LOV3 4 3V3R (Story i wrote 4 Humanities)

Once upon a time, it’s funny how common a fairy tale starts even though my story isn’t a happy ending its something very close. My name is Anamarie I am American and Italian I am 5’6 or at least I think I am. I have light green eyes, light brown hair and I’m 17 years old. Now enough about me this story isn’t about me but about him, my one true love, and the gift he gave me that will remain in my heart forever. It all started the summer of 2007; I’ll never forget that day. I was headed off to Italy to visit my grandparents because I hadn’t seen them for all most 7 years. I was so excited when our flight landed in the airport. I nearly jumped off my chair because I was that excited. When I saw my grandparents I gave them a big bear hug and said how much I missed them. Afterwards I was headed off to my temporary home. I just couldn’t wait to see it. The houses in Italy are very different from the houses in Georgia. The guest room I got was very cozy and had a splendid view over town. The next day grandpapa had to work and grandmamma had to go get some groceries so I was left alone. I decided to go for a walk around Italy. I nearly got ran over a couple of times which wasn’t very fun. I wanted to see the Coliseum but it was closed for the day so instead I went to a park 5 blocks away. The park looked peaceful enough to walk around and not get run over by things, but I was wrong. I was walking just thinking of what it actually would be like to live in Italy. When all of sudden some yelled “Fare attenzione!” which means watch out, but I didn’t know what it meant at the time. That’s when I noticed a man in a bicycle was headed my way and instead of moving, I just froze can you believe that. Well to my surprise a young man ran and pushed me before the bicycle hit me. We both ended up falling to the ground. He then told me “Perché lei non ha mosso?! Lei avrebbe potuto essere doluto.” in Italian an since I didn’t know Italian I felt embarrassed. He later found out that I was American and luckily he knew English. He ensured me that what he said was not insulting but rather asking me why I didn’t move. Now here is where the story really begins. “Hey, are you sure you’re okay?” he said “Yah, I’m fine.” I replied. Well then “Hello, my name is Emanuel and you are?” “Oh I’m Anamarie” “So Anamarie, what brings you here to Italy because I can tell you’re not around here.”Emanuel said. “I’m just here over the summer.” she tried to explain. We then began to talk for awhile once we started talking we were inseparable. We had so many things in common it was unbelievable. He later invited me for some Gelato which means ice cream and I gladly agreed. We talked some more but then I noticed how late it was so I told him, “Oh my gosh it’s getting late I must go” Emanuel quickly got up and said “Anamarie I want to see you again meet me at the same park tomorrow at 12 in the morning.” I told him I’d think about it and thanked him for everything and left. When I got to my grandparents house I just couldn’t stop thinking of him. I’m glad I didn’t get in trouble for coming back so late. My grandparents just thought I got lost so they gave me a map to take with me at all times so I won’t be late anymore. The next couple of days I was hanging more and more with Emanuel and I think I’m actually falling in love with him. My grandparents are beginning to get suspicious about me going out so much they also have seen me day dream a lot. I think they’re getting the idea that I’m in love but they haven’t really asked me questions, yet, and I hope they never do. Emanuel said he was going to take me somewhere special tonight. I wonder where. I eventually told my grandmamma why I had been running off a lot and to my surprise she wasn’t mad at all. She told me she used to do the same thing when she was young and that’s when I told her about Emanuel taking me somewhere special tonight and guess what she told me “So what are we doing here just standing around the house? We should be busy shopping!” I just couldn’t believe it I love my grandmamma she freakin rocks and that’s exactly what we did. I never knew some grandmas had such good taste in clothes; we ended up buying a yellow dress at a shop called Le Flor. Once we got home I ran into the shower and got dressed. Before leaving I ran to my grandmamma and gave her a hug and told her I’ll try not to come back so late. Afterwards I was off to the park where I first met Emanuel and there he was standing waiting for me so patiently he looked so handsome. “Anamarie you look so beautiful.” I blushed a little and said thank you. I then asked him where he was going to take me