Rewrite The Stars

Zabdiel Rodriguez

I'm in my room when I receive a message from my mom and dad that I need to go home.

The doctor said that I can go home for now.

But why?? Did mom and dad send me this emergency text??

What happened??

I pack my stuff inside my bag and when I'm ready I wait outside the center.

"Going home huh??" Jayson smile.

"yeah! Thanks for everything" I smile back.

Jayson is an assistant doctor here. He's an intern and he's going to finish studying Psychology.

An hour later Dad's car pulls over in front of me.

He opens the door for me and smile.

I put my things at the back of the car.

I get inside the passenger seat and dad starts to drive.

"why do you want me to come home that fast dad did you guys miss me already??" I smile.

"yes! Also, we need you to attend a memorial service at your school" Dad sigh.

"Memorial service?? Who died??" I ask.

Dad is silent and I didn't even bother to ask him again.

I mean why would they let me attend this memorial service if I don't know that person right??

And then my heart beats faster.

Please don't let it be Addison.

Please don't let it be him.

We stop as the traffic lights turn red.

And now I'm nervous.

I'm scared.

Tears fall from my eyes as we drive on our way home.

We arrive home and mom hugs me tight as soon as I enter the house.

"I've missed you so much!" Mom smile.

"I miss you too mom" I smile back.

I get inside my room and I see a letter on my bed.

It's from Addison.

I open the letter and start reading it.

Zabdiel Rodriguez,

I will always love you no matter what.

You're my first love.

You're the first boy who made me feel special.

You're the best thing that's ever happened in my life.

My life is a rainbow, but you added more colors to it.

Before you all I can see in this world is tragedy and you came along and now I'm hoping that the world is far from tragedy.

Ever since you came into my life Zabdiel you're the only one that matters.

I just want you to know that your flaw won't stop me from loving you.

Because if you love someone you have to take them as they are.

This is not goodbye Zabdiel I know that.

Someday soon we'll meet again.

Love, Addison

I smile and cry as I hug the letter tight.
I Love you Addison.. I always have and I always will.

I lay on my bed hugging the letter until I fall asleep.
