My guardian angel, the prequel of The world elsewhere

Five months before the accident

Emily sat across from me with this cocky smile.

- I can help you ? I said while eating my lasagna.
- You know it's almost Christmas.
- And so ?
- And Ed's birthday.
- Eden. I corrected her.
- Brief. You will help me.
- You're his girlfriend, I'm just his friend.
- Because you're just his friend, I'm asking you for help. If you weren't his friend, I wouldn't even approach you with a stick. she laughed.
- Emily stop bothering the customers and take care of the empty tables. said Bob.
- Don't worry Bob, she doesn't bother me. I tell him to reassure him.
- So much the better. he said as he left.
- Thanks. she said to me for the first time.
- I'm not a monster, Emily.
- Why did you change your hair ? It was beautiful.
- I'm not going to be mysterious, it's just that I never liked them. I felt too different.
- You really hide your game well.
- Eden didn't tell you about it ?
- He never talks about you like you're his most precious treasure and that's why I hate you.
- I understand but I am not his treasure. You are. Never doubt it.
- How could I judge you, damn it ?
- Because I look like a monster and you're not horrible either. I laughed.
- Our Eden is so lucky.
- A lot.

Eden was glued to her but now I didn't care. They had the right to love each other. I sometimes felt like I was too much, but I had him and he was my best-friend. Sara had proven to me that appearances are deceiving.

It only had one problem left to solve.

I stared when I saw Eden's mother.

- Ma'am, what are you doing here ?
- Where is my son ?
- With his girlfriend.
- Are you serious ? You're usually stuck to him and now you're leaving him in the arms of a stranger.
- Sorry...

The problem is called Ms. Diallo.

- Your incompetence disgusts me. I trusted that you would take care of my son but no, you leave him helpless !

Tears welled up in my eyes and my throat tightened.

- I am ashamed, Ms. Diallo.
- You better be ashamed, stupid.
- You know he's stronger than you think.
- But of course, liar. He's much too fragile, my boy.

I left her. The evening came and I was waiting for his call but he didn't make it.

When in the evening, he calls me. In my voice, he feels pain. He had to tell me that I was beautiful.

- It's okay... I cried. I'm fucking fine. Just call me, please....please.

I think he's the only one who calms me down when I cry for help...*

- Fuck ! I screamed, throwing my phone on my rocking chair. Fuck, fuck, fuck ! HOLY SHIT !

If the only person who made me feel like I existed ignored me. I broke down more and more every day but I didn't say anything. I had a fucking emotional addiction. But when that day arrived, the emotional dependence no longer existed.

My phone rang and I picked it up. Lauri's name appeared.

We talked for an hour and then she left for work. She was in the capital of Europe.
BRUSSELS ! Belgium is the country of fall it seems. 11 million almost 12 million. A small country which is also a kingdom hidden by France. Belgium is the country of chocolate, beer and above all fries to die for. I love this country.

I looked at the time and finally decided to go to bed.

Eden looked at me.

- What ? I laughed.
- You're so beautiful. he said.
- Shut up !
- It's true. You're pretty.
- Okay, I understood.
- Have you thought about participating in Miss Universe ?
- You're not going to do it, too ! I said to Emily who kissed Eden. Ugh, get a room !
- Oh that interests me ! Heather, my childhood friend, said.
- You're a creepy girl.
- You love me for a raison ! she said, taking me in her arms.
- Too much love, I'm going to vomit ! I said.
- Ooh, again, Heather ! Emily laughed.
- I hate you, guys ! I said trying to run away.

They laughed and finally I laughed. Henry came and hugged me as I managed to get away from Heather.

- Fuck. I said pretending to cry.
- Oh my baby crying ! Eden screamed while laughing.
- You ain't my friends. I said getting up.
- We're ! they yelled.

Mom sat on the sofa accompanied by my grandfather talking about the latest family news.

- Grandpa ! I said jumping into his arms.
- My little candy cane.
- How are you ?
- And it's your old grandfather who asks these questions. Mom said.
- Sorry. I laughed.
- It's okay, Soni. It's just small questions. How much you have grown !
- Grandpa, you saw me in July.
- Already three months. The time flies. he blew.
- Yes, but you are immortal !
- You too ! he laughed.
- How are Grandma and Mustache ? I asked.
- They are doing very well, these two. he smiled.
- Oh sorry, I'll late ! Bye ! I said greeting them.
- Good day, Honey. Mom said.
- Good luck champion ! Grandpa said.

I left the house and went to look for Eden.

- You are late. he laughed.
- Grandpa is here.
- Oh no, I missed him ?
- Maybe. I smiled.
- Let's go to school ! he yelled.
- Idiot. I said, patting him on the back of the head.
- I love you.
- I hate you.
- You're not funny. he blew.
- I know. The last one in high school will have to give their dessert to the winner ! I said running.
- Hey ! Wait for me !

- We are here !!! Eden said, entered in my house.
- Good afternoon, Eden. Mom said.
- Grandpa is here ? he asked.
- Dad ! Mom yelled.
- I'm here ! I'm here. Grandpa said as he came home confused.
- Hey, Mr. Johnny ! Eden smiled.
- My little Eden !

They hugged each other.

- You're as tall as me now ! Grandpa laughed.
- Don't say anything ! You're a giant ! Eden smiled.
- What if we left the children together ? my mother said, taking me into the kitchen.

Those were my favorite moments.

- Were you really in detention because you insulted a teacher ? she asked.
- Mister Panneton. I replied while peeling the zucchini.
- Do it again whenever you want, I'm not a fan of bastards. said my mother, winking at me.
- Mom ! I laughed.

She gave me a little hip thrust.

- We're coming to help you ! Grandpa laughed.
- NO I DON'T AGREE ! Eden yelled trying running out of kitchen.
- Eden, it's ratatouille tonight, I thought you loved it. - Touch !

I applauded my mother and we prepared the meal.

I must admit that I put my country in this story cause we never talk about it !

*inspired enormously by the French song:
Elle me dit from Still Fresh.

Bye bye !!!!!!!!
