It's been countless days since I was his and he was mine, it's been too long and I'm starting to think that I'll never get over the hole in my heart.
I haven't wanted sleep for the past twenty hours and driving home all alone was just what I needed.
I spent the whole time thinking, contemplating and yet, I have nothing. I'm not further in any decisions and my mind is definitely not calmer. The heartache is seeping into every cell of my body but I want to do this, and I know I do.
As soon as Miles started acting good, everything was good, but as soon as he returned to his bad, everything went downhill, this whole time I've known exactly what I've wanted and Miles knew it too.
I park in front of Miles's black house before slowly making my way toward it. The house greets me in an odd way, in a dark and chilling way. As If I belong here but don't somehow. I take a deep breath before knocking on the door.
The thought of seeing Miles even if just for a brief second makes my heart race and my legs feel weak. I wait for almost thirty seconds and no one opens the door but when I knock again, the door opens sharply.
"Oh." I let out without conscious thought at the sight of Valentina. She gives me a bright smile which I return.
"Is, um, Miles here?" I ask, unsure why I asked. My mind is still not working correctly and especially not when I'm outside his house; so close to him.
"No, I'm sorry, but I can tell him—" I shake my head. I'm surprised that Miles hasn't told her, but maybe he doesn't have a reason to.
"No that's okay." I smile at her.
"I, um, I just wanted to give him this," I say, placing the keys to Miles's Lamborghini in her hand.
"Okay." She smiles kindly, holding the keys and glancing at the car behind me.
"I will give it to him." She smiles again and I nod.
"Thank you." I give her a small wave before turning around and walking down the small steps. I hear the front door click closed as I finally make my way down the driveway.
STEPHANIE'S CAR PULLS up to Miles's Driveway to pick me up. I enter the car that feels so different from the Miles-smelling Lamborghini I'm used to.
"Ready for class?" Stephanie asks and I shake my head. Nerves are running through me, I had no idea that my second semester would come so soon, even though so much has changed and I'm a different person now, it's still too soon, it all happened so quickly and in midway, I lost control and now my life is spinning into endless misery because the one thing I didn't want, has now convinced me that I need him more than life itself.
"I don't know." I finally answer and she flashes me a small smile.
"Well, then we can skip, today at least, it's nothing but stupid introductory," Stephanie suggests and I nod.
"We'll go shopping instead?" She suggests and I smile.
"Okay." Shopping will take my mind off my buzzing mind. The rain is light as we drive slowly, stopping at the red lights unlike I'm used to from Miles driving me.
Stephanie takes a few turns before to my surprise stopping at the coffee shop I once went to with Miles at five am. I try to contain my breathing, trying to calm myself down somehow but all I want to do is collapse from the sadness and uncertainty inside of me, will it ever go away?
"One grande strawberry coffee and, um . . ." Stephanie waits for me to finish.
"Caramel frappuccino." I smile and Stephanie repeats my words to the cashier.
