Empire High School - Season 1 - Episode 113

The happiness you brought to my soul
compares to nothing in the world. Even
money can’t buy the happiness in my heart
when I see your face” Jeffrey said
He pulled away from me and I saw unshed
tears in his eyes. But he was holding back.
Jeffrey reached out to trace my lowerlips
with one of his fingertips. He looped a
hand behind my neck and his lips
descended on mine. I slipped my tongue
into his mouth and met him eagerly. His
other hand gripped onto my waist. He
deepened the kiss and kept me in place.
It was a long kiss. The most intense kiss I
had ever shared with him.

Jeffrey broke the kiss, I never wanted it to
end but I have to leave.

He pushed my hair behind my ears as he
looked in my eyes. Then I realized that
those tears he held back had slipped down
his cheeks. I reached out to wipe his tears
and he did the same to me.

“I’d like to hear from you sometime..And
always” he said when he released me and
stepped away.

He’d my number but I doubted if I would
be able to use it in UK.
“Send a message to me, with your UK line
when you get there” he added
A thought crossed my mind.

We wouidnt stay in contact for long once
both of us get back to the routines of
studying in our respective universities and
working on our dreams. It was likely that
we would be too busy to keep up a long
distance relationship even with the ease of
Internet.

I envisioned a quick spread of further –
further – and Further apart until we
stopped altogether, leaving us to
remember just our time together in High
School.

Jeffrey kissed me one last time.
“Always remember that I love you and I
will love you forever”
He embraced me
I pat his back gently before stepping away.
Time to leave.

“Take care of yourself” I said before
walking out of the empty class.
My face burned with tears as I walked to
the garage.

“Did you talk to him?” My mom asked
when I slipped into the car.
I nodded and hugged her.
“Everything will be fine” she mumbled
And the car glided into motion.
I was grateful to Elena for telling Jeffrey to
follow me. I got the chance to say goodbye
to him.

Jeffrey’s POV
I watched Katherine walk out of the class
before I broke down in tears. She was
gone. I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if
she had left without a word to me. Two
weeks together and I hadn’t suspect that
she was leaving. But I should have known
because during those times, she always
avoids my questions about her desired
university. Though i knew she wanted to
study law to become a Lawyer but I don’t
know her choice of institution.

Thanks to Elena for telling me Kate was
leaving the party. I had been talking to Our
classmates when she called me aside and
said Kate was leaving. Elena explained to
me. And she said Kate didn’t want me to
know for some reasons which she couldn’t
explain because she felt we were running
out of time.

I was stunned and shocked that Kate was
really leaving the country without
informing me. I searched for her until i
caught a glimpse of someone slipping into
an empty classroom. I walked closer and
found her in the classroom.

She loves me!
She wanted me to be hapoy!
And she had placed my feelings above hers.
And I couldn’t imagine how hard it must
have been for her to spend time with me
just to make me happy when she knew she
was leaving soon.

And now she was really really gone!
I closed my eyes, tears flowed down my
cheeks.
I recalled how happy i had been over the
last two weeks. She had made me happy!
Now I felt incomplete without her in my
life. She healed me when I was grieving for
my, mom’s death, When I shut myself out
of the world completely.

Our love was beautiful and filled with
happiness. I was blessed to be with Kate.
I even imagined a future with her. I was
determined to promise her..For life. I was
going to love her forever.
