"Life is like a soup, and I'm the fork" Aliana whisper softly. Nothing seems to go her way. Being 19 with no dreams and no hope. Her birthday is only few months away. And she'll be 20 by then, her teenage life will be gone.
lying flat on her bed wearing a shirt which could swallow up her whole body. staring at the wall which is cover up with full of fashionista celebrities, which she tear out from any magazine's, newspapers and some rough drawing of her own. God knows she loves clothes, fashion and yeah drawing. But she being from not so rich nor not that very poor average kind of family, life is hard to follow her dreams. which in the end left her to keep quiet and hid her dreams in the dark.
she was startled when her phone beeps,"Can we talk" come a text from her long term boyfriend Will. Will short for William. she took a deep breath and type "sure". Because she knows that 'can we talk' phrase always carries like a bomb that will blast out and end up in arguments or sometimes even a breakup.

Half an hour later she woke up and took a quick shower, do a light makeup and dress up in white shirt, jeans and white converse. she took her phone and a purse and went straight to the restaurant where they'd met for the zillion times.
William as always being on time, he waits sitting in one of the corner with a two cups of coffee on the table. Handsome, Tall, Rich and the only son of the richest business man in city XX. one glance of him can tell how rich he is, from his head to toe all branded with expensive clothes and watches which a common teenager like herself could never afford.This is one of the reason why she agreed to go out with her when he ask her out 3 years ago. And here they are 3 years later barely carrying on their relationship. Aliana smile and wave at him, she sat down opposite to him. "you're late again " says William which sounds a little annoying.
"uhmm... yeah, just caught up with some works at home" lying again, she took a sip from one of the cup nervously and wanted to change the topic. " So what is it that you want to talk about. I thought you were on a trip or something with your friends. you didn't go or You just come to meet me before you go?. don't worry I won't stop you from going. they are your friends so why should I even stop you",she blurted out.
" Aliana" says William rubbing his forehead. he'd been used to this and always hated it when she speaks without a break.But the very reason he fall for her was her intelligence, her maturity and not to forget her beauty is beyond measure. she's like the girl who walk out straight from fairytale kind of princess. "I.... I think we need to stop this, I'm going away, away for my further studies. it seems my dad had made all the arrangements. I guess I'll be leaving tomorrow evening", saying this he look deep into her eyes searching for an answer, he wants her to beg him to stay, as she always did.
" That soon ?", Aliana ask confusedly.
"why didn't you tell me earlier Will?",
"what? you've been ignoring me the whole month, whole freaking month Aliana Grace.you didn't pick up my phone nor replied my text". she hated it when he called her by her full name. But he is actually right because she has been not in her right state of mind for the last few weeks.
Both of them fall silent.
"I'm sorry and I don't want to do this but... lets end this Aliana"
end this...she feel a pang of pain in her chest hearing him saying this, though she have heard it many a times. But everytime he mention the word 'end this' or 'break up', it always break her heart and feels like her world is crumbling into pieces. she love him, she really do.she doesn't want to end their relationship but a part of her knew this was coming.
"Okay" says Aliana not looking into his eyes. because if she did she'll cry and she will want to beg him to stay with her. tears welling up her eyes, she tried hard not to show it nor cry in front of him. " take care and goodbye Will"
she stood up and walk away leaving him speechless. she used to always beg and cry for him to stay, but not anymore. she's tired of all these years being always the one begging and crying. she wanted to make a right decision for once. she hated herself for enduring him and his girlfriends all their years of being in relationship. she know 3 years of dating him was not a thing to take it lightly.
But she is done with him, his crazy girlfriends and his rich bloody family.
***
She now decided that she will leave her teenage years behind and start up her new life in her 20, 20s and so on.
