Missing in Action

Safe?

I started walking back home, thinking about calling someone to come get me, but decided against it.

I couldn't stop thinking about what I was gonna say to Sean. 'Sorry about not meeting you earlier. I fell asleep after crying for hours, because my boyfriend who I thought was dead came back and still loves me and I still might be in love with him, because really, who forgets their first love?'

I'm screwed.

And what about Harry? After everything he just told me. I don't want to break his heart. He loves me. He should've written or called or anything. I went through months of hell. And Sean is safe. Sean has always been there and he wouldn't just pick up and leave.

Harry is not so safe. He left. He left within 1 day of telling me. I didn't even have time to take it in. The next day, it hit me. It all hit me at once.

I stayed in my rooms for weeks. I would wake up at one in the afternoon. My mom would force me to eat something, crackers, toast, sometimes I would try to keep down rice, but would always end up with me in the bathroom, getting sick. I'd cry for hours. Wouldn't be able to calm down till one in the morning, then fall back asleep.

My dreams would be my only relief. He was in every one. As the weeks went by, he was in it less. He would start off being the only I could see. Then, by the third month, I could barely see his curls, or his jade eyes, or his dimples...

Then I met Sean. It was about 5 months after Harry left. I was finally able to leave my room and I went to go grocery shopping for my mom. I met him in the coffee aisle. He was wearing a blue polo and kakis. His blonde hair was perfectly styled and not a single scuff mark on his loafers.

He wasn't like Harry. Not at all. I just couldn't picture myself with anyone else, but Harry.

I dropped my basket and Sean was helping pick everything up.

FLASHBACK

"Here you go."

"Thanks..." I looked down, still not used to human contact.

"Sean." He held out his hand for me to shake. I didn't take it.

"Audrey." I gave a small smile.

"Nice to meet you." He shoved his hand, that was once held out for me, in his pocket.

I went to grab the last coffee can, my moms favorite, when he went for the same one.

"See I can let you have this last can, but then what am I gonna do?" He showed his beautiful teeth.

"That's okay. You can have it." I started to walk away.

"Wait! How about you can come over to my place and we can discuss it there?" He was charming. Ill give him that.

"The coffee was for my mom anyways."

"We can go somewhere else. That has coffee or something else that you might like?" There's that smile again.

"Umm..."

"Look, today I promised myself that if I saw a beautiful girl, grabbing my coffee, I would take her out. Don't make me disappointed." This time it was me smiling.

"Okay..."
