guardian angel (completed)

hideaway (iii)

a slight gust of wind blew past us. i was about to take off my jacket for her but i saw her already wearing the one i lent to her from the other night.

"you know, i keep having some of these little flashes of memories," she said and glanced at me.

"oh. what about?"

"it was always me and this guy. in this park. we would come out here all the time. we didn't need to go anywhere else to spend time together. just being together here in this park would make us so happy."

it's me, you silly girl.

"oh. and you don't remember him?"

"no."

"is that why you keep coming here?"

she nodded and said "the thing is, i don't know how i can manage to forget someone so important in my life."

that's because we decided to part, Peyton. and that crushed you for weeks. furthermore, it destroyed me for life. you have no idea how much i want to just hug you right now, you beautiful girl.

"it'll come back eventually," i manage to say.

"i hope it will. because it actually felt like i was really happy."

we were, Peyton.
