A love story created by a student in creative writing specialization

1. There are times in our lives when we meet someone who will be our support whenever we have a problem. But there will suddenly come a time when your relationship will be unclear which will cause you to give up. I'm Katy, I'm in grade twelve and in the humss strand. My dream is to become a doctor but I don't know why I chose the strand humss . It's the last day of school and vacation again, I'm excited to go home. I have many places I want to visit, New York being one of them. Even though I'm here in the Philippines studying, I still prefer New York because besides my mom and dad, I have more friends there. While I was eating lunch, mom suddenly called. "Hello darling", she said. "Hi mom, what's up?", I replied. "Your daddy and I can't go home to the Philippines this summer, we're too busy", she said. I just smiled at what mom said because whenever they don't come home, I go to them. "Looks like I'm going to enjoy the summer", I said to myself. "Hello Katy, are you still there? I'm really sorry, child, you have to adjust for us again." No mom, it's ok", I replied. "Thank you child, I'll turn off the call because mommy is still busy", she said and hung up because she was in a hurry. After class, I went home immediately. After we had dinner with Grandma, I went to my room to pack my things because I'm leaving tomorrow for New York The next day, I woke up early to prepare myself for departure. And finally, after several hours of traveling, I'm here now in New York. After I arrived at our house, I was immediately greeted with a tight hug from mom and dad. "I miss you mom and dad", I said and my tears fell. "We miss you too, Child. Come sit down, your mom and Nanny have cooked a lot", Dad said. "Your godmother and aunt are also here, they just arrived from Thailand", Mom said. I greeted them both, they smiled at me. I felt ashamed of Aunt Annie because I just met her. We sat down at the dining table and ate. While eating, our attention turned to the man who entered the door. "Josh, it's good that you're here. Come let me introduce you to Katy", Aunt Annie said. The man came to the dining table and sat down in the empty chair next to me". Katy, it's Josh by the way. Your aunt Annie's only child, I hope you will be close", Mom said. "Hi, Josh I'm Katy, I'm glad to meet you", I said as I reached out my hand to shake hands. "Hello, I'm Josh, just like Tita said, I hope we can be close", he said and we shook hands. "I like him, he's kind and really family oriented, he's like my ideal man", I said in my mind and I just grinned. We finished eating and while I was sitting on the sofa while using my cell phone, Josh approached me to invite me to the garden. I just went with him because I wasn't doing anything either. Josh and I talked a lot, and I didn't think that in just one day we would be so close. After our gathering at home, Josh and I have been seeing each other every day. We're going places we've never been before. We make the most of our time together and make the most of short vacation. It got to the point where Josh started courting me. The joy of my vacation was because I met Josh, in the two months we've known each other, we've become very close to each other. My day was even happier because the school announced that our summer vacation was extended. The time I will be with him will be longer. I'm even more excited because my 18th birthday is just a week away. Mom and dad took care of my birthday. I told them that it's okay even if it's just a simple party, but they said that I deserve a big celebration because the debut only happens once. Five days before my birthday, I invited Josh and I to go to the beach to enjoy ourselves because after my bday he will be going home to Thailand because he still has school. He was absent for a week just to go to my bday . I once again felt that he really loved me and that I was important to him. As we walked along the beach, I stopped and held Josh's hand. "Josh, thank you for all the love you made me feel. Thank you for making me a princess even after we've only known each other for a few months. Thank you for coming to me. Josh, I will never let you go. I don't want to miss you this time you won't be mine. Josh, I love you, can you be my boyfriend?", I asked him. I can't hardly picture out his reaction, he looked like he couldn't believe it."No Katy, I should ask you that question. Katy, I love you so much, and I'm ready to shout it to the whole world. Katy, will you be my girlfriend?", he asked and he started to cry. Suddenly my tears fell when I saw him crying. "Oh my love, don't cry, I don't want to see tears falling from your eyes", he said and put his hand on my cheek to wipe away the tears. "I love you, yes Josh, I will be your girlfriend", I said and Josh hugged me. I was surprised when he suddenly shouted out of joy. "Finally, the most beautiful girl in the world is now my girlfriend!", this is what he shouted again and again. The day I was waiting for has arrived, my birthday. Dad was the first I danced at 18 flowers and what I expected, Josh was my last dance. I remember when I was in grade 10, I was wondering who would be my first boyfriend. I told myself that whoever will be my first boyfriend will also be my last, he will also be my last dance on the most special day to me, and this day has come, Josh is the man who made my dreams come true. After my birthday, Josh went home to Thailand and so did I, I went home to New York to continue college. I took the law course and Josh and I are the same. Our love continued even though we were far from each other. Our relationship has become stronger now that we have matured. And I remembered the last day we were together, we got a tattoo on the hand. Heartbeat is the type of tattoo that we put on with the meaning that our hearts will keep beating just for each other. The day I've been waiting for has arrived, our first anniversary. Josh and I won't see each other today because we still have the same class. We will just talk through the video call. He also mentioned that he had flowers to send me and my favorite chocolate cake. But to my surprise, there was no video call celebration. He didn't even greet me happy anniversary. I waited for flowers and cake but nothing came. We didn't talk for a whole day. I started to overthink because of what happened, because even though he is busy at school he can still chat with me on messenger, but why didn't he do it. Good morning and asking have you eaten was the only thing I received from him on our anniversary. After two days, Josh still hasn't updated me, we still haven't talked. I was about to enter school when suddenly someone called on the phone, it was Aunt Annie. I answered the phone and I totally wondered why Aunt Annie was crying. "Hello Aunt, are you okay? Why were you called, is there a problem?" I will ask. "Katy, Josh is gone. My son is gone, my only child is gone", she answered and Aunt Annie cried even more. I could hardly move from what Tita mentioned, and the only thing I mentioned was "No Aunt, please, that's a bad joke. If Josh doesn't want me anymore, I'm ready to let him go, you don't have to tell such a lie ", after that, I started to cry. "No Katy, he's dead. He was riding a car to the airport because he was going to the Philippines for your anniversary. He brought flowers and chocolate cake for your celebration, Katy. But he didn't reach the airport, his car was hit by a truck. He was operated on immediately but his body could not take it anymore. He gave up immediately, he left us", Aunt Annie said. I could hardly move my body, I could not speak what I heard. My tears continued to fall, but I tried to be strong for Auntie and especially for Josh. I have already traveled to Thailand to see Josh, even though it was painful and difficult, I still braced myself for my love for him. After I arrived at their house, I was greeted with a hug from Aunt Annie. It was very difficult for me to step my feet closer to his coffin. I can't fully imagine that the person you love is already in front of you and has no life. Josh, I promise you that you will be my first and last love. Thank you for the love and trust you have given to our relationship. I love you so much, and I know you know that. I promise, I will never cry because I know you don't want me to cry. I know you don't want to hurt me, and thank you very much for that. It's sad to think that you were my first love but you were the first to leave. Just guide me always, I will fulfill our dream of becoming a lawyer one day.
