And somewhere under the vast dark and cold sky, my eyes pause at one corner across the street where the most awaited distraction has been lurking for I don’t know how long.
There he is.
Slowly turning his back on me.
Walking away with his hands in his pockets.
What is he doing outside my house anyway?
Yes. He is the distraction I need to erase Colin in my head.
But no. No.
No. He is definitely not the distraction I need now to completely annihilate thoughts about love and pain. He is not.
Damien.
He is walking away from me again just like what he did six months ago. With that familiar look on his face, I know he is still haunted by the horror I brought into his life. I am the daydream that turned into a nightmare. I am the snake that disguised itself as a butterfly. I am his atomic bomb. Because of me, he is ruined. His life has had a complete 360 degree turn.
Changed for the worse.
“Damien!” I shout on top of my lungs.
Maybe…
Just maybe.
