La supremacia del imperio estadounidense

[pic 1][pic 2][pic 3]

It was the last day of school in the final class and I wasn’t paying attention, I was thinking about all the things I was going to do in the summer like go to the beach or hang out with my friends and many other things, I was rambling in my thoughts that I don’t listened the ring to leave the school and my best friend; Richard, needed to speak to me loudly for make me get into the reality again, “Aaron! Wake up, now we are free, we have all the summer to do whatever we want, we can go to parties or I don’t know, this gonna be summer of our lives…” he said

While he was talking, deep in my mind I had a feeling telling me “so it would be”. Then I stood up and started to walk to the exit with Richard, he was still talking about all the things that we would do, but I don’t listened him, that feeling had trapped inside my brain. We reached the exit and said goodbye.

I put my headset on and started to walk to my home, while I was walking I was thinking about all my life, and I realized that sometimes this was very bored, I never did something out of the law, or something that could get me in trouble, in fact I was very ordinary and that is something that I never liked, I wasn’t happy with myself.

While I was complaining about it I saw her, a beautiful girl with wavy brown hair, small brown eyes, and a lovely face, and maybe more or less of my own age. I thought that she was the kind of girl who are crazy in the good way, a very interesting person and nothing to do with me, maybe because of her stile or just because she looked so beautiful. She was on the other side of the street waiting for the bus, I really liked her and I thought to go and say hello, take the risk and make more interesting my life, but when I was going to do it she was gone.

I didn’t care, “anyways she wouldn’t even like me” I though and I continued my way to my home while I was still thinking about her. I came home and my parents were there, I said hello and went upstairs to my room to change my clothes and lay down for a while. When I was about to fall asleep a text from Richard woke me up “Hey, earlier I saw you like very weird and that and I wanna know if you are ok, are you ok?, anyways, tomorrow some guy will make a big party and we should go, you know to have a big summer start, all the people of the school will be there and even people from other schools, it’s going to be fun”

I guessed that maybe she would be there and maybe we could talk and be friends or even more, so I answered “Yeah, sure, we’ll go, that’s exactly what I need, a real party to have some fun. Come and pick me up tomorrow”

That night the only think that was in my mind was if she was going to be there and how could I get close to her and start talking, so that night I didn’t sleep well, in fact, I believe that I don’t even sleep at all, I was so worried about everything.

The next day I was getting ready for the party and wishing that she was there, then Richard knocked my door and I went out and we get into Richard’s car. At the time that we were going to the party I was telling to Richard about that mysterious girl and how I was a little bit obsessed, he didn’t clear me any doubt but he told me that maybe she would be there because the party was of a very popular guy and a lot of people would be there. That was a good signal for me because my possibilities to see her were increasing.

When we was at the party I was searching her but I couldn’t find her, and I turn a little bit sad, because even that the party was great I just wanted to see her, the party didn’t mean nothing for me. I gave up and started to drink to the point to get almost drunk, but suddenly I saw her coming in and all the alcohol that I had drunk disappear and a silly smile take all over my face, then Richard came and said to me “it’s her, doesn’t it?”, “yeah, look at her she is so pretty” I answered, “each one have they own taste” he responded Richard while he was laughing, “let me ask about her”

While he was asking I was keeping my eyes on her to don’t lose her, and finally she sat down in a couch, then Richard come and told me “her name is Leslie, that’s all they know about her but anything is better than nothing huh?” And he was right, knowing he name was just the beginning.

She was still seated in that couch and I was thinking how can I start talking with her, then I saw that she was wearing a shirt of one of my favorites bands, I got close to her and said “Nice shirt” she smiled and said “thanks, do you like them”, I answered “sure they are one of my favorites, I’m Aaron” in my mind I was saying to myself “yes! You are taking with her, keep it that way, don’t be bored, don’t mess this up” And she said “nice to meet you Aaron, I’m Leslie” while she was smiling.

From that moment and for the rest of the night Leslie and I talked, I’m sure that we felt a connection, we talked about all and anything that night, and we laughed a lot. I was very happy because everything seemed to be good, but what I didn’t know was that my life were going to change all because of this girl.

Near to the end of the party her phone rang, she answered, gave me cheek kiss and said that her father was outside and she had to go, we said good bye to each other and she asked for my number, when a little smile was in my face I said my number and I asked for her number and she gave it to me. Then while I saw her go, she turned to me and said “call me later, you’re cute” and I said “Sure, I would be crazy if I don’t” she smiled and then leaved the house.

In that moment Richard came and started to ask me about her and the only thing that I said was “she is the right one, don’t ask me why, I just know, she is gonna change my life” he just patted my back and said that it was time to go home.

In the following days all that I could think was about Leslie and when was the perfect time to phone her, I didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable or something like that, so I take my time and waited like a week or more before send to her a text saying hi, she answered quickly and we started to texting each other, then I asked I we could go out tomorrow somewhere and she said yes.

The next day marked the beginning of the experience of my life, since that day we were like dating or something like that, almost every day we hung out, have fun together and get closer to each other. Everything was great, our relationship was growing and we felt good being together, I thought in that moment that nothing could separate us.

In the next weeks we keep dating and everything was normal, but one day everything changed. That day started normally, I send her a good morning text but I haven’t a reply, “maybe she is busy” I thought and started to do all my daily stuff. By the night she still didn’t answered me and I started to worry because she wasn’t the kind of girl that just disappear.

 I was about to sleep, it was like 1 a.m., when my cellphone rang, I answered a little bit sleepy, it was Leslie, completely in disbelief, I listened to her crying, trying to explain to me what had happened, then, with a broken voice, said “Aaron, it’s all my fault, they are gone, why this is happening?!” I didn’t understand anything, but her voice and her crying concerned me a lot.
Then I said “Les, what happened, are you ok? Where are you?” with a trembling voice she said “I’m at home, please come, I need you” while her crying increased and hung up the phone.

I ran downstairs, took the keys of my father’s car, started it and went as fast as possible to her home, when I got to her home she was outside, sitting in the porch trembling and crying, so I got closer to her and started to hug her and then I asked what had happened. She just looked at my eyes and said “they’re gone, my parents are gone, I kill them, and everything is my fault, I didn’t see that truck and now they are dead” I shocked because when I saw her good, she had some injuries.

Then she started to tell me that she was driving her parents back to their home when a truck crashed them by behind where their parents were, making her went off the road and start to spin in the air and finally hit the ground, her parents were unconscious but they were also bleeding, she only had some injuries  and tried to ask for help in the road, when she could find some person to help her and call some ambulance it was too late, her parents were both dead, the only that the people of the ambulance could do was take their bodies to the morgue and take her home. At this point she was crying out of control and seemed inconsolable because she thought that was her fault.

I was speechless, all that thing impressed me a lot and I didn’t know what I needed to do or said, the only think that I could do was hug her and take her inside of her home and stay all night with her trying to comfort her and make her feel better. We cuddled all night long, that’s the only thing that I can remember after get into her home, she slept in my arms and I also fell asleep.

In the next morning I woke up with a lot of missed calls from my parents but I didn’t care, all that I could care about was Leslie and her wellbeing however I still didn’t know how to act or what to do, I didn’t want to leave her side because I noticed her so depressed and I was afraid of that she trying to hurt herself, I was really worried.
