I'm His Only Love
When Audra's mum dies, she goes back home, even knowing she would finally have to face his first love, Chris – who’s also his foster brother. After what appears to have been a pretty painful breakup, they’ve been avoiding each other over the past 11 years. But will the pain of the loss bring them back together? Or would the bad memories be too much? The journey from here only gets more eventful, when her mum leaves a surprise condition on her will that would turn Audra’s life around.
FIRST DAY
After class was over Chris and I made an intentional effort to be some of the last ones out, but we still wanted to have a few people left for them to hear. It was pretty easy, as some people (mostly girls) kept curiously eyeing him and seemed to be slowing down just to see if he would talk to them. Eventually, he said, loud enough for them to hear:
"Hey, would you mind showing me to my locker? All the halls look the same to me at the moment..."
"Sure, no problem. Just give me a minute here."
We kept pretending for a minute longer till the few people who were hanging back went away. The girls fled, disappointed that he had asked me for directions and not them.
"That was easier than I thought." He said in a low tone, smiling wide. "Actually, it was sort of fun, kind of like we were in a spy movie, I feel we need secret signals."
Clearly, he was feeling better than in the morning, I was happy to see him this way, this is how his fresh start should look on him, always.
