The love story of life and death (On Going And Editing)

Chapter 2

June

"Name's June, you know life for me is more extraordinary than I ever imagine"

Mum said, when I was 1 year old, I was involved in an car accident with my aunt

Miraculously I lived but my aunt? She isn't very lucky,
and after that scene in my life, my family learned to value life the way they value things

There was a funny story behind my name
My name came from the roman goddess juno which is fertility and marriage, juno was a goddess life therefore I became life, it wasn't supposed to be june, it was supposed to be Mary anne but dad write the date on the place where the name was supposed to be written (maybe he has a poor eyesight).

"So June, what job are you applying for ?" Said the girl across the table,

"A part time job ma'am"

I was applying, you know? Just to support my studies,
My dad died when I was 15, it was because of leukemia,
And my mum? She abandoned me after dad died, don't know why, maybe she fall out of love or I don't know, the real thing is she had a new family in another town, now I'm here with my not so good aunt in a small town of caeldon trying to find myself and trying to find my dad's insurance booklet to retrieve the money he invested for me, then I can live Happily ever after.

"What grade are you june?"

"I'm grade 12"

You think life's worth living? For me of course, its not everyday that God will give you second chance to live, maybe they are arguing in heaven whether I live or not, that's why even my life is so miserable, I'm still thankful.

"Well, you're hired Miss? What's you're name again?"

"I'm June Ramos"

"Okay Ms. Ramos, you're hired"

"Wow, thank you ma'am"

See? There are many reasons to celebrate life, you just have to search for it.

"Your shift's between 6pm-12am here's your uniform, your starting salary is 350 pesos, I will pay also your tuition fee"

"Really ma'am? Wow thank you very much"

The fortune cookie was right, I should apply at a restaurant, luck has find its way, I'm really blessed

"You will start tomorrow"

"Okay ma'am thank you again"

sometimes life will drag you down to know yourself and your worth and when you do, life will lift you up in the highest peek of your life,

Happily walking through the streets until...

"Pokemon! Gotta catch them all!"

A boy rushing through the streets singing the tune of Pokemon's theme song
Upon seeing that boy, I noticed that he had something in his feet but its not important anymore cause I've got the job,
And tomorrow is a brand new day for me,

"June!!!"
A large growling voice coming from nowhere hit my ears so bad,

"Huh?"
And at the very lit part of the street was my aunt and her ever annoying daughter who is a spoiled little brat,

"Where did you go?"
"I was applying a part time job"
"Do you have a couple of bucks there?"

Oh! The magic word again!

" I don't have any money,"
and I whispered "You've just took my allowance for the whole week yesterday"

"What? What did you say?"

"Ah nothing"
"I thought you said something"

And I turn my back on them saying
"I will go home"

Suddenly tear falls into my eyes without noticing, as I remember tomorrow was dad's death anniversary, synchronized with my tears are the raindrops falling through,

I hate rain, I don't know why but I hate it,
Rain splattered all over my uniform, and so my tears too
And you know what I like about rain?

"I love walking in the rain cause no one can see me crying"

Hear that quote from the famous charlie chaplin, you know the silent movie guy, love that guy,

As I wipe the raindrops on my face, I see what I call home
Home without the endless laughter
Home without happy ever after
Just a regular home,

As expected, there's no one hear except the void which where I slumber and a deafining silence

"As usually Aunt Marie was at her friend's house playing on a regular basis of poker"

I proceeded to my room change into my pajamas, lit a candle in front of my dad's picture and in the silence I pray,

And after that going into a deep slumber
