The Story of Us

Epilogue

Months later

"How's Heather?" I asked a worried Freddy. The family knew about them and they still didn't accept Freddy in the family. Heather cried every night and finally they gave in. They told Freddy that he had to learn the family business and he didn't hesitate. Good for them right. The seniors finally graduated months ago and now we're here. Would you believe it Mrs. Foster retired and I suddenly became the principal? Weird isn't it but the pay is very good. I didn't have to worry about financially supporting mom.

"It's a girl," he cried. Freddy was an emotional man, the moment the family gave him a chance Heather said he cried and Freddy had to change his last name to Brown which he quickly accepted.

Congratulating him, we went inside her room and saw the baby girl in her arms, looking alot like Freddy but in a beautiful way.

"She's so beautiful," I cooed at the baby. "What's her name?"

Heather and Freddy smiled at each other. They nust have thought about this alot. "Her name is Kelly," Heather announced.

What a beautiful name.

"Any significance?" I question poking the little thing's toes. "Well, when I had my first check up, Yana and I went to the doctors. We decided to have fake names. Mine was Hazel and she was Kelly," she smiled at the baby.

The last time I heard of Yana was on her wedding day. They moved somewhere else no one knows why and I am missing her so much.

Hearing her name made me want to cry but I was going to be brave and move one, not from my love for her. I love her so much and I don't know if anyone else can replace them.

I smiled at the happy couple and left the room when my phone vibrated in my pocket.

"Yeah Nic?" I say over the phone. The girls and I became close and they called me by my first name now.

Last time it was Nica, Heather and Yana but now since Yana was gone it was us three hanging out. We became like best buddies suddenly.

"Oh, okay. Thanks," I smile and ended the call. I made my absence known as I left home. Apparently Nica sent me a package and she said it was important and I had to hurry my ass home.

After what seemed like hours I arrived and saw a box in front of my door.

Hurriedly I carried the heavy box and opened the door with my keys. Setting the box on the counter, I opened a new wine and poured me a glass. I had a mirror in my kitchen so I had someone to talk to. Weird? Don't tell me

Cutting the tape and opening the box, I took out a magnifying glass. What the hell is this? Laughing, I played with it and looked at the content of the box.

I quickly called Nica. "What the hell is with the magnifying glass," I laugh and she shrug but laughing as well. "Stop calling me and see what's inside," she said seriously and ended the call. Meanie.

Next thing I took out was a heavy folder. I cut it open and pull out what it was. The moment I saw it I realized who these came from. It was from Yana.

Photgraphs of me scattered on the counter as I cried. Taking the photograph time when we were in Thailand I flip the card and saw her hand writing.

You are my happiness. I can't imagine life without you.

Another photograph of the time in the carnival. It was a stolen photo and I was looking down.

I can see my puke on ur shirt xD

Silly Yana.

A photograph when we were in our date car going to the airport.

Surprising you is very much worth it.

Another stolen picture of me this time naked. When did she even capture this? My back was shown and my ass visible.

Hot damn, you still give me wet dreams ;)

Oh Yana, laughing at her cute messages I wipe my tears as I continue reading the rest. I flip the time in her wedding.

You still look so damn beautiful when you cry.

I couldn't contain my tears anymore as I read the last picture. It was the first picture of us together.

You were the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Crying, I placed my face on my hand as I sob. Yana, I really need you. Help me to be strong like you. I looked myself in the mirror and I looked an ugly mess. Wiping my tears, I lay my head on the cold counter and stare at the mirror reflecting Yana's necklace. It was something I haven't noticed before until now. I sniffed as my head was raised and unhook it from my neck, squinting my eyes to look at the heart necklace.

Realizing the usage of the the magnifying glass, I took it and focused on the small scribble on the heart.

I love you

I lost it. I just lost it. Crying heavily, I gripped the shirt on my chest. Unable to control the pain I was feeling.

"I love you more Yana," I cried out. All this time Yana was telling me she love me. This was the reason she wanted me to wear this all the time. Although I told her not to tell me she loved me, she still did anyway. Ever since the beginning.

My eyes landed on her familiar phone. Her lock screen was a picture of me on our first date. She had the same passcode 35462 and I didn't get to ask her what it meant.

I explore her phone, finding what she other surprises she left for me. Clicking on her gallery it was full of photos of me. Most of it were stolen and I clicked on one video. It was the moment I fell asleep in the car on the way to the airport. She was using her phone while driving.

She was humming my name as she recorded me, "Elina, Elina, my Elina."

"That's dangerous Yana," I laughed at her risky behaviour. Hooking back the necklace I had the urge to go the voice record. There was only one and it was long. I inhaled and swallowed the lump on my throat as I clicked play.

"Ahem ahem, this is the beautiful Yana speaking," she started and I waited for her to continue. "This message is only exclusive for my Elina. If you're not her then stop listening asshole," she paused. Typical Yana, I chuckle. "Okay, here I go. El I'm sure you just realized the words on the necklace since you seem slow," she laughed. "You didn't seem to like hearing me saying the words so wear the necklace everyday to remind you how I feel about you. If you forget to wear them even for a sec I swear I'm going to ruin your car again," she sighed. "I miss you, I miss your voice, you calling my name and when I wake up you are the first thing I see. Such a beautiful thing to wake up to. If you can pretend that you can see me, I am wearing your ring," she stopped when someone called out for her in the background. "Mrs. Duncan dinner is ready," the faint voice said. "Just a sec," Yana replied.

"That was my maid if you could hear that. Although I'd love to talk to myself more I gotta go. You'll have memories of us with you by now but I only have two things of you with me." I heard her chuckling evilly. "One, your ring and the other," she got something and I heard a moan playing. Wait what?

It sounded like me. I mean it was me. Before I could react she said her closing remark as she chuckled, "I love you."

Damn you Adrianna.
