The most precious thing can come in the smallest packages and my story is the most precious thing I have found.
Eight months ago and a bit before was a holiday here in my island called carnival. This was the first year I really had friends and I went out with my best friends to celebrate, dance and have a good time. Saturday being the biggest day of all the parties Lisa and me dressed up in costumes and walked into town - Puerto de la Cruz. As we reached Plaza Charco we ran into other friends who joined us for a drink or two. It was rather cold that night specially since we were dressed as school girls for the night!
As the plaza started to get busy Lisa and me sat down in a restaurant to have some food before heading to our teachers hut bar he had rented for carnival. By midnight it was rather busy and at one we went to the bus station to meet Lisa's boyfriend and his cousin. I thought his cousin was odd so I told Lisa to keep him away from me and I stayed dancing with other friends until they came back. James, Chris, Alex all came at around 2 and I danced with them. But I was having a problem with this guy called Roy who was drunk because he kept chasing after me so I had James and Alex protecting me and later Lisa came and she was dancing with me to keep my mind off him but i was searching for him still. As we talked and danced a guy dressed as a pirate walked passed, a bit smaller than me, with an orange cap. He stopped when he heard Lisa and me talking in English
"Aaaaaaah I talk English too!!!!" he said.
He began to dance with us I thought Lisa knew him, and Lisa thought I knew him, so we danced and talked with him. We told him I had to be kept away from one guy and each time I tried to search for that guy he held my chin and turned me back to him and told me not to worry.
James told me thirty minutes later that Roy had been taken home because he was too drunk I was SO happy.
The rest of the night I spent dancing with the guy in the orange cap. At six Lisa, Rhiannon (another friend), and me started to walk up to meet my mum who was going to take us home. I had his e-mail since we became good friends and we agreed to meet on Tuesday. That week went very slowly and the weekend even slower but Tuesday did roll round. I took Tammy with me for the walk and I met him at the top of my road across from a bar called Mi Niño. We talked for ages about music, school, what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. Finally we called Lisa to see where she was, but she was still far away. So we decided to meet her half way and walk back again to my house to help her with her homework.
Later it was time for him to leave, and we agreed to meet next Tuesday to watch the MTV Icon of Metallica. On Thursday I ran away again, down the motorway along a private road to Toscal and I met Lisa and we walked around and ended up where Jose worked. A bar in Toscal called Pepito's we sat and had a drink, but my Dad called and started shouting telling me to tell him where I was so he could take me home...but I told him I didn't want to go back, tears where in my eyes and Lisa was a bit shocked as she could hear my dad shouting too. After the phone call I told her my dad would take her home too, and i asked if we could stay out Saturday night but she couldn't as she had exams coming up. But Jose said I could stay with him. So Saturday came I went to the cinema with my friends and then dropped of in Toscal and I waited till he finished work. at almost four in the morning Jose finished work and he took me to a rock that looked over the sea and over the whole of Puerto de la Cruz we talked for hours and without me knowing it I had found the most precious thing in all the world.
At seven I decided it was time for me to go home even though I didn't want to. So I got up and he walked me up the hill, when he realized I was going to walk home he grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let me go until i got the taxi home, and he paid for me.
Tuesday came and Lisa arrived on time for once, we chatted for ages and walked around until Jose arrived. we watched the MTV icon on my computer and he sat on my lap. After Lisa said she had to go and her mum was coming to pick her up in five minutes. As we sat in the living room waiting my mum called me into the kitchen.
"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE PEOPLE AROUND? LOOK AT HOW YOU'RE DRESSED AND LOOK AT ALL THOSE CUTS, YOU WASTE MY TIME YOU NEVER TRY FOR ANYTHING" she, shouted.
"Did you ever think I cut because you hate me? There’s nothing wrong with the way I dress either!!! You just don’t like gothic people, and what I try for is my business and I do it for ME not for YOU!!!" I said, and walked out. We decided to wait outside and Lisa's mum was there within a minute and gone within a second.
We went walking to the park, and sat on the wall, my precious one, yet I still didn't know.
Thinking about my parents made me cry, and slowly he moved his hands to my face and wiped my tears and said
"Don’t cry I never want to see you cry" and he tilted my head down and kissed my forehead. My precious one. We went to the cinema and had our first photo together with writing on the side that read "estoy en las nubes cuando pienso en ti!!!" which means " I’m in the clouds when I think of you".
Afterwards he walked my home and we stopped to sit on the wall of Mi Niño.
We kissed, and from then on we have been together through the good and the bad and through whatever else is to come.
I found the most precious thing in the world. It's true love. For many people it will be the same, for others it can be pets or you can have more than one precious thing by creating life and a family.
