Chapter 2

I was with my Mom and Dad,they were both holding my hands so tight and told me how much they love me."You are like the brightest stars we've ever seen our whole life"my Mom told me with all her heart while  my Dad was holding my hands.They never said that because they were too busy managing the Ross Enterprises but this time,they said all those words with all of their heart.(alarm clock ringing)But I woke up,it was a dream.....it only happened in a dream.

I took a bath while crying,why can't it be true...why must everything has to be like this.It was all my fault....

*Flashback

I was the one driving the car,my mom told me not to but I said I can do it because I'm no longer a baby.But as we were telling stories while driving I got dizzy and I don't know why then suddenly there was a bright light from the truck ahead and then my parents dieddd BECAUSE OF ME.

My dizziness and hallucinations happened recently until it became one after another.I couldn't tell anyone,if anyone would know that I have a problem they will not allow me to go to school anymore because I'd have to go visit a freaking psychiatrist in which would never ever ever happen.

As I walk along the school corridor,as usual most girls are watching me and this time,they know I'm in pain for what happened to my parents and I know they would take the opportunity to try and comfort me but I won't fall for it.None of these girls deserves someone like me,I'm Jacob Ross.

"Jake,I'm so sorry for what happened to your parents."and the first girl to do it is Meg Collins.

Well they say she's like the hottest girl in school but not that hot for me.

"I really am sorry for what happened,do you wanna ahhh have lunch with me?We can talk about it."she said it as sweet as she can.

"No thanks,I already have plans."And I walk away from her,I just want her to realize that I don't like her and she musn't expect too much from me.

Well,as y'all expect I'm back at the rooftop.Honestly,I'm expecting she would be back.Well,it's not that i like her uhmmmm but uhmmm NO,obviously not.I just wanna be alone and I mean it.

"Are you trying to jump again and shed your kidneys?My phone is ready"

I know that's her.Deep inside I'm actually...delighted that she's here but then I'm Jacob Ross,I don't easily fall for girls specially if the girl is someone like her so I have to act pissed.

"Who told you that I'm here?"I asked her as if I don't want her around

"My instincts!"now I think this girl is actually following me.

She kept quite for a while but I would never lean back.Waiittt.....is she gone?Did she just wak away?She can't walk away at me like that.I lean trying to find her.

"You looking for me?"amd I was shocked when she was just sitting next to me.

"You know,it's not bad to be alone but sometimes you need someone to be there when you need someone to talk to."

I looked at her with a glare.

"What do you know?You seem to have such a perfect life."I said enviously.

"Well,my life is not perfect but it's not as miserable as I think your life is."

"And how do you know that my life is miserable?"I asked her

"Because your willing to jump the rooftop which is more than 600 feet high and shed your kidneys,liver and brain down there"

She said it while laughing and I laughed with her unexpectedly.

"You look better when you smile."she said it while staring at me.

It's been a long time since someone like her made me smile,It's been a long time since I last smile....like this.

"So uhhh,what's your full name?"I ask her amd this I'm sure I was interested.

"Just Lia"

"You mean just Lia?You don't have a last name?"

"No"

I was shocked but maybe she's just not proud her last name and I respect her privacy,it's one of what my dad taught me.

"So,why do you always go up here?"she asked curiously

"I ahh I-I wanna be alone,I wanna move on and forget about everything,I wanna be free from people"

"You have a problem."I was shocked from what she said.

"Excusez-moi?"I asked her in French so she won't understand

"Je peux te comprendre, je suis né à Paris."I was embarrassed when I knew that she was born from Paris so I remained silent

"You have a problem and you can tell me anything,I'm willing to listen."

A lot of girls told me the same thing but she's different.I can feel her sincerity and I know she won't ask for anything in return.

(sighs)

"Okay,3 months ago my parents died from a car accident and I was left with my stupid uncle who doesn't even care much about me.Our company is in turmoil and I don't know what to do.It's like my world is turning upside down and I don't know what to do.I can't go through all of this alone"

"Your not."she said intriguely

"I'll be there with you."she added

As I stared at her,I'm starting to realized how beautiful she is.That brown wavy hair,fair skin and red lips.I couldn't stop myself.

I grabbed her and kissed her as if I do not want to stop and I was shocked when instead of stopping me,she responded to my kiss.I don't know what I was doing but all I know is that I just wanna freeze that moment and stay there forever.

After that,we both watch the sunset,I went down to buy some foods so we would have something to eat.Then we watch the stars together.Our relationship is not that official but that day was the happiest day of my existence.

But we all know,every moment ends.

"I have to go,it's already 9pm."she said.

"Will I get to see you again?"I asked her with a sad voice.

"I will keep coming back here,I'll wait for you."she said while wearing her smile of love.

And I stand up,grabbed her waist one more to give her a last kiss....for that night.

I smiled with an overwhelming heart.I wish to stay on that day forever but I couldn't.Besides,she'll come back and I trust her words.
