CHAPTER 7

GRADUATION

Love,come to think of it your not so bad.Well I thought you were but I'm beginning to like you.Dont disappoint me.The great love is now in my house,in my heart,occupying the empty space in my heart.It feels great and I pray nothing ruins it

Graduation come on,it was time for we the final years to say farewell to Hope University,well I'll miss you and all the wonderfull moment I had with Damsel.I still couldn't believe that we were going to leave far away from each other.The last 7 days in Hope university was amazing,we had sex and went on dates and had more sex,she practically moved in with me.now it was time for us to say good bye.Well I'm going to Brooklyn this summer..Elizabeth declared and that drove me off world.wait what...are you serious..I asked just checking to see if she wasn't joking..Yes...she assured me and I embraced her in my arms.Cant wait to see you in Brooklyn..I exclaimed as we stared at each other..yeah see you soon...she said and entered the bus which took her away from me.Well now what...it's time to go home Jake aunt is waiting for you.I entered the next bus,got to the airport and flew straight for Brooklyn.Home sweet Home,at long last I'm back.I pressed the door bell and old aunt opened the door and gave me a long hug.oh my son your back,come there is some one I want you to meet..she took hold of my hand and she lead me to the living room.Elizabeth..I called out as I saw her seated in the leaving room..Jake ...she responded with my name..

Well Jake I have seen you've already met my daughter..aunt said and I was struck by lightning...wait ..what?.Did I hear my aunt well,daughter?....Elizabeth is her daugher...I couldn't speak and my aunt didn't seem to know what was going on.I turned my gaze to my aunt teary eyes.I felt something struck my heart,like I was bleeding internally in my heart.What did you say...I questioned my aunt with a sad tone as a tear made it way out of my eye.Well,remember I told you that I have a daughter who was living with her father in Paris,well they had come back three years ago and her father brought her back here 4 months ago,you were in school.4 months,did this woman say 4 months,I was in school but why didn't she call to inform me.I wanted to surprise you when you graduate that's why I kept it a secret from you...sorry for that,dear.Elizabeth couldn't even look at me,she sat there with her legs pinched together with her gaze on her laps.The next thing I did was to get out of the house,to clear my head and may be release the pain.I found my self in an inn,what was I doing there,to clear my head.I started to drink,but still nothing,I had to drink much liquor before my mind swift from her.I can't recall what happened next but the first face I saw when woked up was beautiful Elizabeth.I stood up immediately from the couch and went to my room.I can't remember how long I spent in the room but when I peaked through the window the stars were shinning beautifully.

The agony that I felt was unexplainable.How can this world be so cruel,once again love has proven to be dangerious,or this is not love,perhaps I am wrong.The heart wasn't broken but it was in pain from the truth.She was my aunts blood and that makes her my blood too,all the happy moments we shared,the plans we had swifting away with the sands of time.I didn't feel pleasant seeing her in tears,not like I could do anything.Fate has brought this upon us,who is even deciding this.Love always link people together,showing them the right path and the rest is left in the hands of fate.well some people seems to appreciate fate much better since it favors them and the rest of us whose fate is dammed to eternal suffering we say,Fuck You Fate.The next thing I did,was to leave Brooklyn for good.Where was I going,I didn't have a clue but I couldn't stay and watch as my first ever love sheared tears because of me.And besides I needed to cool my head,all this was new to me.One thing I feared the most was the walks I had used years to built around my heart was now broken.I was now vulnerable to love,and I assured my self to be extra careful always
