A promise for a rose

Seeing you again

Hope

"I don't want you to leave" I say with teary eyes. She looks at me and nods her head taking my hand in hers.
"I don't want to go either" she says as our eyes met. She sighs and gently strokes my hand. Our fingers were so small yet they fitted so perfectly.

"But we will met again soon" I sniff and wipe away a fallen tear.
"How?"
"Well my mommy and daddy said that we are flying over the ocean, so I'll get the fishy's to help me to get to you" I giggle.

"What if the fishy's are mean?" She smiles.
"I'll find the nice fishy's" she squeezes my hand.
"And when we met again we will get married" I laugh.
"When?"
"When what?"
"When will we get married?" She puts her free hand on her chin and thinks.

"When we are 26!" We both giggle.
"Where would we get married?"
"Somewhere nice" I smile and she smiles back. I don't want her to go, I didn't want to lose her.
"Can I have a goodbye kiss?" I say and she nods her head slightly. I've never kissed someone and I'm not sure how to do this but I'll do my best.

I close my eyes and give her lips a 10 second peck. I don't think we did that properly. She laughs
"Don't worry when we are older we will have practiced kissing each other" we share a loving smile.

"You are my sun, my world, my love we will forever be together. Our souls as one, for now I must leave but don't be sad we will met again but for now, I love you hope" I pull her into a hug and we hold onto each other for as long as we have.
"I love you too"

"SWEETHEART ITS TIME TO GO!" Her dad shouts and we break our hug. She gives me one more soft smile before kissing my cheek and standing up.
"Our journey will not end" she turns around but I grab her hand.

"Promise" she looks at me.
"A rose for a promise" she says giving my hand one more squeeze and walking away. We were so young yet my heart chattered as I watched her leave.

"Hope!" I snap out of my daydream and look at Charlene.
"We're you even listening?"
"No sorry"
"Aww honey leave her she is probably thinking about her new school" Bruce says smiling as he looked at me through the rear view mirror.

I give him a soft smile before looking out the window again.
"My angel, this year and next is going to be big for you" I watch the passing trees wishing I could just go back home and back to my old school.
"We should of taken you here sooner but we only got you in now"

"Okay" I say sighing.
"Hope are you alright?" Charlene turns around in the front seat to look at me.
"Yeah I'm fine"
"Now angel don't lie to me" I sigh.
"I don't want to go" I say and she smiles.

"I know it's tough moving to a new school but think of it this way, this school will add to your life more than the other couldn't. In this school you could really become what you are"
"A monster?" Charlene huffs.
"No hope, a beautiful creature"
"That's worse" I say crossing my arms.

"Fine a beautiful, young, loving monster" I laugh.
"Good one honey" Bruce laughs taking Charlenes hand in his.
"On the plus side hope, Sophie will be joining the same school with you" I don't say anything. I love Sophie she was my first best friend in Rosemore high but over time I think we have grown apart in certain things.

When I came out when I was 15 Sophie was taken by surprise but was still supporting, that's what I thought. Sure she didn't pick on me for my sexuality but she did try and be best friends with Bella. I hate that bitch. Sophie was obsessed with Bella, she was like a little annoying puppy that would follow Bella around everywhere.
