Welcome to "A Broken Promise"

It was the summer of 1957, if I remember correctly

As usual my parents were yelling at each other, they were so busy arguing that they didn’t even notice I left.

It had been like that since I remember, I was already used to see them fight and hear the yelling but it still hurt deep inside.

As soon as I stepped outside the rain came down, I have never seen that much rain before, I didn’t mind though, I kept walking letting the rain wash my face an take away my tears

I reached the park and sat down on a bench, there was almost nobody there, and the ones there, were hurrying to leave…

I was lost in my thoughts when suddenly I heard a noise, what a horrible sound; I really thought there had been an accident.

I turned around and saw the car. From the noise the breaks made I could tell they were driving really fast and suddenly stopped.

I could see two people arguing in the inside.

I continued to mind my own business when suddenly I heard her voice.

“Get out of the car” a Lady demanded.

“Mom, are you crazy? Do you see how heavy the rain is? A girl about my age said.

But the lady didn’t listen, “Get out of the car” she said without even looking at her daughter.

“Fine” the girl yelled, she got out of the car but didn’t close the door.

The lady looked at her like demanding something and the girl understood she better close the door.

The lady drove away not even looking back.

I tried to look away, but I couldn’t, what kind of mother would do something like that to her own child, I thought…

My parents argued all the time, but they would never treat me like that, I knew they loved me.

The girl didn’t notice I was there; she was just looking at her mother driving away.

She was crying, but as soon as she saw me she wiped her tears away and walk towards me.

Looks like I'm not the only “lucky” one, she said smiling… and sat next to me.

I just smiled at her; I didn’t really feel like talking. I just wanted to be alone.

“So what happened to you”, she asked.

“Nothing” I said, looking away from her.

She looked down and said

“It’s not the first time she had done that to me, two days ago I had to walk over 15 miles to get home”

I didn’t know what to say, so I just looked at her…

She was quite for a moment, and then she said

“She has never let me out in the rain before…oh well it can’t be helped” she said as she smiled…

“What did you do to her?” I finally asked

Gloria: I just ask a stupid question…

Marla: what question?

Gloria: I asked what were we having for lunch!

Marla: That’s crazy

Gloria: Yeah, I know…

Are you hungry? She asked

Girl: I am so hungry… do you want a hot dog?

And before I could answer she got up and woke to the Hot dog Cart, and bought two.

And as we sat down to eat our hot dogs.

“What are you doing here, in such an ugly day?” She asked

“I just had to get away from home.” I said

We continued to talk; the rain was not bothering us at all.

I learned her name was Gloria, her dad died last year, and her mother was a teacher in her school that also was my school.

I have never seen her before, but we have been in the same school for almost 5 years.

I told her why I was in the park, I told her how painful it was to be in the same house with my parents.

She listen to my problems and I listen to her, and ever since that day we were together, she would come to me and I would go to her, we became friends, we became more than friends, she was my sister, she was my strength and I was hers.

“Lets make a promise,” she said

A promise? I asked

Yes, lets promise to be friends for ever, she smiled. As she puts her hands in the air waiting for me to put my hands on hers…

I said “I promise” as I put my hands on hers…

The fights between my parents still continued and Gloria was still mistreated by her mother, but we didn’t care, or at least now we had somebody to talk to, someone to relay on.

We shared our happiness and sadness our success and our failures.

We continued our friendship all the way to college…

We dated guys, we got drunk, and even smoke some weed, we were happy, we were having fun, and we were loving it, there was not her mother to remind her how useless she was, and there were not my parents to keep arguing.

In our second year I met William, I fell in love as soon as I saw him, he was the perfect man, cute, smart, sensitive and funny, I loved being just with him

He had a friend Brandon, who I soon introduced to Gloria

And the four of us became best friends, always together, hanging out and having fun. After a while, Gloria and Brandon decided to give it a try and they started dating too.

It was obvious they were not as in love as we (William and I) were, but they had fun, and they liked each other.

By that time I knew that as soon as we finished college I was going to marry William…

Gloria didn’t know what she was going to do, one thing was for sure, she was getting a place of her own, she didn’t want to move back to her mothers.

Those four years went by so quickly, I think that’s what happens when you are having fun, time flies away and you don’t even notice.

4 weeks before our graduation I got a phone call, it was my father…

“My mother was in the hospital,” he said, “she has not much time, and she wants to see you.”

