Even Just for Now

Hi everyone my name is Ella McCarthy I was born and raised at United Kingdom. I’m 15 years old. My dad decided to moved at Los Angeles California with us for his new business.

We arrived at the said country. Our new neighborhoods shown their skills in cooking. They loves my British accent. My mom enrolled me at the school. 

First day of school my brother Douglas fell in love to his new classmate. He is one year older than me. Her classmate’s name is Lily Watson. 

Lily Watson is so gorgeous and sexy. No wonder she is a campus crush. Douglas is an introvert. He has no courage to tell his feelings for Lily. 

Douglas is certified no girl friend since birth. At the campus I sat the bench waiting for my brother. While waiting there was a group of mean girls trying to annoys me. Unfortunately they had no idea how bully I am. 

The guidance councilor caught us having a sarcastic conversations. Until Mildred pushed me. Because she lose to our debate. Her friends teasing me. So I kicked her tummy. 

After the incidents we received one week suspension. We are required to attend to community service. My parents scolded me. We arrived at the forest. I saw Lily she has an advocacy. She loves to protect our mother nature.

Lily introduced her favorite tree to me. I asked her why she loves it and why she worshiped mother nature. According to her we need to taking care our nature. Because our nature never stop loving our land. I fell in love to that place. After our community service. I went back at our home.

I went on my room and I heard Douglas he sang his original composition. I went on his room. I asked him if he is in love to someone. He admitted he fell in love so quickly to Lily. I taught him how to express his feelings for Lily. Unfortunately he can’t do that. 

So I volunteer to helps him how to win her heart. At the school I talked to Lily. I shared everything to her about Douglas. It seems Lily is interested to listen to my story.

Lily and I became best friend. Every weekends she spent her days at the house or sometimes we went to our rendezvous at the forest. Douglas is so over the moon he is getting closer to Lily. 

Our school announced our JS Prom. Douglas had no courage to ask her to be his date. Well I’m willing to help him. On the following day. I makes surprises for Lily inside the campus. 

I sing and dance in front of her. Just to get her sweetest “Yes” for my brother. I asked her if she want to be my brother’s date on our upcoming prom. She said Yes. Douglas became happy.

At the prom I saw Lily wearing her expensive gown. She is the most beautiful maiden I ever seen in my whole life. I witnessed my brother’s reaction when he saw Lily. It’s obviously he is in love to her. 

The former Prom queen and king announced the newly prom king and queen. Douglas and Lily won the crown. While Douglas and Lily dancing on the center stage. I felt a little bit of jealousness. I told to myself. That should be me.

While watching them I reminisced how we started to became best friend. I went inside the C.R I looked at the mirror and I saw myself with teardrops. 

I realized I fell in love with my best friend and now my brother’s imaginary girl friend. I went alone at the gazebo. I wrote a poem on the piece of a paper. 

I was surprised when she called me. Inside the gazebo. Lily asked me for a dance. I granted her request. While dancing she admitted her feelings regarding to me.

She loves the way I makes her happy everyday. She cherish our moments together. She enjoyed the days I court her for Douglas. Lily admitted she is slowly falling in love with me since the day we met. 

I gave my poem to her. I wrote what’s truly inside my heart. 

I love the way you looks at me

I love the scent of your body

My soul is melting every time I see you

I felt I’m a prisoner inside your heart

Can I kiss you even just for now

Or can you tell me you loves me

Even it’s a lie

Say that you love me

Even Just for now. 

The birds, The Trees, 

The river and The Wind

These are our witnessed

Without prejudice

I will cross the ocean

I can be a Mother Nature for you

Just say that you love me

Even just for now 

The Trees that binds us

It seems they’re rooting for us

We had roots that connects to our hearts.

I wrote this for her. She is teary eyed while reading my poem for her. She couldn't believed she fell in love with me. She believes mother nature is one of the reason why we fell in love to each other.

Lily kissed my lips and she said she loves me. Even she is not sure if she want to continue her feelings for me. Since we’re both too young for love. 

Lily say good bye to me. Because her journey in high school is almost over. She will migrate on New York City with her parents after her graduation day. Lily rejected Douglas. 

Lily and I had connections because of her favorite tree. I joined to her group. I learned to love our nature.

I became an ambassador for the said group. I encourage the community to love and protect Mother Nature. I also met different people at the community.

Every summer Lily went back at Los Angeles to check her favorite tree. We swims at the river and we slept at the grass. Everytime she visited our rendezvous

At least I know to myself she loves me and that's enough for me.
