SHERRY'S P.O.V.
Well, the school has already passed me, and so did my birthday. It's still my birthday for next couple of hours though, but it's not long enough for Andy coming home to me. It's 10 pm. Even if the plain from DC took off right now, he would be here right after midnight. It means tomorrow. Well, I gotta deceive myself that I don't really mind...
The whole day I spent locked in my bedroom, staring outside through the window, waiting for the door to open with Andy standing here in front of me. I just watched those yellow and brown leaves falling on the ground quietly, with completely no sound, staring at them in disbelief and hoping that everything will turn out well and I will be finaly able to kiss the guy of my life and never let him go. I'll keep him forever, and even longer. I swear...
„Sherry! Are you still locked up in your bedroom? Don't you wanna do something? You can't be up there all day long. Come oon! It's your birthday!" my Mom shouted from the living room downstairs. „Of course I can. I will. There really isn't anything better to do." I replied. Even though I tried to make myself sound totaly fine, like nothing was going on, the reply was coming out of me with no emotions, it was... Empty. All my emotions were stuck in one place. And we all know where it is...
„Sherry! You really should call some friends and hang out, you really can't be up there all the time! Or at least come down and join us. We're watching TV." my Mom still kept on calling me down and being upset, and my brother Dominic joined her too, so I decided to leave this house and go for a really, REALLY long walk. If nothing will get better, than it at least will blow all those destructive thoughts outta my head. They're consuming me up from within and I can't take it anymore, I'm unfortunately not strong enough for this. I don't have any source of strenght, and I feel like the weight of whole this world was down on my shoulders. Such a terrible feeling... Okay, enough of that. I slowly opened the door and walked downstairs. „Mom, I'm going out." I said, turning my head towards her. „When are you gonna come back?" „I dunno..." I said already opening the front door. „Goodbye." I said and shut the door.
I looked down to my feet, so I didn't stumble on some shitty rock fallen on the ground. As I was watching the ground, I suddenly saw a sign on the driveway. The sign was written with a snow white chalk, and the sign was saying: „Happy Birthday! Come in this direction, so I could say that I'm..." and a huge white arrow at the end. I just lifted my eyebrows and stared at it for a while. Should I follow it or... Or shouldn't I... Well, It won't cost me anything If I'll find out who's making an idiot out of me once again.
I went towards the direction the arrow was pointing to. I was watching the pavement. Soon, as I was walking slowly, I found another sign: „...really sorry...", my eyes started watering a bit and my heart was racing really f*cking fast. Than I found another sign: „...And I...", and another: „...have to say, that...", and after a few more meters, the last one: „...I love you..." I held my head up and I couldn't really believe my eyes.
„Andy?" I said in desbelief. He was standing there, staring at me with that gorgeous smile - the I fell in love with - and with roses in his hand. „Sherry, I'm so incredibly sorry, you can't even imagine how sorry I am! I love you more than anything in this world and I..." I would let him talk for hours, days, or even weeks, but I finally wanted to get what I was dreaming of for years and I completely deserved. „Stop it..." I ran towards him, jumped on him and kissed him. Boom! And there it was. „I love you too, Andy. More than anything. You really didn't have to be afraid." I told with happy tears running down my face. Andy looked deep into my brown eyes and I felt butterflies flying all over my stomach once again. For the first time since he left. He lifted me and tossed me around. „You're my everything..." Andy whispered softly in my ear. He put me down on the ground and handed me bouquet of roses with a sweet grin appearing on his face. „So could we start once again?" „I'm all yours..." I took and smelled the roses and looked at Andy. He started kissing me and I wanted that moment to last until forever is through. And even so much longer. All this pain can finally pack it's stuff and get lost somewhere far. FAR away from me. Far away from US. I need to finally realize It's no longer just ME. I've reached the thing I've been begging for a thousand years. And you know I'm gonna fuckin' enjoy it!
„By the way, happy birthday, sweetheart... I love you.."
