Her Lock My Key

Emma Claire Johnson, that's the name of the girl i fell in love with almost a year ago. she was broken, torn, cutting herself even. One night she even tried to jump off the top of the school the same night i was going to do something non-redeemable... that was the night she saved my life even though It was me that saved her's.

October 5th, 2020... As I sit on the roof of my school holding the gun to my head, I think about why I'm doing this, I think about my life up till now, How my father would always beat my mother, and my mother abandoned me when i was 4. I'm 15 now and my mom is in jail, my dads also AWOL, and my younger siblings hate me. the kids at school think i'm ugly and my last three boyfriends called me Psycho, there's so much i could say but there's no point. I'm about to pull the trigger when i here the door open, i stuffed the gun into my laptop under my bag as a girl my age runs out of the school and stop's at the edge of the building, three girl run after her screaming things like, "UGLY!!" and,"DIE". but when i looked back at the girl, I don't see ugly or worthless I see, Beautiful and Angelic... I see a Daydream but one full of reality, all of a sudden my body is moving on its own, My back and gun lay on the floor and I'm holding on to a girl who had jumped two seconds ago...

I hadn't realized it, but I had pulled her back onto the roof so quickly that she had fallen on top of me. As I sat on the ground, my hands propping me up from behind, the beautiful blonde was laying over my lap staring into my eyes. The girls from earlier had been shocked, and there mouths were gaping. I looked around, grabbed the girls hand and guided her off the roof and back into the school, grabbing her bag and my own on the way secretly stashing my gun into my bag.

Like I said earlier that was almost a year ago, this is now...

"Emmaaa" I was sitting on my bed with my beautiful girlfriend begging her to let me copy her homework. "Maya, No! you would learn anything if i let you copy off of me." She got off my bed and grabbed our bags,"But I can teach you, love" As she spoke I melted from her voice and accent, it was beautiful, something I've admired since we met. "Fine... but I have something for you, so close your eyes" She closed her eyes and i grabbed the necklace from under my pillow.

I got up and stood behind her, clasping the necklace around her neck, it was a heart pendant. I stood back in front of her and took her hands, she opened her eyes, "Emma, I went to the jewelry store in hopes to buy you a promise ring, but I didn't have enough so I bought you this. Still whatever I would have bought, the promise would have been the same. I promise to always stand by you... I will never hurt you, and I promise that it is my lifelong mission to fix any broken pieces of your heart, Because I Love You!"

Emma's POV

As Maya spoke, I listened. She doesn't realized it but she'd already put my heart back together. I already know she'll never hurt me. I already know she'll never leave. as she finish I said the one thing that came to my mind...

"Maya, I Love You Too, I may lock my heart up so that it won't break again but I want you to know, you and only you have the Key". She finished my sentence,

"Your Lock, My Key"
