* 18+* *** We had been laying here in my bed, for what felt like an eternity. Me with my head on his chest, and him running his fingers through my hair. “Xandru, I’m scared!” I said just above a whispered. “Of what, babe?” He replied. His voice just above a whisper. “We’ll be graduating in two weeks. By fall we’ll be going in totally different directions. What will happen to us?” I took a deep breath. Feeling the tears prickling in my eyes, and the lump forming in my throat. “I’m not ready to let you go just yet!” I whispered. My voice breaking. “I don’t think I ever will!” Barely able to finish the sentence. *** Brielle Castillo has always had a rough life.
