Mavericks first love

Mavericks first love

By Lacey and Ruby

This Journal is about how I met Haver and life after.

Dear journal, today when I went to the library I saw a girl. She was looking at the mountain climbers series. Which I was looking at too. I only got her name which was Haver. She had the longest brown hair and sage green eyes that I could stare in for days. I offered to buy her the book but she said no. I had written that book after my climb. I.. I could've told her.

I saw her at the coffee shop and bought her a coffee. I told her about my travels and my books. She ordered a hot coco as the snow started falling. We walked across the cold London streets together. I was on my holiday. Because a news company in London liked my stories.

She looked at me and we parted ways. She gave me her number and I walked home smiling. My house was small but London writer (the company who sponsored me)had given me a house to stay in for 2 weeks.

Dear journal, today someone unexpectedly knocked on my door. It was...mother. I completely despise her. So surprisingly she barged inside and plopped her takeaway coffee on the table. She was smoking a cigar.

"Don't smoke in the house!" I said snatching her cigar.

"Oh don't be so harsh, I'm your mother." she replied, reaching in her handbag.

She looked like Ursula from the little mermaid when she was putting on her ugly red lipstick. She had no care for animals or the environment. She always wore animal tested makeup and was always investing in some oil mines business. She never got off her phone and acted like a baby. I hadn't seen her since I was a kid… she never believed I could be anything but a homeless wreck. I was surprised that she knew where I was but addresses can leak out anywhere. She was always caught up in Gucci and Chanel. Never her own kid...

"What brings you here, Clara?" I asked, gauging the name.

"Well I heard that you have some money and were around town so I thought I'd drop by to see my beautiful baby boy!"

"I'm 23 and an explorer. I don't have time for you," I shouted, as I pointed at the door.

"LEAVE!"

"But you have time for that fancy newspaper company?!And not your mother?"

"You're no mother, you're an ugly beast with a heart of stone and a brain of glass! You have no idea who I am! LEAVE NOW!!!"

She left and gave me an angry smirk.

I think that's all that happened today, except the shower leaked! But that's not exciting. So bye.

Hello journal, I saw Haver today. She was walking the streets with a boy. He was tall and looked English. His smile was bright, easy for any girl like her to fall in love with. My teeth are still recovering after the loss of dental hygiene on my expeditions. They were whitish I guess, but disgusting compared to his shiny, pearly white teeth. He put his arm around her and they smiled for a while. I think Haver saw me because they started running and never looked back. I guess she didn't like me. We had only just met. And being a beautiful girl like her she could have any boy, why me?

Today's Thursday, I don't know why I decided to mention that but days are feeling shorter and shorter, I guess I almost lost track of time. Maybe I would lose track of time with Haver. Enough of that. I shouldn't like her.

I walked the streets alone, wishing for Pickles to be by my side. He's staying with Hakada who basically saved his life but he doesn't know. I saw Haver and she ran up to me…

"Maverick? Is that you? Oh please be you!" She said with tears running down her pale cheeks.

"Umm, yes it's me." I said as she gave me the biggest hug anyone has ever given me.

"Oh I've been looking for you, with my friend Alex. I needed to tell you something!"

"What is it?" I asked, looking into her soft green eyes.

"I..I like you Maverick, ever since I was a kid I always wished to travel and climb mountains, fight beasts and find treasure. My mother never even let me dig in the mud. But when I found out about you and your missions from 100 years ago I knew I could do it! And when I saw you I immediately fell in love."

"Oh Haver I like you too..."

Together we lived, we even had a baby boy named Toby and we adopted a dog named Waddles. Pickles and Waddles became best friends. Soon after Toby our 3 month old baby died from a complicated brain disease. So Haver became sad and stopped eating. She was fatigued and usually fainted. I tried so hard. I took her to hospitals and doctors but she just wouldn't eat. But I lost her too. I had depression for 2 years. Until I finally recovered. I met someone named Thea who was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! She had a hard life. Her parents died when she was young and even went into foster care at 14! I hope she doesn't go too I guess she was my second love. Second true love...
