After years of pain, I knew what it felt like to be happy. My happy place was laying on my chest as I stirred awake.
When Gracie left, there was already a hole in my heart, and then she ghosted me and the hole expanded. It was the darkest time in my life. I would rather go through my childhood all over again then lose her again.
I was angry, furious, about to get on a plane to go find her myself and drag her back here and keep her hidden here.
It wasn't like I didn't know where she was, I kept myself updated through her socials as well as Daisy's. I think I made myself stop looking after Daisy posted about her engagement which ruined Blake completely.
Me and him were a mess for months. Even looking at him I could tell that he was missing a big chunk of his life that I will never forgive myself for taking away from him.
When I got the call about mom, I felt like a child again. I missed her more than anything and knowing that I didn't get to say goodbye had hurt me in ways that I didn't know I could hurt.
But it made me at ease knowing that she was happy in her last years. That she was thinking about me, and that she was happy and proud of me.
I had planned to attend her funeral in the place where she decided to stay in California. When the time came, I couldn't get myself to get on the plane, neither could Blake.
I had called her husband and told him in which he told me he understood and that I should stay in contact, maybe come by one day and meet their son.
I feel like- maybe I could have been brave and went if I had Gracie by my side.
She moves in her sleep in cuddles closer to me to where she is practically on top of me. I smile and kiss her forehead. Gracie was clingy, not like she would ever admit it.
I slip out of her hold and the cold air hits me immediately before I step into the warm shower. When I'm finished, I pull on a pair of sweats and make my way to the kitchen to make some food before Gracie wakes up.
A knock at the door startles me, I instantly tense up, praying, hoping it isn't my father. I wasn't kidding when I said that I wouldn't let that man anywhere near Gracie.
Over the past couple months, I ended our contract on time for me to start online courses for school. I never had the chance to go to college, and I felt like now was the perfect time.
I open my door and breathe a sigh of relief when I see Marleen, the owner of the apartment complex. "Hey Easton, I got your email and I thought I would come up and talk more about it."
I gesture for her to come in and we settle on the couch.
"So you said you want to end your rental here, can I ask why?"
"I just decided that I never saw this as a home, I'm ready to leave and find a house."
She nods and hands me a stack of papers. "Fill this out and turn it into the front desk, from there you will have a month to move out, you can turn the paper in at any time to give yourself more time."
