I was driving like I used to do in a dark yet peaceful night when suddenly, my phone rings, I answered it.
“Y-your girlfriend g-got shot”
I hurriedly go to the hospital as my mother say where my girlfriend is.
I run in the hallway and the first thing I saw is my girlfriend covered in blood. My tears shredded as soon I saw her dying.
She pulled my shirt towards her mouth and then she whispered…
“P-promise me that you’ll live your life happy without me, I love you”
“I promise” My answer while my tears falls.
She smiled.
Our memory for years flashes in my eyes like a wind.
That is the last moment of my girlfriend.
A week passed.
I did everything just to live happily but I couldn’t, everything seems wrong without her, and I thought it was God’s fault.
I run outside…
“Fuck you, You’re no God! You’re just a bullshit” I shouted in angry tone.
Then i blinked
But when I open my eyes….
There is something wrong.
“Where the heck i am?!”
I looked around and then I realized I am backed 10 years ago when I haven’t meet my girlfriend yet, and I’m in my school.
I talked to myself. I’m Confused. Trying to figure out what is happening .
“What the heck is going on?”
Someone shouted from behind me.
“Hey are you okay?”
“What? Who is said that” I said in my brain
I look back then I saw it was Lucas, My best friend that time.
“LOL! The heck is the matter with you” He said while laughing
I answered..
“N-nothing dude. I’m okay.” I said while smiling as if nothing happened.”
“Aight dude, see ya!” he said and walked away.
------
The bell rings. And the class end.
I left the room and started walking way to my home where I used to live 10 years ago.
I was walking, and I looked to the other side of the road…
I SAW HER
My beautiful girlfriend Julia.
I didn’t notice I was already in tears. Feeling relieved because I saw her again like this.
I don’t have the guts to approach her or I’m afraid that she will be frighten, So I decided to just go home to our old house.

“Hey Liam can you pass the water?” My mom’s request
I didn’t hear it because I’m in deep thoughts about my girlfriend
“You’re spacing out, What’s the matter with you?” My mother asked in a bit worried tone.
“I’m all right mom, just a bit tired.” I said
At night.
I’m thinking of how should I tell my girlfriend that she is my girlfriend… or what if I make her fall for me again.
-----
I waked up, and i go to school like I would normally do 10 years ago.
----
My class ended normally.
After school I hurriedly go to the cafe, My girlfriend’s favourite cafe. Hoping that I will encounter her again.
I wait in the cafe.
After waiting for an hour she really came.
“One caramel machiato please.” She ordered
And 10 minutes have already past, I should think how to approach her. Think, Think, Think.
*Her handkerchief falls*
And I thought “Her handkerchief falls liam this is your perfect opportunity.”
I walked towards her.
“Excuse me miss” I asked
“Huh, Why” She replied.
“This handkerchief is it yours?” I said in calm and cool way.
“Y-yes, Thank you.” She said.
Then I smiled and said “My pleasure.”
------
I walked home with my big smile in my face. After all it is impossible to make someone to fall in-love in you in just 1 meeting.
One week have passed, I was doing things like I should normally do, Enjoying life with my friends at school, Fred, Michael, and the popular one Lucas. Everyday I always hangout at the Cafe de la paix, Julia’s favourite cafe, after school.I always wait there for an hour, but I didn’t see her even once this week.
Then I remember this should be the time when her boyfriend breaks up with her. Then I feel stupid how could I forget it this is the time when she nearly kill herself.
I think I know where she always go when she is sad, At the park where there is a big tree.
I rushed to go there. I see her, I see her crying at the swing.
I aproached her.
“Miss, you ok?”
“Go away”
“W-what?!”
“Just go away”
“Okay, but first let me tell you something, Deal?”
“Whatever”
“One day, a man saw a weird looking creature it has 3 eyes and 5 arms”
“So?”
“Now I have a question, what animal did he see?”
“i don’t know, What is it?”
“I don’t know, ask him yourself”
“Who?”
“The man, LOL!”
“HAHAHA your joke sucks”
“I know HAHAHA”
We spent minutes laughing together, then finally she introduces herself.
“btw, I’m Julia”
“Julia, what a beautiful name”
“Thank you, What’s yours?”
“Liam”
“Your name is quite cool too”
“LOL”
We laugh and spend time together and didn’t notice the time, when we realize the sun is setting, we watched the sunset together, a beautiful one, before going home.
“What a day!”
At night. I’m thinking of what I have accomplished today, what a day HAHA.
----
I woke up and go downstairs to eat breakfast, and my mom asked me.
