunderstanding with Abegail.
"Stop mentioning her name again! I don't like her as much as I like you! just so you know!
"But She said---------I stop talking seeing him so pissed off.
"Let me think first Jake!, You need to find yourself too! There's a big difference between LIKE and LOVE. Once you figure out what you really feeI, we'll I guess we can talk about this again when the right time comes," I said almost in a whisper because it seems that the words didn't want to come out of my mouth.
"Think? Months passed and I almost went crazy thinking and looking for you and then that's all you can say? how can you Hannah? it's unfair! he shouted again. I never seen him so angry like this before. I didn't know what to do. My heart broke into peices seeing him like this but what can I do, how can I tell the real reason, I'm afraid of what might gonna happen.
"I'm really sorry Jake , I hope you'll understand", I want to finish my studies first then when the right time comes and you are sure of your feelings towards me maybe then we can continue this conversation . I turned around and left, tears falling down my cheeks, the hurt I'm feeling right now feels like I'm being stabbed with a knife a hundred times, I'm in extreme pain. "TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, ALWAYS", were the words on my lips before finally leaving that place.
