I was nothing short of flabbergasted. As in, "How did she know my name?" "Well, I am famous, maybe a teeny bit to famous (in the wrong way though), but that doesn't mean that every person I meet knows me—moreover a wonderfully beautiful damsel like this one. I was ready to bet my life that this babe and I had no connection at all. Before I could continue ravishing in my thoughts, the sobbing beauty puzzledly asked,
"Don't you know me?"
"... I was lost for words.
"I am Lindsey," she hopingly replied.
My mind was in no less a mess; I was at a total loss. None of this made sense at all. Ok, fine. I know you're beautiful, but can you just not be an attention seeker? Pftt!! Me, know you! I can pretty sure it is the first time I'm seeing your face- Wow!! You must be so brazen, to even go an extra mile of getting acquainted with me, but am sure I know the reason now - haha!! You want to fuck'n have a sling with me, then that's very much appreciated.
"Can't you recall me? It's me, your Lin, from back then in Middle School," she still puzzledly asked.
I was stunned, totally stunned. The fuck, it could not be Lin, she had gone forever beyond my reach. I clutched my chest, my emotions were in disarray, my whole intellect was seething, as if metal exposed to acid. I swear that time stilled at that moment. Maybe he was wrong, maybe she was not right, she just didn't know. My intuition flared, I had gotten the gist of everything. As in the devil's name, my first crush had come, a belle I so much wanted to talk to.
My memories surged as my emotions regressed. My parents were alive back then when we met. Life was no less exciting, the love, the care, everything was thorough. I can't believe that at one point I thought our family of three would never be separated. But hell I was wrong, it was Christmas Eve, I was alone at home, waiting for them to come back; but they never did. Up to now, I don't want to know what really happened to them but I don't think I need to anyway. Because all in all I was orphaned.
Then Lin's parents took me in; they were all I needed from a parent just that they still weren't my parents. Lin and I connected, though she had a twin sister who was eerily quiet. I fell for both of them; particularly their personalities. Coco was calm, Lin was jumpy and everything added up; shouted out awesomeness to my childish mind then.
But I knew that it was in the wildest of my dreams to even think of dating any. All was fine, relatively fine until it happened; I was left alone, dumped and left to fend for myself. It had happened, I was abandoned once again; as if it were my fate.
