The Woman In The Red Dress

15- Move On

What do I do now ? I still can't believe it, but I should have. I feel like an idiot.

Guess I've been sort of quiet lately. My peers have been asking me if anything was up. Of course something was up, but I can't say why. I'd lie and then move on. Move on... I should be doing that already like my lies. Move on. But I can't.

I know I can't live the rest of life being so gloomy. That isn't really healthy to do. Keeping it in also isn't ideal, but damn, expressing it to someone is quite hard to do. So what do I do now ?

I sat in my room alone, thinking of what to do. My head hangs low, having a sigh leave my mouth. My hands clasped together tightly. You'll be fine, I tell myself.

My mind drifted towards her. I know she is going to live a nice life...without me perhaps. I shook my head, trying to get that thought out of my mind. Come on. Don't think about it at all.

I know I shouldn't sulk in my room alone. Being alone thinking about...it isn't going to help this situation out in any way. I should move on. Move on, get out, live a little.

I peered outside from my window. It was getting dim out. It didn't appear cold, so I put on a light jacket and some shoes then left the house.

The streets were pretty empty. Everyone must be home, living their own way. I stare forward, having my mind empty. I did zone out, but unsure for how long. I stopped at a crosswalk and leaned against a pole. I could see my breath faintly in the air. No cars drove by.

My eyes looked around the place, slightly admiring the peacefulness and quietness of the city. Then my eyes landed on the familiar park that isn't so far. Without thinking, I headed over there at my own pace. Once there, I looked around more. No one was here. It was empty and cold.

I spotted an empty bench and headed over there and sat down onto the cold bench. I stare off into the distance. My eyes darted around the park, thinking about the old times of being young again. Soon I began to wonder what could have been.

I stayed alone with my thoughts for a while until I felt a presence near me. I turned to my left then my right and on my right was...Ada ?

"Ada," I softly gasped. "What are you doing here ? Aren't you supposed to be--"

"I had a change of mind."

Really ? I didn't know what to say. I did want to say thanks.

We sat there in silence for a moment.

My eyes kept peering downward with slight glances at her. She looked beautiful as ever, but I can't figure out why she would be here with me. Why change her mind from her...special event ?

I finally fully look at her, wanting to pour out my feelings once more even if I end up looking more dumb. I tried to open my mouth, but I couldn't figure out the right words. Ada looked at me with her brown, beaming eyes full of so much compassion. She gave me a soft smile. I couldn't help but slightly smile back at her.

She suddenly rested her head against my shoulder. I was surprised and I could feel my face warm up. I smiled a bit more.

Hi. they get married, trust me- but Short chapter to an end huh ? It was going to be a bit more longer, but I just couldn't anymore.
If ya don't want any more explanation as to my mind set while writing this, you can go. This is the end.

But a bit of a warning vent if you wish to understand my mind set of this story:

I wrote this when I was a very young teen. I'm an adult now (graduated and everything). Sorry for disappearing a lot with this fic. School, work, and bad mental sanity.
Especially the ending. I'm sorry. I was so ready to end it off with a SURPRISE, but unexpected, my [ex-partner] left me. Considering this chapter was about yeah (since the beginning), I couldn't finish it without feeling so depressed and so why this doesn't feel like the best. Sucks to watch someone you adored for 2 years slowly lose interest in you all together...
So, I not sure how I feel about this fic anymore. I feel like I could have done better in some way. Now it shall haunt me a bit. Sucks when I adore AEON to death. I still love the pair; never going to stop loving it. I could have done better. Anyone who read this and still like it: thanks. Would make young teen me happy.

Thanks for reading and more thanks if read my explanation and understand my situation.
