Doubt
By Amyra Akhtar
Hey, guys, it’s Bubblegum!
So, recently, Jasper had been acting really weird. He kept looking down on our dates, and only typed a short reply to my texts.
‘Jasper?’ My voice rang out in the halls as I walked to my locker.
‘Oh, hey, Bubblegum.’
‘Um, now you’re using my full name? What happened to calling me Bubble like you used to?’
‘Bubblegum.’ He took a sharp breath. ‘I think we should break up.’
‘WHAT?!’ I screamed. Tears ran down my face. ‘No. Jasper. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Wait. Please!’
He walked away.
‘No.’ I sobbed. ‘No!’
‘OMG, Bubble.’ Mackenzie wrapped her arms around me, and I felt so warm, like how my mom used to hug me. I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest. I missed her more than ever.
Nature knelt next to me. ‘What a dirtbag,’ She muttered.
Lucia wiped the tears off my face and smiled, and suddenly, I felt like everything was normal and perfect.
But it wasn’t.
The love of my life had just left me for what, 10$ or something?
I felt so empty.
And it definitely didn’t help matters when Lisa posted our breakup video ALL over IG!!
When I went home, my friends tried everything to cheer me up. They bought me random stuff, like lip gloss, a glittery nail polish, a cute red hoodie, cream coloured heels, a cute stuffed bear, a key ring with a furry heart, a silk scarf, a bomber jacket, and more stuff!
But none of that helped.
Once they went home, I whipped out my phone and texted Jasper.
Bubblegum> Hey. Meet me at the park.
Jasper> Uh, okay
I changed into a beautiful silk top and skirt, put on gold sandals, opened my brown, long hair, and headed to the park.
When I got there, Jasper was waiting. His long, beautiful white hair was loosely tied in a ponytail, and his blue eyes locked on mine.
‘Jasper.’ I took a breath. ‘We have history. I love you. You were always so amazing and sweet.
‘Yes, Bubble.’ The faintest smile broke out on his lips. ‘And I want you to always be. These past years have been amazing. And if we could carry our relationship forever, I would.’ He took a sharp breath. ‘And I will,’ He smiled.
‘Jasper, what are you saying?’ I asked.
‘I’m saying..’ He bent down on one knee. ‘Bubblegum Anderson Nicole Fashion..’
‘Will you marry me?’
The tears sprung to my eyes. I wanted to move my hands, but they were frozen. My face felt hot, and my brain was blank.
‘Um..’ I muttered. ‘Jasper..’
He stood up. ‘Bubblegum,’ He whispered. ‘I know this must be really huge. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. And I’ll wait years for you to decide.’
I smiled.
‘But for now,’ He murmured. ‘Can we pick up where we left off?’
‘Yes.’ I smiled.
He leaned in, and when he finally kissed me, the darkness in the sky cleared away. The birds chirped. The grass stood tall.
And me and Jasper..
..We’d always be together. ❤️❤️
