Everything's silent, all I can hear is his breathing and mine. How'd we get here, how did we get from loving to nothing. How? I loved him and he loved me. But it was all the secrets, those stupid, stupid secrets.
I stare into his once hazel, warm eyes that are now dark and cold.
His breathing creating puffs of smoke with every exhale. My hands are cold and I look up, and watch the stars up above twinkle. Wishing he could take my hands in his and make them warm again. Maybe this is for the best, maybe it wouldn't have worked. We can't keep hurting each other, even if some part of us wants to be together.
It is what it is. I look back to his eyes and stare for as long as I can, because I'll never see those eyes again, even if they aren't as they once were.
He cups my cheek and gives me a small smile. "I'll always remember you Tori, I love you." He whispers. I don't know if it's real or not but I'll take it, I wish I could turn back time and fix things but it's not possible and I have to live without him. He then turns around and begins to walk away, farther away from me into the opening of trees.
"Ethan wait!" I shout.
He stops and turns around. "Yeah?"
I have to say it, this is the last time I'll see him anyway. "I love you too." I whisper. He gives me a small smile and trust me, I will never forget that smile. Then he begins to walk away, while I watch his tall, muscular figure disappear into the night.
Just like that he's gone.
Out of my mind, out of my heart, out of my dreams and out of my life. A tear rolls down my cheek as I relive our memories. The way we'd playfully fight, our cuddles after a movie, his raspy voice in the morning, his smile and laugh. The way he'd hug me and tell me that I'm beautiful. And his presence, just him being there gives me butterflies, his kisses, winks, everything about him I loved.
Everything about him that I still love.
And with every passing second, I feel myself break and I fall onto my knees on the dirty, muddy ground, trees surrounding me and the moon with its stars shining at their brightest. And it dawns on me that he's actually and truly gone. He's not coming back, and I have to live life without him.
I take in a deep breath, stand up and walk down the forests path to the nearest Cafe. This is my first step, my first step to forgetting about him. I call my mom from the pay phone next to the Cafe and she picks me up. We drive in silence and once we reach home, I run up to my room and turn off the lights. I close my eyes and cherish every memory I had with him before forcing myself to forget, forget every single thing about him.
I wrap myself with my blankets and close my eyes. Goodbye Ethan.
Goodbye Ethan Grant Dolan.
