Popcorn

NOT  A  POPCORN  COMMERCIAL

"Come on! Hold my hand!"

"I can't I-I'm scared"

"Trust me you'll be fine,I love you and I'll never let you slip away "

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Eyes partially open, they held each other's hands and peeped through that huge rock of mountain they were going to climb together so they could cross off their first wishlist.

After having climbed a dozen of mountains together for the past 2 years,

literally, climb up a mountain together.

With gleamy brown eyes, Drake would share stories of every small dream of his while he would lay his head on her lap. He was the kind to dream of having a house to themselves filled with puppies, well maybe not F-I-L-L-E-D but, a house in the mountains with puppies.He took care of Jane's love for birds and would plan how they would go bird watching in faraway jungles and mountains.

Jane loved the way he would snuggle up close to her,especially in these cold December movie nights.She made sure to hold him tightly for she loved to let him know he's safe

safe and warm within her arms and the-

"DRAKE!!!"

"Oh no, where is he! I need to find him!"

"Ma'am please wait here we are going to look for him,It's not safe for you to-

yeah? did you find him?

oh"

Sweating in an extremely cold winter morning, Jane woke up from what she believed to be her worst nightmare,both in reality and dreams.Grabbing the glass of water next to her bed she gulped al of it in a hurry and poured the rest all over her face.She frantically looked around her and saw the date in the calendar,It was the 15th of December.

Exact 

One 

Year.

It was her big day today. With the outfit, she had bought last month for this special event and her hair and make-up neatly done.She pulled up to her car as her driver drove it for her. She whipped out her laptop in the car to get some more work done, and while the morning caffeine was yet to hit, she realized, she had been up for a really long time last night.

"you should really get some sleep love, you've been up all day long!"

with a  popcorn bowl in one hand and a cup of coffee on the other,there stood drake staring at her with those kind eyes.after a long day of exhausting themselves they would always spend the night alternating between harry potter series or naruto.It was naruto night that night as he excitedly sat beside her on the couch and enjoyed their well deserved little break.

"i would be your naruto if anyone ever hurt the slightest of you my Hinata," saying this he would go on to comfort her by holding her real tight and giving shy teary-eyed glances once in a while.

feeling safe and well-rested,she rest her head on his shoulder almost about to fall asleep when she felt a kiss on her forehead and a tiny voice saying,

"Jane, You will do great today"

She woke up from the half-asleep state that she was in wondering why his voice seemed so distant before she could even realize the table, sofa, television set suddenly started shaking was it an earthquake! where is drake?! She was looking for a way out but found none, instead, she felt the floor underneath crushing and falling apart pulling her down with it.

CREECH!

went the floor! she was trying to hold on to the last of what was left of their beloved room but that too was falling apart.

naruto was still going on in the television

She was falling down ,down having no idea where she was headed to and didn't know how to stop it from happening she sto-

"Maam!Maam!Miss Jane are you okay !"

"Huh what where-I -where am I whe"

"Maam we have reached ma'am,

are you okay do you want me to go to the docs?"

"No it's I-I'm fine"

She walked out of her car as her driver opened up the door for her.Her heart filled with joy as she heard a group of people standing right outside her car waiting for her to sign HER book in their hands.

Ye,It was her book signing day.She saw so many young bright faces whose eyes were filled with stories.The kind she would listen to every day and night.The kinds that ignited in you a spark of turning your misery into a bright light for others to shine bright.After signing few of them

She went to her assigned seat and felt a warm breeze flow through her hair as she sat down and had the copy of her book in her own hands.

She spoke,

"You might have read stories, and I'm pretty sure you have,of two people falling n love and then living happily ever after,well,sometimes they might,sometimes they don't .But,what about the rest of us ?The ones who fall in love with themselves ?the ones who fell in love with the way their coffee tasted or the ones who spend hours clicking selfies under the sunlight falling down our balcony?the ones who fall in love with their flaws and flaunt their insecurities?the ones who once,fell too hard and now carry around a scar ?

we don't really move on,we move forward,the ones that once broke are the ones we are thankful for,the ones that couldn't stay but wanted to,their memories are always going to enlighten our world.Until then,I wish we can focus on the little things in life,like someone once did who was part of my life.

It may sound childish to you,but it doesn't to me, Popcorn,is all about falling in love withe the little joys of life,you may never know when will be the day you breathe in oxygen and are unable to let carbon dioxide out"

A round of applause filled her as she got up from her assigned seat holding her book, Popcorn in her hand, grinning lightly she got up and said to herself,

"I did good Drake, my popcorn boy"
