Jason

Dead pan, I pressed the end call button and my cell dropped from my grasp as my limbs went numb.

In my room, I stared blankly into nothing. Everything had gone unfocused, me eyes beginning to water as my body slacked and the walls went down.

Boyfriend. Boyfriend. BOYFRIEND.

The word boomed in my head like a gong, repeating, screaming around my body.

Thats what she had called me.

That's what Alice had called me...

Before she got taken.

<~>

We had been happy. We had been in love. Young-love. High School sweethearts. Call it what you want, it's just words.

I couldn't deal with this. Not again.

I thought this time would be different, it might have changed and I could find that happiness like I know Alice had told me I would and had to find.

But it hasn't. To hear anyone but Alice call me that breaks my heart.

My eyes were blurry now, and as my cheeks dampened I realised that I had started crying. Not the first time Alice had brung tears to my eyes.

I couldn't tell Beth. Sweet, sweet Beth. I couldn't tell her what's had happened. I should, but I couldn't.

She'd understand. She'd help me through the hard times. But I couldn't let it go on any further. I didn't want to hurt her.

I promised myself, that even if I found 'the one' again, I wouldn't follow it through.

You see, when you've been through what I have at such an inexperienced age of life, you don't move on. You try and take each day as it comes and hope for the best.

Now yes there will be good days, but there will also be bad days. I can feel one of those bad days coming up though. The day I'm forced to confront Beth with the truth.

The truth that Alice was stolen from me. This total douche-bag called Cancer stole her off me, and I don't think I'm ever going to get over that.
