2. Chapter 2

Today was just one normal day in my normal life. I think I forgot to introduce myself on the previous chapter. My name is Miah Lorenzo and I'm 21 years old. I live with my mom, she's my only family and I love her so much. By the way, she's sick now. She has a very rare heart disease and everything I can do is keep her calm, avoid strong emotions and make a living for both of us. Don't ask me about my father because I know nothing about him and honestly I don't wanna know (even my mom doesn't talk about him).

I already made the breakfast and luch for my mom and now I have to rush to college. She was sitting on the sofa reading her book when she noticed me.

"Take care sweetie, have a nice day" she said with her warm smile I couldn't help but smile too.

"Thank you mom! Rest well and anything you want to eat is in the kitchen. Call me whenever you need me." she nodded and I walked out.

I can't help but feel worried everytime I leave my mom alone at home. Luckily our neighbor Mrs. Hastings helps me taking care of her while I'm on my part-time job during the nights. She volunteers at the nursing home and only after that she goes to my house.

Once I'm at college I rush to my class, otherwise I would get late. Being in last year of college is frustrating and I have to deal with it and my part-time job and my mom's condition. No time at all for lovey-dovey stuff!

Talking about this, I can't forget that man. It's been two weeks since that night and still I can't help but think about him. Fortunately, my thoughts were interrupted by the teacher, reminding me what really matters now.

When class was over, I met Emily at the college cafeteria.

"Urgh, today was a stressing day!" she let out a frustrated moan while we were sitting.

"Same here" I sighed rolling my eyes. "You know what? Let me order our food right now!" I said standing up and she threw me a confused look.

"With this attitude of yours I can tell you're still thinking about your mysterious man"

"You're wrong Emy!" I almost shouted but ignored her and turned to leave the table.

Emy was even more excited than I was about this matter. I really don't care that much because this is not what I want right now. I have no time to think about love. First my mom and my graduation, maybe later I can think of it. Right now, no time for lov—

"Excuse me" someone poked my shoulder and I turned to see who it was.

I was about to scream to the person who interrupted my thoughts, but my body didn't respond to my brain's orders as soon as I saw a mesmerizing pair of blue lagoons.

Could it get worse? That was my first thought.
