Ann's alarm clock buzzed for what felt like the hundredth time as she rolled over to the side of her bed with her eyes shut trying to make out where the alarm clock was on the table next to her bed in order to put it off as she adjusted the duvet which had slipped down her body back. She was about to get back to bed when she suddenly felt the sun ray on her face.
"It's time to wake up" Troy said as he pulled off the sheets covering Ann while standing next to her bed, awaiting her to wake up but then Ann pulled back the sheets while troy also pulled it away from her, this time heheld it in her hands not leaving its on the bed.
"You're so going to be late for your flight if you don't get up from the bed right now" Troy warned. Ann lazily dragged herself out of bed as she rubbed the remaining sleep off her face.
"Good morning love" Troy said as he kissed her
"Good morning" Ann replied in a sleepy voice.
"I will make breakfast, so you can eat something before leaving"Troy said, before walking out of the room.
"Thanks baby" Ann replied
She and Troy recently started living together few months ago after they both decided it was time they took their relationship to the next level. As the thoughts of her leaving today crept in her head. She wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel but a part of her was happy she was finally going to be able to leave ohio for the first time since she had been given birth too but the other part was scared of the unknown and how much she was going to miss everyone. Her parents, friends, even though she didn't have so much apart from a few she went to college with and her boyfriend. Every one she had ever known lived here.
Lost in her thoughts as she brushed her teeth slowly, she noticed the eye bags that had formed beneath her eye in the mirror placed above the sink. She had spent all night out partying with troy who was perfectly fine with the idea of his girlfriend studying miles away because he had told her he wanted to support her dreams and he knew how much the graduate scholarship meant to her and wouldn't want to be the reason she stayed back. He was such a fine, gentleman and she always talked about how lucky she was to have found him.
Her coffee brown eyes were fixated on the mirror as she combed out her curly long black hair which she had inherited from her mother. Sometimes she hated how much the curls tangled and sometimes she loved it for the fact that she could style it in different ways. While she combed her hair out she noticed the pimple that had miraculously grew beneath her face overnight as she touched her smooth baby like face to see if she could pop it away because she hated when she had anything on her ever smoth face. Her face was her favourite part of her body, she loved how long her lashes were, her heart shaped face and pointed nose with a full lips. She loved her face so much and hated when anything foreign appeared on it. She also loved the fact that it diverted people from her being a 5'5 and she felt kind of petite but it was troy's favourite thing about her.
Ann hurried to pick up the last piece of clothing in her box as she wore a blue Jean and a top quickly, it was her favourite piece of clothing and it was very comfortable too.
Ann was done packing as she made her way out to the kitchen which was just a stone throw from the room. She and troy lived in a two bedroom apartment. It was a decent place for the two of then, quite affordable and homely too. Ann walked slowly towards were troy was in the kitchen as she wrapped her hands around him gently from behind giving him a back hug.
"I am going to miss you so much" Ann muttered. Troy turned to look at her as he faced her direction. He knew he was also going to miss her alot, he knew he wanted her to stay back, to not go, to be here but that would be holding her back and he didn't want that. He wanted to give her a chance to actualise her dreams. This was all she ever talked about from the first day they met and he really wanted it for her.
"I am going to miss you even more sweetheart" he said as he brushed the hair on her face to the back of her ear. He was Ann's dream come true, a perfect gentleman. Tall, handsome with his brown eyes and perfectly groomed hair and he also had the perfect body with a broad chest and shoulders.
"I want you to always remember that I love you, I love you so much and no matter what difficulty we get into. I know this isn't going to be easy but no matter how hard it get. I want you to know our love will conquer all" Troy explained as she wrapped her hands around him and his eyes remained fixated on her. "I love you too and I know we will make this work"Ann agreed. They had spent three years together since college. They had planned their whole life together so how bad can a year and some months apart be like. It couldn't be so hard, they thought.
"And always remember to facetime anytime you're free, I will do the same any time I am on breaks at work too and I will visit when I can" Troy said.
"I promise, I will and I will visit too" Ann said as she reached out for the toast behind troy. "We should go now" she said as she ate the toast.
"Yeah, it's almost time for your flight to take off. I will just get a shirt to put on" Troy said as Ann brought her bags out the door to put it into Troy's car. He had just been gifted a car by his dad after college and his parents felt it was going to make his commuting easier. Troy dragged Ann's boxes behind her as she walked beside him trying to locate where she was supposed to go to next and when she finally got a hang of it. It was time to go on board and time for Troy to leave.
"I love you okay and" Troy said pausing for a minute.
"And what" Ann asked curiously.
"And I love you" Troy said as he pulled Ann into a hug. He then released his hands from him before kissing her on the lips and forehead.
"I love you too" Ann said as she stared at Troy hoping they really will make it work. Before she could say anything else there was an announcement that her plane was going to leave soon so she had to go.
"Bye, love" she said as she walked away while making several glances back at Troy till he was out of sight.
"Bye, sweetheart" Troy muttered as she walked away.
"I hate love"!!I screamed as tears streamed down my face and my voice echoed back. "I looked around me waiting to see if anyone was going to pass by. I looked back into the depths of the sea and I became so anxious as I held her out about to throw her in it....." "She had practically broken me, she had made me loose my sanity,it was all her!!! She was the reason for my unending cries,sorrow and why I hate the world so much!!!" As I was about throwing her in it I suddenly heard a strange voice....... Zeena,your average girl, she was one that loved with all she had and didn't mind what she lost while loving till the point where she lost herself.
