Eclipse

1 month after the eclipse:

Sometimes I miss Tre and forget that he needs to be with Naomi and his stepson. They all came to my house last week to visit during thanksgiving, and they all seemed so happy. Weirdly, he was able to recall the way he felt for her the second he laid eyes on her. The chosen auare. The blessed one. That's my boy Tre.

Naomi was most definitely not my type, Thea was my type but of course, I wanted Tre to be just as happy as we were. I assumed he was, but I really could never ask anymore. Tre had a family, he had a job choosing a spiritual journey for us all.

Lost in my own thought I heard a crash coming down from my closet, when I walked into my room thea was rummaging through the box of memories I kept from my relationship with Nova.

I had pictures, cards, past gifts, and so many notes. Thea's eye glossed over, she looked straight at me, got up, and just walked out of the house. I didn't chase after thea, I didn't move, I just let it all play out. I stood over top of the mess for a solid 20 minutes, then got on my knees and cleaned the pictures and notes. I glanced at each item as I picked it up, but one by one I placed them all back inside the case.

I grabbed the leather-coated box and sat it on my lap. The coldness froze my legs for a moment, but I couldn't move. Once I saw everything laid out on the floor, it's like all the feelings I had once forgotten came back. What if thea and I don't work out? What if I woke up one day and she was gone, and I have to go on like she's some stranger to me. I will have to forget about all the grace she blessed me with, all the laughs, happy and sad tears, all of it will go on forgotten about.

I got up, stretched my arms side to side, with the memory box underneath my armpit. Next, I got into the side table next to my bed, I opened the first drawer and grabbed a black lighter, and traveled to Azlynn. Just before stepping down into the warm blue-green waters, I shifted into a naiad like always everything seemed so magical.

Everyone was so happy, they all had been focused on keeping order in the river, I swam down to Tion's cave, and sure enough, thea sat at the edge crying into her lap. She hadn't noticed me at all, but I felt her pain. I knew she was hurt, she felt like she was lied to, and of course, she had to notice all of my flaws.

I put my arms around her, and slid the lighter into her hands," We can burn it together, I'm over it. I don't need to keep this hidden away from you or myself, let's get rid of it together."

Thea nodded and grabbed the black case from me, she swam to the surface of the naiad river, and I followed. Just before rising out of the water we just looked at one another and smiled, after we burned the book she looked more relieved. As if I had actually wanted to be with nova instead. Even though she didn't ask for an explanation, I decided to tell her about my past. I told her how hard it was for me to forget about her, but I explained how I just told myself that in the end, we both deserved to be happy. Tre helped me so much with focusing on myself, and if wouldn't have been for him then thea and I would just be strangers.

I would have never got my powers, avi wouldn't be dead, and tre would be alone and confused about being an auare. He is a blessing to my life, just like he has been since day one.

I remember being sick, and she did everything for me. I would lose my head if she didn't make sure it was attached every morning. She finds all my lost things, cooks the best food, and can sing like a goddess. I wouldn't wanna lose someone who loved me with every drop of blood rushing through her veins. I wanted to be loved like this for so long, I finally feel like myself.