“hey Liam, why are you acting a little bit weird this days, did something happen?”
“Nothing mom.”
“really?, maybe you got a girlfriend?”
“No, It’s nothing serious mom”
“Alright then”
----
Finally the class end. I can’t wait to see her again.
“There’s a beautiful girl at gate.” Just random murmur
“A beautiful girl?, Who’s that gonna be?”
Wait… I see someone waving at me. What the heck? It is Julia, is she the beautiful girl that they’re saying?.. Ofcourse she is. Wait… Is she waiting for me?.
“Heyyy!! Liam” She scream while waving.
Others look at me like some kind of worm, maybe they are wondering why such a beautiful girl is waiting for me HAHA. To be honest I am wondering too.
“Hey, are you waiting for me?”
“Yupp”
“Why?”
“Let’s go to my favourite cafe, Wait a minute…. Now that I have a closer look aren’t you the guy that I met at Cafe de la paix.”
“Y-yes”
What the heck she only realized it now. I see maybe that’s why she said to me last time to get lost, She didn’t recognize me HAHA.
----
We arrived at the cafe 5 minutes ago but damn why she isn’t saying a thing.
“uhmm”
I will gonna say something but she cuts me off
“Thank you for Comforting me last time”
“No worries”
“Sorry, I let you see something embarrassing yesterday”
So that’s why she is being quiet right now,
“I only do what everyone would do”
“But anyways thank you, and I’m just wondering if I could get your address or something.”
“Gladly, it is 4**********1”
“thanks, I will call you later, you better be ready!.” she said before leaving the cafe de la faix.
At night.
She really called me.
“Hello good evening, sorry for calling you late at night, hope i’m not being a hindrance”
“Nope, not at all, why did you anyway?”
“Uhmm, I’m just wondering if you wanna go out with me?”
I don’t know what the heck is happening so I said, “Huh, What do you mean?”
“Jeez, I’m asking if you wanna go out on date with me?”
“AHH!, Ofcourse I’d love to”.
“Alright then”
Then she hungs up.
“What the hell was that?!” I said. I’m so surprised and happy at the same time to the point that I punched my pillow with big smile in face. To the point that I felt tired, and I fell a sleep.
I dreamed about Julia, Our dates, anniversaries, and other good stuff. And suddenly. My dream changed to Julia’s dying face.
Pants … Pants …. Pants
My face was pale and sweaty, and I cannot back to sleep, so I stared at the ceiling and think for hours until I fell asleep.
----
Today is Thursday Two before Saturday (Date day) and i can’t sleep properly for the past day and I’ve been lacking sleep. Because of that nightmare I’ve been nervous every time I remember it. Hope I be okay.
-----
Friday morning, Today is Friday and I feel a bit better. Feeling confident and I hope nothing goes wrong because I feel excited and nervous at the same time.
-----
At night, We talked about the plan for tomorrow and apparently we are going to meet at the park at 9:00 am and continue to cinema and then shopping, It’s just your typical type of date.
I slept great.
-----
Saturday. Today is Saturday and today is my date.I slept perfectly with no issue hope today nothing goes wrong.
Right now is 8:30 and I’m on my way to our meet place, I wonder If I am too early. Hope she is doing okay.
Julia’s perspective
Right now is 10:30, Friday night, and tomorrow I have a date and I’m feeling excited hope nothings go wrong. Imma sleep now.
After 2 hours
Damnnnn … I can’t fall asleep at all.
After another hour
What the hell is happening?, Whyyyyyy?!
After another hour finally I fell asleep at exactly 1:30.
-------
Ring ….. Ring …. Ring… Ring
“Huh, What the hell?, What time is it now?, God damn it, it’s already 8:50 I’m gonna be late. Holy fuck”
----
God damnn it is already 9:10, It takes me 20 minutes to get ready and that is my fastest, I hope Lucas don’t get bored and go home, I’m on my way.
“Please, Please, Please”
Please wait for me, I’m realy close now.
“Whoa!, Hello beauty, Why the hurry?, Why don’t we go grab a drink” Says of some sort of annoying stranger.
“Go away!, I don’t have enough time to deal with you” I said and I proceed to walk ayaw.
And suddenly. Someone grabs and pull my wrist
“Whoa, Where do you you’re going girl?” The Stranger said while pulling my wrist.
“What the fuck is wrong with you? Let me go you pervert!” I said while trying to resist.
At that time I’m thinking of Lucas. “Help me, Lucas!” I said in my mind
And I heard a loud shout
And then I heard someone shouting.
“Let her go!”
Who?! is it Lucas?
