Lost Love

Chapter 8 (Caleb's POV)

I came back in my office as she left. I sat down on my chair thinking about this strange feeling inside my chest. Since yesterday, my mind is occupied by her thoughts. She is reminding me of her.
My Angel. I smiled thinking about her. They both have similar eyes and smile but that doesn't mean she is my angel. Emily lives in London and I don't know where is my angel now. She was my best friend. Those six months of childhood are the best memories of my life. I still remembers the last day we met.

FLASHBACK

I was getting ready to go to the park. This is how I spend my evenings with my angel. She asked me to get my photo I wonder why but I took one and kept it in my jeans pocket. I remembered the time I met her six months ago. She was sitting alone and crying. I just couldn't stand there seeing her cry. She looks so innocent. That's why I called her angel. And when we became friends we started spending our evenings together in the park. We used to play together forgetting about the whole world around us. I never asked her name. That will be my regret for the whole life.

As I reached the park, I ran towards her excitedly. She just brightens everyone's day with her smile. But today she was not smiling. There are tears in her eyes and she is holding something in her hand.

"What happened? Why are you crying angel?" I asked as I wiped her tears with my hands.

"I am leaving big bear". She said sadly.

"Leaving ? What do you mean"? I asked her. I am confused now.

"Dad said we are leaving this place and going somewhere. So I came to say goodbye to you". She said while sobbing.

I don't want to lose my angel. She is my only best friend. But I can't do anything to stop her.

"I don't want to leave you big bear". She said hugging me tightly.

I started crying hugging her back. We sat like that for sometime just crying without saying a word.

"I asked you to bring your photo? Did you brought it"? She asked wiping my tears with her small hands.

"Yes". I told her. And took it out from my pocket and gave it to her.

She took it and smiled and gave me small teddy bear keychain.

"I brought it for you". A cute teddy bear for my big bear. She said making me laugh.

I took it from her hands and kept it inside my pockets safely.

"So... Goodbye big bear. I hope I'll see you again". She said with a sad smile controlling her tears.

"Good bye angel. I'll never forget you". I said and went to my house.

When I reached my house, mom and dad were sitting in the living room along with Isabelle. I ran towards mom and started crying while hugging her.

"What happened baby"? Mom asked concerned about my state.

I told them about my best friend. They listened to my every word and comforted me .

End of flashback.

I just can't forget her. She was my first best friend. Then I met Ryan in school. Since then he is my only best friend. I miss her a lot. I wonder how she looks now. I still have that keychain with me. I was thinking about angel but my mind kept showing me Emily's face. I don't know why I felt a connection towards Emily. I never felt this for any woman before. I don't have any girlfriend. I dated in high school but that doesn't feel right, So I stopped dating. I just have flings.

My thoughts got interrupted by Ryan's call.

"Hello". I said as I picked up the call.

"Hi Caleb. Where are you? I hope you didn't forgot about my party. I even invited Michael, Sophie and Emily". He said excitedly.

Ryan is total opposite of me. I won't say it front of him but he is the most important part of my life. He is always there for me no matter what. He is like a brother to me.

"How can I forget when you remind me for like 100 times". I told him.

"You are exaggerating now. I just text you for 10 times. Because I know you. You will get busy". He said .

"Don't cry now. I'll be there". I said to him.

"I am not crying and be on time". He said and hang up.

After talking with him I got busy in my work trying my best to avoid this new feeling developing inside me.