She had been dealing with cancer for the last year, I knew this call will come sooner or later, I thought I was prepare but silly me, you can never be prepare to lose someone you love.

I went back to my room.

Gloria: what happened?

I have to go back. My mom wants to see me, I cried.

She hugged me tight and just let me sobbed in her arms.

Gloria: I will go with you

Marla: No… you have finals, and I want to be there by myself. I really appreciate it, but...

Gloria: If you need something, call me

I will, and with that I left…

My mother died later that week, I went back to college, there was nothing else I could do to bring her back.

I came back to find everything had changed

My boyfriend and my best friend were acting strange, they used to be very good friends but now they couldn’t stand each other, it was so obvious that something had happened between them.

Brandon and Gloria were not talking either.

I was just gone for 4 days, I didn’t understand what was happening, and no one wanted to talk about it.

I invited William out for lunch hoping he would tell me something.

Marla: so what happened while I was gone?

William: what you mean?

Marla: you know what I mean! What happened between Gloria and Brandon?

“I don’t know” he said, “ You shouldn’t worry about them”

He was not acting like himself, I was talking and talking and he seemed so far away from me, he was not listening to anything I had said, he was lost in his thoughts.

I could tell he was sad, there was something bothering him, but he wouldn’t talk, no matter how much I tried, he didn’t open up for me.

We were ready to leave when he said:

“Come what may”

Marla: what?

William: I love you

He smiled at me, he was about to cry, his eyes were watery…

“What’s wrong?” I asked him

William: Nothing…promise me you will never hate me, no matter what I do or did, you will never hate me…

Marla: what? What are you talking about? Why would I hate you?

William: just promise me…

Marla: ok. I promise

And we that we ended our conversation, paid the bill and went back to our dorm…

That night I talked to Gloria, I told her what had happened in the restaurant, I told her how strange William was acting, I asked her if she knew something

But she didn’t say anything back; she just stared at the moon lost in her thoughts too.

“Lets go to the park tomorrow” she finally said.

Marla: The park?

Gloria: yes, the one where we met. I want to go back there

Marla: why?

Gloria: don’t know.

And we that we went to sleep…

And next day as I waited for Gloria to show up, I remembered when we met, I remembered how we met, the promise we made and all those beautiful moments we spent together, all the afternoons fishing or just handing out in my place

I also thought about William, I was so lucky to have both of them in my life, Gloria was like a sister to me, and William, he was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

My thoughts were interrupted by a crying Hi.

I turned around to see Gloria, her face showed so much sorrow, I had never seen her like t hat, not even that day when her mother left her in the park.

Before I could asker her what was wrong, she said:

Gloria: I'm sorry… we were drunk, we didn’t know what we were doing, it was just sex, it didn’t mean anything, I'm sorry, please forgive me!

I froze.

All those memories I had a moment ago were broken into million pieces… I didn’t recognize the people in them anymore.

They had the same faces, but no the same feelings, how can you break a promise like that?
What did all the time we spent together mean for you?

Where did our friendship go?

Are you the same Gloria I met 10 years ago in this same park?

Was he the same William that made love to me two weeks ago? What did I do wrong?

Why did you betray me like that? Why did you choose the place where it hurts the most? I wanted to ask her so many questions, but I couldn’t speak.

“Say something, please” she asked…

Marla: If it was just sex, why didn’t you look for someone else? You knew I loved him! You knew how I felt. I just don’t get it, please tell me this is a joke!

Gloria: I'm sorry…

Sadly “A sorry” was not good enough!

Marla: I don’t really know what hurts more. The fact that you slept with him, or the fact that you don’t love him!

Marla: It would be so different if there were some “love” involved. I would have understood if you had said you slept with him because you loved him, or at least I would have tried to understand.

Marla: You have no idea how much it hurts to know that while my mother was dieing you were opening your legs for my boyfriend.

Marla: And the only thing you have to say, “I’m sorry, we were drunk, it was just sex!”

Marla: He is just a guy, and even thou I love him more than anything else, he still just a guy, I met him 2 years ago, I'm sure I will find someone else.

Marla: but you, you were my friend, my sister, no matter how many friends I have I won’t find one like you; we have gone thru a lot. We had a promise, a promise you broke the moment you slept with him.

“I don’t want to see you again” I said as I walked away…
