My destiny

I ran as fast as I can, I stopped to hide behind a tree, my heart was beating hundreds beats per second. Then I got down on my knees and elbows start to craw across the grass lightly but Leo shot me on the back, it made me jump, I was all wet. I knew that I have to get him and Sally back; it was how our game used to be. Suddenly my mum calls "stop playing and come in for your dinner I was always scared of my mum. That was one of the mid-afternoons where three of us were together. We grew up together me, Sally and Leo, you could say that I was the oldest out of us three, then its Leo he's not far younger than me though, we look after Sally like she was our little sister. We lived in the same neighborhood that's why we were never parted, but Leo and Sally study in the same class, I have always wished that I could study with Sally but it was never possible because I was older than Sally by two years.

Five years later, we've all grown up but our child-like bond will never disappear, we've stop playing shooting guns, we decided to focus on our study a bit more but we would still have fun like the old days. I would used to meet Leo then we would bike to Sally's house to pick her up for school. Sometimes we even go to eat breakfast before going to class. It is the same at the end of school we would meet outside the school gate and bike home together on the way we shared each other laughter of the day. Both of them would come round my house if they were struggling with their homework, it was enjoyable helping my two best friends. After the study if I was pleased with their study I would used to treat them for ice cream from a small café ten minutes away from our house. Although with all the happy times I had with them there still was a sting right at the bottom of my heart, which I couldn't understand so I would used to sit by the tree up in the hill. Sometimes I would spent all my afternoons there and think through my problems. That's when I beginning to realize my feelings for Sally wasn't strong like before but my love towards her, they are incredible, I have never felt anything like it but I know that she only looked at me upon a big brother.

It has been two years and my feeling for her hasn't changed, I know that I have committed a sin but these feelings I can't get rid off, they are nailed into my heart. One day, I come home from school like any other day, mum said she wanted to talk to me urgently. Why do I feel this wasn't going to be good news? She told me that our family is going to migrates to Europe, suddenly I couldn't breath there's a blockage in my lungs, and my heart stopped beating. I knew that I could never spend time with Sally again; it just killed me thinking about it, it can't be I just can't accept the cause of this pain. No! I said to myself I had to tell her how I feel or I will never have another chance, so that day I went to her house, I took her to my favorite place and confessed my love. She was very quiet through my confession which extremely worried me, but then she moved her lips, she said "Liam, I have feelings for you¦ (At that point I wanted to kiss her but then I realized she wasn't finished)¦ "And Leo too, I just can't make up my mind between you and Leo, I'm confused. Why do I feel my heart has been stabbed twice in one day? My anger raged from inside of me, I turned my back and ran as fastest I have ever run. "Liam, where are you going? asked Sally. "I just need to be alone I answered, I didn't know where I was heading to but it didn't flash through my mind. That night I came home at an unusual time but I wasn't particular interested how the world is passing me by. Mum has been worried though I can see it in her facial expressions, "where have you been? And why have you been drinking? she stubbles with confusedness. I tried to stand up straight as I answer but it didn't worked I fell flat to the ground.

A week later, we were at the airport for departure Leo and Sally came to see me off. That day was the last time I could ever see her beautiful face again, I held her in my arms so tight that she couldn't even breathe as I remembered she cried a little and I said bye to Leo. I had terrible homesick, this is a first time I have ever been parted from my two best friends and now they are thousands of miles away. I remembered my heart was so cold and my feelings were dead, I couldn't care less where my life was heading. My mums always say to me "the sun will be bright after every rain falls this has never made any sense to me until now. This moment where I feel like I have been re-born into the new society, I was determined to make a new start. Day after day I was ok. But I was wrong over the past couple of years I have never forgotten Sally's smile the way she laughed, my world will never be bright till I have her into m arms.

I returned home after three years, the neighborhoods hasn't changed much but I was surprised by how human's feelings have vanished in such a short time. It was good to be home, everyone welcomes me home with their love for my parents, walked down the alley where I grew up just made my eyes irrupt for tears and I'd really wish things could be how it used to be. Was my eye sight tricking on me? I asked myself as I stood looking in Sally's house, Leo was there but not just there he was hugging Sally. She did it, she ripped my heart into pieces, there's nothing that I could say to her even after all these years. I turned my back and walked away, suddenly I heard Sally called my name "Liam, is that you? I put all my effort to turn around and smile to her. I can tell she was very happy to see me, I was too but not with Leo though. We talked that entire day just about everything really, I felt uncomfortable when she told me about her and Leo. She told me a story about a year and a half ago, she was in a car accident where her injury was life risking and Leo was there day and night looking after her in the hospital, because of Leo's courage that her body fights for death. She told me she has never had anyone that loved her in that way, she felt protective and over joy by Leo's loved, and that's when she knew he was the one. If she think this wasn't enough for me to take in one day, next thing she asked me was "would you come to our wedding day? It would be a pleasure to have you there big brother. I put on this great smile but under the surface deep down I was crying like a baby like when it has lost its toy.

That night I went to visit my oldest friend in the world, the only one could never hurt me, my tree, it was different it has gotten older and more wrinkly. Was I going crazy? I was telling a tree my love life and how it has ended up tragically. I laughed at myself. The big day has arrived and god she looked beautiful as she never looked before, I often snapped myself out of my own little world. I came to congratulate them, my two best friends in the world on the day of their wedding. I have thought it through and I couldn't be happier for Sally now that she has found someone could be with her for the rest of her life. I know I could never do that. After that day I came back to England and carried on with my own life and left Sally's life to Leo.
