Forget Me

"Come on" he replied as he closed the door to the car and motioned for me to come. I was about to do something really idiotic. "It's not too far from here." He then took a hold of my hand as we got closer and a very devilish grin appeared on his face. Breaking in a nursery was never really something I thought I would be doing, but here I was holding hands with Ren. "Are you sure this is okay?" "Nope, and stop worrying, I know what I'm doing." He squeezed my hand and smiled. Why did I agree to do this? I mean we could have stayed at the library like everyone else.

The nursery is closed at these hours and getting caught would only result in serious punishment. I was so anxious I nearly heard Ren's voice. "We're here" he said as he quietly opened the door.

The nursery is one of my favorite places to go during my free time. Plants and thousands of flowers surround a stone path that leads towards a large oak tree. The cold air lightly brushes against my skin and I get a sense of calmness. I look up, and the stars are more visible than ever. I compare the many stars to Ren's eyes and how they sparkle in the moonlight. The tiny lights lead our way to the oak tree where Ren stops. "Remember when we used to come here?"
"Yeah, absolutely." He turns to me and looks me in the eye and smiles. I always loved when he smiles. "Why did you bring me here?" I was so curious. Our little short lived past is gone, plus he has a girlfriend.

"I still have feelings for you" he said as he gently touched my face with his hand, and kissed my lips softly. I was amazed at the act and suddenly pulled away and looked into his eyes. He had guilt in his eyes. "I'm sorry, I just.." Without hesitation I reached for his shirt and pulled him into me. He put his hand on my waist and the other one in my hair. I couldn't imagine myself with anyone else and at that moment I wanted him more than anything.

I got a hold of his shoulders and pulled away. How did we get this far? How did we end up like this?

Never in a million years would've I imagined that I would be in this situation. "I don't know what to say" I took two steps back feeling unsure of myself. "Idris" I whispered. He took a hold of my hand. "I'm not my best self with her, I'm not happy."

I looked down regretting how relieved I was. "Then why are you still with her?" he took a moment to gather his thoughts. "I've been lying to myself about my emotions towards her, I plan to end that soon you know." Considering this I let go of his hand. "Then what?" He smiled. "That's up to you"