but he wouldn’t tell me. He later covered my eyes with a bandana or I think it was he then asked me “Do you trust me?” and I said yes of course in a steadily way. We then began to walk for a long time or what seemed a long time. All of a sudden we just stopped. That’s when Emanuel took off the bandanna and said “You can turn around now”. Ohh my goodness I can see all of Rome and in front of me was a sheet with food and candles, and rose petals all around. Emanuel just smiled at me and said “Anamarie I have never met a girl like you.” He then put some romantic music and we began to dancing under the stars and the moon. I just couldn’t stop looking at him that’s when I realized that he might be the one we began to get closer and closer until our noses touched until we finally kissed. I felt like we were the only people in the world and everything else just floated away. Afterwards Emanuel got the food ready and we started to talk some more. “So Emanuel what’s your secret hobby?” “Ohh this may sound awkward but I like to listen to Opera music” I began to laugh “Ohh really.” “So what it’s not a big deal but what about you Hugh?”He said. “Well you may think I’m a dork but I love to collect earrings it’s just a passion. I have so many; you should see how many I have back home.” Time flew by; before I knew it I had 15 minutes to get home. He had it covered, we hopped into this motor scooter and he drove me home. As soon as we got there he walked me to my door he said “I had a wonderful time tonight.” I replied “Ho avuto un tempo molto buono anche.” He said “Good job. Practicing on your Italian.” He leaned in as if he was going to give me a kiss then the unthinkable happens. My grandpapa opens the door and says” Buona note.” Emanuel says “Good night to you too Sr.” In 2 days I was to return back to Georgia. The next morning I went for my usual morning stroll. Emanuel was waiting right outside the door with a pink rose and a box. He said “Good Morning Sunshine!”. I just smiled and gave him a peck on the lips and said “ringraziarla” which means thank you. He then said “Anamarie we must talk, but not here somewhere else”. I was like okay and we took off to the park were we first had met I was getting curious of what he had to tell me. He then stopped and told me “Anamarie you know how much you mean to me right, and I would never ever try to hurt you in any way”. I was beginning to get worried. “Wait Emanuel before you tell me this, I want to tell you some good news. I’m going to tell my parents to let me stay here in Italy all year so we can be together”. And guess what he told me “Anamarie no you should go back to Georgia and forget about me”. I was stunned “Wait what?! Didn’t you just tell me you loved me?! This can’t be possible! But why? I’m getting confused.” “You see before I met you I was with another girl but we broke up because we just weren’t meant for each other and I just found out that she is pregnant and I’m the baby’s father”. I just couldn’t believe it I began to cry and all he did was hug me tight I wanted to push him and runaway, but I just couldn’t I loved this guy too much and I never wanted to let him go. He then told me “You must go now and its best if you just forget about me and live life but just know I will always love you”. That’s when he pulled out a box behind him and said “This is for you don’t open it now, open it once you’re on the plane back to Georgia you promise you won’t open it until then?” I sobbed and said “I…I……I promise” and then we leaned over for our last kiss and then he was gone. The next day it was already time for me to go. Before my plane took off I said my goodbyes to my grandparents and told them “I hope to see you guys real soon and come and visit me sometime”. Then it was time for me to aboard the plan, when I got to my seat I remembered the box that Emanuel had given me so I took it out before I opened it I began to cry just thinking of him made me so sad. It took a while to gain strength to open the box, but I finally did and you won’t imagine what was inside there was a bunch of earrings and an envelope with a letter I quickly opened the letter it was a poem that Emanuel had wrote and it said this…
“Our love will always be inseparable no matter how far we are
You must know I never tried to hurt you
Not even once
Not even at all
It hurts for me to let you go
But always know that no matter where we are in this world
If were dead or alive my love for you will never die
You don’t imagine how much I want to be with you
To hold you and say your mine
I will never forget about you no matter how hard I try
I will always remember you in my years to come until my
eternal good bye”.
