Chapter 17: VEE
I had always believed that loyalty was a very animalistic feeling. It was not learned; it would just spring up, like a deep root that was impossible to pull out.
And I was loyal to Yaron.
But he was leaving for college, and the time to pursue my dreams had finally arrived.
I had to leave. I had to take my dreams and leave. I would have everything. Because everything was what I deserved. I had spent my whole life fantasizing about it; crossing off days on an imaginary calendar; living the future in my head, while ignoring the present.
I would find a place where I could be whatever I wanted, and others would appreciate it. I would be loved and admired. I would live in a brand-new home, where everything would work. The fridge would never be empty. I would own fancy designer clothes. My father would always have the care he desperately needed.
However, I hadn’t taken into account that my path could cross with another. Much less with someone like Yaron.
The first time I saw him, I knew we would be friends. That blond boy with sky blue eyes became part of my world. And I fell in love with him.
I discovered that I was in love with Yaron one winter afternoon. He hadn’t kissed me yet. It would still be a long way off, but he had taken me to the Christmas market and bought me some candy.
We were walking through the stalls, and then he stopped. He turned, looked at me, and touched the tip of my nose.
“Snow?” I asked.
He shook his head and put his finger to his mouth.
“Sugar.”
He smiled, and I felt it. Inside. My heart was pressing my ribs and turning my stomach inside out. I had to hold on to his arm to keep from falling.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I got a little dizzy.”
Yaron told me off for eating too much. Then we continued to wander around the Christmas market, laughing about silly things and killing time before going home.
It didn’t go away until I was alone in my room that afternoon. That day, I knew I was in love with him. The feeling only grew stronger and stronger.
The fact that I loved Yaron, made my plans more complicated. The fact that he loved me, changed everything.
