I’m Only Yours 2

My college life still went on. Jess still made fun of me, and I just ignored him. One day, when I returned home from school, my mom was really sick. She was trying to say something but couldn’t really talk. I started panicking and called the doctor. Doctor didn’t told me what was going on with mom, but instead he told me to call my dad, or any relatives. He told me that I was too young to know what was going on. Mom never really told me about any of my relatives. I didn’t know who to call. I asked mom, and she finally managed to say, "call Josh". I had no idea who this Josh was but I decided to call him any way. I looked in my mom’s diary and found his number. I quickly dialed his number. When he answered it, I told him about my mom being sick. He sounded worried and he said that he would immediately be there. In about 2 hour he was there. Doctor told something to Josh in private, which made him even more concerned for mom. When he saw me, he hugged me tight. I was feeling awkward, but I was really worried for my mom so I didn’t really care. He then went towards mom, and said that everything will be okay but I saw something in my mom’s eyes which said that something was wrong. I saw the pain in my mom’s eyes and she started calling my name," Tersa, come...." I immediately ran toward her and said," mom don’t talk. You need rest and you will be fine". Mom tried to smile and continued her talking to Josh, while I was holding her hands really tightly. "I’m worried about Tersa, what will she do without me." I tried to say to her that I’m fine but then Josh blocked me and said, "I will be responsible for your daughter. I promise. I won’t let anything happen to you, and you are gonna be fine. Just don’t worry ". My mom smiled, then continued," I’m really lucky to have a friend like u. But I know that I’m gonna die. Thank u so much for talking the responsibility of my daughter. She is everything to me". I cried when mom said that and told her, "Mom, I love u too. You mean a lot to me. Please don’t leave me". Mom’s eyes were sparkling and she said," where ever I will be, you will always be in my heart. We will definitely meet, if not in this life then in heaven. Just promise me that u will be a good girl". Mom sounded really tired so I promised it to her and told her to sleep. I watched her sleeping. She was so beautiful, and she seemed to be just perfect, and how could God do that to her. I watched her the whole night. I hadn’t gone to college for like 2 days. Mom was getting worse every day. I was really sad and it felt like these were the worse day of my life but I guess life had more to offer. I loved mom a lot, but why did God have to do this to me. It’s so hard to live without her. My mom died in a Sunday afternoon. With her the light of my life just went away. Josh took me to his house where his wife was really nice to me. Linda, Josh’s wife, said that because of me, she now had a perfect family. She already had a son, who was like 2 years older then me, and he too was really glad to have me in his family. They loved me like I was really part of their own family.

This was my first day of college in this new place. I was getting really nervous and I was kind of girl who was like hard to get along with people. I hoped that I will have frens. As I was thinking about this kind of things and walking through my locker. I accidently felled on top of a really cute guy. He hair was light brown and his eyes were hazel. He was staring at me, and I was staring back at him. I was some how attracted to him even though I didn’t wanted to be but I guess I just couldn’t stop it. My heart started beating really fast. This guy was doing something really strange to me. I soon realized that this wasn’t right and I remembered what I had told my mom, Linda. By the way I call her mom, since she has been there for me after my actual mom. Well, I had told mom that I’m never gonna be able to love someone or trust someone cause of what my real dad did to my mom. So she had told me that she will help me find my Mr. Right. And I had told her that I will never be able to fall in love with anyone. After pushing my thoughts aside, I immediately got up and so did he.

"I’m sorry", he started the conversation but I wasn’t sure what he was sorry about.
"Sorry for what?" I asked curiously.
"For staring at u and making you feel awkward". I gave him a big smile, and he stared saying," do you know, when you smile, your whole face starts to shine, and gives you a really tempting look. You should keep on smiling". With that I gave him another smile. I started staring at him again and said, "well, you are the one who is tempting me to stare at u". He smiled and introduced himself to me," I’m Micheal".
"Tersa".
"Nice to meet you".
"Same here".
"You seem to be new here".
"I am".
"That’s great. I can like show u around". He then grabbed my hand and showed me around. Though I was feeling awkward, I didn’t wanted to let go of his hand.

Unfortunately, we only had 2 classes in common but that was okay. During our lunch hour, I was sitting alone when he joined me. I just couldn’t help but smile. I guess he noticed me blushing but he still was sitting beside me.
"So, do you like the school?" he started asking.
"Its fine" I said a little nervously. Whenever he was near me, he started giving me this weird feelings and I soon realized that people were staring at us. "Why are they staring at us?" I asked in a low voice so that only Micheal could hear it.
"You are something who everyone wants to stare at", he joked.
"I don’t think I am that pretty", I tried to sound sarcastic.
"You indeed are. Not just pretty, there is something else about u that makes people attracted towards you." I gave him a soft laugh and asked, " And what is that something else?"
"The look in your eyes". He seemed serious like he meant everything he said. He was slowly moving towards me. His lips nearly touched mine when I realized that the lunch hour was over. He just gave me a smile, and went back to his class, and so did I. But I just couldn’t stop thinking about him and what he said. His words seemed to some how work on me. I never thought I was that pretty but he kept on making me feel special. I was feeling kind of odd being towards him. We had the last class together, which gave me this strange feelings in my stomach.
