675 Words
It was the 26th of June, the night of the graduation of Paola, Bailey, Jessica, Matthew, Jason and many more students of the Alistair Academy. The flash from the photo camera of her mother, as well as from all the photographers around was bothering her a lot. Jason was holding a huge bouquet of red roses and he was waiting for her to get back to her place, she couldn't help and she turned to look at Matthew, Jessica was holding his hand, immediately she turned again to Jason who kissed her warmly and gave her the flowers. She still couldn't understand how calm he dealt with what he saw that night, he didn't shout, didn't fight, didn't say anything. Matthew just stood up and left while he sat in the chair looking the other way for her to put her clothes back. He accepted her explanation with almost no questions, telling her that he will try more and more to make her fall in love with him, that he will wait for her forever if necessary.
'Matthew Maclean' the Director said from the microphone, she looked at him walking towards the Director, tears were running on her face, next week him and Jessica would fly together to their University in the United Kingdom, to the other end of the world, he would study law and she would study interior design and they would spend three years together in the University. On the other hand, she signed already a contract with Eli Shaw and assigned herself in a private local University
'’Babe, babe..., Paola’' Said Jason for the fourth time. '’It's time for the group photos babe, come on'’
'’You are crying since yesterday'’ Bailey said when they were walking towards the big hall behind the gym of the school, everything looked marvelous, big balloons, ribbons hanging from everywhere and photographers all around for the Seniors of that night.
'’I would cry even more if you were leaving me as well B'’
'’I am not leaving you'’ Jessica replied fast, three years will pass and you won't even notice
Following the group photos as per the tradition they headed to the usual pub for drinks. After few drinks, Jason approached Matthew
‘'Maclean'’
‘'Hamilton'’
'’Man, I am really sorry for that night''
'’I already forgot about it, like never happened'’
'’You have quite short memory Maclean'’
‘’I don’t catch your drift man'’
'’Are you trying to start a new fight Jason? it's been very long time since that night, we all left it behind, even though you insulted Matthew and you owe him an apology’' Jessica said while she went in front of Matthew, talking to Jason as if she was his guardian.
‘'As I was saying, I am sorry for that night, for not breaking every f*****g bone you have piece of s**t'’
'’Man are you serious, after so many months?’' said Derek walking next to him getting ready to grab him before things would get out of control
'’I am not talking about that night Derek, Matthew knows very well the night am referring to'’
'’It's time to go Jase, you had more drinks that you should'’
'’No babe, I actually had as much as I should, to tell your stupid friend with who she is dating with for so long'’
'’Derek, please help me to get him in the car'’
'’Don't touch me'’ Jason screamed and in an effort to set free he pushed Paola who fell on the floor
'’Asshole’' yelled Matthew when Tom grabbed him
'’Am I the asshole Maclean? It's you and your whole damn family! Did you tell Jessica what you and Paola did in her room? Did you?'’
'’What did you do in Paola's room Matthew? What is he talking about?'’
‘'Don't you see he is drunk?'’
'’Were you not kissing Paola while she was half naked? were you not? asshole? coward? will you deny it? ha?'’
'’Is he telling the truth Paola?, stop staring at me this way, is he telling the truth?'’
'’Yes'’
'’f*****g w***e’' Jessica screamed and slapped Paola while she run towards the exit
'’Matthew better go after her, I don't know what she will do’' Bailey said and looked at him pleadingly.
