MI AMOR

Beep!...... beep!....... beep!....... The alarm clock blared, jolting Jade Smith awake on the big day. She jumped out of bed with excitement, ready to embark on a journey that birthed a new chapter of her life. The sound of laughter and chatter filled the dorm as her friends gathered to celebrate. They took pictures, exchanged hugs, and shed a few happy tears. The journey wasn't always easy, but with hard work and determination, she made it to this moment.

As Jade walked across the stage to receive her diploma, she felt a mix of emotions, relief, and a tinge of sadness knowing that this chapter was coming to an end. But as Jade looked out at the sea of smiling faces, she knew that the future held endless possibilities. Graduation day marked the beginning of a new adventure, and she couldn't wait to see where life would take her next. The next day, as she made her way downstairs, Jade noticed a letter on the kitchen table. she opened it, and to her surprise, it was from her mom. In her usual quiet manner, she had written that Jade needed to travel to Spain to check on her sister. Her heart skipped a bit as she read the words, realizing that this journey would take her to a whole new country, filled with unknown adventures and the chance to reconnect with family. Excitement and curiosity filled Jade's mind as she started to plan her trip. Little did she know that this unexpected journey would bring about unforgettable experiences, cherished memories, and a deeper bond with her sister. The unknown was both thrilling and nerve-wracking, but Jade was ready to face whatever came her way. Jade arrived in Spain and couldn't wait to see her sister. She tried calling her, but her number wasn't going through. Panic started to set in as she dialed her number again and again, desperately hoping for a response. Ten missed calls later, her heart sank. What if something had happened to her? She asked herself, Just as fear began to consume Jade, she remembered something. Before leaving for Spain, her mom had slipped an envelope into the inner zip of her handbag. With trembling hands, Jade reached inside and found the address to her sister's house. She didn't know which way to go, but Jade knew she had to find her. Gathering her courage, she crossed over to the other side of the road, determined to reunite with her sister no matter what. The unknown stretched before jade, but she knew that love would guide her to her. Jade's phone had run out of battery due to the uncountable calls she had placed while trying to reach her sister. As she was wandering around, she came across a police officer, "thank goodness!", she exclaimed. She was relieved to see someone who could help her. However, when the officer asked if she needed assistance, Jade struggled to explain her situation but it was futile because Jade could not communicate fluently in Spanish, how frustrating!! Unfortunately, since they couldn't understand each other, the officer had to arrest her until they could find an interpreter. Jade arrived at the police station and the officer brought in an interpreter to help translate her problem. Jade provided her sister's address and learned that her sister lives in a different city in Spain and that it would take her five to six hours by bus to get to the city called León, since it was already late, the police officer suggested that Jade stay overnight at the police station. It was a very long and unpleasant night for Jade, as she had to endure a lot of hardship, sitting on a wooden bench all night and could not sleep at all. During the night, Jade was feeling hungry and making chicken noises. Everyone around her, who spoke Spanish, couldn't understand that she was hungry and they all started laughing. Poor Jade had to wait until morning to find a solution. She thought it was the worst trip ever and almost cried. But as the day broke, she was determined to continue her quest to reunite with her sister. The police officer even asked a female sergeant to accompany Jade on her journey as she spoke English, she could understand Jade. So, they went to the bus terminal that goes to León, where Jade's sister, Jesse, is. They boarded a bus and finally arrived in León. The female sergeant, Hannah, bid Jade goodbye after becoming close and exchanging contact information along the way. By that time, Jade's phone was charged. They went their separate ways, ready to continue their journeys. As soon as Jade got off the bus, she spotted a beach opposite a Café. She exclaimed, "At last!" because she was so hungry and happy to finally find somewhere to eat. As Jade entered the Café, to her surprise, her sister was working there as a waitress. But her heart sank as Jade witnessed some men rudely hitting on Jesse. It made her question the life her sister had been living all this time, and the sadness overwhelmed Jade. Just as she was lost in her thoughts, her sister noticed her and angrily called out her name, "Jade!" snapping back to reality, she walked towards her, but she seemed distant and not as happy to see Jade as she had hoped. Instead of a warm embrace, she immediately asked about the money she brought. It left Jade wondering why that was her first concern after all these years of separation. With tears streaming down her face, she could only stare at her, speechless. In a moment of desperation, she grabbed jade bags and dragged her to a corner, demanding she reveal the money. As she opened the jade box, she discovered the large envelope of money their mom had placed inside. The sight left both of them speechless and filled with mixed emotions. As Jade stood there, watching her sister take the envelope filled with the money her mom gave her for emergencies, she couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Jade shouted at Jesse, telling her to stop and that she didn't understand what she was doing. But instead of listening, she told Jade to go back to Korea, which left her shocked and pained. Feeling confused and hurt, Jade grabbed her scattered box and made her way to the beach. The weight of the situation was suffocating jade, and she needed some fresh air to clear her mind. The sound of the crashing waves and the cool breeze provided a temporary escape from the chaos. As Jade sat there, she couldn't help but reflect on everything that had happened. It was difficult to comprehend why her sister would do such a thing, especially considering their shared history. But deep down, she knew that Jesse was still her sister, and despite the hurt, Jade couldn't let go of that bond. Amid her thoughts, she remembered that her close friend from high school, Wilson Lee was also coming to Spain. He had mentioned that he was visiting his aunt before heading back to Sacramento. The thought of having a familiar face around gave Jade a sense of comfort and support. With a heavy heart and a mind filled with questions, Jade knew that she needed to take some time to process everything. As she sat on the beach, Jade found solace in the sound of the waves and the beauty of the surroundings. She knew that eventually, she would have to confront her sister and find a way to mend their relationship. For now, Jade focused on taking care of herself and finding strength within. Life had thrown her a curveball, but she was determined to navigate through the confusion and find her path. And in that moment, as Jade watched the waves crash against the shore, she knew that she had the resilience to overcome whatever challenges lay ahead. As Jade was lost in her thoughts, this drunk guy with wild blue hair snatched her liquid conditioner and chugged it down, he thought it was a drink. Before she could react, he started convulsing. Panicking, Jade called out for help, and a tall, handsome guy with wavy brown hair rushed to the scene. He performed first aid and called for emergency assistance. The ambulance arrived, and they accompanied the guy to the hospital.
