Then I'm back to today
and what I should do
with the day
that looms ahead of me
like a long,
lonely
road.
"I wish I could drive," I tell Mom.
"It's not long till your sweet sixteen," She says.
"I'm not so sure it will be very sweet."
She kisses my cheek and says,
"It will be because you are."
And then she leaves.
Once again
I'm left
with just my thoughts
and the ghost
who haunts me
because
he loves me.
I need to do
something.
If I stay here,
I'm not sure
I can stay awake
any longer.
The cool air comes.
I shiver.
The music turns on.
My Last Breath
by Evanescence.
I don't want to
here these words.
It's a sad song.
Does he want me to feel sad?
If I feel sad,
does he think that will
make my heart
want him more?
He is closer to me now.
So close.
I think I feel
his breath
on my cheek.
And then the phone rings.
It startles me.
I run to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Ava?"
It's the lyrical voice
of the real, live boy.
"Were you sleeping?"
"No. I'm awake."
I don't tell him
I'm avoiding sleep
to avoid
my ghost of a boyfriend.
"I don't have to work today.
Wanna go have lunch? See a movie?"
But there's Cali.
And there's Jackson.
And there's--
me.
"Pick me up this afternoon?
Around one?
