《Love At The End》Chapter 7: Fading
Advertisement
We were walking around the house, and I'll admit it's a pretty good house. None of us said anything. "So how's home school like?". Finally.
"Well.., it's the usual, boring kinda, you don't get to interact a lot but at least I'm close to home". He looks at me.
"What". I ask. "Well I can't survive home school" Am I really that surprised. "I am kinda like an interactive kind of guy". We laughed. "So how's your high school like?".
"Crazy, you meet a lot of People everyday, some weird people in fact". I hum.
"Now tell me about you, what kind of people do you like"
"Well, I like people who are truthful, kind, honest especially about opinions and cool"He smiles.
"What kind of person do you like"
"You". We look at each other for a while.
"Huh".
"What I meant to say was, people like you are special, hurt but they keep it in. People like you are strong, and I like it" My head was kinda swelling.
We continued to walk, then I heard a buzz from my phone.
Liz, where are you?, It's 6. What are you guys doing?. And p.s. Uncle John is here.
Then I realized that it was actually. 6:12. I can't believe we've been here almost all day.
On my way.
"Who was it". Ethan asks. "It was Nita, my Uncle is at home".
"Oh" he looked disappointed. I felt bad. "Let me drive you home". I nodded
He dropped me home. He came down from the car. We walked to the front door. "Thank you".
"For what". His eyes glittering.
"For being a good listener". He puts his hands on my shoulder. "I just want you to know that I'm here for you if you need to talk". He then pulled me in for a hug.

"So, I guess you might be going now".
"No, I still want to see your Uncle". I nodded, like that was the only thing I have been doing.
We walk in, Uncle John, Nina, Nita and Manny were watching a movie. They didn't look worried at all like I expected. Nina turned back and looked at me and Ethan. "Liz, welcome". Nina came and hugged me. My Uncle stood up. I was expecting a ' where have you been or who is this guy '.
"Hello, John" He brought out his hand, he shook it. "Hello sir, in Ethan".
"Ethan would you like to stay for dinner". I gave him a please don't look.
"I would love to, but I need to go home, maybe some other time". I'm glad he understands.
"Alright, drive safely". My Uncle says.
"Nice to meet you". He looks at me. "Bye Liz". "Bye". He turns around and drives away. "There's something about that boy, he seems trustworthy". My Uncle says. A smile forms on my face.
Uncle John and Manny left an hour ago. Nita, Nina and I went up to our room. I cleaned my bed, and turned and saw them staring at me.
"What". They give me a weird look. "Okay, what's going on".
"You aren't gonna tell us the details".
I sit on my bed. "Nothing actually happened, we talked, and I kinda told him about our parents, but actually, his Abuela died that night. Then we.."
"We what?". Nina asked.
"Nothing".
"Come on Liz, no secrets".
I let out a sigh. "We almost kissed okay". They both squeal.
"Let's just go to bed". I said climbing my bed.
"Ok, future Mrs Newman". Nita giggled. I let it slide. It was almost a kiss, and really, I'm not sure his interested in me anyways.

I got up. I saw my mom and dad wearing white, I think they were in a wedding. I saw Uncle Dale and Aunt Yvonne, then I saw Uncle George and Aunt Charlotte, sitting with a baby. Where I was I couldn't move, I was stuck. But I had a clear image of what was going on. I saw Uncle John and Manny. They we're getting married. I tried moving but I couldn't, suddenly everything faded, it turned into fog, after it cleared, they were gone. I started calling out for my mom and dad or anyone, but no one was there. I saw Nina and Nita playing. I called out but they couldn't hear me. The fog came again and they were gone. What is happening. But then I saw Ethan. I called his name, he was walking towards me. Then the fog came again, I was expecting him to go with the fog, after it cleared up, he was still walking towards me. He some how grabbed my leg and let it out. I hugged him then I turned around and saw everyone smiling. Including my parents, they had the wildest smile. But then Ethan started calling me. "Liz, Liz, Liz.."
I opened my eyes and saw Nita waking me up. "Argh". I screamed. She screamed back. "What is going on, why'd you wake me up so early".
"Well, you were calling out Ethan's name, are you okay, were you dreaming of him". I jump out of my bed. "What no!, I wasn't dreaming of him".
"Why are you guys doing, don't you know it's seven in the morning?". Nina uses her blanket to cover her face. She doesn't like to be woken up that early.
"Yes, please let's go to sleep". I climbed my bed.
About Two hours later, we woke up. I was the one cooking breakfast, so, I just did some waffles and syrup with freshly squeezed orange juice. "Nina, please help me with the waffles". "Coming".
We ate and ate. We talked about our family members, I told them about my dream. We talked about my dad's awful singing when he was baking. We talked about Aunty Charlotte. We laughed and laughed. We wondered what life would be like if we were going to regular school. Until, Uncle John runs in.

The Kiss of Two Moons
The last year is upon us. The world is ending, but you already knew that; everyone does. Spring has come, and the flowers have bloomed here in this small town with no name. Thousands of different colours now paint the field that had been coloured by frost alone just yesterday. The townsfolk have gathered by the field to celebrate the beginning of the last spring with so many smiling faces. Tears too. I can’t help but wonder whether the flowers will bloom again before the sky falls upon us. Others must be thinking the same. There are moments when the smiles fade and their eyes glaze over as they realize just how near to the end we are. They forget it again in moments. They make themselves forget. The children aren’t like that, though. They don’t seem to understand, or they’ve come to accept it in a way that their parents just can’t manage to. This one boy actually asked me why I was sad. I had to wonder whether he was actually aware that the world is ending, but it seemed wrong to mention it. I ended up just telling him that I was waiting for someone, and he scampered off, wearing a silly smile. I can’t help but feel jealous of him. The beginning of next spring; the day that the world ends. It seems so far away, yet so close. Wherever you are now, I have to ask, how are you spending your last spring? Did you get to see the flowers bloom? Did you smile? Did you cry?
