Chapter 9: chapter 9 :creating bonds
Tuesday, 3:35 PM
Well, this is where we agreed to meet, I'll wait, especially since I arrived a bit early.
I sat on the curb and waited for her, "man, I wonder how my mom and my grandpa felt about my death?"
I mean, I had family in the other world and everything, for them I was just starting my life.
but to be honest, that world was a mess for me.
just work and more work ..
no human being should live like this .. while I was lost in my thoughts, about 10 minutes passed
Tory: "Gabriel, you arrived early. Actually, I wanted to arrive earlier, but I was busy doing things at home."
No problem, Tory, I just arrived too, let's go.
so on the way to the cinema we talked about various things
and as we chatted back and forth, we passed by an ice cream shop
"Hey, since we're here, let's get some ice cream."
she agreed, so we bought an ice cream and continued walking to get to the cinema
Sorry, Tory, for making you walk so much. Unfortunately, I still don't have my motorcycle.
my motorcycle, not old enough to get a driver's license
but in 2 years I'll give you a ride on my motorcycle
Tory: Haha, alright, I'll wait for that ride. Tell me, Gabriel, who do you live with?
you told me that day that I could visit you, but you didn't tell me who you live with..
Actually, I live alone; my parents unfortunately died in a car accident.
but luckily they left me an apartment and some money that allows me to get by for a while
Tory: ..... My condolences, I don't even want to think about how I would feel if I lost my mother.
both my brother and I only have her, even though things are difficult
I want her to live long enough to see me graduate from college...
What I can tell you is to live by her side, tell her you love her while there's still time.
the wheel of life keeps spinning, and each day is one day less of our lives
we never know what awaits us tomorrow .....
Tory: yes, you're right, but let's stop talking about sad things and go to the movie.
it's starting already, alright let's go
By the way, the movie we're going to watch is Spider-Man 3.
... about 2 hours later
ahh it was a good movie, but I definitely still prefer the second one
Tory: yes, I also prefer the second one, it seems they set the story aside and focused
only on the villain and in the end, it was poorly developed
exactly, if I had to give a rating to this movie, it would be 6/10
Tory: I give it a 5/10
about 30 minutes of walking later...
We arrived at your house, Tory, now I'm heading out...
Tory: Gabriel, thank you, I had never been on a date before.
always taking care of my brother and my mother never gave me a chance to go out with
a boy, and also no one has interested me enough to go on a date
hahaha don't worry Tory, when I buy my motorcycle I'll take you to various
different places, of course, you are my Tory, if you have any problems
come to me, I will do my best to help you.
The truth is that I wanted to tell you that next year I will be moving away for a year.
from here ...
Tory: What? why? where are you going? ..
Actually, I'm going a bit far from here, I'm going to Virginia.
it's a little far from here..
Tory: but why exactly are you going to Virginia ....
Actually, I'm going to take care of my grandmother, to look after her.
she is quite old already, and also to spend some time with her, it has been a long time since I last visited her
so I thought about paying her a visit
Tory: I... I understood, just like you, there's someone to take care of, right?
but what about school? What will happen to the school? Are you going to stop studying?
Actually, there is a school there too, the name of the city is Mystic Falls.
I'm going to transfer there, but don't worry Tory, I'll be back in a year.
And when I come back, I'll already have my motorcycle and I'll take you for a ride.
throughout the whole city with it
Tory: ..... I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO ...I MEAN I ONLY HAVE YOU AS A TRUE FRIEND
ALL MY OLD FRIENDS LEFT ME, SAYING THAT I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THEM.
BUT EVERY TIME I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION TO THEM, THEY ALWAYS ABANDONED ME
ONLY YOU, AFTER I TOLD MY STORY, CONTINUED, MY FRIEND, AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO.
EVEN IF THIS IS SELFISH OF ME, I DON'T WANT .....
Tory.... everyone who abandoned you was never your true friend.
True friendship is accepting all of your friend's difficulties as your own, helping them in difficult times.
feeling your friend's pain is doing your best to help, being there for him or her...
I know that I might be leaving for a while, but I will come back. Besides, I still have 2 months left here.
we're still in October, it's been 2 months since I've been here
thoughts: at least when I was transmigrated to this world
already came with a record of good grades, and also threw me in more than halfway through the year...
not many interesting things have happened in these 2 months that I've been here
I met you, made other friends, got to know this place even if just a little.
because most things are far away but that's okay
I haven't enjoyed this place enough yet.
so don't worry Tory....
Tory:.... accepting every difficulty is helping in difficult moments....
I understand, Gabriel...
Alright, I accept that, if you are really saying that you will come back.
I will believe it, so I hope you really come back, you idiot.
haha yes, of course, it's a promise
Tory: Alright, so it's a promise, I'm going home now, bye...
bye ...
everything is fine with this problem resolved, I feel more at peace, honestly, I'm not an idiot
enough to see that she's in love with me, no girl would do that for a boy
even being a teenager just because she's a friend of someone...
being honest, if I start a relationship with Tory right now
it's quite likely that in a few years it will end
I found out in my world that many relationships that started too early
too soon, always end too soon as well, that's why the best choice is
at this moment and create a strong friendship with bonds that are hard to break
so that in the future there might be room for a relationship ....
2 days after school
So guys, let's go to the arcade and play a bit, but where is it?
demetri: I know, I know, let's go, it's about 20 minutes from here
Eli: Are you talking about the one near the main road?
demetri: yes, that one, let's go
so we had fun there after school, haha these guys are nerds but they're definitely funny ...
about 1 month later
I kept meeting up with Tory and the guys.
It was really nice, we can definitely call ourselves friends now.
As for the others, I wouldn't call them friends, but rather acquaintances.
Honestly, the girls here are beautiful, but they are too young for me.
maybe in 2 years they will be more developed hahaha ....
