MY ARABELLA: Thousand years of loving you

"Rabella?" Zoe calls out to her friend..." Yes, Zoe, "Arabella replied as she turned to her friend with a cute smile on her face..." Let's go to the field...it will be much more fun playing there" Zoe proposes and Arabella agrees by taking her hands and pulling her in the direction of the field... Zoe follows her patiently with her gaze never leaving Arabella, they walk and sit on the field, gazing at the bright sky..."Do you like spending time with me?" Zoe asked her friend and she nodded her head smiling..." why?" She asked again..." Because you are my best friend, you understand me more than my mum and dad...and I love spending time with you" Arabella explains and a smile creeps on little Zoe's jaw... Arabella hardly spends time with her mum and dad because they are always working, not like they don't care about her but that always makes her feel bad thinking they don't love her..." Does your heart always beat faster when you are around me?" Zoe questions again but this time

When Arabella notices her by the door, she turns her face in the other direction. She was still sad, and with no other choice, Zoe walked to her bedside..."Rabella?" She called out but didn't receive any response from her..."I know you are mad at me and I am sorry..." She said apologetically and still, Arabella didn't say a word and just kept on gazing in the other direction..." Please, forgive me" she continued, not being able to take her silence, it was killing her slowly..." you hurt me, Zoe," Arabella tells her in a teary tone..." I didn't mean to...it was an accident" Zoe explains..."You know I can never hurt you intentionally...you know it Rabella '' she continued..."but you did...why?" Tears roll down her cheeks as she stares at her friend with so much pain..." I didn't mean to...and I am sorry" Zoe didn't know what else to say sorry with teary eyes..." promise you will never do it again, ever?" Arabella said and Zoe nodded her head in response...she pulled her in

eleven years laterZoe lies on the bed reading a book. the door opens and Arabella walks in with two cups of coffee and hands one to her..."What are you reading?" she questions taking a seat by her bedside..." Nothing important...just a book" Zoe closed the book and placed it by the side, adjusting herself to sit upright..." thought as much..." she said and drank her coffee...Zoe was quiet, she seemed to be thinking about something..."What is disturbing you, Zoe?" her soft voice pulled Zoe back to the present as she stared back at her..."Nothing," Zoe said but Arabella wasn't convinced..." I am no fool to know that something is disturbing you...come on, tell me..." she urges." I am scared, Rabella...what if I don't get chosen for the audition, what if I am not as good as they think?" she asked, opening up to all her fears. Zoe is studying music and there is a contest coming up and so many people and Schools are allowed to participate...she is good at singing but she has this sel

Coming back from Ms. Patricia's house, Zoe was happy knowing she will get to spend time with Arabella. She always spent her free time with Rowan, at his place while Zoe, gets to be left behind...And every single time she tries to make her stay, Rowan always comes up with something to change her mind...She knew he was doing it on purpose, it has been like that since childhood, always fighting for her love and attention but no matter how hard she tried, he still won...He's got her love, and now he's trying to get all of her attention to himself and it seems like it is working..." What a greedy bastard" she cursed under her breath feeling irritated at the thought of Rowan...One thing she didn't understand was, why he got to be the one she chooses to love. among all the guys, why him? Why not her? She has been with her since the very beginning but she didn't choose her, she never saw her as anything older than her best friend...it saddens her but knowing she is happy, she had no choice

Arabella walks through the school corridor heading to the hall Zoe always has her rehearsal. Taking the second door on her left, she stood by the door and watched her sing...the lyrics of the song made her eyes teary. For some reason, she could tell that something was going on but she didn't want to tell her... I tried my best to never let you in to see the truth... And I've never opened up... I have never truly loved... Till you put your arms around me and I believe... that it's easier for you to let me go...For those listening to the song, she sang it perfectly, putting all the emotions and playing with her keys but for Arabella, she could tell something was off...The crowd cheered happily. It was the first part of the competition where she had to compete with people in her school. Though she has been chosen to represent her school, Ms. Patricia wants her to be more than prepared so organizing a school competition was necessary...Gazing at the cro
