Technically, Anna did have a point in what she said.
She may not know the actual her just as much, but time… well, they practically had all the time in the world to change that. It may take time for Valerie to forgive her for real, but it was just too complicated. She needed the time to figure to move on from the pain so she could properly have the girl as a part of her life without it being so complicated, because honestly, as much as her walls usually just went straight up in all power when someone hurt her like that, they didn’t with Anna. They did, but they also didn’t. She was hurt, but as much as she was mad, in her heart in a way she’d always have a soft spot for her, not Jessica this time, but Anna. It was complicated, because who was even Anna? What did she even know about her? Who was she? Her passions, dreams… she didn’t know all that, but a heart says what a heart says, and although she had no romantic feelings for her whatsoever, she did have a soft spot. Go on and judge now would ya
“I did get to know the real you Val. And I don’t ever want you to think you’re not good enough because you always were… I just wasn’t,”
The words stuck in her head as Valerie looked at the girl who had gotten up and headed towards the door, apologising once again and saying goodbye as opening the door. Valerie stayed quiet for most of the time, just listening and thinking as she did, but as the girl went to the door, Valerie turned and looked at her as she stepped out ”Hey” she called her stopping her from walking out ”Thanks” she said with a soft smile, watching the girl walk away, leaving the room herself a few moments later after taking a moment to breath.
Graduation ha? Who would have thought that the end of high school would come so fast? 19 years have gone by so fast and with no heads up Celine found herself walking in a cap and gown and getting a diploma, thrown straight out into the real adult world.
And frankly, as much as she wanted to just jump out there and conquer the world, a part of her would still miss highschool, as crazy as it was, it was fun while it lasted. It was a period of time in her life full of memories, friends, adventures… though it wasn’t like the adventure came to an end, on the contrary, it was just a turn in the road, a point to stop and thing as standing at the entrance gate to her adult life. Who was she going to be? what was she going to be? Where? What kind of life does she want and who does she want in them? So many questions, and only one girl to figure them out.
But while we’re at it, why not celebrate when there’s a party? We do love a good one.
Standing at the bar of the Rockefeller thingy place in her silky red dress, Celine caught the attention of the bartender and ordered a second drink, when a mention of some good cheesy food caught her attention and had her second that order for herself as well. “I’ll take one of those too thanks,”I she said and turned to look at the familiar figure at the other side of the bar, in her maroon coloured dress that hugged her figure in all the right places, along with a jacket matched with the dress.
“Guess I’m not the only one starving after that long-winded graduation then?”
”Well, I’ll be damned, Anna Pierce in the flesh.” she said as a light French accent slipped a bit as she spoke, in slight surprise as noticing who it was ”Honestly, never thought I’d see you around here” she admitted and sipped the drink in her hand. To be fair, she really didn’t expect to see her, she was used to having Jessica around but that wasn’t really enough wasn’t it? For all she could tell, those two weren’t exactly best of friends. ”You look good” she then told her as looking over at her with a soft smile. She hadn’t seen her in quite a while, and she did in fact look good, different good.
