Ten Years Later

Chapter 3

Will

''Will...do you think Nicole would prefer it if I wore a blue suit or a grey one?'' Andy's annoying voice made me turn the TV on mute.

''What?''  I asked, pretending like I cared about what he wore to meet the parents of his ''girlfriend'', who was far too good for him, but why did I care?

''Blue or Grey?'' He lifted two different suits up, I scanned them both; they looked exactly the same, extremely hideous and worn down.

''Maybe try a black one'' I said and turned the TV on full volume.

I didn't think that I would still be friends with Andy after so long, despite the fact that we argued like all the time and didn't really agree on anything, we even lived together. I guess that if you looked at the bright side, I would rather live with Andy than with my own brother. Plus sharing a place makes the rent cheaper so I always focused on the upside of things.

''You're a dick'' I heard him shout over the TV, I couldn't help but laugh and give him the finger.

After what seemed like forever he finally left the apartment and I was finally alone. Well, there wasn't much to do on a Saturday afternoon so, as a single guy I did what any normal single guy would do. I went to my room and did play on my xbox.

           After a good few hours of playing, my mind completely drifted off in a very strange direction. Suddenly the girl that I had not thought about in 8 years came into my mind. I felt this strange emotion pass through me, and suddenly all these forgotten feelings and emotions, and well memories flooded back.  She was the one that I had wanted to do everything with. I suddenly felt the long forgotten pain that I felt when I lost her. I never blamed her for leaving me, for the following two years I couldn't stop thinking about her, she never left my mind, and I was so used to having her around, talking to her, being her everything that it was hard for me accept that she was really gone.

Oh and now the first time she and I kissed or when we made love and lost our virtue to each other suddenly came back and I could remember it as if it happened yesterday.  I really felt like she was the one and that I would never lose her... well it seemed like life had something else in mind.

To this day, I still cannot find the reason why she left, it might have been because of some other guy, but I can't quite remember who he was, and what she saw in him.  I knew that if I continued thinking about her I would most likely fall back into deeper depression and start blaming myself for losing the most important girl in my life. Instead of getting myself down I decided to go out and try finding a job of some sort, anything that paid better than the damn benefit I was receiving and possibly get my mind off Monica.
